Real game of 2 halves though that LP as the final 4 songs I find pretty dull, just never been able to get into them. 'Takk' is pretty great, has a bit of a weak mid-section but the first 2 tracks were quite tough to follow. 'Med Sud....' I quite like, liked the new style with 'Gobbledi****', it's a mixed bag record but there's a lot to admire. Never bothered with 'Von', not heard much praise for it, always too many highly-regarded LPs to pick up.

Fabulous, unique band everyone should hear.

I agree that ( ) drags a bit but Untitled 8 is surely not dull? It's one of the most exciting climaxes to a piece I've heard in my life.

From ( ) I love tracks 1, 4 and 8. But Unititled 8 is for me the best.
Although I don't know all discography yet, I have a feeling this track is the best song of Sigur Rós :bowdown:

The first track off of () is insanely emotional. I can't listen to it unless I'm already sad.



Takk is my favorite album from them as of yet. I'm looking forward to their new one since they say it's more in their older style.

I love this. This is actually what I think I want played at my funeral (as grim as that may seem).

Jared Leto said the same thing.. well actually "Sigur Rós Untitled #1 or anything by Aphex Twin"

Today I had finally a time for another album - Takk...
I like it a lot because I love Sigur Rós, but my personal winner is still album ( ) :love:

( ) definitely has dull parts (around 5/6) but I still love it. When I'm feeling down I find I can listen to the whole thing without doing anything else. It's a very beautiful album.

Did you get Ágætis Byrjun yet? If you liked ( ) you'll love Ágætis Byrjun, their best album in my opinion.

I can't wait for their new album to be released :D hopefully it'll be as epic as Ágætis Byrjun and ( )

Not yet :( I have for now three albums.
But I will get it as soon as possible and than I will write my opinion.
