Reviews & Discussion
I've read and heard so many wonderful reviews of this album, but I really can't find it in my heart to like it as much as I like "Ágætis Byrjun" and "( )". I think it's more mainstream and more accessible than the previous two albums. Not that accessibility is a bad thing, but to me, Sigur Rós music has always been very private - something I'd listen to alone at nights, or something that would help me get through the difficult moments of my life. The music from their previous albums was more minimal, subtle and modestly beautiful, whereas on "Takk...", they've taken a different direction - they've basically made a pretty standard post rock album with no obvious charm. Whereas I can't argue that it does indeed contain some great tunes, I'll never be able to love it as much as I love the ever-gorgeous "Ágætis Byrjun" and "( )".
