Lennon mentioned that this leaked somewhere else, but there are a few fans on here and we shouldn't be flooding that thread with any discussion on this.
FYI, it leaked, it says 320 although I'm not entirely sure, I at times wished it sounded a little cleaner.
I liked it on first listen, would not say it is their best, but an interesting change of sound. Much louder at times, which can be in pretty cool contrast with his falsetto voice. I'm not a reviewer or music writer though, just want y'all to know that its out!
^ one of the singles for those who don't know sigur ros and are interested. Might be their most if not radio, single? friendly album.

Listened to the album twice now, and although it's not their best it's still a great album. Kveikur and Isjaki are two of the best things they've ever done.

Gonna give it a listen once I get through some other albums. The new stuff sounded great live when I saw them earlier this year. They closed the main set with Brennisteinn which sounded massive!

Thanks BL. I took my better (worst) half to their gig with me a few months ago. He had never heard of them before, but he was really impressed with their music and how they put the gig.

Damn fine album. Reminds me of something they would have made between ( ) and TakK. I love the space they created on the songs and the moody atmosphere.
My highlights include:
- Brennisteinn - Isjaki - Rafstraumur - Var

Great album, one of my favourites of 2013 (ok, I just listen 20 this year..).
I'm going to see them next tuesday in the Antic Theatre of Lyon. Think it will be unforgettable.

I've seen Sigur Ros 5 times in concert. Always a great experience. Love this album. Have fun. Sorry I answer after more than 2 weeks... I was on holidays the day after the show... It was GREAT, you're right! Band "on top", Jonsi were great, no words about the drummer... good lights, excellent visuals (the last visuals who impressed me were from Unkle show in 2010..)... GREAT, yes, really!
