Sigur Rós, in case you don't know created the best song of all time in the form of "Sven-G-Engar." I equated the song to the song you'd play when you found out the meaning of life. Sigur Rós is always heavy like that, and it's anchored by Jónsi, who really made the band with his angelic vocals & ambitious musical arrangements. But now, Sigur Rós is on indefinite hiatus, and in its place we're left with the master himself, Jónsi. But don't worry, it's still has flavors of Sigur Rós all the way. In fact, I'd say that this album is played in the afterlife where you're running around in an eternal Spring field while you run through flowers.
There are no highlights here, since the whole thing is one cohesive work. I mean, it's 9 songs, it's not going to take up your whole life, go listen to it! You did? Ok, then you should know the whole album is a highlight. You only get the full effect if you listen from start to finish. The soundtrack to an afterlife run through a field of flowers isn't set to one song, no, it's set to a whole album of music. There's nothing wrong with this album, and your enjoyment will all be based on your mood and personal taste. Bottom-line, if you like Sigur Rós, then you should like Jónsi. And you better hurry and enjoy Jónsi, because he's Icelandic, and Iceland has been a hub of volcanic activity lately. I'm just saying, enjoy him while we got him.

My first review for an album has been saved for such a work. Jonsi, the lead, shall we say vocal instrument, for sigur ros just provided the world a true gift. There are few times when an album grips you from the first 10 seconds and you still feel the severity of its impact for hours after it is over. I have listened to the music four times through now and can say that this is the perfect vignette of brilliance we could not have even of dreamt of even after we knew it was coming. I have every track sigur and rice boy put out, every collaborations with radio head and the Icelandic Orchestra Director whose name escapes me now, been to many of SR's us concerts, have their dvds. Needless to say, I am a fan.
Some of us have enjoyed the mystery of Jonsi's icelandic/hopelandic lyrics in all of his other art, but we are the benefactors of a true artist on Go, he sings in english for all of us monolingual cro magnums here in the states (I am one too). Some may say the departure from his native and sometimes created tongue takes away some of the artistry that is sigur ros, I say that all it does is allow an artist to work in a medium that will permanently change the English music landscape. Finally, we in the English speaking world have a pure, musical victory rose.
The only plausible/arguable "downside" is its length, coming in under 40 minutes. I simply ask, "how long would long enough be?" Why do you own EVERY sigur ros album? Why would you listen to Untitled #4 on ( ) over and over? Perfection is found when its balance, brilliance and bliss are immediately recognized and accessible to all who view or hear. Bolt's 100 meter dash, Messi on the pitch, New Year's Eve, all are brief bursts of pure jubilation and joy, resounding long after the performance. Go is no different. Go do.

This review is based entirely on hearing this album in it's entirety a few times on NPR's First Listen website. I am well and truly stunned by this, Jónsi's solo album. A collection of the quote-unquote 'Happy' music that he writes found it's way here, and we the listeners, fans and friends benefit greatly from this outpouring. While Sigur Rós as a band tends towards grandiose melencholy (with the possible exception of their most recent album 'Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust') Jónsi here takes things in an entirely and surprising new direction. There are many beautiful and, quite frankly, uplifting moments to be experienced as Jónsi allows us passage on this great journey. Long may this trip last!

Seriously, it's like there are unicorns and rainbows everywhere!
My title says it all. This album just puts me in this imaginative place (with no LSD, MJ, or even alcoholic assistance). The melodies on this are transformative. Read more
