"They are in fact so special that I don't even know where to begin. Shimmering guitars, bombastic drums, pretty washes of distortion: there are a limited number of adjectives and nouns that I can use to describe this sort of music, and one of my major regrets is that I've wasted them on all releases of a lesser caliber. Seniority cedes the Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, and Caspian to other writers, often leaving me to sift through the dregs, and I guess I never thought I'd get a CD of such merit all to myself. So now that I'm faced with the opportunity to critique what I feel to be one of the strongest releases of 2008, I'm beset with a writer's block of the worst sort. I can't think of any way to tackle The Lights We Shed Shall Burn Your Eyes except to filter it through my own subjective lens."
