Its like the first time i heard King Crimson's 21 century schizoid man, i was like fuuuccckkk did Mars Volta ever rip this song off, but they spread little bits of that song out throughout their entire discography so took me a while to figure that out... all i knew was it sounded quite familiar

That is just a complete load of trash, sorry

Listening to it now and I guess maybe I get what you mean - the track's more reminiscent of the darker moodiness of their early work, but I don't see why that would annoy you? The band kind of sounds like something they've released in the past - how is that a problem?

Album Rating: 5.0

"some of the tracks are really good and pleasant only because Sigur Ros has a pleasant sound - they don't have a ton of depth or really anything to elevate them beyond simple charming tracks... there are a few tracks that ride completely on Sigur Ros's charm without even attempting to be anything bigger."



You just summed up Valtari perfectly

Album Rating: 4.0

I get what you mean, but for me there were a ton of subtle melodies and moods in the layers of Valtari

that took awhile for me to really connect with, and I ended up liking the album a lot more because of

how it grew on me, whereas the immediacy of this album doesn't allow for that.

Best since Takk easily.

I really enjoyed this.

you guys are gonna think i'm retarded (you probably already do) but Var actually reminded me of a Radiohead song "videotape", i guess i thought it sounded like it could have been a sigur ros song, my bad

Valtari is as deep as Agaetis in terms of layers and melody. The only tracks that don't really are Varðeldur and Valtari

Album Rating: 3.5

love the first few songs and the closer but some in the middle are a bit meh to me. not bad - just meh. I thought of Videotape too at first upon hearing Var ^

"Best since Takk easily.

I really enjoyed this."



Exactly the same thing that I thought, it is actually a really impressive album, after Valtari (I didn't quite enjoyed it, personally) and Kjartan leaving the group I thought they would not release a great album again. I was wrong.

Valtari was cool but it's pretty much the opposite of this. their change in sound has been really successful

haven't liked a sigur ros album as much as this this for ages
