I first heard Trocadero's "Blood Gultch Blues" and I instantly fell in love with their work. Their best (songs in my opinion) are (617), Blood Gultch Blues, Intro, Oh Five, A Girl Named Tex, No One, Steady Ride, and Oh Five. If you're going to buy this CD because of one or two tracks, STOP! On [...], you can buy mp3's of each track. But if you're like me and like Trocadero's work and wanted to hear more by them, this CD is for you!

Wow! Awesome band. Was great hearing the theme song for Red vs. Blue in it's entirety as well as several other songs I thought were only scores. I am surprised Trocadero don't have many other albums. This is a must have for ALL Red vs. Blue fans.

Like a lot of people who have this album, I was a huge fan of the "Red vs. Blue" Blood Gulch Chronicles, for which this album served as soundtrack, from the main theme (Blood Gulch Blues) to incidental music (BATE). And yet... after several spins, I realized this group's music is not a simple soundtrack, the CD stands well on its own as a great, straight-up alt/indie rock album. The group seems pretty quirky, rocking when they feel like it (and yes, they can), other times being comic, cynical, heartfelt, nostalgic, bluesy, grungy...their self-given title of "experimental" fits very well. Standout tracks include the loungy, reflective "No One," the rock/county ballad "A Girl Named Tex," the laid-back, homespun, almost karaoke-sounding "Superhero" and "Steady Ride," a great song for the open road. One of the VERY rare CDs that I happily listen to every track. Money well spent, and I wish they'd hurry up with their long-delayed second album. ^.^

This CD has become defineteley one of my favorite in my 50 CD collection. Even if you haven't watched the series, the music is great and has great poetry. Bravo, to Nico.

I bought this cd to get 2 tracks: Blood Gulch Blues & another song entitled No One. Both of these songs were longer then played in the original series and I am just happy to contribute to any one who helped with Red vs Blue.

this band is not among my favorites, and i wouldnt suggest buying a whole cd for two songs, but I am not displeased with my purchase at all.
