Another Sólstafir album, another pleasant but forgettable experience.

Excellent album. I thought that this band could no longer provide such good albums. Fortunately, they give us this jewel, I am delighted.

Band did made a trick when went from BM to post metal, but now its genereric sounds as few of their older albums, maybe time to go beck to BM roots for fun sake?
Its soft album, it has few heavier touches, but well once I listened it, we will see , not impressed whit this.
O yes good trick was song in english,

I know they are not exactly the same but I think Alcest do a really better job ....I think for the Solstafir camp partway with Guðmundur Óli Pálmason was a bad idea.

It's not bad, but it's getting stale. Some of the songs are overextending their welcome for what they're offering. I had to convince myself not to skip parts (tho I eventually failed anyways). Pacing is sometimes odd, not in a way I'd appreciate at least. But sometimes, on the other hand, they execute it well, in their typical fashion. It has some interesting things going for it, but in general it's kind of a snoozer for me. Just-- not memorable. And it doesn't grow on me, it's quite the opposite actually. I should probably just let this one go.

Also singing in English is probably not in their best interest, dude's just not good at it. At least for now.

Their worst album.
Not bad but it lacks inspiration and is often boring. Some good moments here and there.

Previous one was more "easy-listening" but with good ideas. Different from what they've done before (and not as beautiful) but a good album.
With this one, instead, they returned to a style more similar to Kold/Svartir Sandar but without inspiration.
IMO, obviously!

I don't mind chopping a bit of a record length, but this is a great album to make love.

I got this back when it came out and listened to the first three songs, which I do remember enjoying, then I stopped listening and completely forgot about it until a few days ago. I still like the first song but it would seem that during all the time that this album had slipped my memory I wasn't missing anything very memorable. There's far less going on here than previous albums and what is here is just more of the same but far less interesting. There's a total lack of new ideas and (seemingly) inspiration too. The middle tracks completely lose me. Dionysus flat out feels like it doesn't even belong on this album because it seems like it's trying to make up for most of the other songs being so sleepy. The last three songs improve a bit but spend too much time being dull to prevent me from counting down the seconds until the experience is finally over. I tried to be objective and fair but no matter how I looked at it I felt like this album failed to even meet me half way.

Akkeri is good, skip the rest.
