Ágætis Byrjun

absolutely forgettable

Favourite song - Svefn g englar One for singing in the shower - Despite speaking fluent Icelandic i wouldn't sing any of these songs in the shower. One for a swim - Can't listen during a swim and couldn't stand the singing on the bamm bamm bamm track so that one. Started alright but got fed up with it.

The musicality does stand up to its ambitions, resulting in a melodramatic sound. This album is like a teenager who doesn't have the words to express all the complicated feelings and emotions they are experiencing.

personally not my type of music, interesting style and rhythm. for those who like it, i’m sure it’s the best :)

Wasn't really my cup of tea.

Icelandic Radiohead

This album is definitely there for a specific mood. It feels like if you're feeling down, melancholic, or nostalgic, you would play this in the rain.

Not my type of vibe - ambient sounds that seemed more to put me to sleep than enjoy listening to

Pieniä hetkiä väläytteli ja tunnelma osui oikeaan hermoon, mutta kokonaisuus kovin vaisua elektrohobittia.

Rauhottumiseen hyvää. Valitettavasti ykskään hetki ku kuuntelin tätä, ei ollut sellanen tilanne

I didn't like this album but only because it's not my style. I'll give it 2 stars simply because I can understand why someone would like it.

One of the more unique albums I’ve listened to. The instrumentals and beats were very enjoyable and relaxing. The lyrics didn’t make sense. The singing was good. The album would’ve been possibly great if it was in English or somewhat understandable because the long songs and shoe gazing like sound was well made. 4.7/10

it's like a bad comedown. i feel like this is another band that has all the halllmarks of something i should be really in to, but i'm just not. the majority of it is boring, occasionally there is a great distorted heavily reverbed guitar that sounds beautiful, but its the outlier in what generally is drab. the bits where they're doing euphoric to me are so cheesy they sound like fucking snow patrol.

2/5 too chill for me

Hørte bare halve, men ikkje veldig fan

Not good sign when you skip through the first track half way through. Very dull........

Sooooo boring.

Meh, boring nothing to set it apart. Dreamy background sort of I guess.

I do not dig it

Rare. Respectable, but listening the whole album it's hard for people like me who likes conventional music...

Sigur Rós passed me by 20 years ago. I was aware of them, but I was too busy buzzing off me nuts to sit down and listen to space cadet music. I've mellowed since. Now is the time to take it all in. This still sounds like a live band, despite the layers that build up. Maybe I should have rolled a fat one back in the day and gone with the ride. It did drone on a little, mind.

Moderne dreampop, ambient, islandsk, afslappende

DNF

Not my thing. Ethereal sounding, very chill.

Was not a fan of the vocals.

Not for me

spacey atmospheric music 2.5

Definitely not great, but weirdly captivating. I found myself liking the sounds even though the overall impression was not something I'd listen to again. Very 'post-rock'

I remember seeing SR play a festival (Harvest) and finding them boring and too earnest while everyone was on the verge of tears. I want to like them... I think it's the vocals that puts me off. It's too choir boy. The made-up language stuff makes it all a bit D&D cosplay, which doesn't help either.

Disco di atmosfere, tutti mattoni da almeno 7/8 minuti. All'inizio chill, poi sfuma in qualcosa di un po' disturbante. 2 stelle e non una perché forse qualche volta riascolterò la seconda traccia quando non riuscirò a prendere sonno

Very eerie. And with the album cover this just made for a very creepy album. How did anyone even discover this Icelandic group? I listened all the way through while doing some work and it felt just like a score of some 2001 type movie with this cover. Don't feel it belongs on this list.

Helaas, dat kon me niet bekoren

Meh. More noise masquerading as music. Too long. Some of the drums were cool.

Far to ambient for me, not enough oomph I'm afraid! I'll definitely not having this in my collection.

