Graham Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 I love ( ). Its one of my favourite albums. Bought tickets for the Glasgow gig tonight. Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer_eldritch Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 I am also going to look into this. Thanks for letting me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingsinatra Posted April 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 the ( ) album is utterly Brilliant, its a little different from agaetis Byrjun ( which is also utterly amazing) but is nonetheless a fantastic album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 anyone think it started to go wrong from the ( ) album.. onwards.... anyone...? *puts hand up*I'd agree with that. gtis Byrjun was a fantastic album' date=' [i']() was slightly poorer, and Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do was very disappointing indeed. I haven't heard Von yet, so I'm unable to comment on it. I can't really decide just why they've been getting progressively poorer with each release, but it seems to be a pattern they're following now, and it is a real shame. Perhaps they'll improve, perhaps not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't really decide just why they've been getting progressively poorer with each release, but it seems to be a pattern they're following now, and it is a real shame. Perhaps they'll improve, perhaps not.Von was very average indeed, there is perhaps 2 songs i'm into on that cd. Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do was also pretty poor, but i still think ( ) is an excellent album. It has a fantastic flow to it, something that gtis Byrjun lacks. As the band themselves state, in ( ) there is a big gap of silence, this is to separate the quite first half of the album, from the loud 2nd half. Each song flows nicely into one another. On gtis Byrjun, each song fits quite awkwardly next to its predecessor, which in some cases can be a good thing, but with Sigur Ros the flow works better. They are a band that you can drift off to, and that is why ( ) works better in my eyes (and ears).Note: gtis Byrjun is still a phenomenal album, i just feel that ( ) is not a step backward and am defending its corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingsinatra Posted April 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 nice to see so many sigur ros fans on here, i'm tired of all the threads on shitty emo or metal.......also if u like sigur ros check out " Mum" they are excellent.

Stafrnn Hkon's Ventil / Poki album is the most recent, and seems closer to Sigur Rs than the previous albums. The earlier albums are well worth checking out, but to my ears Ventil / Poki has much more form and substance.I'd recommend having a listen to Psapp if you're a fan of Mm, reminds me a lot of the playful glee that shone through on Finally We Are No One.

RossP Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 just bought my ticket for glasgow, and after an hour of translating a german booking site, i have my ticket for Berlin too.I read (badly translated) on this german site that ANIMAMINA are supporting, now i thought that was the string section of sigur ros, i could be wrong. i'm pretty sure they've released material of their own. maybe they mean Sigur Ros with ANIMAMINA playing with them, not supporting.

I have enough music with a dark edge in my collection, and I was hoping for more music-box prettiness with the album, and didn't really get it. Had it been my first Mm album, I think I would probably have loved it.Stafrnn Hkon was recommended to me by a pretty young lady working in One-Up when she saw me buying Mm's Duck Log EP, and I am very grateful for the introduction. The name "Psaap" does ring a bell, but I don't think I've heard anything by them, but this will be added to my ever-growing list of things to track down.Oh, and in answer to your previous question, I suspect your hearing will be impaired for at least a week after Mr Reznor has had his way with you.
