It was released to wide critical acclaim in early 2002 and is generally considered their finest work. The album reached #73 on the UK Album Chart. It is often cited among fans to be 'Trail of Deads best album, however, the band continues to deny it to this day, claiming that their best album is the one they are currently working on. () Music videos were produced for "Another Morning Stoner" and "Relative Ways", which saw airplay on MTV2. ==Recording and production== After releasing two albums on indie record imprints, Trail of Dead signed a multi-release deal with Interscope Records and began recording a followup to 1999's ''Madonna'' with the same producer, Michael McCarthy.〔 Their major label budget improved recording quality and allowed intricate orchestral pieces, yielding a sound texture unlike previous records. ''Source Tags & Codes'' was recorded in Cotati, CA and mixed in Nashville, TN. The album had a budget of 150 000 dollars.() The song 'Baudelaire' refers to the French poet, Charles Baudelaire, and 'Days of Being Wild' is named after the Hong Kong film of the same name. "After the Laughter" samples the song "Someday (You'll Want Me to Want You)" written by Jimmie Hodges and performed by Mary Margaret Ragan. The song "Homage" is a homage to Unwound. On the day "Homage" was recorded, producer Mike McCarthey woke Keely up that morning by throwing cold water in his face for him to be aggressive enough to record the drum track. In the song "It Was There That I Saw You": ''"Keely had intended to conjure up the intoxicating thrill of living in Austin Texas in the mid-nineties, before America had gone to shit. The inspiration came from a girl he used to work with that he had a crush on, and several late nights spent in the company of people on drugs"'' () The title of "Another Morning Stoner" refers to getting an erection in the morning or smoking marijuana. The song is inspired by Keelys relationship with his ex-girlfriend who was raised Christian. ''"It recalls a moral dilemma he underwent when he realized that eventually theology would drive them apart more than anything else, because of his strong negative feelings towards organized religion."''() 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Source Tags & Codes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
