starcad From my personal point of view by far her best album. Wonderfully spooky and beautifully arranged. The vocals are phenomenally good and deep. The whole album is a favorite of mine, the whole and each of its parts. And definitely in the special edition with 12 songs and 1 hour running time. Real masterpiece.

Thomas C. Choosing a favourite track here is nearly impossible cause you need to experience this gorgeous album in full, from beginning to end, much like Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. Love how Sóley creates a grim atmosphere to convey the environmental destruction of the planet. The album cover is also wonderfully designed by her husband Ibbagoggur and suits the music like the best album art. But despite the darkness of Mother Melancholia there are also songs where you can feel the light getting in Favorite track: In heaven.

danielhabib the final crescendo at "Sundown" is sublime.
like a farewell from someone/ something you really wish would stay just a bit longer Favorite track: Sundown.
