[edit] Overview

The album continues the patterns of the previous albums, with brooding, ominous melodies building into crashing climaxes. It has generally received positive reviews from the public, with a rating of 85%--or Universal Acclaim--at Metacritic.

From an interview on "Slice of the shiny" Munaf said The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place was EITS's "attempt at love songs" [1]

"Your Hand In Mine" was adapted for inclusion in the Friday Night Lights soundtrack, along with other original material written for the movie. The song was shortened from its album length of over eight minutes to just over four, and was embellished with string accompaniment.
