Spin (p.94) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "This Austin, Texas instrumental combo writes lurching, crashing rock exaltations that are a joy to absorb..." Entertainment Weekly (p.99) - "[T]he band runs through intricately nuanced compositions with the fervor of an inspired jam session." -- Grade: A- Q (p.118) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Explosions In The Sky have built a reputation for artfully crafted instrumental epics underpinned by layered crescendos..." Uncut (p.79) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Their vast, quasi-classical-cum-post-rock symphonies possess a dramatic, crystalline beauty..." Alternative Press (p.180) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[They] wrestle down the lightning-spirit of loneliness, yearning and hop and cram it onto tape-adding generous helpings of delay and reverb for good measure along the way." Magnet (p.97) - "[A] masterpiece that flows brilliantly, shifting dynamics with the drop of a guitar pick, covering the full range of emotions and somehow coming back to rest in peaceful, meditative resolution." CMJ (p.40) - "These tracks are intended to be as ambitious as they are heart-wrenching, and in their experimentation they've come close to classical or jazz's freedom..." Kerrang (Magazine) (p.49) - "[With] symphonic slabs of celestial sound akin to Mogwai -- all foreboding lulls and dramatic crescendos."
