Simply stunning. I sat and stared through the dancing, colorful movements sweeping across the screen as the music transported me through time; both physically and poetically. Memories. Memories of love lost, of happy days under the sun, of my mother and father holding my hand, of my first experience of the absurd, of longing for union with the expansive truths of the universe. Memories of things which have yet to occur. Visions of the past unspooled before me like great chasms; my heart swelled and sank, ebbed and flowed. I cried, softly, happily, gratefully, humbly, as "Postcard From 1952" stole me away to a particular place in history, situated somewhere between my imagination and infinity. A place of purity, innocence, and warmth. This is, without a doubt, the best album of the year. Explosions In The Sky have truly outdone themselves, and created the best album of their career. Listen to this alone. If you have any affection for the beauty, wonder, sublimity, and sheer awe that is life itself, you shall love this record. A man can be rich, if he has love in his heart. Take care, take care, take care.

All the production and vocal samples in the world can't hide the fact that this is still just another Explosion
in the Sky album. Fortunately, I really like Explosion In The Sky albums.

Explosions In The Sky has become the stereotypical post-rock band. Many feel that they embody everything that is wrong with post-rock i.e. stagnant songwriting, long-windedness, and an air of irritating pretentiousness. Make no mistake, that is often true of many post-rock bands, but when it comes to EITS, it is different. Different, of course, because they do this formula better than anyone else. Is anything new explored on this album? Not really. Is that a bad thing? Not when it is this well done. Take the subtle ambience of "Human Qualities", or the strange catchiness of the main riff of "Postcard From 1952", or the somber, happy-under-stress emotion of "Let Me Back In". These moments are anything but derivative. True, the overall musicianship, style, and formula remains very similar, but the things are easy to overlook if the music is well done and passionate, something this record definitely accomplishes.

It's more of the same, but when the same is as pretty and effective as Explosions In the Sky, why wouldn't we want more of it?

Quiet and strange, Take Care, Take Care, Take Care follows the novel sound that has been with Explosions in the Sky for so long, but it seems to be running out of steam here with noise and no real sense of direction.

Probably Explosions' weakest album to date, but Postcard from 1952 is still more than worthwhile

Boring. Very, very boring. Put this on in the background and never caught my attention even once.

Good, but I'd much rather have had an extension and evolution of the emotion in Cold Dead Place. I'm left with an aching feeling of wanting more from this.

No big changes, more of the same, but the same is still good and I'm not bored of it yet.

decent, but below their average work. it still has its EITS features, which make them a good listen. still kinda "been there, done that" case here, so not great, but not bad either.

It's pretty good, although *sometimes* it sounds like Cold Dead Place pt. 2. Overall though, its a great listen.

Same shit different album. A bit darker and mellow, but ultimately they haven't changed a damn thing in regards to songwriting. Got better after I let it sink in a bit, but damn EitS....
