 Really dissapointed. Aug 27, 2008
Let me start this by saying that the first time I heard the Lost Trailers album "Welcome To The Woods" I fell in love with their music. They had an amazing sound, powerful lyrics, and a magical combination of songs that I still listen to over and over and over. It's one of my favorite albums to this day.
So I was so excited to see this CD come out, and the day it was released I rushed down to my local record store, picked up the album, got to the car played it and was instantly completely disappointed. They had traded in their wonderful alt-country-rock/roots rock/southern rock sound for sold out country. I'm even a fan of most of the local original Country acts here in Texas, but the style of music that The Lost Trailers decided to produce on this album was a wretched style of sold-out-Nashville country that screams of hopeful radio singles and drunk rednecks screaming your music in a trashy bar.
I listened to the album 3 times completely through, hoping that I would be interested, or find some gem of a song that would keep my faith in the band but I didn't. So now the album sits in the bottom of my drawer and doesn't even rank a spot on the ipod.
If you want good music, this album isn't it. If you want to see what we all lost when The Lost Trailers sold out, go buy Welcome To The Woods, you'll be amazed at the difference. Don't buy this album unless your favorite artist is Toby Keith.

 Absolute sincerity Sep 03, 2007
I've always said that the one kind of country music I don't like is "soulless country." While The Lost Trailers have a mainstream sound and a few lyrical cliches on this CD, the lead singer definitely gives a sincerity to the music. There's also still somewhat of a rootsy edge on songs like "Gravy." This is a very well produced CD, and they rock live, too.

Sellout Mar 09, 2007
This CD is the result of everything that is wrong with the music industry. As has already been mentioned, the Trailers have put out some great recordings that were the epitome of southern-fried rock. I can only assume that the label pushed them in the direction of pop country. The music on this CD is both shallow and overly sacharine and unfortunately, will probably be a big sucess. Just as disturbing as the music is the way the band is being marketed. Ryder Lee has been pushed to the front because he has a pretty face. Stokes Neilson was the heart and soul of this band and has been forced to take a back seat in order to improve the appeal of this band.
The Lost Trailers have sold their souls to the devil (money and fame).

What happened to the alt? Jan 05, 2007
Very dissapointing...The Lost Trailers are obviously hoping for Country Music airplane on this latest release. They certainly can no-longer be considered an alt.county band. The songs are terribly shallow - unlike anything they had released before.
Welcome to thew Woods was so good...this is lousy.
Why the change in music philosophy guys?

 Wow, not the same Trailers I saw in concert Sep 28, 2006
I bought the CD on spec, figuring its The Lost Trailers...the band who'd brought me Under FM Waves, Horse, and Fire on the Pontchartrain..it HAS to be good. I was wrong. It sounds like the very worst of 'pop country' out there. If you like that sort of thing, you'll enjoy this cd, if you prefer the story driven songs and interesting guitar work...save your money (( or if you are curious, you can buy my copy of the CD on ebay ))