Can see myself listening to this and visualizing my own movie notes. A background soundtrack to a life I had before. A life going nowhere yet towards a place I couldn’t see. Days seemingly passing by. “One day like any other” too many. I see gray. I see rain but not in a melancholy way or in a sad way. Something much darker. Like a dream or a nightmare with no end. It’s not painfully or scary but uneasy, frustrating, and unending in its plainness. The “nothing” before the story begins. The fourth track reminds me of the beginning of the heroes journey. “The Start”. “The Beginning”. “The End of an Ordinary Life”. Evokes a feeling of destiny. The sixth track: “The Ending of the World”, “I Failed…”

What's up with Icelandic music? It's so unique. I'm not a fan for sure, but it seems to have evolved in a vacuum. I don't see any direct western or eastern influence.

Find the music very calming and enjoyable, sort of like a Icelandic early Pink Floyd. Find the males vocals to be a little whiney which is a little annoying causing me to skip some tracks. Album is extremely long to it’s own detriment.

I really really enjoyed the backing track. The keyboard was superb and the drums were fantastic. Sometimes the guitar was less than good, but other times it was great. This all relaxed me. However, the part that brings this album down for me was the weird effects as well as the singer's voice. It felt like it didn't fit what the album was going for. If I could just take out the voice I would, as that would make the album much better. Favorite track: Avalon

Not much to say - an enjoyable listen through, amazing ethereal quality. I didn't mind listening to it but wouldn't be rushing back

Pretty, but hard to keep focused on.

Icelandic "The Verve" / "Radiohead" / "God is an Astronaut"? Really liked it.

Eh. Not my thing. Not enough bite.

not my cup of tea

Whay are these all so boring??

Clearly good but wouldn't go back. Find Sigur Ros very boring.

A bit too etheral and experimental, even for me

Never really took to sigur ros, I can appreciate its been written well but it bored me more than entertained me. Could be mood driven though too 2*

I can appreciate the orchestral arrangements and uniqueness of this. Cool to see what they came up with inside what is portrayed as a bit of an “outside of any influence” inside their culture vacuum of a product. In the end though not my thing on the whole...elves wtf! Are they Christians as well 🤔

I tried, I like other post-rock, but I don't get it.

Reap

Ok

Outside of background music while doing something else, I don't see the appeal...

Eh ok

@@. Really downtempo, indie feel. I liked one song, "Ny Batteri".

Not bad. One or two nice tracks but overall not totally for me.

uhm, I thought this band was some kind of pop group. Am I wrong? This was not pop.

Not really my thing. Quite boring and the man's voice is reedy and annoying.

Bjork is cooler

Wonderfully arranged and produced soundtrack music. But the reason for the acclaim eludes me. There's plenty of ambient with more experimentation, and post-rock with more excitement and better tunes. The 2 instead of 3 is out of spite, as this is fairly in the exact middle of the road (probably a 2.65, but whatever).

God I hate this album. Not because it is bad, but definitely not to my taste or style.

false

Unoriginal

Generally speaking, if a band's name includes letter or symbols I can't type on a standard keyboard, it is not going to be highly rated. Come on with the long ass songs! It's in Icelandic? Post-rock? Dream pop? These genres exist to justify music critic jobs. As a "soundscape" I have listened to less good albums, as a popular music album, I don't love it. This is like the background music to an HBO prestige drama. I get why Radiohead loves these guys. This is so low key as to be sedative. They sing in a made up language...my god, these dudes must absolutely adore the smell of their own farts.

도저히 못 듣겠다. 너무 내 스타일이 아니다. 앨범 제킷은 흥미로웠는데 노래는 내 스타일이 아니었다. I can't hear it at all. It's not really my style. The album jacket was interesting, but the songs weren't my style.

Es un álbum bastante experimental, no me llevo a ningún lado inclusive quise escucharlo en algún momento yo de meditacion o en un ambiente neutro y no sentí ninguna sensación. Nada más para agregar sin haber buscado estoy seguro que esto viene de Europa del este, algo medio esloveno me suena. No hay top Picks

I started this journey specifically for music like this. I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and listen to music from a band maybe I don't know and hopefully like it. Sadly I did not care for this at all. It's like concentration music. Wikipedia says the drummer left right after this album was recorded. Is that because he had next to no work to do? I did like Ágaetis byrjun though

Not mine

What even is this? Svefn-g-englar basically sounds like she's saying "eat you" over and over. Flugufrelsarinn had a nice chill vibe. The rest of the album didn't really do much. Best song: Flugufrelsarinn

nah

La verdad que no entiendo a los Islandeses, tienen música muy rara, es aburrida, extraña, no me gustó para nada...

