what do you think of the new album from sigur rós?...Not as good as older stuff, still good music but ?!... doesn't really touch me like their older material. Less experimental, less slow building crescendos and ecstatic peaks...maybe "sad - pop"???...I'll need several more listenings... give it more time… |

I only heard the single, and it made me think of Animal Collective, which is interesting. I should listen to it

Von - Pretty good.
Ágætis Byrjun - Awesome. ( ) - Awesome. My favorite. Takk... - Good. Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust - Shit. Aside from Gobbledigook and maybe two other songs, this is dreadfully boring to sit through. |

it's good, not as awful as the cunt album or agatas bjorn but not as good as takk.
--- i wish i knew how to make those images that look like motivational posters but if i could, i'd do one with this one: "SIGUR RÓS: because slint can't be understood by elves" |

Sigur Ros = Music for people who become a burden on society with their whinging and depression.

I was way disappointed when it wasn't all like that single.

I really like it. Extremely peaceful and conceptually unique from any of the band's previous material. It has a personality of it's own, and that's what I expect from a Sigur Ros album. Overall I'm really enjoying this so far.

I like the new album. It's very different from their other albums which is nice. I like when bands don't get stuck in ruts. I don't know yet whether I prefer Takk over this, but either way I think it is a very good record.

This thread has convinced me not to buy it. Thanks, The Swarm.
But Gloppitgoo or whatever sounds like In Rainbows. Like, a lot like it. |

I think I liked Hvarf/Heim, but then I ended up having to review it for a newspaper thing, and all of a sudden I felt like I had to be more critical or something. It's the only CD I've had to genuinely review for publication, so it sits forever in a strange limbo of not really knowing what I actually think of it. But Hliómalind is one of their best songs, I think.
Now I kind of want to get the new one. Stop influencing me. |

Wow. I never thought my opinion carried so much influence! Thanks for the vote of confidence. The thing I like about Sigur Ros is that they seem to evolve from one release to the next, and the new album is no exception. You can never second guess them. Although 'Hoppipolla' is probably one of my favourite tracks of all time, I think that the new album is more rounded and consistent than Takk. I'm yet to see them live - never quick enough to get a ticket One day....
