Another superb album from the instrumental gurus. This is an album that grows on you, unlike their previous albums which hit you immediately and hit you hard. A more mature, precise, and varied sound may seem good, but to fans of the band's earlier work, these songs are often overlooked, despite their independent beauty. Overall, it is quite the record, with a powerful punch in some songs, and a calming melody in others.

Emotion with no words. Simply beautiful.

How can people possibly say this album is boring and praise the new Arcade Fire (good, but infinitely more boring)? This is truly passionate, exciting music by a band that has broken away from convention and created their own style, their own "voice". They don't just begin the album with the burst in "The Birth and Death of the Day", but carry that energy throughout the album in a variety of intricate and beautiful passages, whether the dynamic be soft or loud. Quit holding and opinion and looking for something and just enjoy the music. It will find you.

There is nothing like a winning formula for a band and that is what EITS had for a long time. There guitar heavy post rock was leading for a while in a genre that is essencially past its peak. However on this album it sounds dated and over used and the band would be much better off forcing their musical minds in different directions to keep things a little fresh instead of stale as this sound has become!! Lets hope they do this on the next outing!!

I agree this album is amazing. if you listen to the first song and how it explodes into a beautiful song into a galloping like fun jam. This band has so much talent that isnt relized by much people. this album is one of their best and shouldnt be rated low at all.

I cannot believe the low scores this is receiving from old fans and new fans alike. This is their best record and the buildups carry more tenderness than you think. It's not all the same, and especially "What Do You Go Home To?" The remixes are excellent too, a nice Sunday morning listen (at a lower volume I might add). For the naysayers.....listen again and again and your review score will rise!

every single eits track has the same principle of build up and release and honestly, it is becoming a little tired now
