Nov 10, 2011This double live album/DVD, which includes footage from their final 2008 prehiatus show at London's Alexandra Palace, is masterfully paced.
-
Nov 15, 2011Vincent Morisset directs Inni in a minimalist, enigmatic black and white that captures all of the elegance, somberness and chilling majesty of what might be the most singular and unparalleled band of their generation.
-
Nov 8, 2011Fans who lamented the band's shift will be rewarded, but those drawn to the fuller arrangements might find some songs lacking in splendor.
-
Nov 14, 2011Overall, Inni as a live album is all that fans could ask for: It's respectably captured, fairly mixed and accurately portrays the band's live set in an honest light.
-
MojoJan 11, 2012This assiduously produced package is a thrilling summary of Sigur Ros, the first 14 years. [Dec. 2011 pg. 95]
-
Nov 23, 2011He uses his angelic croon to beckon us to listen to him, sounding so damn desperate. Combine that with the rest of the band's driving, yet ambient build-ups and we have one of our most lovely and earnest records of 2011.
-
MagnetNov 22, 2011Inni takes the listener on a walk through 15 or so years of a robustly lush and sumptuously luxurious ethereal-pop weirdness clashing with colossal waves of noise rock. [#82, p. 60]
-
Nov 16, 2011It's a fitting album that sums up and shines a light on all the things that make/made the band so enthralling.
-
Nov 11, 2011Drawn from all five studio albums, the performances on Inni are raw, they are powerful, and they show this band donning a darker, noisier sonic presence.
-
Nov 10, 2011The music itself is epic, and not in that wanky overblown stadium rock way--epic in the way of glockenspiels and falsettos and cello bow scraping against guitar strings and pounding drums and explosions of piano chords.
-
Nov 4, 2011The beautiful performances captured here, touching on all five studio albums, are more than enough of a reason to seek this out.
-
Nov 16, 2011Thanks to Jónsi's impeccable vocals, a rare falsetto that loses none of its power in a live setting, everything remains indubitably the work of Sigur Rós.
-
Nov 4, 2011Inni--a double live album (plus live DVD)--is a master class in geologically paced, ethereally pretty buildups.
-
Nov 8, 2011Only the nuttiest of fans will find any new details (the more-present backing vocals on Agaetis Byrjun stunner "Svefn-g-englar," or the beefed-up church organ swirl in "Ny Batteri"), even if the band's live majesty is captured in full-force.
