I swear this album could cure insomnia, it's an absolute snoozefest in the second half. Gobbledi**** really is a strange track but it's an exception to the rule, they soon settle in familiar territory, only, instead of the majestic, celestial, dramatic soundscapes of Takk, this album seems to be stripped down to the basics. Most of it is just the lead singer singing quietly accompanied by a single instrument, like a piano or a guitar (maybe a quiet string section or two). The only real standout track for me is Godan daginn which is stunning. The rest is unremarkable...I'll give it a few more shots, only because I think Takk is a modern day masterpiece and Heima is an incredible piece of film, but it doesn't look promising. :\
