new Explosions in the sky.... (1 Viewer)

[Ciarán R]

Know a lot of people round here don't like them, but I do...a lot...

Just getting through my first listen....
as i expected, there is nothing ground-breaking about it, but its still got some pretty deadly stuff...of course, there is that whole "haven't they done that bit before" thing but I'm enjoying it.

i really don't know what I'm trying to say.....updates to follow

I like explosions a lot. They sound very similar all the time, but they do write some fantastic tunes..

Not sure about the new album though, First two tracks are incredible but the rest is a bit wishy washy.

i've been listening to it for the last couple of weeks. It's the first record i've heard by them. I really like it. Have they much stuff out?

Bought the new one on Friday but I've not listened to it yet. Love the earth is not a cold dead place but I saw them in San Francisco in November and thought they weren't that great.

 

[ernesto]

saw them with pinback who they werent as good as but still a great live show

 

[Ciarán R]

have seen them three times in smallish venues, and was blown away every time
costellos - limerick (02)
lobby - cork (03)
high stool - limerick (03)
The high stool gig will always be in my top 5 Limerick gigs...

Ahh i missed that High Stool gig cuz i was workin that nite.

New album is really good i think but as was said already its nothing vastly new from them. Got the new Do Make Say Think as well on friday and that's brilliant, a bit more fresh and exciting than the explosions album.

ps That gig was Feb 04 not 03....oops
Lobby gig was also Feb 04...the night before actually

 

[Alan Remorse]

Yeah the lobby and high stool gigs were amazing....
I like the new album, but it's not as good as the others.
People get very irate about this band for some reason.

I saw them in The Hub a few years back and knew nothing about them except for the fact that they had been dubbed 'Godspeed You Sigur Mogwais' by some of the lads but was blown away by them. The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place is probably my favourite Post Rock album of all time.

Does anyone have the soundtrack they did for Friday Night Lights?? Is it worth buying???

I've been looking for it forever but could never find it. I'm stealing it off the web now though.

You're killing the industry you know....


Any chance you could stick it up on rapidshare??

 

[Gambra]

Are there any plans for them to come back this year?