Me costó mucho escuchar el álbum y solamente llegué a la segunda canción ya que transmite una tristeza imponente. Puede tener muy buenas reseñas, pero por mi parte me bajé del barco muy rápido.

shit was ass

Absolute dog water. Never heard anything so bad.

The positive: I now know how Sigur Ros sound - the negative: the album was almost unbearably boring.

Another album ruined by the Tower of Babel. Musically, this is (somewhat) fine as an (overlong) ambience, but I strongly suspect the lyrics are critical to the experience; so, without a translation, this sadly falls flatter than the aforementioned tower.

Not my thing Great for a movie

I did not enjoy this.

Ass

ja nwm o chuj tu chodzi ostatnio cos nie trafiaja w moje klimaty mroczne dzwieki

I simply cannot count the ways this album was not for me. It was too long. Went nowhere. Sounded the same. Nope.

This is what Radiohead would sound like if Bjork was the lead singer. And I don’t say this in a good way. This was a struggle to get through.

this was not my taste

Album #1,085 What is this bullshit? Inspired by Radiohead or the other way around? Songs take forever to get where they are going. Awful sounding singer. Complete silence for far too long. Ear-splitting shrill noises. Yet there are parts here and there that sound good, like the drums on Ny Batteri. I was waffling between a 1 and 2 the entire album, and I decided to let the final track break the tie. It was 4 minutes of basically nothing. That decided it.

pretty bad and weird

I couldn’t finish this. Kind of embarrassed to say since I know this is supposed to be good stuff

no conecte, talvez no era mi momento

I kinda liked the vibe at the beginning but then it became more of a noise album. I can’t see myself listening to any of this again.

It’s a no from me dawg.

If you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all

Now that was trash

Jesus. This one sucks.

Songs were really long not really my vibe

why is this on the list... no one is actually listening to this.

This album has nothing for me. I hated the instrumentation, I didn’t connect with the lyrics or the vocals. I genuinely hated every second of this album. I don’t understand how droning and boring albums like this make the list and the entirety of Primus doesn’t make the list. This is one of the incredibly rare times where I’m actually insulted by an albums inclusion on this list, do better…who ever picked this album to be here.

it definitely sounds like it had been beamed in from another galaxy, in a dreamy, calming sound. However, it's a bit boring to me. This might just be because i need lyrics to actually enjoy a song and deem it as good (I do not speak Icelandic). The production is good, but repetitive. I would never go back to this album.... a bit pretentious. my first "did not finish."

You know how there's white noise or red noise or blue noise or whatever? This is white noise for suburbians who are "spiritually awakened." Not recommended if you're trying to start a work day, or operate heavy machinery. If you would like white noise where you can listen and still function safely, I would recommend the Anthrax album The Sound of White Noise.

no

Not really my speed.

Odd

Wtf so boring

… what?

Vocals in the opening track nearly pushed me over the edge

a lot of this album is just noises and sounds in my ears

Maybe if I were high . . .

I tried to find an entry point into this music but just could not.

😴

Boring as absolute fuck.

Strident

Not my cup of tea

i’m not a fan of this sonically. the haunting, darkened tone of sound is something i usually don’t enjoy.

I can appreciate the craftsmanship behind it, it's just not for me.

This is not good. I like pretty much some post-rock, but sigur rós is not for me. The songs are like nothing, even being something ambiental, it doenst has a good vibe.

Shit

Too much of a concept album

I don’t understand the fascination with this band either. Cool name, odd artwork, shit music.

This album is on par with Tom Waits. People who say that they enjoy this are either lying or are somehow greatly inferior or superior to me. Coldplay but worse with a little music from a Disney ride thrown in.

This sucks, sorry. Worst thing to come out of Iceland.

No, no es para mí! Me pareció horriblemente aburrido y largo, parece música de película indie de los 2000. Seguro a mí ex le gustaría y diría que es una obra maestra de la música.

