Sting Ray ..stop trolling and go back to your Grateful Dead album. You have no clue.......

Wow. There's quite a lot of Sigur Rós hate here.

We know: there are a million true SICKOS out there. The majority of them must be Sigur Ros fans. A really gave them a chance. I listened to each song of 4 albums. I did not find a SINGLE (!!!!!!!!!!!!!) song that did not pain the hell out of me.
Ridiculous this terrible supersweet violin-coating over each and any song. No rythm, hardly any melody and this sickening "language".
The whole SR-thing is a hoax. It can't be nothing else. How old might their fans (fans??? really???) be? Twelve? Just eight? Liking lullabies? Or are they even adults? Grannies maybe? I just can't figure it out.
I read about them, downloaded their albums and was terrified. I deleted all! Then I read again, wondered if I had been ignorant and loaded the same albums again and gave them a real chance another time. Same thing: I could hardly stand a single song. This pussy-attitude. This whining. This childish melancholy. Please point out a single, just ONE (!) single song of quality and I take anything said back and download that song a third time for good!

Really angry,
Hoppipolla - tttzzzzzzzz....!!!!!
Stingray

This song is really groovy...  I like it...

These guys are great when taken in proper doses

That is so on my list of things to add around here.  In the meantime I found a much better image.

It's worse, it looks like a low-resolution scan with moiré-effects which was then heavily compressed and upscaled. I don't think there's an "upload album art" option on this site however...

Dunno how I'd react to this at another time, but at the moment it's perfectly suited to my mood.

Rated this a 5 the first time I heard it, but suddenly in this evening's set it's sounding more like a 7 or 8. Context is SO important... :^)

Ah, that is such an amazing piece of music!

All of the Sigur Ros I've heard on RP has been pure aural Mogadon. In my blow-smoking days I'd have loved this stuff, laid out on a bean bag with a trumpet spliff in hand and a can of Red Stripe in reach, as the music's so laid-back it's comatose. When straight, though,  it's the very definition of Ho-Hum. If only I could retire and start smoking again... :*)

You know, I thought the exact same thing. Olsen² ? I suspect they have no idea who the Olsen Twins are (at least, I'd hope they've not contaminated Iceland) but you never know.  Nothing personal against the poor kids, I just think they represent the culture of empty fame more than anyone else in the country now... even Paris.

Jeezus, that cover photo is so severely destroyed by compression artifacts that it is approaching abstract art by way of white noise.
Someone ul a better alternative, like the one on wikipedia.

Mary-Kate and Ashley?

Ahhh.... as soon as I heard the first strains of reverb-soaked vocals, I ran (virtually) to the playlist to confirm, and a fervent "YESSSS....." slid from my lips. Loving this band even more than I already did since seeing "Heima" this past weekend...     

A little Polyphonic Spree -esque.
Not like that's a bad thing...

Very good to hear something so "not so" common on RP
Edit: Second listen...loving this now.

Except Sigur Ros had the hardcore-reverb, uninterpretable high-pitched.. style.. about 8 years before "Z" was came out.

feels like meething god or some saint with this music

Them fellers do the Hopelandic reeel purdy!

Great background music - oh! Is this my floor? Excuse me, getting off...

Holy "My Morning Jacket" Batman

Good after-dinner after-Jefferson Starship tune. Interesting music.

After about 10 minutes of this tune I remember why I gave it such a low rating.

Once in while these guys come up with a good tune --- like this one!

7.

Um...is this song about Mary-Kate and Ashley...?

(Get it?! The Olsen twins?! Aaaahhh, nevermind.)

Wow this has a great build! It's impossible to tell where it will end up when it starts. This is great.
