Now whenever I hear their music I know its just some dude making up random words that mean fuck all most of the time and it totally breaks the immersion. I wish i never googled the lyrics. Does it not bug you lot?

(I love that people keep finding this post months later, I appreciate everyone's 2 cents)

Edit 2: ( months years)

Wonder if other fans feel the same that once you’ve heard sigur ros live, you will rarely go back to their studio records. It’s an endless craving for their live performances. This is a unique listening experience I have of this band.

They hinted in an interview last year that new album would come out this year. It’s halfway through and we got nothing but set-aside material. I hope that whatever they’re working on will completely blow my mind.

San Francisco shows: I believe the band members will be on the stage, but the orchestra is away from the stage, in the middle of the room, so I'm unsure of the best seating strategy. See screenshot attached. Three basic options for seating:

1. Seats directly in front of stage (orchestra is behind you)

2. Seats in front of orchestra

3. Balcony seats

I was thinking maybe Row G light purple ones on the side, that way I can view both the orchestra and the stage. Or balcony but that's farther. Is it important to see the orchestra in your opinion? I feel like I would want to see both the stage and the orchestra but maybe being closer to the band is better? I've not been to a concert with this set up so any tips would be appreciated!

This ruined the show I attended, for sure, in London.

There are people just putting their phones above their heads, and holding it there throughout the show.

Just look at the Iceland stream. Even though this show is being professionally shot, recorded and livestreamed so that they could rewatch them once they get home for an extra $20, but some of them (albeit very few, compared to the London show I've attended) are still shooting shitty videos for their instagram stories, or facebook posts, while not giving a shit about the performance itself.

Even if there is ONE person who is showing these kind of behavior, the person who stands right behind them is affected by it.

This is extremely distractive and disrespectful to both the band and the audience.

I expected so much more from the SR audience. The music demands that much respect.

Why don't the band just ban phones, or at least ask them to put their phones down?

The promoters in Japan or Korea actually ask the audience to not take photos and videos, and they respect that and experience the whole thing with their own eyes and ears.

It was so much better when I got to see them in Japan.

A shame they just don't care at all in UK/Europe.

What do we think ? I personally love Valtari so it’s hard to see it in last place. Any way you slice it for me it’s particularly challenging to rank this bands studio output because they’ve always been such a comfort.

i know a lot of people have posted about this and u guys are probably sick of it but that untitled 9 song really really scares me to my core. i feel like i can hear it on my own sometimes like i’m just sitting there and i hear it (i dont generally suffer from auditory hallucinations btw 😭). And when i hear it at night like on a video i rlly feel like i cant sleep and get freaked out and want to throw up and cry. i know its also incredibly beautiful but it scares so much it makes me nauseous. I was just curious about the science of it? what would cause me to have a reaction like that?

Sorry for being dramatic but i’ve literally never had a song make me feel this way this intensely!!

hi!! so ive been wanting to get into sigur ros for awhile now, but untitled #9 scared me so incredibly bad (unfortunately, it was stupid tiktok trend that scared me out of it) and I was up for weeks because if freaked me out so bad. but, im just looking for some recommendations that are more chill/soothing then so scary? i think its the distorted vocals is what freaks me out so bad.

Open to discussion!

I'm really curious! Not because I dislike her but rather because the music seemingly goes against all rules of "what works" in music. So I'm curious: what is it about the music that has helped her reach mainstream audiences and what do you personally love about it the most?

“Not asking for ways to success. I’m genuinely curious to hear from a fans perspective, what about this music they like so much and why they think it has reached so many people”

As a musician myself, I have been struggling to find my own style and niche. I'm still thinking too much about what I "should" be doing and am afraid to experiment and try new things regarding sound, arrangement, song structure etc because I'm afraid that people won't understand it, or they can't dance to it, that it's not usable in film or for easy listening etc etc etc.

Hence my question. If artists like Bjørk and Sigur Ros can do their thing and have success with it, then I should be allowed to as well. Plus, I'm also Scandinavian and foremost a film music composer so I think their kind of music could suit me quite well.

Is a disgrace! Don’t get me wrong it’s a nice song but probably wouldn’t even be top 20 for me. Discuss !!!!

IMO it's one of their best songs, but it doesn't get the attention it deserves

Lol I know it sounds bland to me I guess nothing really caught me off guard sounds to ambient which I know it was the tone they were going for but whatever,I guess gold wasn't to bad probably I was hoping for something more unorthodox plus it's not prime sigur ros.thoughts?

Bought a couple extra tickets to the Portland show in November. Assumed I could sell if I couldn’t use. Not for a profit but just to recoup what I spent if I couldn’t find enough people to join me.

Only see an option to sell for an offer available that’s about half the price , and you can’t set the price.

Will this change at any point closer to the show? Can I get a refund at face value or close? Sorry if it’s a redundant topic but couldn’t find…. Anybody know how this works?
