Free Music Review: An incredible experience
Hit: 5 Stars

In my opinion, the goal of music is to transmit emotion to the listener. To create a soundscape within the listener, so that the listener experiences more than just hearing. They feel the music. I am into ALL kinds of music from jazz to death metal, but none approach the ability to stir emotion like Sigur Ros does. I'm reviewing the ( ) album, but in reality I consider it to be equal to both Takk and ?g?tis Byrjun - all three being among the most incredible auditory experiences I've ever had.

This album is beautiful all the way through. As some others have said, the first half is a little more hopeful sounding, while the second half tends toward a somewhat darker sound. As with most albums, I have a few favorites - those being tracks 1, 4 and 8 on this album. Track 1 has a very innocent sound. If you watch the video (which you can find on youtube), you can get a better feel for the meaning behind the song. Track 4 starts off with the huge, spacey guitar part that quickly becomes ingrained into your mind. It's a really melancholy song that seems to sum up the feel of the first half of the album. Track 8 is one that I've really just recently fallen in love with. It starts off sounding almost as hopeful as the songs on the first half of the album, but about half way through it takes a drastic turn. The haunting sound of the vocals pulls you into a seriously intense few minutes that could be the soundtrack for the end of the world. In my opinion, those last few minutes of track 8 are the most incredible part of the entire album. It's really otherworldly.

As a last thought, I want to ask everyone who reads this to try something at least once. Get in the car. Windows up, rolling along down the interstate/highway as the sun sets (at the end of the work day is great for this). Track #8 cranked up loud. Relax (obviously this won't work in bad traffic). Don't lose focus from the road, but let the music take you. Let it be the soundtrack to your drive. I've done this countless times on the way home, and it is truly an incredible experience time after time. There's something about Sigur Ros. If you let it, it will create a feeling in the listener that in incomparable to any I've ever felt.

Limited double 180gm Direct Metal Mastering vinyl pressing of this 2002 album from the Icelandic band. Remastered direct from the original master and pressed on heavy weight vinyl audiophile discs. This release is strictly limited and housed in a plastic wallet. Fat Cat.
Are Iceland's Sigur R?s the saviors of 21st-century rock or true heirs to the silk-robed-and-platform-booted, pompous progressive rock of the '70s? On their third album (first for a major label), they are a little bit of both. The group continues to mix the most interesting aspects of U2 (the anthem), Low (the maximalist slow-mo thing), Radiohead (the utter lack of irony in the quest to make meaningful art for stadium crowds), and My Bloody Valentine (guitar as texture), while not sounding like anyone else on this planet. The average song length on the eight untitled tracks is eight minutes, with cascades of moaning, bowed guitars colliding with low-end keyboards while the lovely, alien-registered vocals of singer J?nsi float on top. Dynamics are employed spectacularly, but half of the album is spooky soundtrack music that never really goes anywhere. However, the actual songs on Two Sausages Kissing (or whatever you want to call it)--the third, sixth, eighth, and especially fourth tracks--are mind-blowers, spectacularly worth the price of admission. If they just stopped trying to reinvent the wheel all the time, Sigur R?s could really be a band for the ages. --Mike McGonigal
