This new Sigur Rós album sounds basically like any other Sigur Rós album, to no one's surprise.  Maybe a little more rock-based and a little less atmospheric, but not drastically so.  I'm not sure I have any particular insight other than that to be honest.  Good record, I'll listen to it a few times, but I'm guessing if I'm really itching to listen to Sigur Rós I'll just put in their masterpiece "Ágætis Byrjun."

It's also entirely possible I've said basically this same review in reference to past
Sigur Rós albums.  So be it.
