Agreed w/ Lambo. Kveikur is excellent all the way through but the first three tracks are the highlights.

t/t is great but not on the same level as the first three songs imo. and they kinda lose me during the final three songs.

Rafstraumur is excellent though, just as good as the uplifting, high-energy tracks from Takk and Med.

It’s been soooo long since I jammed one of their albums front to back. I really need to change that. This band is GOAT.

According to my last.fm profile Sigur Ros are my most played artist of the past year, seeing as I rediscovered them earlier in 2018 and had almost forgotten how amazing they were. I had to bump up my ratings for this, (), and Kveikur recently given how into those albums, and med and Valtari too, I got into recently.

Agreed, I like the icy, ambient direction they went for Valtari.

Valtari is definitely underrated. Not a fan of Von though, lacks focus & any sense of cohesion for me.

I like a lot of Von and appreciate how sprawling and ambitious it is. I also like weird soundscapes and field recordings in general so it appeals to me, but a lot of Von does drag on and feels aimless in places. Their weakest full-length but still solid.

Staring Elf, Good Weather for an Airstrike, Olsen, Olsen, and the title track are phenomenal. I don't always know how to feel about the middle three songs, but they're very interesting and I like them a lot for sure.

I've listened to other Sigur Ros albums before, but my first listen to this one blew me away.
