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....!!!!!

You´re qualified for the "stupidest posting 2009".

yes - they are an acquired taste . . . sort of like sake, or an islay malt (Laphroaig), or certain types of sushi.

but like many things that require some work - once your there - it's all the better.

I am quite frankly amazed by the lack of appreciation to a group that show such innovation and without a doubt produce the best live show I have seen in my time

The instrumentals were nice and the singing could have worked, but I think he needs a bit more direction on this one. Was he trying to imitate a Siren somehow?

Good God! Look at the Edvard Munch painting, "The Scream' and that's the response most folks have when they hear this howl-fest. Those long, dark nights in Iceland do some mighty funky things to people, eh? Ouch

I love the feel of Sigur Ros' stuff, but on this particular tune, the vocals are pretty bad. Kinda like a guy who's trying to sing too high for his range, and a in a very UNsupported way. I'm just sayin....

I swear he sings the same thing in every song.

I bought one album not understanding any lyrics, only to find out they had made up the language for the album.

I enjoy the music but his high voice singing the same thing over & over gets annoying.
