Dec 10, 2012Normally I'm not the type of guy for such short reviews, but this album is simply EPIC.

Aug 5, 2014This record is one of the best ever done. It is unique, as every Sigur Rós's album. It is incredible, one of the most moving albums of contemporary music.

KonstantinosA.Nov 1, 2002Although in essence it's "Agaetis Byrjun, Part 2" it is one of the best albums of the last 2 years... Spectacular!

duanesNov 22, 2002an amazing symphony of emotion, 8 movemnts which together take you on a 72-minute ride that leaves you exhausted and yet exhillerated. my favorite album of 2002, hands down.

slammyNov 5, 2002If this were the first album I had heard by Sigur Ros, I might be more impressed. In comparison to the high quality and adventurousness of their first 2 albums though, ( ) feels like a step backward.

DavidSDec 5, 2002Interesting, but over-rated mood music, hard on the ears at times, more flashy and clever than truly moving. Too precious.

PanosKJul 9, 2009It's a good album, but not as good as their previous one. It's still intriguing at times but the no-name-thing often becomes hard to bear.

DadosJun 4, 2008This is an album where happiness and sadness, melody and noise, darkness and light collide. two brackets tell you everything. i suggest you name the tracks as you feel. that way the album becomes even more intimate.

ChrisMOct 13, 2006this album evinces feelings of beauty and boredom, sometimes simultaneously. the closing tracks really drag and seem kind of fractious, but the opening songs are monumentally gorgeous. great study music.

ColinBOct 20, 2006This album is absolutely amazing. I actually feel quite sorry for the people who can't appreciate it. It is seep and it is moving and if you can't feel it then... I first heard it when I was sober but if you listen to it when you are stoned and switch all the lights off in the room and just lie there it's like nothing you've ever experienced before.

JuliaAFeb 14, 2007I like this band so much...but apparently I can't get this album wholly.This album felt like they just roam in one soundscape and going nowhere. But of course, Jonsi could do no wrong with his voice :)

An overblown, overhyped dreamy swirl of sound that can't commit itself to being anything.
-
A decent follow-up from a band who has already proven themselves capable of much, much more.

BlenderCharming and enrapturing, adrift in its own unique, invented world. [#11, p.142]
