Með Suð Í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust (studio album) by Sigur Rós

Another fantastic release from one of the most consistent bands in music. They just ooze with quality and class and this record is no exception to that. The atmosphere on here is fantastic and the instrumental performances are just phenomenal. Every track has its own individual moment to shine and all of them have diverse and great instrumentation. This leads to an interesting and engaging listen as each song feels special and individual. The vocal is just phenomenal as well and his delivery on this record and every other record they have ever made is so perfect for the style of music they are creating. It is soft, delicate and feels fragile allowing us to be able to connect with it. The group really shine on the longer songs on here with them allowing the tracks to properly develop and they feel a lot more satisfying. However, one of my criticisms with this release is that some of the shorter songs do feel a little underdeveloped and that can lead to me feeling underwhelmed when they seem to end too soon. Overall, an elite level record that demonstrates once again how brilliant this band really is.

Reminds me of early-on slower Tangerine Dream / Kraut

Drawn to this band through reviews on this site earlier in 2018 and got the excellent Ageatis Bryjun which led me into this album. Although not as strong an album I love the feel of the songs and the album as a whole. So laid back and spacious.

An interesting album. Sigur Ros definitely shines more on the longer songs here, where they have more time to really build something from the ground up. But some of the songs can also sound a bit formulaic, like their just trying to create Takk again. Overall, a good listen though

Another album I have listened to numerous times before commenting. I like my music and have quite an eclectic collection, but I never thought I'd be listening to, and enjoying immensely, an album in Icelandic. The music is enthralling, a bit of a fucker to sing along to, admittedly, but I love it. If they've done better albums than this I can't wait to get hold of them. It maybe tails off a bit towards the end but overall it's very good.

This is happen when the sun comes to Iceland.

Melancholy and perfect on a rainy day or late at night. Excellent music and vocals. Great record!

Very good album. Diverse, sad, contemplative and joyfull . And yet, only their third best in my opinion. Following Takk and Agaetus
