Explosions in The Sky exists as one of the most well-known post rock artists for a reason. They are certainly one of the easiest bands in the genre to get into due to their endless beauty, accessibility and the fact that they have yet to make a bad album. However, that doesn't mean that the band has been remarkably consistent in their efforts either...
