The band famous for making people faint during their live performances due to intense emotion from their music. If people know this band they know that none of their albums or songs are named. I have the () album and its pretty boring, but relaxing when your in the mood for that kind of music. Crap, é crap not?

Good question. Crap.

They should call themselves the "Space-Age Sigur-Crap Band"



-Noah

I had the misfortune to see these muck peddlers live once.

It was like a 45 minute yawn.

Crap.

I think they're okay as far as the music part of it but the gibberish lyrics make them CRAP worthy.

Totally not crap.

It's hard to say with this band. For now I'm in the not crap department, but that may change with their next record. The 1st one was okay, nothing to write home about, but I was pretty impressed with (). Since () they've released a cd single that had one of the () songs and some other songs recorded during those sessions and also an ep called babatikidido which was some music they'd composed for a performance art dance thing that they did at some new york dance school. Neither the outtakes nor the dance songs were all that different than the () album. The next record is definitely going to have to cover some new ground or I moving on to the crap department. As a side note...Has anyone ever seen any of this bands music videos? I have to say I found them pretty amazing. If you buy that cd single for (), it comes with a dvd that has their 3 videos. I think i got it for about 8 or 9 dollars and it's worth it just to see the insane videos. cheers.

Ill have to take a looksy at their videos, they sound interesting

I saw them live once in Boston last year with my wife, and we had pretty good seats. It was an amazing show, easily one of my favourites. Sometimes the stars just get aligned and you're more receptive to the live music you're experiencing, I dunno.

Anyhoo, that night was pretty special. After the first song ended, the crowd (maybe a thousand-strong?) just sat there, afraid to clap. It was quite weird. The band started to set up for their second song, and still nobody was clapping. Kind of a mass hypnosis. Giggles started to be heard because it was so goddamn weird. Eventually, someone clapped their hands and the venue erupted in massive applause.

Not Crap.

That sounds like it was a great show, I would like to see them live. I hope they come by rochester sometime

i woud kill to see that show... but living in a godforsaken small country in eastern europe, i think that is not likely to happen... i think sigur ros realising () got quite uniqe and intresting sound...
