xxmartinxx Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Does anyone have this thing? I want it, but $150 for 7 records is a bit pricey. And it's "limited" to 5000. : Is it worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counterfiction Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 from what i've heard just the remastered for vinyl () LP's are worth it. the first press was of pretty questionable audio quality. but for $150? i don't know. maybe?

riddle350 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I don't have it but it looks absolutely beautiful. If I had the money I'd deffinetly get it. I know Roadmonkey got it. Ask him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skumbucket Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 it absolutely is worth it in every way if you're a fan of the band. i'm trying to save money for a lot of things, and that's definitely one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxmartinxx Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 My other question is does it have the song from the bonus 10" from the Takk set? I have 3xLP Takk record, so I don't know if I'd have to keep that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniethebear Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I'd like to pick this up eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebunk Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Actually many people who bought the set are quite unhappy with it. Do some searching on Sigur Ros fan forums and loo for opinions. Apparently the book the vinyl come in is very cheap. Also, the labels on the LPs do not say the name of the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viperviper Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 definitely not worth it. they are easily my favorite band, but i'm not into re-issued, overpriced boxsets that are hardly limited at all. i'll stick with my limited version of heima on dvd.

jon720 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I got this and if you look at how much "()" goes for on ebay and their second album, this is a lot better buy for 150 bucks. I'm quite happy with it after I got it about a month or so ago. Sounds good, looks good...if you have the money to spend and this is something you want I'd say buy it. However, I usually could give 2 shits if the art is good, split seams on records', other garbage that people get migraines over...so maybe some shouldn't listen to my opinion. I just like to hear the damn record after all is said and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxmartinxx Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=23781&page=1 For those who are interested in the consensus of the Sigur Ros fanatics. I take all of the negatives with a grain of salt. There were a lot of people complaining that the didn't have the accent mark on the "O". Give me a break. I think I'll still end up buying this someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skumbucket Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 i should probably state that i don't actually own it; my only experience with it has come from hanging out and listening to it/looking at it with my brother. he already owns () and Takk on LP, but he loves the book. from what i've seen of it, there doesn't appear to be any reason not to. but i'm sure the fanatics have their reasons.

skumbucket Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 fucking hosers. i couldn't make it through the first round of complaints because every single one of them uses "vinyl". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manicdogbert Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 i've got this i'd say it's worth it to easily get all of Sigur Ros' albums (except Von and the remix album) on vinyl. The photobook is pretty cool too. FWIW, the packaging did look a little flimsy so I just keep the records outside of the sleeve "pages" My other question is does it have the song from the bonus 10" from the Takk set? I have 3xLP Takk record, so I don't know if I'd have to keep that. yes, the track (Milano, i think) on the 10" from the Takk vinyl is included on the boxset.

roadmonkey Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I'm loving it, I really don't care what the rabid fans have to say about it. Personally I think it is a beautiful set, and given that I've wanted all the albums on vinyl but didn't want to pay ebay prices. The book does seem a little cheaply made, and feels that it could come apart is mis handled, but then again, I just have to take care and it will be good to go. Bottom line, I would say get it. In the end the facts remain. A) You get the albums you want in One set for less than you'd spend on Ebay The records are 180 Grams C) In the end it's beautiful music that you will enjoy forever.

imadeahugemistake Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Didn't someone post a thread about this box set a couple months ago saying that their brother ordered it and got one of the 50 signed copies? That would be an epic mail day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
