Valtari is an excellent album, as is A Storm In Heaven. Love your chart!

Thanks, still playing around with ordering my choices and perfecting my list, but I'm quite happy with it so far. Valtari resonated with me as the most consistently beautiful and enveloping Sigur Ros LP followed closely with Takk, which isn't flawless but is also a fine album. In the end, it's the little touches on Valtari that I love, such as the sounds of a record player on Ekki Mukk or the layered, fragmented piano recordings on Fjogur Piano. Just a delightful listen. Oh and thanks again for your comment.

Great chart, good to see LCD Soundsystem in the top 10, although I'm not obsessed with them I think they're huge. The Valtari album... mmm I think it's their weakest effort, any previous album I think is better, but then again my opinion. Welcome to the site, looking forward for the next additions
