that. nice review too... sigur ros seem to have totally divided opinions. my mum (and boyfriend) thought they were achingly dull, self indulgent and overhyped. my friends and i, on the other hand, were absolutely stunned by how amazing they were.

i've heard so many complaints about this years latitude... too many children, not enough cultural diversity, overpriced food, too 'middle-aged middle-class' etc. i went their knowing it would be very middling; i personally didn't expect a huge deal of drum and bass and grime as one reviewer seem to expect and so wasn't disappointed. my only complaint is please, please, make the comedy tent bigger. and maybe stop the middle-aged, middle-class couple camped next to me complaining about the number of children there. when they had a nine-year old and a toddler.[/sarcasm] :D

may have to go to this. bobby mcgees! beards! LC!

GILF, however, is accepted.

beautiful review, perfectly summed up how i feel about this album. 'asleep in the back' was one of the first albums that i felt came out of no-where to speak to me.

you need only listen to the swell of 'starlings' to know what you're in for with this album. the only fault i can find so far is that the first 4 tracks are so heart-breakingly wonderful that i keep going back to replay them. x
