They're just brackets. Probably reflective of the fact the whole album is sung in vonlenska.

I don`t know it! :confused:

maybe they could not find a proper name for that masterpiece

Probably. :)

my favorite two songs off the album are untitled #2 & #4

1 (vaka), 3 (samskeyti), 4 (njosnavelin) and 8 (popplagio) for me. :D 2 (fyrsta) and 6 (E-bow) being honorable mentions... ;)

The first part is my fave :D

mine 3,4,6,8 and well why not 1 &2? :D

8 (popplagio). It's epic. :D

may i have the album of ()? :D

or maybe some kind of links? :smug:

pm me, please! thanks a bunch :)

Sigur Rós is the first band that managed to make me cry in a concert, because it was so magical... I can't even describe it. (L)

:shocked2: I`ve never heard it but i think i must do it!:o

... ok () album has untitled songs?... :confused:

 

on my music player it shows the name :uhoh: on [ ] but don't say untitled :confused:

I think it depends how you got it. On the actual album none of the tracks have names, so they're referred to as untitled 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. However because that gets kind of annoying, there are other names that the tracks go by like "Vaka" and "Fyrsta". If you got the tracks online, they may have already substituted the secondary names.

() Great concept.

1. "Untitled #1 (Vaka)" (6:38)
   
2. "Untitled #2 (Fyrsta)" (7:33)
   
3. "Untitled #3 (Samskeyti)" (6:33)
   
4. "Untitled #4 (Njósnavélin)" (7:33)
   
5. "Untitled #5 (Álafoss)" (9:53)
   
6. "Untitled #6 (E-Bow)" (8:48)
   
7. "Untitled #7 (Dauðalagið)" (13:00)
   
8. "Untitled #8 (Popplagið)" (11:45)

And I've been so lucky to have seen them 3 times last year.

 

The first time was at Rock Werchter, but I only knew Ágætis Byrjun a little bit. It was amazing, they blew me away. Since then I bought all their albums in like 1,5 month time.

Then I saw them on a dutch festival Lowlands, which was the magical experience I talked about before. Wonderfull.

 

Last november they played in Amsterdam and I went there, but then I got a phonecall, there was a complication with my sisters surgery. So I couldn't enjoy the concert so much and left after 6 songs. I wasn't able to listen to Sigur Rós for a few months, because now their music connected me to that stupid day of my sisters surgery.

 

Now I'm at a point I can enjoy it again, and I'm glad, because it's such a special band with great music.

 

 

@ Gilda: Go listen to their music, very fast! You won't regret it :)

I think it's amazing how they're one of those bands that you can enjoy at a concert with out knowing a lot of the music that you're actually listening to. At almost any other concert, if I only knew a few of the songs, I would not enjoy myself. But, for instance, at the Sigur Ros concert I went to last October- I knew about 6 of the songs they played, and even though the rest was completely foreign to me (since then I've listened to it all, though), it was still an amazing experience. I think that's definitely one way you can tell if a band is truly brilliant or not.

Anyone else find it interesting that both Jonsi and Thom Yorke have serious eye conditions? Jonsi is blind in his right eye and Thom is mostly blind in his left.

Maybe it's some necessary ailment that you need to have to be a really, really good singer. :P

I am almost blind and sing horrible

what a way to bump
