 Absolutely Stunning.. June 11, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I normally ignore bad posts but comments like Finbar's make me cringe. It obviously takes a minimal level of intelligence to recognize the brilliance behind this band. Even if it's not your style, to label Sigur Ros as 'boring' is the greatest faux pas there is. Okay, I've made my point and he's not worth anymore of my time..
This band's ability to break down social and language barriers and captivate millions of listeners worldwide is a feat in itself. I was totally awestruck since the very first day I heard Agaetis byrjun. And they just keep getting better and better. Probably the most beautifully dark, stunning, gut wrenching track I have ever heard in my long music listening life can be found on this very album. A song without a name - Song No. 8, and justly so because no name would give it justice to live up to the emotion, soul and tension this song exudes. And to hear this song as the finale to their latest concert for their Takk Tour just made it a night to remember. The sheer majestic power and intensity of this band simply cannot be denied!!
An amazing effort from an amazing band..
Good job boys (and girls!)

This is boring, drawn out garbage. If you like pretentious nonsense that goes nowhere, buy it.

please stop reading the reviews and buy this album. words cannot do it justice--as the members of sigur ros recognized also. you need to hear this work of art for yourself. every single track on this album is just everything more than astonishing. i love every single track. i love the keyboards in track one. i love the singing in track two. jonsi your voice is fn breathtaking. i love the keyboards and melodies in track three. i love track four, hands down. i love the eerieness of track five, oh man i love how he sings. i love the ending of track six. beauty. track seven is just...just close your eyes and listen. you will know. and track eight. what to say about track eight? track eight is fn awesome. all of these tracks are amazing. i am not singling any of them out for a standout or any of them for a track of lesser beauty. amazing album. honestly. get this one.
Walking in a Winter Wonderland July 8, 2004

This album reminds me of walking in the blistering cold in the snow. This Icelandic band creates soundscapes that are cold and sterile, yet can bring a tear to your eye. The guitarist likes to use a bow, creating long notes in these slow ballads. Most songs start off soft and slowly build to a huge crescendo. the first 4 tracks are more focused and accessible, the last four are noisier, and rely less on normal melodies. The vocals are in hoplandic i.e. gibberish, but really it is the singer trying to use his voice as any other instrument. Just the sound and inflection are what are important. I think this is the band's best album to date, but all 3 are fantastic.
