I bought this album around 2003 after being turned on to the band by an Internet friend, it was my first album of theirs to buy. Since then, this album has become my favorite Rilo Kiley album, and probably my favorite album in general. Most of the songs resonate with me either personally, or as though they are about important people in my life. Even the songs that don't speak to me still sound great and are fun to listen to. I think the only thing I don't like about it is the cover art.

CD cover.

The Execution of All Things is the second full-length studio album by Rilo Kiley. It was released on 2002-10-01 on CD and produced by Mike Mogis and published by Saddle Creek. The album has an overall sound which could be described as indie pop rock. Many of the song on the album deal with depressing topics like break-ups, being taken advantage of, depression, parental divorce, self-loathing, bad family life, and death. However, there are a few cheerful songs as well which warm up the mood. Overall, it is a very introspective album.

The song listed as track 12, "And That's How I Choose to Remember It," is not actually track 12. Instead, it's broken up into three sections and played at the end of three different songs throughout the album. This is an interesting artistic decision which gives the album a certain cohesion, but it requires you to have to manually cut apart the songs if you want to listen to songs as individual tracks.

I bought this album around 2003 after being turned on to the band by an Internet friend, it was my first album of theirs to buy. Since then, this album has become my favorite Rilo Kiley album, and probably my favorite album in general. Most of the songs resonate with me either personally, or as though they are about important people in my life. Even the songs that don't speak to me still sound great and are fun to listen to. I think the only thing I don't like about it is the cover art.
