    I really like (), but felt the vocals on the other releases were too high pitched. Are there any songs on this cd were the vocals are sung at a lower register? Or songs like track 8 on (), you know the one that get's pretty heavy at the end (at least for this band).

    I'm glad the new one is good. I have not picked it up yet.

    I almost consider Sigur Ros an instrumental band because i never have any clue what they are saying lol

    it's a bit of a mix, there certainly are a few high pitched songs. Hijomalind on hvarf & the acoustic Staralfur on heim are so goooooood!

    Me too. Since I have no idea what he's singing, it's almost as if his voice is just another instrument on top! :)

    His voice is an instrument... on some songs, he sings Icelandic (with actual lyrics), but that's only on select songs... on the majority of songs he's singing what Jonsi (the lead singer) calls "Hopelandic"... he describes it as the step before singing with words... it's just like singing so his voice is acting as an instrument. I believe all the songs on this new CD are sung in Hopelandic, if I'm not mistaken.

    For example... the album () is all in Hopelandic... there are no lyrics for that album.
    If I could, think I would give in.

    Yes, that's what it seems like. :)

    Bought this yesterday and it's excellent. Great to see that my two favourite tracks from () are both on 'Heim'.
