Deffinately NOT cold and dead.......2007-07-07

I don't normaly do reviews, nor do I normaly recomend music to my friends and family. But I did with this CD.
Perhaps one of the best CD's I've ever bought. I recomended it for all of my friends and family that enjoy instumental music.

Buy this CD and enjoy.

easily their best album.......2007-06-16

I totally love this album. Tracks such as "Your hand in mine" are really wonderful. In their previous album they sounded like GYBE wannabes but here they have their own voice. This is the kind of music you would want to listen to while driving through a lonely Texas highway late in the night.

Excellent ambient music for reading/coding........2007-05-14

EITS did a great job with this album. The music works well in the car or at home while working.

melodophonic.......2007-05-14

good. this is the first explosions in the sky cd i own. i suppose a measure of how much i like them is the fact i will probably buy another. yet nothing about them really grabbed me. fairly a-typical. more melodic than i prefer, a distinct lack of the chaos factor thats so appealing about godspeed you black emperor or early mogwai. but still the peaks of the songs, especially the second track, are pleasing. those of you who found the length of some of mogwai's songs tedious explosions in the sky are less so. i found this meant alot of what did happen seem too condensed but others will be refreshed. the artwork is pretty cool aswell. overall: good. and tag suggestions are stupid

Woah.......2007-02-26

There are plenty of words that come to mind when listening to this CD. Awash, beauty, melancholy, transcendence... the list rolls on. Unfortunately, these aren't exactly words that can be put together to form sentences, just as the songs of Explosions in the Sky can't easily be translated into a review. This album, as a blurb on the cover says, will destroy anyone who has a soul. Anyone who has been in love, has a heart, or has awoken in the morning feeling like things just might end up okay. The melancholy that the album brings also carries with it an intense feeling of hope, especially in the first song, First Breath After Coma. As it crescendos, one can't help but just feel that things will be alright, and there's something to this life, if we can just get it right. And that's what this album seems to be about; destroying anyone with a soul, and leaving them okay.

instant arrow to the heart.......2006-01-20

I'm old. I've heard a lot of excellent music in my time, but find myself listening repeatedly only to a handful of classics that speak to me as if they were hard-wired into my brain. Best of the best. Even so, only a few of those pieces were "instant", sort of like love at first sight. Usually they had to grow on me at least a little. Not "The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place". Heard snatches of it (actually a seperate soundtrack cd) playing behind scenes in the movie Friday Night Lights, and was instantly hooked. With some difficulty ran down the source, found the band EITS, and listened to "The Earth...". Total connection, just like it was a missing piece of my motherboard. This collection me right in the chest, where it's been wrapped around my heart ever since. Wow. Even my 20-somethings are impressed, as evidenced by its frequent empty cd case. Will take an afternoon nap & drink xtra cup of coffee to attend a live performance if this band ever comes my way.

beautifully crafted and wonderful.......2004-10-17

first let me say that i stumbled upon these guys by absolute chance. they opened for modest mouse at stubb's bbq in austin during austin city limits weekend. i had never heard of them, but 5 minutes into their set i knew i would never forget them. this album solidifies them in my book as one of the most impressive musical talents to come out of the lone star state, if not anywhere. the entire cd broods with beauty as each track seems to tell a story, all without words. much like the band's name, explosions in the sky, the music begins quite earnest and humble but only stays this way long enough to explode in intricate melodies. each track easily tops 7 minutes, some quite longer, but it just never feels like something you've experienced before. the music commands attention, and will undoubtedly weave images into the mind. i can't tell you how strongly i suggest this album to anyone. if you've a love for music, this is definitely a rainy day, headphones masterpiece.
