Mar 19, 2012Besides their fellow Icelander Björk, Sigur Rós has innovated and redefined the boundaries and borders or music. Sigur Rós' latest album packs all the energy and exuberance their biggest fans can excite to. Stand-out tracks are the opener "Gobbledigook" and epic "Festival."

Oct 24, 2011Or With a Buzz in Our Ears We Play Endlessly for those not speaking Icelandic. The album number 5 by the Gwyneth-Paltrow-approved post-rockers kicks off with fantastic **** one of their best singles ever, an ode to life as it is. Innà mér syngur vitleysingur is also charming but this is not enough to call Með suðâ

KevinJJul 24, 2009Very beautifully made album. Gobbliedook is very nice uppety sound. and as the album continues is decreases in enthusiasm and almost becomes boring. but nonetheless, it's very nice to listen to.

MattA.Aug 7, 2008This album is gorgeous. A departure for sure, but it works. I agree with coke machine glow that the first two songs are the best, but I disagree that the album goes south after that. Not as strong as their classic Agaetis, but I would rate it over both Takk and.

PeachMedJul 23, 2008The first 2 songs are great, but then the album becomes a boring and meaningless parodie of themselves. sad to say, but this is lp is kust a big disappointment.

RobbieCJul 16, 2008Unbelievable! This is the same band? I say that so rarely; this something very special, though I don't know what!

BrandonA.Jul 3, 2008Not fair to compare it to other Sigur Ros works. this album is beautiful and brilliant...and shows that the boys from Iceland still make music that is way beyond what other artists and musicians are doing.

DerSJun 26, 2008Another amazing album for Sigur Ros. The first couple of tracks break the mold in a very satisfying way - my reaction was "Wow!" The rest of the album is similar to their other work - without being repetitive or derivative. Excellent!

JimboJun 25, 2008This is Sigur Ros stripped down, bare, with probably the most human and deeply honest record they've ever made, and it's one of their best.

jayJun 25, 2008The music they make is always beautiful and this one more so with a sunnier focus than before. All Allright in english should have been more focussed with that language...seems to shy away from the words where they should be stronger rather than fragile...

TylerD.Jun 25, 2008Stunning in every respect. From the happy-go-lucky Gobbledigook to the heart-wrenchingly beautiful Ára bátur, Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust shines.

samiJun 25, 2008This albums sounds less experimental and more vibrant han the previous ones. I love Sigur Ros, and I think all his albums are eternal records, and his voice feels like the ice of volcanoes if iceland.

JaorgeB.Jun 25, 2008Another epic Sigur Ros album. Think Takk, with more Hoppipolla-esque songs. The last half of the record is slow, and although one of the songs is in English, I can only decipher a few words here and there. Nonetheless, this is probably going to be my favorite Sigur Ros album to date.

Kuang-c.Jun 25, 2008That's great album this year.

RobJun 25, 2008No matter what you think Sigur Rós are about, should be or can be, as a stand alone piece of music this is majestic and beautiful

SaulB.Jun 25, 2008Really quite amazing... I thought after I heard Goobledeegook things had gone wrong... then came the rest of the album. Nothing short of beautiful.

VincentJun 25, 2008This band never fails to surprise with the standard of music even if it does wander little from the band's delightful template. It truly is one of the very best bands of our times. If you can't see the beauty on offer here, then you may not actually be alive. Long live Jonsi and co. Beautiful!

FabrizioG.Jun 24, 2008it keeps the line that Takk.. showed, but it has some changes that are positive, which remarks band's seek for new sounds. They've done a very good job at that, mixing new sounds that even can bother their most loyal fans... but i think they still have their seal, which is just unique.

AidenN.Jun 24, 2008This is the 2nd best album from them.

So Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust is just another Sigur Ros album, but if I can be the first to say it, our "first vital band of the 21st century" is starting to feel old hat.
-
On Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust you can really hear the human hearts behind the wall of sound, and while the emotional impact is on a smaller scale, somehow it is even more affecting.

Once, this band were making music to stare skywards to, to contemplate the vastness of the universe we’re such a tiny part of; now they’ve discovered a hidden reserve of human spirit, sucked it in and produced a record that will reconnect their wealth of talents to listeners fearing they’d forgotten how they’d ever reached such a lofty pedestal. It’s great to have them back.
