Did anyone else think this to be the case?
At any rate, I won't pass judgement until I've heard it a few more times. Back later!

Yeah, it's definitely heavier. Have just given it a listen through, I felt it was a bit mediocre/drifting up until halfway through the album and then Stormur/Kveikur/Rafstraumur came up, I absolutely loved those three tracks and with them one after the other it really kick started the album. Stormur a bit more progressive and ethereal/mellowed out for this album but brought crashing back with title track. Raf a mix of both and the icing on the cake.
Christ I hate trying to sound sincere when talking about Sigur Ros. Decent album though, i'll just leave it at that.
