''This song is Hopelandic; it has no lyrics.''
| Nat (Toronto, Canada) | Posted: May 26, 2011 - 16:10 I just played this at home and I thought, "That was tremendous, I wonder what kind of comments it got on RP." I was surprised and a little saddened to read so many negative comments. So I asked my daughter what she thought. "Good" she says. She's 5, and clearly knows what she's talking about! |

| jhorton | Posted: Sep 02, 2008 - 12:36 Of course I have no idea what this guy is ever saying, but I can't think of anyone who knows how to build drama in a song better than this guy. Me likee. |
| brewcity (Milwaukee, WI) | Posted: Sep 02, 2008 - 12:36 Wow that was really painful! Rather get a root canal then listen to the end of this song again!!!  |

| Thistle (Peg City) | Posted: Sep 02, 2008 - 12:33 Creepy, creative, arty, weird, cool. Wish I was in this band.... |
| jktravl (Virginia) | Posted: Sep 02, 2008 - 12:33 Probably the most interesting band to look out a window pane in a very long time. more sigur ros please! |

| donmatthews (the sun rises here daily) | Posted: Jul 01, 2008 - 07:59 when in the mood, lie on the sofa close your eyes and listen to the whole () album. Transforming... (I guess some of the critics here only will say "yeah, had a good sleep". Ain't so. Its more like going to a movie that has not been made yet, accoustical tickling triggering an epic saga and amazing landscapes. Very relaxing) majestic is a good word one of you used further below |

Insipid ---> repetitive ---> annoying ---> headache inducing ---> turn off my speakers before I throw them out the freaking window. I am finding myself having similar reactions to this band. I had this rated at 8--God only knows why--now down to 2. Sounds like a cat in heat. |

I have, and Sigur Ros is amazing live. Don't miss them if you get the chance. |

It's just a fixed association in my head now, overdone as the jokes may be: Sigur Ros = feline from hell |
| jncverhoef (Utrecht) | Posted: Feb 26, 2008 - 08:51 I´m really into this. It´s not exactly making me happy though :) |
| leftcoast (kirkland wa usa) | Posted: Feb 26, 2008 - 08:51 is this a "who died tragically" theme set? a long set, too....very long.... |

Wilco gone bad, which is redundant, come to think of it. Wilco gone badder. |

Not just you: I like to think of myself as "beautiful and hypnotic", too. |

| snemelc | Posted: Jul 21, 2007 - 09:51 Are there so many RP listeners who have a "buffer overrun" when listening to an elaborated piece of art longer than 3 minutes? If you let yourself free you can meditate in a finale furioso and can wake up repowered. Thx Bill! |
| GChevy410 (Seattle, WA) | Posted: Jul 21, 2007 - 09:49 I can recognize that I would normally hate this song, but at 10am Sunny Saturday morning in Seattle reading about wine with the windows open it is just perfect; 7. |

Today, it works!! Agreed. First listen, gave it a 1. Today, second listen, bumped it to 7. Sounds nice and radioheadish today. |
