Sigur Rós: Jon Thor Birgisson (vocals, guitar); Kjartan Sveinsson (keyboards); Georg Holm (bass guitar); Orri Páll DyRason (drums).Rolling Stone (No. 983, p.104) - 3.5 out of 5 stars - "...TAKK... suggests a far more abstract Coldplay, stripped of their stadium bombast...."
Spin (p.139) - "Birgisson sings in tongues most of us can't comprehend, and thus he can punch emotional buttons in a strangely direct way." - Grade: A
Entertainment Weekly (No. 840, p.88) - "...[T]he thundering majesty of harder tracks...finds its strings-laden counterpart in the swooning, slow-mo abstraction that makes up the bulk of this disc..." - Grade: A-
Uncut (p.109) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[E]motionally seductive....Dark clouds of intensity gather and then slowly disperse, leaving a crystalline calm."
Magnet (p.108) - "TAKK's mini suites play out with typically complex beauty....Gathering tiny moments of clarity into big, breathtaking shapes that are glorious to examine from near or far."
The Wire (p.63) - "The music's strengths lie in its sheer vastness, depicting a series of enormous peaks and crescendos before suddenly cutting back to tiny details, contrasting the hugeness of the group's full sound with the fragility of some of its elements."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.60) - Ranked #27 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2005" - "A coming-of-age album from Iceland's etherealists."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.99) - 4 stars out of 5 - "TAKK...delivers a mighty, crashing release of soul-wringing, meat-eating noise to resolve its complex, tension-building miniaturism."

4 stars Recant of prior posting
I have to confess. I listened to it several times and concede this is brilliant. I guess I just expected something a bit different and when it was not it, I was initially disappointed.I guess my earlier post was reactionary. I recant my earlier posting in spades. The cd just gets better and now I can't stop listening to it. I am definitely going to the concert in Indianapolis in February!

5 stars Melodic and Masterful
The songwriting has matured, the band is tight as ever, and the melodic sensory overload of Takk will infect you deliciously. The band has added more instruments and amazing percussion, without losing the fresh angst and anguished driving force of Jonsi's haunting vocals.

5 stars You just have to applaud the effort!
You just have to applaud a group like this who go totally off the mainstream page to make some of the most beautiful music ever made. This is not like Radiohead or Bjork, this music has form and substance in an asymetrical presentation. This is prog art at it's finest! These guys are as good as Genesis in it's earlier Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett days. They'll go far if they stay true to form and don't sell out to pop or some other flavor of the day like Genesis did!
