One of the largest and most influential bands in the post-rock genre, Sigur Rós is on course to hit a tsunami of criticism from the press for Með Suð í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust. By any measure, the band's fifth album is their most accessible and commercially feasible recording. Many tracks show the band reinvented in a new indie rock sound that could easily be compared to a host of their richer contemporaries -- you know, if they sang in Icelandic. The saving grace of the album for many will the middle stretch of tracks; "Festival" and "Ara Batur" are the only long form pieces offered, and both show Sigur Rós in comfortable territory where they excel at their craft. Although die hard fans will need little convincing of the album's power, the skeptics among us have a legitimate concern that the band is gradually becoming a caricature of itself. Even so, we may have to accept that the Sigur Rós we've come to know and love may be on its last breaths of life and move on by letting Með Suð í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust speak for itself.
