This band is amazing. I'd have to say that this is my least favorite of their full length cds because it features two of my least favorite songs but it's still a very good record with very talented artists.

If you have discovered Rilo Kiley in the time since they signed to a Major Label and released 'Under the Blacklight' and have only heard that album (or its predecessor, 'More Adventurous'), do yourself a favor and give them another chance ^_^ with this, their most inspired album.

'The Execution of All Things' is Rilo Kiley in their most concentrated form to date and exhibits all of the characteristics that make for an interesting musical journey.

Behind the catchy melodies are song structures and intelligent lyrics that are not too commonplace as to become tired or boring on multiple listens.

This is really an ALBUM which is meant to be listened to from beginning to end.

With so few releases in our current musical climate that are totally listenable throughout, 'Execution' delivers. Although many will cite 'A Better Son / Daughter' or perhaps 'Spectacular Views' as standout tracks, there _is not_ a weak track in my opinion. 10 out of 10.

i love this album. the EP is worth it as well. Emotional rocks.

Apparently, this album has a cult following, and they all like to write reviews! I suppose it works as background music, but not much more. I realize art appreciation is highly subjective and, clearly, this music has made a strong impression on some. To me, though, the album comes off as pretentious. Then again, if you hear deep truths in it, more power to you.

As a new fan of Rilo Kiley I listen to this CD every day and still find it new and fresh. Great Lyrics. Enjoy.
