I love stories like that one Jay. There are some songs where I remember exactly where I was or what I was doing when I fell in love with it.

Awesome story, Alex.

Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust feels like a bloated caricature of Sigur Rós to me. "Ára Bátur" for example seems to follow the most typical Sigur Rós formula and it actually makes me laugh.

Agree about "Ísjaki" for sure, but "Brennisteinn" helps gives Kveikur an identity too. The first time I listened to the album and Brennisteinn came on as the opening track, I was like "Holy shit what's happening".

I see what you're saying about Vid spilum endalaust, it was like like they were trying for a more commercial sound. It reminds me of Jonsi's solo album, which I like quite a bit more, but I do like some of the shorter songs on there.

Valtari is my least favorite as you can see from my rainbow. Funny, I didn't really think it was possible to "blast" Sigur Ros :P But I'm always alone when I listen to them (#foreveralone).

Oh okay then :P

I've never heard of this band.

Post-rock band from Iceland. It's... not for everyone. But this is my favorite song by them and gives you a good idea of what they're like. I find that it's excellent music for focusing and writing.

Sigur Rós


Takk...
