Summary: Awesome
Comment: Simply awesome, more happy songs than a normal Sigur Ros album but still just as mesmorizing.
Customer Rating:
Summary: another masterpiece
Comment: I cannot get enough of Sigur Ros. Every single album since their sophomore effort has been a moody, masterpiece of soundscapes and this one keeps that string going.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Lifts you up , and keeps you there.
Comment: Ok , i am not from ICELAND nor do i understand icelandic language. But music is a universal language. This record firmly keeps 'music' a common food for our soul.
Brilliant ?. YES !. This album takes your mind and heart to places you can only dream about. I love the piano played all through out the album. The catchy riffs , the landscape vibe , the super rich vocals, just everything about this record is superb.
I wish i owned a LP player , they say a record sounds warmer in an LP. If you do have an LP , buy the LP of this record. This music is for the rain. Play it when a rainy afternoon or a chilly evening. You will be warmed up, for certain.

Editorial Reviews:

Sigur Rós--the sound of snow-capped peaks. Or winged things flocking over vast plains. Or salmon making that final courageous, muscular leap upstream, homeward bound. Ever since the BBC so aptly enlisted the help of the band's "Hoppipolla" single to theme the groundbreaking natural history series Planet Earth, the ever-ethereal Icelandic band have become somewhat typecast, finding themselves conducting awe across the backdrops of nearly every other programme in that broad genre. And with that came the danger that all which followed would automatically become an instant cliché. And though their last album Takk saw a slowing of their evolution in favour of solidifying the established sound in accessible earfuls, Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust (which translates as "with a buzz in our ears we play endlessly") sees enough of a stylistic twist to keep things moving, without undercutting this new approachability. Where previously they sounded untouched by human hands, all alien post-rock abstractions, they now sound much more organic, sometimes literally like men playing instruments in a room. Albeit pensively, and extraordinarily. It is a perky record, attentive and exquisite, familiar but not derivative. The rhythmically adventurous "Gobbledigook" reminds of Brooklyn experimentalists Battles, unplugged, the xylophone heavy "Inní Mér Syngur Vitleysingur" is this album's "Hoppipolla" and "Ara Batur" is trembling, lonely and eventually triumphant. "Festival", the album's centrepiece, melds the old and new Sigur Rós dramatically over nine majestic minutes and must number amongst the best moments of their career. -- James Berry
