This album is amazing. You should stop reading now, and go to buy it. Every song here is a depressive master piece. It starts with a slow, boring and repetitive "Svefn-G-Englar", and then, when you're about to stop the CD, it comes a climax that can kill you the first time you hear it. So, you start to see the beautiful magic in this record with the next songs, especially "Flugufrelsarinn", the best rock song ever since the '70s. All the other songs are incredible beautiful epics that you won't want to stop listening. The lyrics are great too, if you have the translations, but they're not so important with that excellent voice and music. Excellent, my favorite album from the last two decades.
