paralyticstalks Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Saw SR first time ever last night with my daughter and a couple of close friends. Indescribable, the atmosphere. Just one observation, whatever back trouble Orri had from Valtari days, he is definitely over -- that man beat the flippin' stink out of his kit all night long, even on the track Varud. ( ) 8 build up was just insane, even our friends who were only tangentially familiar with them could not stop talking about the show, esp. ( ) 8. I don't see how Orri didn't go through 3 sets of drum heads on his toms, and Jonsi really seemed to be into it as well. Georg, is well... Georg. Family guy. But even on ( ) 8, he had a little jam going there. I was at the show last night too! It was beautiful. My boyfriend and I were front and center. I swear Jonsi was trying to communicate with us at least 5 times... Trying to get us to sing along and whatnot. One of the best shows of my life. drds89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Seeing them tonight. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianmorgante Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I was at the show in Cleveland a few weeks back. First time getting to see them, absolutely unreal! I definitely agree with the posts saying this is one of the best albums this year. I was curious about the newer "darker" direction from the first teasers, but this album definitely delivered for me!

ChardeeMacDennis Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Ken Taylor designed a really rad poster that was just released today. Less than 50 bucks shipped to the us from AU...not bad.

nelso330 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 so glad other people are thinking/coming around that this is one of this years best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Enjoy Kveikur every play. Maybe not 'epic' like a Saeglopur or ( ) 8, but really great music, like Valtari, in its own way - different, but still quite pleasant. I don't hear the 'dark' yet... Georg's bass effects were a great move Seeing them live really just sealed it BKO5950505 and forbenator 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drds89 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Beat me to it - Better than an alpaca blanket or some-such Lots of goodies in there and shipping isn't that bad ($11.63 to US) for 9 x 12" records, art, autograph, #'ed Probably will be someone's major Christmas present at our house, after getting to see them live for the first time this year, and.... she dropped $35 of her hard-earned baby-sitting money. for a silly T shirt. Sigur Ros, swoon... My 1000th post - I need to do a contest / giveaway or something (but not this haha) kamalatapes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fitterhappier Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Hate to sound like a broken record (no pun intended), but what is up with these box sets with 1 song per record? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Hate to sound like a broken record (no pun intended), but what is up with these box sets with 1 song per record? Given the long songs and 45rpm it kinda makes sense for this album, but yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fozzyb Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 it's a kveikur release that belongs in the kveikur thread and i doubt this release will generate much discussion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youinreverse Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I think having an instrumental on the B-side sounds pretty cool and would work for this album. I'm not going to drop $125 on it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
