[SPOILER ALERT: don't read if you havn't heard the new cd yet and want to wait before knowing anything] I actually found the new cd pretty boring. I don't know where to start really. The whole cd was very dark and morbib. If Agaetis was angelic and filled with beautiful landscapes of meadows and coastal regions, ( ) was dark and filled with dispair...not giving much to the user landscape-wise. It was pretty gothic sounding to me...and that was a bad thing. To much emphasis on fancy drumming nearly drew me to stop the cd. That was one aspect I got really sick of soon; way too much fancy tom / cymbal work. It got really boring fast. Minimal piano. Minimal string arrangements. His voice wasn't as good and most of the songs you really coulnd't sing on the way home from work...if you didn't want to look like you were screaming to yourself that is. The only redeming part of the whole cd is the epic last song...where it takes the listener into quite a complicated drum section in the latter part doing an almost drill n bass / speed drumming number. There wasn't enough snare in my opinion. If you like the sound of brush drumming you'll be in heaven cause thats pretty much all you'll find on here. The whole cd, despite sounding extremely linked together, was really awful and I cannt recommend this cd to anyone! Agaetis was so much to me both musically and emotionally...this one just seems really...not there. What a disappointment... |

i completely and utterly disagree with you. but i see where you're coming from. it is sort of repetitive, but i still find it to be far better than Agaetis Bjurnim. plus, i found it to be very conducive to image producing etc. Great album, 4 out of 4 stars. |

i felt the same way at first...but listen to it more often and you'll start to appreciate it alot more ( well at least i did) Anyway...Sigur Ros...that's like so two days ago...It's all about the new GYBE! |

i feel the same way as hewhocannotbena... was dissapointed when i listened to it for the 1st time, but it definitly grew on me. It's more minimal than Agaetis, but once it grabs you, just as emotionally moving. I actually think i'm not going to bother with the new GYBE! (or GY!BE). When i bought their first album i thought it was the most amazing thing i ever heard. Then i bough the ep... and it was just more of the same, but okay... still great music, i enjoyed it. Then i bought the 3rd cd, and it were just four more of the same kind of songs. It gets so predictable! The first time i heard GYBE it felt new and exciting, now i can predict how their songs are gonna end when i hear the first few seconds. They haven't evolved even a little bit... shame. I read the new album was pretty much the same formula all over again... i'm just gonna skip it. It's kind of like buying the same album for the 4th time. |

yeah.. '( )' is a grower i got bored with it the first listen too its definitely different from agaertis byrjun.. at first listen it seems inferior..but after a while, you'll begin to appreciate it as its own album it seems expectations ruin too many good albums for people.. im sure if '( )' was released first, people would have been disappointed with agaertis byrjun as a followup ..and you could probably say that for a lot of albums |

I will say it's a grower aswell. At first i was disappointed but I kept needed to hear it agian. It calls to me. I think his voice is so much better. It is so smooth. Though, I completely see where you are coming from Amonbrune. A lot of rythmic drumming. |
