My future wife better like Sigur Ros, because this is happening.

Has anyone else heard Jonsi's project, Riceboy Sleeps? I think it's up there with some of the best Sigur Ros.

Yeah, fantastic stuff. Very reminiscent of 'Von'.

well, I like two of their records.

I thought Takk was awful.
Takk is one of my favourites along with ( )

Ágætis byrjun

Takk...
Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust

Pretty much the order they came out I guess, Ive never heard Von though.

This would be my list with Von ahead of Med Sud

Correction: I assumed you had () in front, but you did not.

That song "Starfulr" (I'm sorry if I butchered the spelling) that appeared on the "Life Aquatic" soundtrack was one of my favorites for a while, despite the fact that the lead singer reminds me of Nell.

In my opinion:

'()' Definatly the high water mark of their career so far. It's just a fantastic experience from beginning to end.
Ágætis Byrjun Another stunning piece of work, some really great tracks but doesn't have as much direction as '()'
Takk... The last half of the album is great, and Sæglopur is my fav SR song, but some tracks on the first half of the album go in one ear and out the other.
Með Suð í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaus A good album overall, some really great poppier songs on the first half of the album, but the last half really tests my attention and patience.
Von The least impressive in my opinion although has a couple of good tracks. Overall it sounds like a band trying to find their sound.
