haha....................

I love Sigur Ros and their best album is ()

Yeah, ( ) is my favourite as well. It's been really nice to see this band explode over the past 4 or 5 years. I thank the BBC for that in the UK.

Hvarf-Heim is out next month, people. Thoughts? For the benefit of those unaware of this new CD, it's basically a double album with unreleased goodies and acoustic versions of the songs we already know.

If I'm honest, I won't be rushing out to buy this. I'll be waiting until it's £5.

I like them, but they are so ambient I have trouble remembering some tracks.

For the first couple of listens the whole middle section of ( ) disappeared completely from my memory. The first and last tracks made an immediate impact though.

Same here

Nice background music but not the sort of band i'd choose a single song to listen to

Pitchfork: Sigur Ros Working on New Album With Flood

I love Sigur Ros

best way to listen to them is to put on a big pair of headphones and drift away. Best album is '()' every track is just beautiful. Background music?? Blaaghh

() is beautiful. It feels like one track the way it flows. Some of their other albums have a great track or two, but on the whole don't stand up to ().

I agree 100% on headphones for the true experience. My favorite way to listen to any music is to smoke a few bowls, put on the headphones, lay on the carpet and close my eyes. That kind of immersion is what music is all about to me. Let the music take over...

That's probably because there is 36 seconds of silence seperating the two halves of the album.

() is my favorite tooooo.

i think i like it most because it's not in an actual language, so it can mean whatever i want it to.

and i don't like not knowing what they're saying in the other albums.
