Boring Repetition

are possibly the most awesome band I've ever heard in my life!
Has anyone heard heard Von (their first album)? Is it worth paying for
on import, and if so where do I get it from?

have unbelievable potential. The only downside is with emotional music of
this kind, it can get boring after a while, but for Sigur Ros not even after
100 listens. I do not have Von yet, but have downloaded several of their
songs, including Von itself. If at all possible, download the song Von,
another brilliant song.

Oh piss off you soulless swine! You have no heart if you're not moved
by Sigur Ros.

Yeah, the thing is I haven't been to many Icelandic record shops
recently.

Don't be childish. Sigur Rós are *just a band*. Don't get me wrong, I like Agaetis Byrjun, but
they're *just a band*. They write slow songs and play guitar with lots of delay and reverb. The
singer sings in a foreign language I probably wouldn't be able to understand even if I was from
Iceland, and to top it off, apparently sometimes he sings in what is dubbed "Hopelandic", which
he makes up as he goes along! How fucking stupid is that? "Hopelandic"? Honestly, it boggles the
mind. So, anyway, in my nice cynical opinion, Sigur Rós are *not* a revelation and they are not
the most beautifulest musicalest snowflake of evar. They are a band with a peculiar talent for
hypnosis. They aren't doing anything new and I will not be moved by a ten minute song when it
would be just as good at half the length. "Echeeyarooya" eight hundred times is no better than
"Echeeyarooya" four hundred times. That is all.

So what you're saying is that you haven't been "moved" to an import store, or haven't been
"moved" to order it online? Where's your heart? ^_^

Just because he whines "echeeeeeyaaaroooo" 800 times in Icelandic it
doesn't mean it's not brilliant. Jesus, you sound like my mother!
Her - What is *this*?
Me - It's Sigur Ros, and it's brilliant.
Her - But... but... he's not singing in English, what's he *saying*?
Me - Who cares?!
And he whines just as much as Thom Yorke. Radiohead fans should be used
to a bit of screeching, should they not?

Well, from the impression I got from sigur-ros.co.uk, their debut is not
as accomplished as the follow-up. That is why I was enquiring whether
it was worth paying scandalous import/shipping charges. I am a
student. If my fellow AMR readers say it's shite, then I will not buy
it. I will save my meagre pennies for more important items, such as
Burger Kings, or Guiness. Understood?
Jonathan McArthur
You're still being childish. I don't give a crap what the guy's saying. The fact is, repeating
something for ten minutes when five minutes would suffice is a WASTE OF TIME and it's part of th
e reason why I can't listen to Sigur Rós unless I'm about to go to bed. It turns my brain off
because it's so repetitive. If I listen to it during the day it bores me because it doesn't
really go anywhere.

The reason is that it makes an interesting song. Why stop at five
minutes, if you're gonna say something why not just say it once and make
all songs 20 seconds long? It creates an effective sound. That's the
point. There is no other point. Maybe Sigur Ros didn't think their
songs work when they're under five minutes. Some songs just don't.
Didn't you argue that LSP would sound a lot better if it was longer?
Radiohead decided that they liked it the length it is, maybe they
thought the average fan didn't have an adequate attention span.
Ayawy, Sigur Ros songs wouldn't work if they were any shorter. Of
course that's entirely my opinion.

Well you implicated that Sigur Ros make songs which only involve the
lyrics "EEEECHAAAAYAAROOO". Which looks like a whine to me.

AMR usually has pretty good taste in music. You'll inevitably
disagree. Because you always do.

Hum, my point was that it doesn't do anything different. "Svefn-g-englar" does something very
nicely for four minutes, but then it continues to do exactly the same thing for another four
minutes. In my personal opinion, the song would be better if it stopped after the first four
minutes. I don't see the point in dragging it on - it doesn't make the mood any different, it
just makes me think "This song is too long!".

Are you trying to start an argument or something? I said "the polar folk of AMR" meaning you'll
probably get two very different opinions from people who've heard the album. Do I need to
elaborate on that? I think not. I'm not talking about the collective taste of AMR. Fuck that,
it's not relevant.

> on import, and if so where do I get it from?
it's.. ok, i guess. nothing like agaetis. i mean, half of the songs are
just noises. literally. like bells with birds in the background. htere
are some great tracks though... syndir guds or something is amazing, the
first track, sigur ros, is the one about the birds and bells and it's
faily paranoic.. it's a good record..
someone, here i think, described it as being the beginning of the
world.. where the earth is formed, and the dinasours roam, and ends with
the adam and eve thing (sin of gods, fitting).
agaetis picks up somewhere along the chapter after genesis and the shape
of humanity.. love, sorrow, sadness, hapiness, all that crap.
anyways.. it's a better debut than pablo honey.
as for where to get it.. i got it in some iceland place i don't
remember.. badtaste.co.uk i think.. they're icelandic label.. for about.
$20 i think. i also got the remix album, von recycle or something.
utter crap.

But i know a lot of people who have known of sigur ros before they toured with
radiohead, and these people were big fans. I'm pretty certain most of em
probably werent radiohead fans either.
er.

I like sigur ros!
Wee!
I like long songs. When a song gets in a good groove, its all nice.
Ever hear the Self titled FLY PAN AM RECORD?
They do this bit, on song three, where they play the same thing ...the same 3
or 4 notes...over and over..for the next 13 minutes....(its a 17 minute song,
the first 4 minutes build up to the rest of the 13.)
anyways, its very hard to listen to at first...but then something clicks..and

You're being far too generous... the lyrics are nowhere near that

Sigur Ros music is featured on the mp3 sharing program at

a good place to check for music on this band.

I agree. nothing beats a song where you don't notice the 10 minute mark
passing. Andrew Weatherall's remix of "Give me Some love" by the Love
Corporation is about 11 minutes long.. but at the end of it i'm always
sat there thinking it ended a bit prematurely.. With long, droning
music, just don't listen to it if it feels wrong at the time, you'll
know, and putting yourself through 10 minutes of it tends to make you
reassess a band a bit in a pretty bad :(
Not heard Fly Pan Am though

I'm something of a fan and I definitely agree. Even more infuriating is the gorgeous, intense but
all-too-brief departure it takes several minutes in (you know, when they decide to introduce some
instrumentation other than screeching ambient guitar effects and a sonar pulses), which could've
benefitted from greater length.
I think the rest of the record improves on this. All in all I'd shave maybe 8-12 minutes off the
entire record.

That's more like it! The Underontesare one of hose bands.. every song
seems to have a similar formula.. but they're all so fucking catchy and
brilliant.!

I agree. Once you've got to a certain point, you couldn't care less how
long it goes on. If you don't get to that point, then fuck it, cos
you're not in the mood, listen to something else.

> Wait, you only have one album of theirs and you make this judgment? Oh dear!
Have you ever heard "Loveless" by My Bloody Valentine.. I know a lot of
people who have come to this opninion on that album.. Album/ band.. it
doesn't really matter does it? You could have a superb band trying for
perfection again and again, releasing a few slightly dodgy albums, then
suddenly coming up with a masterpiece..then what? and besides, he did
say "most beautiful music" not "best band"
