 Why I Loved this Album August 26, 2008
There's nothing more that can be said about this album but it's one that has stayed with me since it was released. It's a definite fall-back on for comfort album.
I bought it right when it came out and my Isis boner was going way way stronger than it is now, so it was natural I'd look up the side project. I popped it in and the first 3 minutes hooked me in. Once the cascading, spiraling, ever throbbing guitars branched apart and slowed down into quieter, but just as atmospheric parts, I knew I could fall asleep to it. I crawled into bed and finished out the CD with my eyes closed. I couldn't sleep for hours, and I had to just listen over and over until I felt weary enough to bed.
Every second gives you something to explore, and having listened to it under a variety of different circumstances it affords new meanings and pleasure each time, even still I find something new. This album's been playing when I've made 1000 mile car journeys, rousing times on LSD and mushrooms, stoned adventures through space from a dark room, cycling around Lake Tahoe, the end of drunken evenings, any night I cannot sleep this CD will go on, and especially through airports and planeflights. Every listen holds a new dimension.
Simply beautiful, my heart pounds and dick throbs whenever a song of theirs comes on. The first album is just as awesome as well. Hell yes, my friend.
 Good Music July 31, 2008
This CD is a very good demonstration of good music. It does not fall into any specific genre and because of this, it's easy listening for many people of all ages.
beautiful and complex post-rock February 16, 2008
this album is amazingly lyrical despite not having any lyrics -- the song titles give each song just enough of a frame to let the listener fill in the details, and every song paints a complex swirl of emotion that rewards repeated listening. it's a work of art with a heartbeat.
 Suprisingly repetitive! October 1, 2007

I was so excitied to hear that Red Sparrowes had a new full length offering. The first RS album, At the Soundless Dawn (easily one of my favorite top albums ever), was so full of depth, layering, moods, swells, builds, hooks and transitions, that I really had high expectations of what the next level of music this collective could pull off. Unfortunatly, Every Red Heart Shines Toward the Red Sun, seem to have blown all the good stuff on the first album, and this comes off sounding closer to a "tracks that didn't quite make it for the first album" feel. The first song starts off with this charged baseline and busts into a promising song that is a strong lead, but that's as far as it goes, the rest feels uninspired, repetative in a way that's boring. The previous AtSD swells and builds are minimal at best here and the majority of it quickly becomes backround music instead of holding my attention and moving my listening attenion in all kinds of directions. The the great concept feel of the first album with well thought out transitions is lacking here and many of the songs just fall flat dead at the end. The subtle sounds through out this album are too subtle and there is hardly a memorable track here. So sad a transition from the first which had such variety and captive presense.
Perhaps the creativity will return on other offerings, but this one gets little play.
An Instant Classic. August 14, 2007
This album has been reviewed in depth already. I have to agree, this is a tremendous album. It was rumored in 2006 that post-rock was becoming extinct. Releases were starting to become overwhelmingly variants of the same thing. Personally, I was starting to lose interest. A year later, post-rock is not dead, but starting to evolve. But before there was any hint of this though, one band released an album which was instantly the pinnacle of decades of experimentation. The Red Sparowes were back, and this time, with a much more serious sound. This release isn't for everyone. Even fans of post-rock may find it dry or monotonous. It's not a fun, upbeat album with 3-minute radio-friendly songs. However, what it does display is amazing song writing -- something that's growing more and more uncommon these days. If you like this quality in music and you're a fan of post-rock, you should check this out. Don't expect to be blown away by your first listen. This is a deep, epic album with a dreary tone. Stunning, melancholy music which tells a sorrowful story without any lyrics. It's an instant classic.
