I just wanted to say that I just listened to Slow Riot For New Zerø Kanada for the first time and I'm absolutely floored. Such a great EP.
... And you ask me: "Where's my hairspray?"

I was gonna get LYSF on vinyl when I was in America, but I went for Joanna Newsom's Ys instead. Among many other choices. I now own 9/10 of my top albums ever on vinyl, but the last one goes for $900 on eBay.  >:(

I'm really not as big on that album as the other. Rocket Fall on Rocket Falls is a fantastic song though.

I've been playing these guys all evening. Definitely one of my favorite bands. :heart

Antennas to Heaven really clicked with me even more tonight. Such a brilliant song.

I saw these guys live a few months back.  Loudest fucking concert ever.  I'm surprised my head didn't explode.  (I forgot my earplugs that night too :( :()

Nah on CD, I haven't bothered getting a turntable yet, Vinyls (while being more cooler and more of a collector-item) are just pretty clumsy, it's not something I can play in the car, and overall I think CD's are much more 'easy'.

I'll probably get a turntable eventually and start collecting Vinyls, but as of now I'm happy with my CD's.  :D

You guys are just clearly not cool enough



Anyway to keep this on topic, I wanna get into these guys. Where to start? I've only listened to Sigur Ros when it comes to post-rock so I want to expand my horizons.

Lift Your Skinny Fists ... is a perfect start. As is any other album. Keep in mind that Sigur Rós are not typical post rock, you might want to get used to the sound first with "easier" bands like Explosions In The Sky.

You and me go parallel, together and apart

Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada is their most accessible work for sure (because it's an EP), but I think both F#A# Infinity and Lift Your Skinny Fists... are better. The latter is pretty widely considered their best work. Basically you can't go wrong with this band except Yanqui (I'm not too big on that album).

Prepare for epicness. These guys are incredible.

Yanqui is fantastic.

There's a serious lack in dynamics on that album imo. The dynamics are what made their other material so good.

f#a#∞ remains as one of the best albums I've ever heard, I hope my vinyl comes with the flattened penny lol  ;D

What would you guys say is their next best thing, or a reasonable step to take after f#a#∞?

I'd probably say Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven.
It's my personal favorite, though the rest of GY!BE's material isn't far behind. :P
