Side B makes me want to die (in a good way)

Incredible album.

Album Rating: 5.0

It's crazy that an album that was released 15 years ago and one that I only discovered 3 months ago resonates so fucking intensely with me and where I am in life right now.

Album Rating: 4.5

I think it's (hopefully) one of those timeless records, it doesn't rely on one particular message or feeling, which is the genius of Sigur Ros in a microcosm. Astoundingly beautiful, subtle, yet accessible to so many people.

Album Rating: 4.5

The first half is pretty conventionally beautiful and accessible, the second half though, not so much, it's dark and tense.

This has grown on me, might actually prefer it to Ágætis byrjun

This and the two albums surrounding it (it's brackets, so to say) are all equally amazing. Can't decide which one is my favorite

Album Rating: 4.5

I've said this before (I think) but the correct order is...

Agaetis Byrjun (5.0) > this (4.8) > Takk (4.5)

They're all a 4.5 for me, maybe a 4.6 if you want to go in tiny steps

Listening to this I can't help but think that music with intentionally gibberish lyrics works particularly well for me for reasons: I guess it's always good to have a human voice as a point of reference (after all, your ears' attention is usually drawn towards the most human sounding thing in the overall picture of the music, even if it's actually an electric guitar or a trumpet), which is the case with albums like these, but at the same time, the words delivered by the vocals don't hold a particular meaning, opinion, view on the world (and it's more or less impossible to write lyrics devoid of a specific way of viewing things and thus possibly creating a distance between the piece of art and the listener who also is an individual with his own perception), and also it ages well because you don't have the feeling that some guy tells you the exact same story for the 100th time when you have listened to the songs a bunch of times. I think it's probably the most defensible way of incorporating vocals into music, yet at the same time it's rarely made use of which is a shame.

tl,dr: Amazing album.

Album Rating: 4.5

I agree, this feels human without lyrical poignancy. Feels magical & almost otherworldly.
