I had it and I loooooove it.

the first percussive song called "Gobbledigook" is quite weird at the first approach. One of my mates warned me and he was right.
I loved instantly the 5th track entitled "Festival"... a jewel! ^^

only one listening of this album so need more of them to give my opinion.

yeah, when "Gobbledigook" arrived on myspace I was like.. "Hu???" cause it didnt sound quite like what we got used too... And to be honest I thought for a moment Radiohead had given a song to Sigur Ros ;)
I have only listened to the streams once or twice, and I'm sure when I'll give it some time it will grow on me big time... I have about a month to do so to fully enjoy Sigur Ros live in August :D

you are lucky.

I'm still not ready to enjoy this album as it should be yet... very different from the previous works too. I think it requires a special mood for it. waiting for this moment.

I love this album so much that hurts :d

I specially liked all those "good vibe" song (Im not even gonna try to write the names)

Sugur "played" near Mex city a couple of months ago.. a complete disaster.

Worst organization ever (never, never try to take 7,000 ppl for a show by bus in the middle of the mountains) and Orri was really sick, so they only played about 7 songs (Mostly songs that doesnt need drums).

Well I can say that this album is good but not as good as () or Takk in my opinion... The melodies are too simple and the mix is not interlacing instruments with each other but more putting lyaers on top of each other... which I find a pity...
But well, they still kicked my ass @ Lowlands... Gobbledigook was still despite the massive addition show wise, the part of the show I liked the less...
Nevertheless, I'll probably move my ass to Amsterdam to see them again!

Just been getting into this band, God Is An Astronaut, and Mogwai.
I'm loving all of it.
