Explosions in the Sky have a good thing going on, and they've clearly decided not to fuck with it. My desire to dock them points for drawing water from the same well time and time again is stunted by the fact that it's some really cold, tasty water.
This is what you expect it to be - beautiful, effects heavy guitars over a driving rhythm section, the tracks meandering in and out of focus, up and down in tempo and volume, and sounding quite beautiful. Like a film score really, maybe a work by Terrence Mallick, certainly something you'd want to see on opening weekend. It sounds more or less like every other EitS album, and yet I never grow tired of their formula. Probably because it's so well crafted and pleasant to the ears - these Texas lads may non-vocally wear their heart on their sleeves, but we're all better for it.
You like Explosions in the Sky? You won't be disappointed here. But I suspect you already knew that.
