I didn't like the album as much as The Earth Is... or Those Who Tell The Truth, but Birth and Death of the Day off Explosions in the Sky's newest album is an amazing opener. With a lot of post-rock you expect the opening song to build into a powerful ending, but this one hits you right from the beginning. Kind of blew me away the first time I heard it.

I like Intro from Da Drought 3. I like how Wayne uses a Jamaican accent. I wouldn't say Great, though, but good.
