Best album? Worst Album?

[BerkianWarrior]

Your thoughts?
I've decided that Von is the worst album, and either Kveikur or Agaetis Byrjun would be the best. Takk is good too.

[Daudalogn]

Með Suð is actually my all time favourite even though my love for SR comes largely from them not being to pop-ish... And since I only like about two tracks off Von, I'm going with that as the worst. I like my music weird, but that's just a bit toooo weird, that Von is...

[BerkianWarrior]

Really? I think that Von isn't weird enough (meaning unique enough). It just sounds like an odd sounding 80's Rock Dream Pop album.

[Daudalogn]

Yeah, I suppose better expressing my opinion would be to say that the album seems more "sound effect" than proper music...

[wolflambert]

Best: Ágætis byrjun
Worst: Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust

[wolflambert]

I actually really like Von; it's my third most listened Sigur Rós album according to Last.fm (after Ágætis and the untitled one). Hún Jörð is up there with their best tracks imo.

I certainly get why people dislike it, though. It's very different and quite strange at times. But hey, that's a matter of taste, and I happen to enjoy it

[spaytrelil]

I really like Von too although I'm still getting used to the screaming on the first track (freaked me out when I first listened to it).

My fave album changes every day depending on my mood. If pushed Agaetis Byrjun/( )/Takk.

[Pie1862]

I'd go with those three, probably ( ) ahead of the other two though. Worst, difficult but I'd stay cryptic and say one of the last three studio albums.

[Ron.ray]

my favorite is either (), Takk or Agætis because they got me so hooked up and i never grow tired of them. As for my least would be Von because it never got my attention even if it's not that bad as they make it seem.

[thorsteinn44]

Needless to say, I like all Sigur Rós albums. My favorite has been ( ) for the past 10 years or so. I probably listened to it every day for about a year straight and not only did I not get tired of it, but it got better with every listen and I constantly discovered a new favorite song on that album.

My least favorite album is Von, but I just feel like they hadn't found their identity yet and developed their sound completely. I'm happy that they made that album and I do enjoy it, but I find myself playing it less than any of their other albums.

So here is how I would order their studio albums, ranked simply based on how much I listen to them:

1. ( )
2. Ágætis Byrjun
3. Valtari
4. Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust
5. Takk
6. Kveikur
7. Von

Of course I'm only talking about studio albums. Some of my favorite songs actually come from non-studio albums, such as "Dánarfregnir og Jarðafarir" and "Bíum bíum bambaló" from the Angels of the Universe soundtrack, one of my favorite Icelandic films.

[thorsteinn44]

I went from absolutely not liking Með suð í eyrum to loving it. It took about 10 listens for me, but I have never changed my mind so dramatically about an album. #emotionalrollercoaster

[Dystopia]

My Favorites album it's Kveikur the first album I buy I like all album I see some people dislike Von but me I love it it's very insane I like that ^^"

[BerkianWarrior]

For forever Med Sud was my least favorite because of its cover, but once I pushed that aside and got the nerve to listen to it, it's one of my favorites.

[Daudalogn]

I always say if Með Suð had Valtari's cover I'd be the happiest individual alive...

[Alline]

Of course I'm only talking about studio albums. Some of my favorite songs actually come from non-studio albums, such as "Dánarfregnir og Jarðafarir" and "Bíum bíum bambaló" from the Angels of the Universe soundtrack(...).

Exactly the same for me!

[Alline]

Not easy:
( )
Ágætis Byrjun
..... because I love all the songs of these 2 albums
Valtari
Takk
Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust
Kveikur
Von (but one of my favorite Sigur Rós song is "Von" (Heima version))

[Best10]

Takk is the album for me

[Gung_Yugalani]

Well...

1. Kveikur
   1* Inni
2. Með Suð eyrum við spilum endalust
   2* Frakkur
3. Takk...

6. ()
7. Valtari
8. Von

How intearesting read your opinions! Everyone enjoy the same band but in such differet ways. Everyone seems to hear unique aspects of band's sound.
I really love to follow that kind of discussion!.
Well, for me its a bit hard to determine my favorite album... but used to be "( )". Some times "Agaetis byrjun", some times "Med sud i eyrum vid spilum endalaust", these present days "Valtari".
But the worst album for me its easy to say: "Kveikur", sorry folks.
And about "Von", I love it, adore it. I like it even more than "Takk".
Thats all

[cowolter]

Kveikur has always been my favorite album of theirs. It's very difficult to find some other album with the same "filthy/sludgy and powerful yet coherent and blissful" sound.
