"All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone" is the fifth studio album from American post-rock band Explosions in the Sky. It was released February 20, 2007.

Overview

In many ways, the album resembles the band's previous work since it does not deviate from their style of lengthy crescendos and soaring melodies. However, there is more maturity and diversity from track to track. A few songs are dominated by heavy distortion and fierce drumming while other melodies are soft and piano-driven.

Many speculate the album is a direct reference to The Catcher In The Rye by J. D. Salinger. The album title, "All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone" is a summarization to the conclusion of The Catcher In The Rye in which the main character Holden advises the reader "Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody." The song titles of the album make allusions to the many themes in the novel having to do with the normality of fear, lack of social stability or place in society, emotional discord, and loneliness.

The album artwork is again by Esteban Rey.

The album took two years to record. Fact|date=December 2007 and debuted on the Billboard 200 at number 76, selling 11,000 copies in its first week on the chart.

The double vinyl version of this album came in two versions, a standard edition on black vinyl and a limited edition version (limited to 2000 copies) on white and green marble vinyl. This latter was sold exclusively on the Temporary Residence Limited web store and with the band on tour.