I am unable to appreciate classical music instruments used so superficially, like they are there to give some classical veneer. I feel judgemental, but that's how I hear it. Just gimme well-written classical music then!

- Neen - 0 nummers toegevoegd aan MMMM - 0 nummer al toegevoegd aan MMMM

1 out of 5 Could not make it through this album. Weird instrumental

Bizzaro comes to mind. I didn't know the band and I don't much care for their music. Bad album.

I'm not sure if this is music for when you are in a melancholic/vegetative state, or, arent satified with being happy in life & want to be put into a melancholic/vegetative state. Regardless this Icelandic language malarkey its far too out-there/niche/soundscapey for me & unless I ever decide to take a lot of drugs whilst laying under the Northern lights, its irrelevant to both my ears. Side note : Cmon, how does niche stuff like this end up on a 1001 greatest?!

It took me 10+ tries to get through this.

Boring

Shite.

Langweilig.

Ew no thanks

Langweilig.

Not my thing

Modern version of sleepy songs before bed

Ah, guys, you made a mistake, this one actually belongs in the 1001 most boring albums of all time list.

slow and experimental

Awful

I feel bad saying it, but this had me going back and forth between boredom and outright irritation. Sometimes the music just doesn't seem to work together in a way that makes sense to my brain. It's like they're shoving disparate parts together. And the vocals and drums and horns just don't have pleasing tones. A lot of the ambient stuff just isn't pleasant. There are moments where I can get into it and I'm like "hey maybe this song is gonna work for me!" and then the vocals come in or something and knock it back down. It's just very much not for me, I suppose.

Not for me. Sounded like random sounds

Ah, my first DNF of this project. Look, I'm doing my best over here. I'm pushing against my comfort zones, I'm trying to keep an open mind, trying new things. But my patience for extended pretentious wankery is limited. Obviously there is talent here, but these are ambient soundscapes more than actual songs, and I cannot make myself care. Miserable.

Not for me. DNF

Meh. Very ambient

Almost got in on a couple songs then the singing started. Who plays this shit for company or anyone?

Nah

Didn’t care for

Interesting and appreciate it's something different but not really for me. I'm probably missing something massive here. I'm OK with that.

Da je neko komponovao album iz čiste namjere da mene namuči do granice ludila, to bi bilo nešto ovakvo. Svaka pjesma kao da traje godinu dana. Sve zvuči identično. Živne jednom u 20 minuta a i tad je iritantno. A tek ovaj glas. Jedan od najmanje podnošljivih albuma dosad.

Sigur Rós: Ágætis Byrjun: This was an hour and eleven minutes. It SUCKS. It is super boring, unengaging, and just not interesting at all. The entire thing just keeps droning on and on and on and on and I cannot recommend it at all. Its a different flavor of boring from yesterday but boy its getting the same score. 1/10

I hate you post- whatever genres, just call yourself something else and I would have enjoyed it more. 1 star

Sounds like whale or birth music. From the depiction of of the cover, the latter would be about right. Wasn't like any of my kids being born, it was lots of swearing and cursing. Next time I'm suffering from insomnia I'll put this on. Trouble is, it's so forgettable that I don't think I will.

I don't understand why this one is considered so good. I found it to be terribly uninteresting.

Felt like an intro the whole album

This is awful lmao, I don’t get how this is something you need to hear before u die

Infumable encima largo como esperanza de pobre, perdón escuché hasta la mitad, pista 6 si no me equivoco y lo dropee. BIYIUUUHHHJUUUUU Aaaaaaaa que re mil poronga

Worst piece of shit ive ever heard

Dull and boring. Not my thing at all. I don't enjoy this type of atmospheric, melancholic music

I got this when it was released. The CD packaging was unique. It was one of those paper jewel cases with a single color silver ink. This was heavily promoted on KCRW and a friend of mine LOVED this so much that when he was a camp advisor / counselor at some swanky summer camp for kids he built a breakout session around listening and enjoying Sigur Rós and similar Icelandic music. But as the summer camp filled up he was forced to cancel the offering for lack of interest. This is one of those albums that you either love or hate. For me, it tics all the boxes. It’s unique, has lost of white space, soft and relaxing, otherworldly, even (and had cool packaging). But for whatever reason I am repulsed by this. It makes me wanna crawl outta my skin. Nothing ever seems to happen and the repetitiveness gives this feeling of boundless purgatory. I had a visceral reaction to this on par with Gotan Project, Limp Bizkit, Gunfighter X and Duck Stab.

