Tom Servo Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 so, what is the release date for this, then? I guess I should clarify: They would be releasing Takk and ( ) on August 28th, so, I would assume that is the release date... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poweredbytrust Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 oh, I'm sorry I could have just checked the BullMoose link. Thanks for the heads up! I stopped by my local shop today and they looked it up in the system (for the ThinkIndie distro) but couldn't find anything yet. Maybe Germany will be a bit later on this.

parkinglot Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Out of curiosity, do you guys say "See-Yur Rose", or Sihgurr Raws, or however you would type that. Also, Takk is pronounced "tack", right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Takk is pronounced "tack", right? I pronounce it See-gur Rose (with rose like gross... I didn't know how to emphasize that). Also I think Takk is tack?

Derek™ Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 There is no G sound in the pronounciation of their name. Not that I particularly care nor will I correct someone in person – especially since it's a treat to converse with fellow SR fans outside of the internet – but the "Sigur" is more accurately along the lines of "seer".

thethreebeggars Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Well, as always, there's youtube for that. Takk on the other hand I'd also say is pronounced "tack" but the a is short like in the word 'up' Btw the music direct listing for Takk says colored vinyl, I guess that's misinformation, or should I get my hopes up? (even though I think black just fits it perfectly already) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when Agaetis came out I wanted to really try and say their name correctly. From the research I did, you are right. And Ros is pronounced "Roos". So, "Seer Roos". I do feel dumb sometimes saying it correctly since more people pronounce it incorrectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not one to be snobby about technical pronunciations, but I've definitely had to purse my lips a time or two after hearing "Sugar Rose" in person.

itsgoodtobefree Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 My local shop just ordered both Takk and ( ) for me. They said it might be hard to get ( ) since it's so limited but we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Ros is pronounced "Roos". So, "Seer Roos". I do feel dumb sometimes saying it correctly since more people pronounce it incorrectly. I know what you mean. I felt the same way for years whenever I'd mention Tool's Aenima, and pronounce it correctly as "on-eh-ma". They'd just give me this bewildered look, and then say, "Oooooh, you mean Enima!", and then carry on that Tool was their favorite band. Yeah, sometimes it is just easier to pronounce it the way everybody else does, and just avoid the pronunciation argument entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not one be snobby about technical pronunciations, but I've definitely had to purse my lips a time or two after hearing "Sugar Rose" in person.Yeah. One guy who works at my local shop was telling me how he has original presses of every Sigur Ros album, and how he's been listening to them for well over a decade, then proceeded to call them Sigger Ross. Then I felt like a douche asking if they could order ( ) by Seer Rose for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Take the snark, sass, and general shittiness out of this glorious repress thread. Now is a time to celebrate (finally) owning an essential Sigur Rós album for < $200 – pissing matches belong in the Hot Topic repress threads.

drds89 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 After researching to get the band name pronunciation right, and also finding out that they call ( ) - 'brackets' - I forget exactly what my daughter called it when she was nine, I think 'the white CD" with the finger gestures for parentheses And dang, we say 'tock' - so I have to go home tonight and tell about the repress of 'tack' - which is her favorite. Funny looks await. And we have an OG heirloom. (plus a bullmoose RP if they come through). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyFrosted Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Music Direct still has both Takk and () but it's $10+ FedEx shipping only. It's free shipping on 100 bucks orders so I'm looking around for something else splurge-y to add but it's all overpriced junk. If I wait too long they'll be gone... maybe I should just eat the shipping.. EDIT: Unless their () for sale isn't clear /3000, it's doesn't say any color. EDIT AGAIN: Screw it, I'm ordering both from Acoustic Sounds because it clearly states clear vinyl and I'm eating the shipping. I am not good at buying records but I'll be glad when they're here.

captainaldous Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 My fiancé is Icelandic and always makes me feel stupid when I try to pronounce this bands name. Haha. Glad this is finally happening though. Ordered through bullmoose the other night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
