ricardo Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 good? I'm always on a Sigur Rós phase, but right now I'm on agaetiys byrjun phase. God I just cant choose a favourite albom of theirs! Agaetis Byrjun: sort of more relaxin and atmospheirc album with a a lot of use of electronic and string stuff. (): Well, it's the same as agaetis byrjun, but this one they use only the traditional instruments and piano, and even Jonsi's voice becomes just another instrument. Takk: A mix of both, with, an art album. með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust: a more acoustic album Von: their debut But all of their albums are magical and perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grids Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 recently, im listening to hoppipolla and its such an amazing song! Brosandi Smiling Hendumst í hringi Spinning round and round Höldumst í hendur Holding hands Allur heimurinn óskýr The whole world a blur nema þú stendur But you are standing Rennblautur Soaked Allur rennvotur Completely drenched Engin gúmmístígvél No rubber boots Hlaupandi inni í okkur Running inside us Vill springa út úr skel Want to erupt from a shell Vindurinn The Wind og útilykt af hárinu þínu An outdoor smell of your hair Ég anda eins fast og ég get I breathe as hard as I can með nefinu mínu with my nose Hoppípolla Jump into puddles Í engum stígvélum With no boots on Allur rennvotur(Rennblautur) completely drenched(Soaked) Í engum stígvélum With no boots on Og ég fæ blóðnasir And I get a nosebleed En ég stend alltaf upp but I always stand up Og ég fæ blóðnasir And I get a nosebleed En ég stend alltaf upp but I always stand up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricardo Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I just can't understand how a band like Sigur Rós exist, god send them !!! ok that was a bit exagerate :P, but am I the only one who feels transported by their music? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I don't think many people aren't transported by their music when they hear it. Coming from iceland, it's like they're untainted by the flaws and patterns in western music today. Never heard anything like it. They brought a whole new alien, musical civilization into light.

ricardo Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I think they're unique, no band is close to them, I mean, other post rock bands aren't as magic as them, the classical and art rock influence on them makes them an unequaled band. I'm an ecologist dude who loves nature, but when I listen to Sigur Rós, I love our earth even more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnspieler1012 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I don't really correlate Sigur Ros with the earth anymore than the next band. If anything they makes me love music and man's advances in creativity even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A RUSH OF VIDA Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Do they sing in English or ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 They sing mostly in icelandic, however several songs an album are sung partially or entirely in "Hopelandic" which is made up of nonsense syllables that don't really mean anything. Their only song sung in English is the very last song of their latest album, called "All Alright". P.S.: If you haven't checked them out yet, DO SO IMMEDIATELY!!! (don't be dismayed by the language barrier, most of their songs are so beautiful, you won't care) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnspieler1012 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Definitely. I love how in Viorar vel til loftarasa and Olsen Olsen, the vocals are very soft and distant. Vocals can sometimes destroy other wise beautiful tracks. But in so many of their tracks it becomes just another instrument. Melodic and distinguishable, but modestly in the backdrop.

Tnspieler1012 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 It's the crescendo to end all crescendo's. Exhausting to watch. I will say I'm glad "Takk" was completely different though, I couldn't have taken two more album's of those slow-building, ten minutes epics.
