|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
glósoli is quite fantastic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and it's a good thing they're singing in icelandic again. that whole hopelandish thing was a bit silly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've got tix to see them in november! Woopdewooppppp! I will wait for the release, I think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
listening to glasoli now.. its great! the heavy part after that loooong buildup gives me fukkin goosebumps! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
uhm yeah, glosoli was the name... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heard some ofthe new stuff on their tour this year, was really amazing, going to wait for the album though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haven't heard it but I like each successive Sigur Ros release more and more so I'm expecting good stuff. If it's not as good as ( ) I'm going to be like, ''darn''. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd reckon it's quite a bit better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Hufupukar" - have a line that sounds like nannou |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's prety good yeah..everything i expected! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyone hear that 'da-da-ti-ki-di-do' (or something like that) e.p. from a while back? it's pretty electronic.. I probably would never think it was them if I heard it without knowing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
man, this album can make me cry.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It makes me cry because it's so bad lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you liked their previous work? |
||||||||
|
|

Ágætis Byrjun is pretty nice, if a little too long. ( ) is very boring but has some rare good moments. I thought this new album would just be boring, but it's way worse than what I expected. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I borrowed Ágætis Byrjun from my friend on Friday. I haven't listened to the album in a while and it still hits hard. I'm nuked and waiting for it to finish downloading. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not really a fan of agaetis byrjun, but () is one of my favourite albums of all time. I heard a few of the new tracks just under two weeks ago when I saw them live. They were amazing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hotdamn, this is good. I don't know why I had low expectations, forgive me sigurros, you rule. Sæglópur is amazing so far... its all way more noisy than the older stuff in a overdiven-godspeed-MBV way, just what I like! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Track 4 on their first cd,,,the grey one, is so damn beautiful I can't even listen to it anymore because when I try to go to sleep, the haunting melodies creep into my head and I can't get them out. What a curse! |
||||||||
|
|

i enjoy takk, but it sounds more like a collection of songs than an album. and mostly b-sides, at that. i think they listened to chinatown by do make say think a bit too much while making it. it just doesn't have that keep-you-warm-in-winter sound that makes ( ) a perfect album to me. but i'm going to keep listening to it as i think it'll grow (more small minute details happen in the background than of any other album i've heard in a long while). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i enjoy this and everything they put out, but after what - 3 albums(?) - their shit sounds like it could be released on any record in any order and still sound "acclaimed." Can we say this shit is formulaic now? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Shit aaaand shit. Got it. |
||||||||
|

wow..... you're soooooooo sophisticated on the internets. Its a messageboard. Its colloquial. Get over it. |

Take a chill pill |

I'm pretty chill. Thanks you for looking out for my well being. |

Drums on #8 is pretty tight |

It's music |

The lead singer sounds gay. Is he or something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is that really important for you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

He is, actually gay. |

I like this album. SOunds simple and clean and dreamy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I haven't been seeking out every sigur album though. So I'm not too jaded on their sound. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lucky duck. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Saw them last night in Montreal. Sublime. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes. :] 'ba ba ti ki di do' is excellent. I need to buy this 'takk' album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, i love this album and this is final. question for icelanders - what are their lyrics like? silly, or just simple and heartbreaking? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm sure I hear the 'you sigh low, you so' thing that was all through ( )... although I might be imagining it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Gawd, at the end of Vanilla Sky when they were on the rooftop and they played that song that Clint refers to made me tear up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Man... they sang it on every song on that album. But I know the one you mean :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is sigur ros on the discography, I can't seem to find it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sigur ros always have great videos, but this is pretty special even by their standards. i love it to fucking death |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I never understood an album as a context. It's just songs collected together. I never listen to albums in one shot, anyway. I could care less if a track following another track makes no sense back to back. |
||||||||
|

|
connection refused. :( |

I'm really enjoying Takk at the moment, its virtually perfect. Impressed. I reccomend anyone to drive around at night with Saeglopur on loud. PS glosoli vid torrent here |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I want to reopen Tolst's question, Im curious what kind of stuff they sing about? And yeah I can hear 'you sigh low' in lots of Takk songs |
||||||||

SIgur Ros is one of my favorite bands..i love them..icelandic music culture is amazing..a fusion btwen organic sounds,acoustic instruments,electronic beats and beauty voices creating one of the best music landscapes in the world..i could also recomend another icelandic band call "MUM" .

I'm really in love with Andvari at the moment. Only Sigur Ros would put a repeating two minute string ostinato slap bang in the middle of a major label rock album. |
||||||||

I havent loved a new album this much in a long time now. Its absolute genius. I'm in the obsessive stage. My lunch breaks consist of sitting in the car listening to Takk. Video for Hoppipolla is gorgeous as well by the way |
||||||||

well...I haven't listened to their stuff in quite a while but I could try and answer this question. I'm not 100% percent on most of this but I'm pretty sure :). Many of their lyrics are rather poetic and hard to translate. Von was all sung in Icelandic. I think most of Ágætis byrjun was sung in Icelandic. One of my favourite songs there, Flugufrelsarinn (the Fly Freer/Saviour), has a kinda silly theme but the lyrics are still nice. It's about a boy, who makes a ship or a raft to save some flies from drowning. All of () was sung in Hopelandic. I can't remember hearing Icelandic in there. The fact that they started singing in some made up language kinda made the album a little less enjoyable for me. I know Jónsi likes to use his voice as an instrument but i liked having lyrics that meant something and made some sense. For those who can't understand Icelandic it probably didn't change that much. (It might have though, since he sometimes does nothing but to repeat the same nonsense over and over). I've only listened to Takk once (I really don't know why, I liked it from what I can remember, I just kinda forgot about it). I'm pretty sure that most of it was sung in Icelandic, since the majority of track titles are in Icelandic. I would have to listen to it again to tell you what was being sung on it. Sometimes it's kinda hard to hear wether he's making any sense or not because he singing is sometimes rather strange. |
