My favorite EitS album is "All Of A Sudden...", followed by "The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place".
I loved the piano piece on All Of A Sudden so much, I don't understand why they couldn't have done more of it on the album. Seriously, Who Do You Go Home To? and So Long, Lonesome might be one of the best songs they have ever made.
They're definitely my favorite post-rock groups. Also up there is Mono.
EDIT: As much as I like TWTTSD, I prefer their more hopeful music, as in what they've been doing the past few years. They're really one of the only cheerful/hopeful post-rock bands I know.