It's because I wrote that I had respect for Bjork, isn't it. That's why I'm being punished with this? The recording is obviously purposefully poor. They seem to think it's a good effect to jump in and out of quality. I see what we're doing with the strings, but at the end of the day this is way too far towards "art" and away from "music."

Bryan zigs and I zag. This album sucks, multiple unlistenable/grating songs and the others are just boring. Staralfur used to get heavy airtime on xrt and I liked it then (read, middle school), but it holds nothing for me now.

Twee, sacharine tosh

Im sure its fine if i spoke the language

Not sure which drug is required to enjoy this one

Bad

I don't know whether i liked it or not, fell asleep at the first half

ANOTHER album that I just don't know when people would choose to listen to it. Who is for???? 1hr 12 minutes of noise and someone whining unintelligibly

This is one that just isn’t going to be my cup of tea. It’s one of those albums and one of those bands that people really rave about for some reason, but I just don’t get it.

Woof. This album is a mood. My personal take is that it was a terrible, painful listen. It made me irrationally angry. I don't get this style of music. It's like Björk meets Radiohead in all the wrong ways. At times it's just noise. At best it's a dramatic movie score. Did I need to hear this before I died? Absolutely not. But, was it at least an interesting and horizon-broadening experience? Also no.

Not for me

boooo

Not for me

Ambient music at best. There's nothing to indicate why it should be included in such a list. Failed to engage. One wonders whether people who think this stuff is "worthy" ever step outside the limited musical world of Rock and Pop. Broaden your horizons a bit, listen to some contemporary "classical music" (although I mislike the term). 1/5.

необычайной красоты оркестровая эмбиент музыка - все как я люблю) а любовь моя к таким штукам выражается в единичке

1 hour lo fi pretentiousness to fall asleep to

A bit weird! Listening to at least 25% of each track, and some of the actual musical elements were OK, but not for me!

ew

Slow and agonizing almost painful. Not my genre at all. Felt more like noise than music.

This album “gave me hope that was a disappointment” An alright start to a terribly boring album. Dollar store Enya. I fought so hard to stay awake thru incredibly long boring, sound alike songs. 1001 album worthy: No - 37/65

If this is the music they play in heaven then send me to hell where all the good blues is. Anyway, if I wanted to listen to trippy music I'd put on Pink Floyd. If I want to hear some great music in a language I don't understand then I will put on the Hu Band.

thought it would be better and i would enjoy it. glad i listened tho and experienced something new.

I had been wanting to listen to Sigur for years, but never got around to it. I didn't miss much.

Really didn’t like very ethereal, thought to listen to

I figured I'd be in for something unusual based on the name's weird characters and accents, but was kind of let down by the blah-ness of the album. Yeah it is not English words, but I've had fun with those in the past. This is a snoozer. I'm glad I wasn't driving today or else I'd fall asleep. On the other hand, I could be saying it was a nice and peaceful trance of an album, but I literally think the the singer is yawning during the title track. That actually is an interesting technique for a album to make you sleepy --just yawn while singing. Anyways, not for me. I'm going to go take a nap now. It's noon on New Year's Eve 2024. I want to make sure I'm awake to see the light leave this horrible year. Favorite track: I guess the title track 1/5

Strange music

The generator gave me the wrong album on the wrong day. I am feeling under the weather and have zero patience for this level of dreary ambient nothing.

Tried, but couldn't finish it.

A nice enough album that I'm glad I heard, I guess, but I'm good with just this once through from the band. No need to revisit or delve further. Sounded a bit like a very slowed down Icelandic Enya/Radiohead. It moved with the speed of a glacier. Could be a better, shorter album if they cut half the dead space. Cover got a cool baby alien angel though...1.2.

Today was a really happy day, which prevented me from enjoying this album fully. I’ll give it another try when I’m melancholic.

I get why some people might like it, but it's intolerably slow with annoying vocals. At its best, its background music.

