Split Personalities (album)

Split Personalities is the second album by 12 Rods, released in 1998.

Critical reception
The Washington Post wrote that "the clamorous yet tuneful 'Chromatically Declining Me' adds synthbeats and raga-rock riffs to the mix, while both 'I Am Faster' and 'Girl Sun' build noisy rockers atop blithe bossa novas." The Stuart News though that 12 Rods "are nothing less than an American hybrid of Radiohead's ethereal beauty mixed with head-banging metal riffing topped with a singer who sounds like Ozzy Osbourne whining." City Pages opined that the "police siren of a voice and the band's smart-rock overachieving begin to sound like great pop with repeated exposure."

In 2005, City Pages included "Part of 2" on its list of the greatest Minnesota-made records of all time.
