08.01.13 | For some reason I read this as 'Kverlertak Ranked' |
Polyethylene
08.01.13 | Haha.
Not that removed from my ranking avon |
avonbarksdale221
08.01.13 | Not at all. Rafstraumur might be my favourite song of the year. Really great album. |
Polyethylene
08.01.13 | Rafstraumur almost got first place, but damn Brennisteinn might even be my favourite Sigur Ros song. It'd be that or Saeglopur. Great album agreed! |
avonbarksdale221
08.01.13 | Saeglopur rules agreed. It may be cliche, but for me Hoppipolla>all. I actually passed up the
opportunity to see these guys live last year. The fuck is wrong with me? |
Polyethylene
08.01.13 | Nothing wrong with loving the classic tracks man, Hoppipolla would be way up there for me too, same as Sleepwalkers
and Glosoli.
Damn, that sucks! I've heard they're fantastic live, I saw some of the Heima DVD and wow |
avonbarksdale221
08.01.13 | Yeah the footage I've seen is incredible. Hopefully the come back to Australia soon. Love Glosoli. Although Agaetis is prob my fave album of theirs. |
Polyethylene
08.01.13 | Agaetis or this I'd say. I've also warmed to Valtari a lot, it struck me as dull when I first heard it but after listening on vinyl and getting into a lot of ambient all-encompassing music, man it's really heaven caught on tape.
Cool, I'm from New Zealand, don't know if they've ever bothered coming here haha. If they announce Aussie dates but no Kiwi ones I might just have to fly over, might even see you there! |
avonbarksdale221
08.01.13 | Wow commitment, would probably be worth it though. BDO go to NZ? Still need to listen to Valtari, only heard Agaetis, (), Takk and this so far. |
Polyethylene
08.01.13 | Yeah BDO still comes here, the first announcement for '14 was pretty mediocre though. Valtari rules, just very slow and ambient |
avonbarksdale221
08.01.13 | Yeah the first few bands are good but not much depth. Arcade Fire are one of my favourite bands so I'll definitely be going. |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.01.13 | Rafstraumur is probably my least favourite, I guess my ranking goes along the lines of:
Isjaki
Brennisteinn
Blapradur
Hrafntinna
Kveikur
Yfirbord
Stormur
Rafstraumur
Var |
Polyethylene
08.01.13 | Cool man, interesting to see Raf so low yet Blapradur so high.
I've never properly listened to Arcade Fire, where should I start? |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.01.13 | I love Blapradur as a closer as well as a song (Var feels more like an epilogue)
Start with Funeral and go through their discog (which isn't very long) |
avonbarksdale221
08.01.13 | Yeah man only three albums and their first (Funeral) is best. Their most recent rules pretty hard as well. |
JS19
08.01.13 | This is utterly and completely wrong but album still rules so it's all ok |
avonbarksdale221
08.01.13 | Whats your ranking? |
JS19
08.01.13 | Stormur
Hrafntinna
Isjaki
Brennisteinn
Kveikur
then everything else, but all the rest is still great |
avonbarksdale221
08.01.13 | Yeah fair enough. I should probably bump to a 4.5 |
JS19
08.01.13 | Dude you like Jezabels so we're cool anyway |
avonbarksdale221
08.01.13 | Gotta rep that Aussie music. Long Highway is such a jam. |
JS19
08.01.13 | 'Long Highway is such a jam.'
YES |
avonbarksdale221
08.01.13 | Mace Spray and Prisoner rule hard as well. |
JS19
08.01.13 | Dark Storm, Hurt Me and Sahara Mahala are my favourites, but their third EP and the Album are really solid |
avonbarksdale221
08.01.13 | Really good band, interested to see where they go next. |
JS19
08.01.13 | Absolutely, really underrated as well. Think they'll do some really great things in the future :] |
