Sigur Ros

KrintixXaneris · 11-09-2002, 12:11 PM

Some people may have heard a song or two off the first album (and usually not in its entirity), but has anyone heard the new album? Its called "( )", has 8 untitled tracks, and is 72 minutes long. Best music I've heard in my life I think, especially the build up to the last track. I'd recommend it to anyone who doesn't really care about lyrics (since its all sung in a language made up by the lead singer, called Hopelandic) but really enjoys amazing instrumental work.

Their new album is pretty cool. Great music to listen to, and the album cover is pretty trippy.

The new album isn't as good as Aegetis Bjyrn, or even Von.

Vaka is a great track, one of their best ever, but the rest of the tracks on the album just sort of blends into each other. I've listened to the album over 20 times now, and I still can't tell E-bow from Fyrsta or Alafoss.

Still, Sigur Ros worst is still miles better than most any other band's best. Very worth picking up, but I'd get Aegetis Bjyrn first.

I guess its a matter of perspective, but I really like the less polished sound of ( ). It would probably hard for a lot of people to listen to because 80% of it is so slow, but its great to listen to in traffic.
