Split Personalities is the second album by 12 Rods, released in 1998.[5]
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."[6] 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."[7] 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."[8]
In 2005, City Pages included "Part of 2" on its list of the greatest Minnesota-made records of all time.[9]
