Inni (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈɪnːɪ], Within) is a live motion picture and album by the Icelandic band Sigur Rós, released in 2011. The concert footage was directed by Vincent Morisset and filmed at Alexandra Palace in 2008. It was released on 7 November 2011 in various formats, including vinyl, DVD, Blu-ray, and CD. Theatrical versions were shown around the world in late 2011.
The release features live tracks from all but one of the band's albums, with a strong focus on their then-most recent album, Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust. Two tracks, "Ný Batterí" and "Festival", were made available for free download on the band's website, and "E-Bow" was also offered as a free download with every pre-order of the package.
Editions
The commercial package for Inni was released in five different editions:
'Digital download' edition: Includes the motion picture on .mp4 and/or album in .wav or .mp3.
'Standard' edition: Features the motion picture on DVD and the album on double CD.
'Blu-ray' edition: Contains the motion picture on Blu-ray and DVD, and the album on double CD.
'Vinyl/DVD' edition: Includes the motion picture on DVD and the album on both double CD and triple vinyl.
'Limited special' edition (6996 copies): Released in Iceland, this edition features special packaging, the Blu-ray, DVDs (NTSC and PAL versions), double CD, a 7" coloured vinyl of the song "Lúppulagið" and additional bonus material.
Inni has received mostly positive reviews from music critics. On Metacritic, which assigns a normalised score out of 100 based on reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 78, based on 18 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
Marc Hogan of Spin wrote: "After three-plus years without fresh Sigur Rós material, the real treat is the contemplatively buzzing, ambient finale "Lúppulagid"—an honest-to-goodness new song."
Melissa Maerz from Entertainment Weekly commented that "the DVD captures the 75-minute buildup of guitars, xylophones, piccolos, and frontman Jónsi's cherubic voice, until it reaches its epic finale on the ethereal new swooner Lúppulagid." Kevin Liedel from Slant Magazine awarded the album three out of five stars, writing: "Inni is beautiful and alluring, yes, but ultimately a recycled bit of nostalgia likely to please very few."

This edition also includes a hand-cut piece of the outfits the band wore during the two concerts, placed in a machine-numbered envelope in each copy. The film depicts three actors beginning this process in a highly stylized setting. Additionally, the movie was made available to watch on the band's official YouTube and Vimeo accounts.
