And admittedly, I do absolutely love the third track. Though that may be just because it's instrumental hahaha

Agreed. Untitled 3 is gorgeous.

@ocean My interpretation of this album is how it's meant to represent all of the highs and lows of life as well as all the

emotions of life. Like the overall happiness of 6 yet the really deep compressed guitar shows how you could be happy but

have an overall anxiety at the same time, the sorrow of 5, the intense happiness of 4, the happiness of 8 in the beginning but

the sudden switch in vibe because something terrible happens to kill the mood. To top it all off, everyone's circumstances in

life are different so the lyrics are made to just enhance whatever the song is trying to convey as anther instrument. Coupled

with life experiences over this past summer and many repeated listens, that's what I get from this album.

I don't like it as much as most people and that's because most of this doesn't omit any feeling from me and it just drags longer than it needs to. However 1 and 3 are honestly amazing and listening to 1 whilst watching the music video is an incredible experience. I don't know what it is about that video but it's just so... beautiful, even in the faces of destruction

I just love how the tracks and even the album itself has no name. So your interpretation is entirely your own.

Likewise. I enjoy the whole theme of this album and even how the same words about being spoken again and again but it just doesn't work for me

I can't really handle the repetitious lyrics tbh. It just comes across as obnoxiously artsy to me.



Album sort of gets a pass for being well-performed, but it all just feels so hollow. I get that everything's untitled for the sake of projecting your own thoughts and concepts into the music, but I'm sure just a little more contextualizing would've done it wonders for me.

I get ya. For me the repetitious lyrics are the high point. It just keeps me wondering why that one particular phrase keeps being repeated, but that's among other things.

context? Do you translate foreign lyrics? I mean, it's cool if you do but the icelandic might as well be meaningless to me because I don't bother translating it anyway

"Jónsi sang the lyrics of ( ) entirely in "Vonlenska" ("Hopelandic"), a made-up "language" which consists of meaningless words and syllables. Jónsi uses Hopelandic in place of songs which do not yet have lyrics, although some tracks on Sigur Rós albums Von and Takk... are only sung in the language. Its names in English and Icelandic are derived from "Von" ("Hope" in English), the ninth track on the album Von, which is the first instance in which Hopelandic is used in the band's music.[8] The Hopelandic of ( ) consists of one eleven-syllable phrase, "You xylo. You xylo no fi lo. You so.", various permutations of which are sung over the course of the album."

I thought "you suffer" was in the mix somewhere? Anyway, I agree about how repetitive it is, but I wouldn't care if the music was powerful enough. I don't think it is, but 1 is one of the best songs ever

8 is easily the best but everything is about equal on here for me. If I had to pick the worst is would prob be 7.
