I think this album is somewhere between a 4 and a 5. Not quite outstanding, but close.Here's what I liked about this album:#1. I'd call this cd a combination of what we heard on the Friday Night Lights soundtrack and what EITS put out on their other two albums. The crescendo isn't quite as apparent and is distinctly different in the way the band approaches it.#2. I had never laughed when I heard a song before from sheer giddiness until I heard Magic Hours. WOW! One of the most sensational instrumental riffs I've ever heard. The closing segments of the song were amazing. As good as anything EITS have done before.#3. A Song for Our Fathers: very dynamic work. One of the better EITS songs I've heard. It's almost otherworldly. This, along with Magic Hours, would be perfect songs for s score if they ever made a film about the apocalypse.All in all, a very good album. Well worth buying.
