I just wanted to say that the start of ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead's next album, Worlds Apart, is possibly the greatest insanely epic 10-minute opening to an album ever. I don't think Pitchfork will give it a 10.0 this time, but a 9 would only be fair.
There are torrent files for an early Trail of Dead documentary at trailofdead.org, plus some videos of live performances (but you really have to see them for yourself).
