You do

Helpful?

one of those bands that can release any old poo

and people will still hail them as genius, when in fact they sound like U2 played at half-speed with Bono singing backwards whilst holding his balls

^ this

is funny.

Is it just me

oo is anyone else thinking

Ummagumma

Sigur Ros backlash?

You guys will attack anything these days.
Democracy? Rar rar rar rar rar not in my day rar rar rar

never into them in the first place

so not a backlash for me innit

hmmm

i used to think the same... then i actually listened to their stuff, rather than just the first (inevitably silent) twenty seconds of each track...

As long as it isn't Takk II

im happy

Because it's wrong

and a bit retarded?

This will have obviously

a beatiful packagng and will cost a lot.
What's the point in having only 5 tracks on a disc especially now where 90% of the people will just put it on their computer...

Most Sigur Ros tracks are at least 5- 10 minutes in length

and can therefore amount to a 5 track album being 45+ minutes, longer than many albums with 10+ tracks.

maybe

we'll see...

Because

That's all they recorded?

surely

but why 2 discs then ?

ah

agreed
if it is, my dm's are coming out for ceremonial sigur rós smashing :)

because

it comes to more than 80 minutes?

i think the likelihood

of discs 1 and 2 totalling less than 80 minutes is pretty remote, yes? and i'm a cynic saying that

then

why are you wasting your time slagging them off? Bloody kids.

£6.99

for 2CD on music-wow, £13.99 with DVD = bargain

haha

mine is the icelandic copy too
and i have the first pressing of rimúr ep
