User Reviews:
Gecks, Apr 04, 2005

Ive always felt Sigur Rós are mistakenly lumped in with the rest of the Post Rock scene. I believe they have far more in common with Shoegazer acts such as Slowdive (Myrkur from their debut is pure Slowdive) and My Bloody Valentine, and even some of the more leftfield pop acts like The Flaming Lips. They do demonstrate a mastery of dynamics like many Post Rock acts, but rarely to they resort to the usual effects-pedal push to the finish. Anyway, whatever they are, and whatever it is that they do, I for one hope they keep doing it!

(Oh and whilst Im here - if you ever get the chance of seeing this band live, take it!)
