Idk... I guess I just can't get into EitS... I've tried 3-4 albums, and with every one I leave with the experience of "Yeah, this is alright, but why would I spin this when I could be listening to X or Y"

Album Rating: 4.0

idk they're pretty mediocre honestly, but I stand by my statement that Your Hand in Mine is a great pop song. then again one of my normie friends called it elevator music so maybe it fails as pop music too

Album Rating: 5.0

It fails as pop music because this isn’t pop music. Maybe closer to dream pop, but dream isn’t really pop in the traditional way of describing it. This is very much a post rock record through and through for me.

Where are you guys meeting these people that know Sigur Ros in passing??? Then again I’m gonna be tested for autism and am very anti social so maybe in the wrong person to be saying what I said regarding accessibility lol

Album Rating: 4.0

are people still doing the thing where they refer to obviously not pop music as pop music hoping someone will challenge them on it

Album Rating: 5.0

Lol I did. I nicely challenged toxin to a duel.

Album Rating: 3.0

idk, I wouldn't call anything outside of the billboard top 100 "pop" but there is definitely a scale of popularity within the music listening community. For Post-Rock I'd say Sigur Ros and Godspeed are the biggest out there... or what people start with before discovering others in the genre.

'Then again I’m gonna be tested for autism and am very anti social so maybe in the wrong person to be saying what I said regarding accessibility lol'



same, i just got my referall letter through a few days ago but theyre so backed up that its gonna be like 3 years until i get a diagnosis appointment.



genuinely considering paying the ludicrous 1500-2000 pounds to get a private diagnosis

FUCK my friend sorry to hear that. I was lucky enough to get my appointments in a months time and I thought THAT was far away.

yeah well where i am in the uk (surrey) is one of the worst in the country for waiting times. theyre only just seeing people referred in october 2019.



combination of covid stopping all appointments and childrens social abilities being stunted due to lockdown and parents interpreting that as possible spectrum evidence (which in fairness it always could be)

Album Rating: 4.0

how exactly does that diagnosis work? is it something they conclude after knowing you for a while or is it more on the spot? do you go to different doctors or just one? just curious

Album Rating: 5.0

From what I understand, I have a one hour virtual intake appointment which consists of very specific questions, and then two full hour days of extremely in depth testing of many different kinds, then a results appointment and go from there. That’s what I’ve gathered and been set up for but idk how it is outside the US.

Album Rating: 4.0

makes sense. hopefully you guys get those appointments and the outcomes have a positive impact on your lives

adding onto the fact that sigur ros are huge and practically a household name, i mean hoppipolla has been used in so many things in the uk even if they didnt know the name sigur ros most people would recognise the song

Oh yeah, I remember hearing Sigur Ros on... I think an Olympics ad/bumper for the 2022 Winter games?

Album Rating: 5.0

Well Sigur Ros are pretty epic



Thank you Colton. Not diagnosed yet obviously but I feel like I’ve always know. Something was off but finally decided to explore the possibilities. Could be much worse.

yes for sure, sigur ros are up there for bands that people have heard but dont know its them



famously they were used on one of the many attenborough nature documentaries a decade or so ago?







and colton as far as im aware in the uk it consists of a few sessions with nhs autism specialists who you discuss your personal history with. they ask you to do some tests (which the details of are actually not published so that people cant prepare in a way so as to get the result they want).

they also ask if possible for you to bring someone who knew you as a child so they can describe what you were like

Mongi, I obviously realize Your Hand in Mine is literally post-rock and not Taylor Swift, I'm not an idiot lol.



But compare it to other popular post-rock bands like Sigur Ros or GY!BE and to me it's very clearly poppy. Like harmonically, 95% of the chords it uses are I-vi-IV-V which isn't I-V-iv-IV but is still a very common pop progression. It's also structured very much like a pop song, you could easily label it as verses/ choruses, and the way it builds up to its choruses is pretty much the same way pop songs work.



I enjoy it like I enjoy pop music and not like other post-rock (which also means I listen to it more than other post-rock since I enjoy pop without irony). It's the same way that as a pianist, I listen to Yiruma or Einaudi as pop music, even though you're not gonna go to Billboard and see Yiruma charting. And I don't really care for the rest of this album because it fails as pop music for me, e.g., I don't find the melodies catchy. But I don't really listen to other post-rock artists for catchy melodies

Also I have a handful of IRL friends who listen to Sigur Ros. There's nothing special about them, they're just people who didn't get super into hip-hop and EDM so when they explore music, they listen to a lot of rock-adjacent stuff. Pretty much Pitchfork music as I call it. Within that group of people, Sigur Ros isn't exactly underground.
