Critic Reviews

His ability to make the music frantic and playful but ground it with lyrics about fireworks, trees, and breezes connects keeps the album from floating into an abstract mess.

As his main band disappears into “indefinite hiatus”, console yourself with the knowledge that Birgisson has just made the best record of his career.

Go’s biggest surprise—that shouldn’t really be a surprise—is Jónsi’s remarkable vocal performances.

While Go isn’t as groundbreaking as Sigur Rós’ Byrjun, it most definitely plays to Jónsi’s strengths and provides a listen that is consistently thrilling and rewarding.

The Sigur Rós singer fights huge with huger on his solo debut, matching the uplift of his full-time band at their most dramatic.

There are layers aplenty on the album; frequently you are reminded of a 4AD record, as an ambient swirl is lifted aloft by a beguiling vocal line.

Jónsi sounds as if he’s been snatched up in the claws of some mythical bird, whooping with childlike exhilaration.

Though each moment is just as creative as the next, Go does suffer from some stylistic inconsistency.

Day 156 (Go by Jónsi)
Demon Month- 5/30
Beautiful. Idk why this has a 75 because it deserves much higher, 9.1/10
Fiquei curioso em conhecer esse artista ao saber que ele é compatriota da minha querida Björk, ambos islandeses, e me surpreendi com esse disco, a voz dele é linda, gostei muito da voz, ela prende você do início até o fim do álbum, a produção é ótima, sua sonoridade carrega um post-rock mesclado com pop barraco, é um disco muito interessante, recomendo muito, é um ótimo álbum.

Day 156 (Go by Jónsi)
Demon Month- 5/30
Beautiful. Idk why this has a 75 because it deserves much higher, 9.1/10
simplesmente maravilhoso, do começo ao fim, como tudo que o Jónsi faz. é tão otimista e esperançoso quanto é melancólico e depressivo, mas harmoniza de um jeito lindo esses dois elementos antônimos. as letras foram o que mais me pegaram, coisa maravilhosa. mensagens claras de autoaceitação, inseguranças, decepções etc. maravilhoso. arte. simplesmente Jónsi.
feliz aniversário Jónsi!!!
I don't think we talk enough about how insane it is that a man can sound like this, like what is going on in Iceland. Go captures this dreamy, wild and mystical feeling that perfectly compliments Jónsi's other worldly vocals. Insane.
