    On amazon a listener claims this is the album that made him finally "get" Sigur Ros. While converting new fans, this may be the album that makes the faithful turn their backs on the band. Every track is a muddle of sameness. Where ethereal vocals were once used sparingly, now they are foregrounded and overused. The gloom, as many critics note, is clearly gone.

It is shrill, bordering on parodic, and worse of all: BORING.… Expand

    IF you like ENYA, guys who compose music with synths and dudes who think its clever to sing like they have an overload of estrogen, but without the energy-you’ll love this stuff.

Its just soundscapes composed on a synth that you or I could make had we a couple of Roland synths. Pretentious, artsy-fartsy and utterly lifeless. Good stuff for those of you who like to think you’re just a little bit more sophisticated than your average music listener. DOA.… Expand
