One of the best live bands out there. This is a great way to experience a Sigur Ros show if you've never been.
The mix is very clear and raw sounding. Makes you feel like you're there. Includes a new instrumental song
and the rest of the set that didn't make it on the DVD.

Listening diary 13th April, 2022: Sigur Rós - Inni (post-rock, 2011)
I'm gonna be honest, seeing Sigur Rós live didn't totally blow me away. I learned since then
not to have inflated expectations for artists that feel like they should be good live,
because it was a serviceable show in a soulless arena, but I definitely set myself up
expecting something miraculous. And so, I avoided this for a while, for similar reasons - and
perhaps that was a mistake, because this is good enough to be their only major live album.
The use of bowed guitar really stood out to me when I saw them, and this does a great job of
showcasing how much they can do tonally just with one peculiarly played instrument. It
honestly amazes me that more artists don't do it, because this is practically carried by it.
It's a great setlist too, with most of the classics that you know but can't remember the
names of, and even some of the ones that I didn't really care that much for before, like
'Hafs'l' actually come out of this with increased stock. It's not mindblowing, as you might
hope it to be, but it's a decent summary of their catalogue at this point, and what more can
you want from a live album?
8.8 (4th listen)

Unimpressed with the choice of songs - closing the show with E-Bow and then Popplagið slowed the tone so badly after a great start. And how many times do we have to hear Popplagið live before we start to get annoyed at its inclusion into their setlist? They're really pushing that song to breaking point now.
It pains me to be negative about Sigur Ros as they are such a special band, and it is a reasonably good album that is very well mixed, but in the same style as Stop Making Sense, the crowd noise and acoustic ambience have been almost entirely removed; you might as well listen to the studio versions of these songs.
