...clichéd line is never uttered, but without listening very carefully, you can hear its echo throughout Friday Night Lights: In Odessa, football is a way of life. And, as is quickly shown, it is the only way of life for residents of this small Texas town, where state champions become legends and those who fall short become mere pariahs rejected even within their own families. Though American society worships successful professional athletes, the cult following earned by 17-year old high school seniors is for the most part less widespread. Director and co-writer Peter Berg rightly devotes...
This long composition is followed by the album’s shortest tracks, which again show this rapid shifting of genres: “TRAS3,” containing heavily echoed psych guitars that with a little more echo could potentially be the moody background to a Tool song, puts the listener into a reverie which is startlingly succeeded by the immediate kick of loud and upbeat drums starting “IPT2,” which makes use of numerous heavily-effected guitar and synths, and ends after 1:49, right when it leads the listener to believe...

...mourning Phish-head much more easily than someone who’s into, say, the Dismemberment Plan. The songs are long, and the songs are slow. Guitar solos, like that in the last three minutes of “Wedding Song”—a musical echo of Palace Music’s “Marriage,” albeit three times as long—keen deep into the later minutes of tracks, which seem to have a hard time ending; most simply fade out over the instrumentation or have all instruments hit a staccato last...
