Great music, but the CASE is annoying.

This review is not about the music. It is about the case that the CD is packaged in. While aesthetically clever and unique, the case is larger in width and length than a standard CD case (if there is such a thing). The depth is also reduced to about 1/4 the normal size, almost like a beverage coaster.

Great Album From A Great Band

Really Great music contained on this CD. These guys are so great. Their music just takes you to places within your self. So many moods and sounds to keep your mind occupied and the lyrics fill things in perfectly. I've heard some people say,that Sigur Ros sounded like Radiohead and Bjork, I actually liked both to a certain degree, so I bought this album. I am a dedicated fan of music. My tastes cover a wide variety of genres of music. Having said this, I can tell you in all confidence that Takk is absolutely the best album I have heard in a long time. By the way, you can get a lot of free songs from this band on their website. If you're not sure if you will like it that might be a good place to start. If you have an open mind, I think you will like this music.

Icelandic atmospherists explore the boundbaries of melody.

If Sigur Ros' 2002 album ( ) was the aural equivalent of a lonely walk along a desolate shore, then Takk... can be visualized as a majestic flight, creating the impression of soaring gracefully above the clouds on a clear day. Takk...'s uplifting, atmospheric melodies make it a perfect comlimentary piece to ( )'s meloncholic soundscapes, conjuring an image of the afternoon sun breaking through the grey clouds of a rainy day.
