  1. It is undeniable that they can produce beautiful sounds with their equipment, it's just that they do not seem to be able to orchestrate it to any purpose afterwards.
  2. Takk... is in no way a departure for the band, and it's easy to forget that though the music is very different from most of what's out there, we've heard it from Sigur Rós before.

    The cohesion that made their previous records so captivating has been significantly diminished. [Dec 2005, p.204]

    A beautifully moving album, it soundscape music with heart and emotion. Like () was after Agaetis byrjun another change in direction although A beautifully moving album, it soundscape music with heart and emotion. Like () was after Agaetis byrjun another change in direction although still Sigur Ros this albums song certainly have more structure than () but that is no bad thing. Everytime i listen too the CD i have a new favourite and its more upbeat nature makes an excellent listen in the car. Sublime,peacefull, melancholic, crashing, noise, uplifting, enchanting, all words that can sum up this album and there are so many other!!! Album of the year an i doubt anything will beat it.
