Free Music Notes for Hvarf / Heim (Dig)
Free Music Review: Shoulda been an EP
Hit: 2 Stars
Not much new here for fans. Sigur Ros is one of my favorite bands, but let's be honest, they're not one to reinvent their songs. Their concerts are amazing but offer little in the way of surprise, and Disc 2 of this collection is no different...there's hardly any noteworthy difference between these songs and the original album versions. I was expecting concert recordings, but once I realized that wasn't the case, I began to hope they'd used past works as a platform to create something new. Instead, they've just re-recorded those songs live. And with "Hafsol" (concert favorite and the best song in this collection) having already been released elsewhere, there's very little here worth paying for, at least for those of us who have the other albums. If I'd known, I would have bought the first four tracks of Disc 1 on (that music download site) rather than buying this whole set.
By the way, the Heima DVD is wonderful. Fans of the band should buy it instead of this CD, to get far more bang for your buck.
