Source Tags & Codes, the third album from Austin's ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, came out on February 26, 2002, and it was the band's first record with a major label behind it, Interscope. Plenty of indie bands got smoothed over by that kind of jump. Trail of Dead got bigger and louder instead.
The core of Conrad Keely and Jason Reece, with Kevin Allen and Neil Busch alongside, pile noise-rock fury on top of sweeping, wide-screen ambition, so the songs lurch from bloody-knuckled riffing to grand swells without losing the thread. Keely, a painter as well, did the artwork, as he did for every Trail of Dead album. "Another Morning Stoner" and "Relative Ways" got videos and airplay on MTV2, the critics fell hard for the record on release, and it is still the one most often named as the band's finest.
