Albums where the first song is so much better than the rest of the album it makes you wonder why they bothered putting it first if they knew it'd be followed by mediocrity.

That's not only the weakest song on the album, but quite possibly my least favorite Sigur Ros song.
How can you say that when Staralfur comes immediately after it?

Different strokes I guess.

FUCK. NO. It's the worst song on the album for me, and I'm including the 30 second interlude. It's gimmicky as fuck and is only good as LOOK WE PLAY SWING METAL, the rest of the songs actually have solid songwriting.
