Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.8/100, a mean average of 80.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

I'm seventeen, and I've cried four times in the last five years that I can remember. Twice was over girlfriend stuff, once was when my dog died, and once was the first time I heard Glosoli.
Tough to decide if this is better than Agaetis Byrjun. This album feels much more consistant, soaring and piano led, but rarely hits the heights Agaetis Byrjun gets from moments like the repeated "bongs" on Svefn-g-englar or the strings and horn arrangements in Staraflur - but Takk is short(er) and sweet. It feel like the honest, no-nonsense little brother.
It also has Hoppipolla going for it, which may well be Sigur Ros' finest effort. Milano is just as epic with it's crashing chorus and wails from Jonsi.
Incredible all the way through, one of my all time favourites. Sigur Ros somehow manages to sound big, larger than life without becoming the least bit pretentious.
With Agaetis in regular rotation, it's easy to forget this one is a worthy imitator. Just dug it out for the first time in years. Divine.
Hoppípolla is the most beautiful song ever
Musically, this album is so beautiful and it just creates this real feeling of pureness and something completely innocent. This group is one of the only artists that conjure up that feeling on almost every one of their releases but it most evident on here and Agaetis Byrjun. The lush string and piano arrangements can move even the toughest person and make them feel things they haven't felt in years. It is astonishing the things that this group can do with instruments and a vocal and listening to this record really makes me want to listen to Agaetis Byrjun again as I always thought that record was slightly superior. However, I do think there are one or two skippable cuts on this record but other than that these songs are incredible. Overall, I am completely stunned by this album and I am looking forward to diving into more of this artists work. (Edited)
