Explosions In The Sky - Take Care, Take Care, Take Care


My Rating: 4/5

Time passes by so quickly…... it is the 6th album from this leading post rock band from Texas and is also already 4 long years since EITS’ last too-fxxking-magnificent album “All of Sudden I Miss Everyone” which is still placed next to my CD player played frequently……one thing to mention, their label Temporary Residence seems put a lot of effort in sleeve design and this LP version’s sleeve pack is just too wonderful (you can build a house on turf with different moods of inside and outside) and the wait of this LP for few more weeks is all worthy…..


Every time ETIS keep playing their one-and-the-only-one quiet-loud-quiet-loud epic post rock music in their new albums, but every time I just had same feeling that their new works are hugely refreshing and exciting……looking into more details of their past works, EITS’ post rock music journey in fact has kept evolving little-by-little and layer-by-layer since their 1st album ‘How Strange, Innocence’ 11 years ago in 2000 which their early stuff tends to be more dark, cold, isolated, melancholic and subtle…….. everything changes since the wonderful “All of Sudden I Miss Everyone” that EITS just completely released their energy and emotion into epic post rock guitar riff blasts throughout the whole album which is much more bright and bold compared to previous albums and virtually made them becoming a wonderful indie stadium rock band and new king of post rock genre that you will agree when you see them playing live of how wonderful and exciting they are!!

So, coming to this new album 'Take Care, Take Care, Take Care', EITS seems going to do the micro-adjustment to get a balance of their past works that come out to be a bit more subtle, atmospheric, calm, less blasted, less energetic, still bright and bold approach compared to the last 2007 album…….I think I like the 2007 album more, but I still feel good on this one the feeling that to expecting and experiencing something exciting and bold, grand, great, blasts of subtlety, etc….that’s the special feeling of me from Explosions In The Sky!!!
