It seems like I love European music more and more when I hear Sigur Ros' music. I came from the Philippines, but even though I don't know what they're saying, their music appeals to me- right through my soul. I think I don't care what the translation of the lyrics are, just to be able to hear this kind of music makes me happy. Keep it up, Sigur Ros.
None of the pronunciations I'm finding by Icelandic people actually sounds like any of these. It sounds more like " Siyur rosh", if I had to give a written transcription of it. Could be wrong, though.
no because the icelandic "g" is prodominantly pronounced softly like Scottish loch, the reason for the "e" on the end is because i like roses and its pronounce that way :)
arriba mexico!!!...notaron que estaban tomando una Modelo (CERVEZA 100% mexicana) en lata??...parte de este video fue grabado en las playas de jalisco...
Sigur Ros was the most spiritual and engaging show ever.
I love you guys!
I was the girl in the crazy blue dress Detroit show at the fillmore in Sept. I was first in line by 5 hours, and I shared a Cigarette with one of you and the lead singer man, you ran over my toe on your bike. and I got the drumsticks. Remember? I know I do.
great experience thank u for sharing... the times that i had the chance of going to their concerts had been allways in most marvelous places. heavenly like stuff.
haha can't believe I got thumbed down! Do you people actually think this is their best album? 'Cos if you do, you haven't heard much Victory Rose music...
And listen to The Doves - Pounding, it does sound similar.
You couldn't say that about '()' or 'ágætis byrjun': they sounded unique, unlike this newer, more commercial sound they have on 'Takk' and 'með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust'
Now someone reply if you don't agree... no more thumbing! :D
i totally agree with you, but this new album does give people who have a little bit less knowledge of the genius behind the former albums the feeling of sigurrós, because its more pumped up, more pop music, they are just letting people know that they can also rock!!
people have their own opinions, dude. deal with it.
i think takk... is their best album. doesn't mean everything else they do sucks. i love everything they've done. takk... just has that feeling for me. my friend thinks von was their best album. it has that feeling for him.
also, the doves' pounding sounds also a lot like snow patrol's chocolate. what's your point? i consider all three songs to be individual, unique creations even though they share a simple drum beat.
i find sigur rós to be very unique in all their musical endeavors. i'm sorry you don't. and i didn't know you were the authority on what sigur rós should and shouldn't sound like. i thought that choice remained with, you know, the band themselves. but i guess not!
also, my previous comment is MY OPINION which is what you asked for. you never asked whether or not takk... was better, so there is no agreement. sigh, so much effort!
lastly, i didn't know sigur rós had to meet ANY standards.
Yes, and my comment was also an opinion, and yes, I am entitled to suggest what they should and shouldn't sound like, as a fan who owns most of their music.
I asked people for their opinion, instead of thumbs, and that's what I got, so I'm happy. Why are you being so arsey? Just because I don't preempt every sentence with "I believe, personally, not to offend anyone with differing perspectives..." doesn't mean it's not an opinion. Stop acting so offended; you're not in the band.
i'm arsey and offended because your earlier post said that people who liked this album best must not have heard much sigur rós and that's not the case. i own everything they've recorded. i've heard every song. just because i like takk... over ( ) and ágætis byrjun does not mean i lack taste in sigur rós's music. same thing goes for people who enjoy this album or any of their albums.
i can't stand ungrateful fans. it's not their job to cater to you. their job is to make music they like. end.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ungrateful fans? I am grateful for the good usic they produce. Every artist has had blips. Dylan was slated when he went electric, Metallica lost fans when St Anger didn't contain guitar solos. ETC ETC ETC.
No, there job is to provide a service, as artists. If it wasn't for fans, they wouldn't exist.
My comment was an opinion - deal with it. Clearly you take everything at face value. You are also incapable of taking criticism, so fuck off.
Music is subjective, but it isn't beyond criticism.
if you're so grateful, then stop acting like people who enjoy this album the most don't know what they're talking about when it comes sigur rós's music!
people who stop being fans when an artist goes in a different direction wasn't a fan to begin with. a fan respects the choices an artist makes whether they like it or not. you think artists start writing music to get fans? no, they do it b/c they want to and b/c they love it. fans are something that come with time.
i think theyre sounding better than ever nowadays and they were being great already in the earlier days. they sound more honest know i think. they sound more enthusiastic for shure!!!
i did i speech about you guys for my speeh and debate class. i did in Expository speech (meanings, theres displays and pictures) and i finaled with it!! i got 6th place out of 10 though.
hey dude are you from indonesia? hahaha.. I'm Indonesian and i just watched sigurros in Boston last month.. they made the best sound on EARTH.. haglel Sigur Rós!!

Anything else you would like 'clearly mentioning' again =)
