Jun 26, 2013For my US ear that still sounds fresh even having heard like 5 hrs of it already. I'm glad they still use Icelandic (or whatev it is) and that might be the reason.

Jun 18, 2013I like bands that take a few chances and Sigur has without question done that with this album .
A little mix of black metal with their signature sound makes for an interesting listen and for what
i believe is their best album since their early years. -

Jun 18, 2013Far and away the most intense of any Sigur Rós album. Huge climaxes swoop in, and just wash over the ears. Very thick and rich and infinitely rewarding. This ranks among the group's best work.

Jul 29, 2013Kveikur is the band’s noisiest and most muscular record yet. The variety of experience it offers not just from Valtari, but from the band’s entire catalogue, means that it stands among their best.

MagnetJul 17, 2013It sounds like a band getting down to business, adjusting its identity to account for downsizing while consolidating its many strengths. [No. 100, p.51]

Jul 3, 2013Kveikur is a strong album, one with no low-lights and an intriguing progression of sound.
