Wow... stunning... such an intense listen, for me anyways! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah it's good, a little embarassingly heroic sometimes but but very good |
||||||||

FUCKING RAD TRACK 8 IS one of my favourite songs ever when the song totally changes at about 5:00 or something and turns all..... amazing. i could die. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this album is amazing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah 8 is my fav for sure, wicked climax at the end. others are great too, fine album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
one thing i love about track 8 is how the drummer goes off at the end cuz in every other song he plays sooooooo sloooow |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if only we knew what he was saying...i read somewhere its a made-up language |
||||||||
|
|

Track three always makes me incredibly emotional. I bet next they'll do an r'n'b album backed with Hype Williams videos though, as now they've won an MTVE award which makes a pretty high standard for them to keep up to. |
||||||||

|
|
its good, but somehow i prefer agaetis byrjun :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, 'hopelandish' is what I think they call it. On the last album there was still plain icelandic (except for Olsen Olsen) but ( ) is all hopelandish I think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i liked agaetis byrjun better, personally... more variety there, in my opinion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ya it is made-up if you go to the website and see the lyrics page, the lyrics change to different words everytime you refresh it its kind of a cool idea cuz some words sound like english if you listen reeeel hard OH YEAH But i noticed in every song, he only uses about 10-15 words slapped together diffferently. In my head i hear him saying: you sat around the fire - you're so alone - you're so. ya |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh my goodness, I think this album is 10 times better then Agaetis... I don't know, from the first listen when I bought it, I knew this was something special... I can't understand a thing the guy is saying, but damn it's gorgeous! |
||||||||

|
I can't wait to hear the Queens of the Stone Age remix of Vaka/Untitled 1 That just sounds too fucked up to be anything less than amazing. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ya you kind of imagine him saying what you want to hear...or something |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i imagine "you sigh along" and "you saw the light" and in that one song its pretty clear he says "don't fail, don't you lie" |
||||||||
|
|

I don't get reviewers making such a big deal about the album title, and lack of song titles... who cares? Since when is it the songs titles that matter? It's the music... and you either like it or hate it, but please don't waste a review of an album talking about the lack of song titles... I just read a few reviews which were like that... it's stupid!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Were those the same reviewers that never failed to mention the record without adding 'glacier' or 'geysir' or 'volcanic' to the sentence? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
YAYAYAY sounds exact. thats the one with the reeeeeeaaaaalllly slow drum beat and on track 8 at the big "climax" part, after it all comes together and he starts singing in his really high voice - it sounds like he keeps repeating "don't you see" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Will give it a listen! ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Track three definately.......its so calming and relaxing, like being in a warm nice dream. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you have to listen to it from start to finish man... it's like a constant creschendo!! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
needs testacles. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i bet the vinyl is so tasty MMMMMMMMMM |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, it's gotta be better then the cd... I swear, I cut my mouth and throat up real bad when I swallowed it!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats why the knifes... |

Sigur Ros are fucking amazing. On my first hearing of ( ) I thought it had such a slow feeling to it.... Still want to hear the Sigur Ros and Radiohead collaboration. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there is no sigur ros\radiohead collaboration. anyways, yeah sigur ros are very good, ive had von on my computer for more than a year but havent listened to it yet, just skimmed it. i also agree with everyone else about track 8 on (), especially the ending, simply awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the sigur ros\radiohead collaboration is a fake from what i remember. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah it's a good release but I never liked how they stopped singing in Icelandic and began singing this so-called Hopelandish. The music has much more feeling if the text means something, for me at least. Flugufrelsarinn is a brilliant song and if you understand the lyrics it's an ever better song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
I saw a concert on mtv over a year ago and the guy was singing into his frigging guitar pick-up~ hence the ghostly effect. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sigur Ros and Radiohead did both contribute to a music/dance piece called a while ago, but I guess it doesn't really count as a collaboration as they didn't make any music together. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i also like this album a lot. it makes me think of radiohead meeting godspeed you! black emperor... my favourite track on () is the last one... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
apparently their next one will be more 'pop.' we'll see how that turns out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe, but I'd say it's fair to say that the majority of Sigur Ros's fans in the world can't understand even the straight Icelandic songs... so, I guess the music is powerful enough... I don't need to know what the guy is saying, cause it just sounds so beautiful... and when songs are vague as to their exact meaning, it's better imo, because you can apply it to many situations... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Extremely good album. And it's enough "quiet" to listen to when studying, writing a paper, and so on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
more pop would just be the style on ( ) with shorter songs and more complex melodies. i'm all for that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah it's powerful enough I guess and the fact that () hasn't got any icelandic lyrics doesn't make it a worse album. It's just a bit irritating... For those who didn't understand it in the first place, and even can't here that big of a difference, it doesn't matter i guess. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's a great album. I haven't listened to it in ages, but not because I'm bored of it... I just want to save up some energy so I can really sit down and cherish the moment some day when the weather and mood is right. ''the style on ( ) with shorter songs and more complex melodies. i'm all for that.'' I'm all for that too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I don't listen to it that much either... not because I get bored, but because it's so intense for me... this is some of the most emotional music in my cd collection... so, I can't listen to it all the time, cause I'll be too depressed and shit! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i find the album uplifting |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe, ok... in some places, but overall I find it pretty sad and stuff... |
