The very, very distinctive Icelandic band generated an enormous amount of positive press (and deservingly so) for their previous effort, 'Ágætis Byrjun,' which led to a major-label deal and this album, which, like each of its eight tracks, does not have a real title.

As others have already expressed, words cannot serve as measure in talking about this album. The album literally gets better with every listen, like a fine wine, whose complexity still surprises ones palette after many tastes. From the ethereal beauty of Untitled #1 to Raging finale of Untitled #8 this album will invoke the deepest of feelings of out its listener. One the greatest albums ever made.

This 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.

A different world where darkness and light, silence and noise, happiness and sadness collide. two brackets tell you everything.

Those of you owning this album, keep it safe, 'cause there's none and there will most probably be no other like it and sooner or later you will realize this. It's music straight from and to the heart and soul. It's beautifull, moving, captivating and makes me cry every time I listen to it. I really cannot understand those arguing SR sound either pretendius or boring. IMO, their sound is intimate, clean and trustfully honest. There's is not a single moment in the whole album I will cut out. Also, there's nothing that will interpose between you and the music; no lyrics, no track names and no words you can understand, just you and the music. There are very few albums out there that can accomplish what this album does brilliantly, to touch you so deeply. Actually, you're buying something you can't buy and you won't forget. So, for me, this is just perfect.

I 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 :)
