This album takes quite a few listens before you get to understand what it is you're listening to. Sigur Ros have a very intense sound that often doesn't go anywhere for quite some time. They are clearly not a band in a hurry. The repeated plays are oh so worth it though. The stand out tracks are 3,4 and 8 but all work well. I see that this site is giving all the songs names but that's a recent thing. If you buy this CD you will still get a track listing of Untitled 1 to 8. All in all, a very good album from a very good band. If you're starting out with SR though, I'd suggest Takk as a better way in.
