Favorite Explosions In The Sky Album?

[BulleTheory]

had to go with The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place, one of my favorite albums ever...so much emotion.

[Ryzenfall]

The Earth Is Not... followed by All of A Sudden...

[briewer]

Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Live Forever, followed closely by All Of The Sudden, I Miss Everyone. But really, you can't go wrong with this band.

i've heard some of their stuff a while back, but it never stuck. i'll have to give them another shot. which album's the most recommended for newcomers?

[doppelganger]

I would say start with The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place. Their The Rescue EP for the Travels in Constants series might be accessible for starting listeners as well.

yeah earth is so epic. I love the newest one Sudden, though, good mix of instruments

[Radiology]

The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place is easily my favorite.

However, "Yasmin The Light" is my favorite song by Explosions.
The Rescue is a great album to listen to in the Summer though.

But I must say, after seeing Mono live I like them much more than Explosions in the Sky when it comes to "that" post-rock sound.

the breakout at 5:25 of The Birth And Death Of The Day gets me everytime.

Truth. It's spectacular.
Earth is a Cold Dead Place ftw, but as mentioned you really can't go wrong.

I also like your user title. Great band, album, and song. :-)

[Undue Noise]

The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place easily for me.

[flourish]

The Earth. Hands down.

personally, i think All Of The Sudden I Miss Everyone is the most accessible overall, but The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place has songs like The First Breath After Coma and Your Hand In Mine that you'll just absolutely love

[deathcabkid11]

that's the one i'm missing!

I've seen multiple copies at Newbury Comics! Side b of the second LP looks amazing. It's got three different birds etched into it.
