"Listen up, you fuckers. I don't care if Adam Downer is saying Radiohead are dead, or you miss the art-rock of OK Computer, or the experimentation of Kid A; none of that matters. Radiohead has made their best record in years, and that's all that matters. This is the sound of Radiohead at their best, letting go of pretense, coming down to Earth. And it is a near-flawless record, only fueled by Radiohead's imagination."
yeah so pretty much replace all the radiohead terminology with sigur ros/jonsi terminology

So apparently this is the album thats making everyone question if everything Jonsi touches turns into gold. Well I guess I'm in the minority here but my opinuin is that this is one of the best minimalist/ambient records since Stars Of The Lid's opus And Their Refinement Of The Decline which is record that Riceboy Sleeps draws a lot of comparisons from. It must be said that not everyone who likes Sigur Ros will like this, for this definatly is not a Sigur Ros record, the only comparison I can think of is that the album's highlight Indian Summer contains a beauty that reminds me alot of everyone's favorite Sigur Ros piece Untitled 3. Very textured, yet raw with artist expression, Jonsi and Alex's Riceboy Sleeps is basically the basically the musical equivalent to a picture being painted.

Conjures up some excellent imagery in my brain. Great acoustic ambient music. Happiness is one of the best songs of the year.
