Survey
The band came up with the album in the media, as the liner notes of the album, the image of an airplane and the sentence " This plane will crash tomorrow" ( in the original: This Plane Will Crash Tomorrow ) include. The rumor went around that the album was released on September 10, 2001 - one day before the attacks on 11 September 2001, however, the album was released in August. . An interview with the band in Stylus Magazine testifies that the band had the ideas and the artwork for the liner notes a year before the attacks.
The song " Have You Passed Through This Night? " is one of the first songs by Explosions in the Sky, which contains words. This is a sample from the film The Thin Red Line (1998).
The song title " With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept " (Eng.: With tired eyes, tired minds, tired souls we slept ) later became an episode title for an episode in the third season of the American television series One Tree Hill.
The cover of the album, a painting by David Logan, was inspired by the legend of the Angels of Mons. This Angel of Mons should have protected British troops in World War I at the Battle of Mons.
