Ain't the new sound just like the old sound?

In the interest of keeping things fresh, I have decided to put up some shit on an artist I've been listening to or was listening to. Some of you might have heard of it, but most likely not. So here goes.
...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead

To be honest, i only really care about only one of their albums, Source Tags and Codes, and have only a mild interest in their other work, but this one album is mind-blowingly good. I can't think of one rock album that touches Source Tags in this decade. The nearest comparison I can think of is to Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dream, but that doesn't do this album justice. It is end to end balls-to-the-wall rock--one of the few indie rock albums I thoroughly enjoy, because its uncompromising in its vision and scope. Of course all the good will went to their heads after this album and they recorded one shitty album followed by a decent one, but whatever.
