am looking forard to this - the album not the gig as I think its sold out and im too late? - arse!

I thought they already did sound like Korn?
or is it just me?

korn?

does that mean that they will turn to christianity very soon?

Whooop!
Sunday Sunday Sunday...

I don't have a ticket since I too made the mistake of choosing The Mars Volta over Sigur Ros (WHY? I'VE SEEN TMV A WHOLE BUNCH OF TIMES?) so if anyone has a spare one it would be MUCH appreciated - bar that I'm going to try and get one off a tout.

Hope it's better than the last album : it was really boring !

emm, where have they said it will sound like korn? they said it will have a more rock-orientated approach but thats it. hope yr not taking the 'norse god of thunder' posts on their message board seriously

This Sunday? Oh boy, I cannot fucking wait for this. I will most likely cry since 'Vaka' has been known to reduce me to tears.

im going to the paris date. cannot wait, its gonna be awesome!!

"does that mean that they will turn to christianity very soon?"

At least one of them is a Christian!

yeh and Jonsi is a fag. jus hope one of em aint catholic.

this has been upsetting me for months... they're playing glasgow but i'll be in a big field getting trashed before a whole weekend of lovely bands.

dilemma: arrive early at titip, getting guttered before sunset by consuming a weekends supply of 'whatever' or go see sigur ros, have the aural equivalent of a big bag of 'whatever', but risk being late for festival......?

Sigur Ros. Do it. You know in the long run you'll look back at it and think that you made the right choice instead of watching loads of bands you probably think are wank.

as their music sounds like heaven, i'd assume some of them were christians. jesus is a sigur fan. fact.

Yay! Can't wait till Sunday!!

Hooray I'm going to this now. Anyone heard anything about support acts? my friend said jenniferever might be a possibility but that may have been just wishful thinking

They're still on, are they?

Just in after the Glasgow show. Very good but mobbed. If you've got tickets for any of the shows get there early.

Hehheh, it was a bit hot. Most flyers being used as fans I've ever seen.

The sound was really good, the visuals excellent, including when the computer conked out and we had the Apple error message projected, twice.

"we can now announce that the title of the new sigur rós album is takk..., which is icelandic for "thanks". it will be released september 12th on EMI records. we at sigur-ros.co.uk got a chance to listen to the album recently and for our money it's the best thing the band has ever released. we can't wait for the world to hear it. the tracklist on takk... is as follows:

1. takk...
2. glósóli
3. hoppípolla
4. með blóðnasir
5. sé lest
6. sæglópur
7. mílanó
8. gong
9. andvari
10. svo hljótt
11. heysátan

God they were AMAZING at the Manchester Lowry theatre on Saturday, I'm still awed.
