Music reviews of All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone

Music Review: All of a Sudden I'm Looping this Album
Rating: 5 Stars

I can understand how one would prefer The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place. This album is not as epic as that one--it lacks the broad ambient sweep. It took me a few times through All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone before I got it. But now I do, and I think this is one of the best albums I have heard . . . probably ever. The buildups are just as good as in Earth, minus that epic feel, but there is so much more on this album. (Hell, even the album cover is about to go up on my wall.) It really feels like a grown-up venture. Explosions in the Sky seems to have figured out what they want to do, and here it is. And while Earth is an absolutely amazing album, this, somehow, is better.

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
