Perfect.

But, like everyone else, I also agree that the first few tracks are the best.

Thinking back on it, this album was a grower for me. It was good, and the more "interesting" parts became less just artsy stuff, and became amazing fusions of great music.

Svefn-g-englar, Ny Batteri, Viorar Vel Til Loftarasa, Agaetis Byrjun, ...

You know what, I like this one A LOT.

(not the best icelandic album I have heard though...)

Staralfur is a work of pure wonderment. Still, this album doesn't come close to ( ) for me.

The first few tracks (besides the intro) are amazing, the rest is decent.

Olsen Olsen and the Title Track are fantastic.

Hard to believe this record is already fourteen years old. Still just as magnificent.

A masterpiece, Sigur Ros haven't come close to repeating this yet.

Staraflur is achingly beautiful.

The album that introduced me to the band. Awesome... I actually still haven't gotten past it ashamedly.

I love how they fused electronic, rock, jazz, orchestral arrangements all into this amazing album.
