If you haven't had the pleasure, I strongly recommend you check this band out if you are at all into Mogwai, GYBE! or Sigur Ros. Their latest, Earth is not a Cold Dead Place, is my favorite non-electonic album of this young century. Absolutely brilliant work. I don't think music can get anymore more moving than this. The first track on their previous album, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever, features the most intense guitar riff I've ever heard.
Pimping complete.

Hmmmm.... never really understood the hype... both their albums can't hold a candle up to godspeed or sigur ros IMO. I was waiting for them to 'click', but realised I just don't think they're very good. :s

i agree. i gave them a go, but i don't think they are of the same standard. i found their music a bit boring really.

lift your skinny fists like antennas to heaven is my favorite Godspeed record. they are certainly two of the best to come out in recent years.

Explosions in the Sky and Sigur Ros are my favourite live bands, they are amazing.

Cool band, I get a nice, positive, uplifting feeling from their music and themes that I don't get when I listen to some of their peers. They make-a me feel gewd.

nothing can top "lift your skinny fists.." ..but explosions in the sky are a very good band. very good live.. their tracks are like highly concentrated nice melodies..

"highly concentrated nice melodies" that's a good way to describe them. i think that's the main reason i listen to them more than GSYBE. they're not necessarily better. but i find that i listen to 80% of the music i do in the car. on shorter drives i like the music to really kick in immediately as Explosions in the Sky songs tend to do, while GSYBE's music tends to feature slower build-ups.
quibble, quibble. they're both excellent bands. i hope i get to see them live someday. Godspeed didn't tour Seattle in support of Yanqui UXO and i was out of town when Explosions played.

My cat likes to chew on my ear. It tickles. I like bologna sandwiches.

i've tried listening to them a couple of times because of all the comparisons with gy!be and sigur ros, but frankly i didn't like it at all. ophecks nailed it: i dislike them for the reasons he likes them.

That pseudo-march bullshit the drummer does annoys the piss out of me.
I didn't care for them.
