Free Music Notes for How Strange Innocence
Free Music Review: A Ride Through Your Emotions
Hit: 5 Stars
Explosions in the Sky can, have, and always will amaze me. On this album, you really get to hear their more indie-influenced side. The songs flow into a tight and cohesive album ready to unwind throughout the listening experience. The best part of any EITS release is how each one conjures these pleasurable, almost nostalgic emotional trips. Even more so on their debut here, in my opinion, as each song reminds me of times alone in an open space with pleasant breezes and richly dark clouds hiding the sun. A real meditation experience, even more so than those meditation tapes I have! This album is just as good as EITS's other masterpieces, and is right up there with my other favorite by them, but you can probably guess which one that is: The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place. If you're into the sounds of indie or GOOD emo, or maybe just downright emotional experience, this is definitely still for me (and maybe you!).Free Music Review: Excellent, but Different
Hit: 5 Stars
Expectations were certainly high for the re-release of this album, EITS's debut album of 2000, and i was not disapointed. Every song on the album is solid, with each song averaging around 6 minutes. That said, this album is very different from the bands two other albums Those who tell the truth... and Earth is not a cold dead place. THis albums is composed of shorter, more accessible songs that are compositions in themselves, while with the other albums, the songs all fit together in one piece, more or less. This album is not worse or better than the other two, just different. Buy all three (five actually, including the Friday Night Lights Soundtrack and The Rescue, which is only availible on their tours)Free Music Review: A Consistently Incredible Sound
Hit: 5 Stars
Explosions in the Sky's debut album, originally only released in extremely small numbers on CD-R, had been remastered and rerelesed, to much anticipation by fans. Ignore the band's self-doubt as written on the CD itself--this is a solid, amazing album. With less buildup/"explosions", EITS crafted a truly all-encompassing grandeur, and while this album feels less produced than their later efforts, it defintiely matches up with the more recent work. My only complaint is the less impressive sound quality. Standout tracks are A Song for Our Fathers, Glittering Blackness, and especially Magic Hours.Free Music Review: Surprisingly my favorite

I am fairly new to Explosions in the Sky, and i initially got "The earth is not a cold dead place" which is an incredible album, but "How Strange, Innocence" has become my favorite. There is a distinct sound that they really reach on this album that i find truely beautiful. Perhaps i just feel that this album isnt getting quite the credit that it deserves, for an instrumental band to convice the listener that words would only bring the song down, is truely an accomplishment.Free Music Review: just close your eyes and let it take you on an amazing journey

I have friends that cannot listen to a band without a singer. Some of my favorite music has no words. These guys are my favorite at that and this remains my favorite of their albums. I believe the album as a whole will have a different effect on each person who listens to it. Amazing.
