Worried about a move on the other, or even a creative slump in the rest of the band had to not make obvious kveikur demonstrates the impressive manner.
Valtari was very ambient and worn kveikur contrast, is full of energy, creativity, without losing the typical Sigur Ros Trade Marks out of sight.
The opener Brennistein rolled dark and menacing with a hard bass from the speakers, perhaps one of the hardest rocking songs to the guys have ever pressed onto plate. After this intense, almost eight minutes a second song Hrafntinna reversed in calmer waters. The subsequent Isjaki is a flawless pop song of almost radio format and happy with Jónsi's vocals in a good mood makes.
In general, the album sounds varied than ever before. Especially the Rhytmusfraktion with Orri Dyrason moves on the disc very often to the fore. At Orris thick drums still some of the many songs joins on percussion, bells and other equipment make their mark.
But most impressive is the title song of the record. I spoke at Brennistein still the hardest rocking, kveikur is perhaps the hardest song to the boys have ever unleashed on their audience. For distorted vocals are joined by almost Jónsi Industrial Moderate guitars, Orri edited the drum heads like a madman, and even violins of Amiina girls have what threatening. An incredible song and still very Sigur Ros, just simply beautiful.
At the end of the plate, it is then a little quieter and the last song Var brings a then back to the fairway Valtaris.
Conclusion: Sigur Ros log after a short break more than an impressive back and know at all levels to inspire. Who this plate will not buy definitely missing out on something.