Nails on a chalkboard.

This shit sucks. No stars

Bit boring

Background music for movies. Muita pretensão. Boring. Iceland music. I need a energetic galoon to stay wake up during this audience

Sloooooow

Snoozefest

lame

DNL

This isn't Taylor Swift?? Why would I care to listen to this crap. 1/5. For real though, I'm sure the story is cool but I don't wanna translate lyrics and stuff. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

wtf I couldn't finish this I'm sorry

Super slow, boring

Sounds like whales on acid. No ta.

Pretentious arse chants.

Sung in Icelandic. Bit strange.

Außer des Titelsongs zu experimentell. Mag ich gar nicht

God, this is boring as fuck.

This list is suspect. This is a nice album, but nowhere near the greatest 1000.

I didn't get this one at all.

fa sboccare

At first I was like I’ll let it cook. It burned. What is this?

i hated this goodbye

Far too long and incoherent. One song was just loads of tapping in different rhythms. Can understand why others like them, but this was a chore.

Pass

Ah eu queria ser o tipo de pessoa que curte Sigur Rós mas infelizmente tô muito longe disso ainda

Felt like I was being gaslighted. No.

So that’s where that song svefn-G-Englar came from. Now I know…

Vibes: Ambient

No.

Nope

High pitch voice, scandinavian

Not for me ..

Not a fan of this at all

Apparently they are more well-known than I thought. Wasn't for me...

No

Nice sounds but didn't gel for me. Too experimental. 1/5

Horrible boring and annoying. I never understood the appeal of this band. I think it’s a band that you say you like to be cool.

This album just didn’t do it for me.

Hated. Too ethereal// taking music too seriously.

Some of this is really beautiful, but I could not finish the 10 minute long falsetto track at the beginning. It was really bad and I can only assume that this album is famous for some of the other tracks? Okay, now it is a bunch of weird experimental sounds and noise. Not good.

Horrible. Unlistenable.

Didn't enjoy

nicht das meine

One song that could be called such. The rest sounds like experimtal failure...

Eurotrash

nix für mich

Isn't my music style

Idk

Too ambient and slow or passive for me, not much melodic content

Could not get into it. Dark, dull, slow.

J'aime pas

Why would they try to undo all the musical rep Björk has earned for Iceland by putting out something so devastatingly boring? Every song is the intro to a better song that never begins, drawn out to 10 minutes. You keep waiting for something engaging to happen and it never does.

Not my jam. I can understand the appeal though and why it's here

One drawn out album. Makes for good background noise. But just drags.

Nope

Maybe I was in the wrong mood for this… but no. Just completely not my thing

unique different melodic background high monolithic consistent slow rock sad nordic melancholic

It's not my cup of tea but I listened to the complete album to give it a chance. I understand how other people can enjoy this album but it did nothing for me. Slow, uninspiring and quite boring.

Meh

Super not my jam. Slow, plodding 10 minute opuses in a foreign language. The songs are in Icelandic as well, so no connection via lyrics for me either. Oh well, not everything is for everybody. Top 3 N/A

Imagine this scene: You're at a bar at the W Hotel in Miami, it's late in the evening and the purple lights are low and all the beautiful people are sitting in small groups on plush sofas talking quietly and drinking vodka cocktails with orchids in them. This garbage music is what will be playing in the background. Repetitive, unoriginal and uninspired. But that's just my opinion.

really not for me

you call this music? i don’t want to listen to wailing sorry

0 stars

# 21: electronic leads, dreamy in its delivery, but weird. Music to fall asleep by. Over 1 hour of suffering! I guess it's good if you can understand it?

p853, 1999. 1 star I like Sigur Rós , but this one... meh. Left me cold. Strays dangerously close into pretentious, over-long prog-rock wankage. Not sure why this one is on the list, as Valtari is a far better album.

this album started to put me to sleep. its very boring and every song is entirely too long. "bamm bamm" was ok. the album cover is cool.

unlistenable

Waste of time to listen

Sorry but no. Want to give 0 stars but I guess 1 will have to do. Found myself losing the will to live while listening but that probably says more about me than the album.
