So Divided is an album by ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead released on November 14, 2006. It saw the band continuing to expand its sound, along the lines of its predecessor Worlds Apart.
The album was leaked in its entirety onto peer-to-peer filesharing networks on October 3rd, 2006.
The lead single from the album is the track Wasted State of Mind.
The band has personally distanced themselves from the album since its release, choosing not to play any material from it on their current tour and write new material. A video was created for Naked Sun, but with no input whatsoever from the band.[citation needed]
