Ditto. AB is sooooooooo fucking beautiful and dreamy, it makes me go :dopey:

That said, it took me a year to appreciate it fully. The vocals are inhuman (in a good way).

That album is beautiful, very accessible for them, if you like that album then you will love Takk, it's brilliant.
 
few things > ( ) >> AB >>> Takk... >>>>>>>> rest

It is proved that your favorite is the first you have listened to. Works with me.

I don't find SR dreamy except on Takk maybe . AB and ( ) are painfully sad to me , especially the last half of ( )

The first I heard was Von, but I didn't give it a proper chance, the first one I really HEARD was AB, and it has been blowing me away over and over ever since.
I just got Takk, loving it a lot, but I am not going to pass any judgement yet, it will need many, many more hours. Still haven't heard ( ) unfortunately.
I find some of their music very sad, but most of it quite beautiful and optimistic, but maybe that's because I am generally in a good mood when I listen to it, their music is very much open to interpretation, which is one of the things I love about it.
 
Yeah, the new one is pretty good (but I haven't given it nearly enough time).

I also have not heard ( ).
 
I have been listening to Takk the last few days, everyone here should listen to Svo Hljótt, then make a judgement.
Dick and Dev, do you guys like Mogwai?
