I like this album, lots of great tracks. However, I felt like it had a similar energy, aggressiveness, weight as ( ) - but without the same soulful wholesomeness. I like the sound that they went for, but it seemed a little less inspired than other albums. That being said, Rafstraumur and the first half of Brennistein are perfect. I enjoyed Hrafntinna a lot, too.
I don't know if I'm ready to toss a rating to it yet, though.
