Exodus

I don't know why it's coming out now, but it's beautiful, a concentrate of pure '70s rock. Even though some songs are not easy to listen to, the sound fills you like never before; it's a bit like Made in Japan for Deep... the proof that live performance was their strong point.

Beyond the arguments, in terms of music, this is a great album to get closer to the genre, very very beautiful. The review is well done, but only because you're talking about a compilation. The story of an artist should only be mentioned in these cases. I give you 4 because there is a certain subjectivity in some points. But if you push yourself, you can do better. Bye bye. P.S. don't touch Clapton, he has a lot to teach to many.

You're right about RH fans, mr_iko. I had the pleasure of exchanging opinions at the concert in Florence on 9/7/03, and believe me, maybe only 10% realized whether they were playing well or really messing up. As you said: "after all, they are RH and everything they do is sacred to many." Moreover, I found myself among a group of crazed drugged-up fans that you could hardly find even in a nightclub. As a result, I followed the concert very poorly, and like me, several young and adult people (and I emphasize ADULT because there were some) were very disappointed by the crowd listening to them or at least by the majority. As for the many reviews, I often visit de-baser not to write but to look for valid artists, and when I see a lot of reviews, I tend to discredit them a bit. I don't know why, but the more I hear about an artist, the less they attract me; in fact, I tended to discredit the RH.

mr_iko, RH made me want to vomit, believe me. I thought that listening to basically only music from the 60s and 70s meant listening to "real" music, the foundation of modern genres, and therefore being "knowledgeable," but I didn't listen to anything else. The evolution of music must be followed and understood, even if it’s often hard. Artists like Pink Floyd, The Beatles, or Experience no longer exist; on the other hand, there are billions of "musicians," some commercial, others unknown or light-years ahead, and it's difficult to spot the real ones, meaning those who write to convey emotions to people (and not just to their wallets). By listening to everything, I've managed to appreciate them, and unexpectedly, they overwhelmed me: I can receive from RH emotions different from everything music has given me so far, and I hope that one day you will have this luck too ;-) 3 to Solomon because those who appreciate the album understand you, but I'm not sure you could convince someone wanting to get close to RH. 4 to the album because it's unique but lacks a little something... p.s. I hope you don't ban me: I agree with those who listen to them under THC, RH's songs improve/change. Anyway, I don't want to incite anyone to cannabis, hehe.

I see that you studied More than etc. etc... "atom..." was not written only by Waters, but especially by Wright, who had studied classical music, with the participation of Geesin. Then, before "atom..." they also made More, and in this, in my opinion, they began to give less space to psychedelia; I see atom as alternative but not psychedelic. For the rest, I agree with you it’s a masterpiece, and it's hard to describe "what" you listen to because here we are not talking about music but about infinite space. P.S. I'll give you a passing grade because I understand you and appreciate the courage in reviewing. For the album, I give it a 4 because it's not complete like others; to me, after 10 years from the first listen, it hasn't left much in some songs.

hoops sorry but it said incorrect password so I’m resending it

I don't consider myself well-versed, but rather very selective when it comes to music:
I’ll start by saying that I really like Sigur Rós, and among the bands out there, I consider them to be some of the most brilliant. Tastes are tastes, and anyway, they don’t shy away from the commercial side; if they remix a piece by Bach successfully, I don’t see what’s wrong with that. After all, the greatness of a musician isn’t just about originality, even if I don’t think they lack it, just listen to them. Did they copy pieces from the 1600s? I don’t know, but if they did, honestly, I don't care. I prefer to let myself be enveloped by their atmosphere.
This is what we call listening to music without prejudice.
(Pink Floyd the best)
