But when you're home one day with nothing to do for about two hours, listen to Takk... again. I used to dismiss it after Hoppipolla, but if you listen to it from beginning to end, you get to see how each song plays off the one that came right before. They do a fantastic job of making it atmospheric and engaging, which was a problem in Agaetis which was just atmospheric.

and I agree with ( ). It's impossible for me to listen to it from beginning to end. It's either I listen to the first four tracks or the last four tracks.
We're like polar opposites on Sigur Ros. Agaetis and () are the standouts for me... near-perfect albums IMO. Takk is good but is very bland in between the standout tracks. With that said, Gong may be my favorite song from them. Med Sud is good at first, but gets old really fast.
