Music reviews of All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone
Music Review: Thank you for saving me..
Rating: 5 Stars
I am a musician, first of all. I've felt like the music I once knew, and loved dearly, the feeling I always tried to hold on to, was beginning to slip through my fingers these past few years of my life. Living in a world of gears and levers, this record suddenly made me remember that there is fluidity, that air and water still hold onto a motion that remains relative. The jerky, choppy movement of a tire over worn, cracked pavement, or the harsh rhythm of the highway being beaten down into the soil beneath it has become the soundtrack of my life for quite some time. I forgot what it felt like to have a feeling pushing out from the center of my chest, something there were no words for, a drive and a motive, giving me an undefined but very real purpose in what I am doing with my life. This record came directly at it from the outside and started pulling, reopening the once closed space between my heart and my breastplate for my emotions to rush in and fill again. How do you make yourself remember, Explosions in the Sky? Every day that you wake up and pick up your instruments again, how do you keep from forgetting that the world is beautiful? That we do not live on a "cold, dead" planet? I don't know the words to spell out the formula you use to achieve this day in and day out, but this record is certainly helping me to understand. Thank you, and steady the course boys..what it was you wanted, from the time you were young, before you could visualize it, before you knew there was anything it couldn't be, before you could imagine that there was anything else that couldn't be it, that place in your soul that leaked into your mind and gave you something words were never meant to name, the intangible feeling thats was aways more than a feeling, the thing you always tried to make into a bubble..you're achieving it now. Run with it.
Description of All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone
Limited edition two CD pressing of the long waited fourth studio album from the moody and intense Texas instrumental band Explosions In The Sky featuring a bonus disc of remixes of each of the album's six tracks. Known for bringing an emotional heft and sense of hope to a usually placid genre, Explosions In The Sky have experienced the kind of meteoric rise in popularity that flies in the face of music industry convention. Their songs run well past a length suitable for radio play or commercial music videos; they avoid performing in LiveNation/Clear Channel venues; they didn't jump to a major label; and they don't sing. They're also the very rare band that fans of Sigur Ros, Sufjan Stevens and My Chemical Romance can all agree on. EITS are not just an anomaly, they're a gateway. Recorded by John Congleton (The Roots, The Mountain Goats) at Pachyderm Studios in rural Minnesota, the album is a massive leap forward, showcasing a broader instrumental range and their most focused, efficient songwriting. Bella Union. 2007.Sometimes Explosions in the Sky start with a whisper and end with a scream, but on "Birth and Death of the Day", they begin with a scream and proceed into a symphonic odyssey that Aaron Copland might have composed if he'd played electric guitar. Like Copland, EITS are cinematic, but with more kinetic drive than any film--except maybe Koyaanisqatsi--could match. Compositions like "It's Natural to Be Afraid" take you on epic journeys that roar like a Harley Davidson one minute and slip into taut contemplation the next, using the slow-tension build that EITS have perfected. All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone was produced by John Congleton, who has worked with lo-fi groups like the Roots and the Mountain Goats. That might explain why the album lacks the atmosphere of EITS's monumental The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place and their Friday Night Lights soundtrack. Instead, they rely even more on the arc of their compositions and the integral twin lead guitar lines that never solo but always drive the songs. They can shift from power-chord aggression to the sound of plucked mandolins in an instant. This is progressive rock for people who weren't even born when prog reigned supreme. It's the sound of King Crimson, transmuted through punk and grunge aesthetics. --John Diliberto
