Rating: When I listened to song number 8 of the album for the first time, on my Bari-Rome at 8:14 near Casertano, I told faithful Federico that if at that moment I had found myself on the edge of a cliff, I would have launched myself running and shouting at the top of my lungs. Into that void I needed, between two parentheses anchored to my life. Then I thought of submitting this review here.
While I followed those terrifying air pockets with my senses and my dreams, and the green leaves that fled moist against my window, I spoke with my eyes to a little rabbit with a trapped paw, I took a leap on the stairs of a heaven marked by golden drops and glided into hell caressing the fire with my hands.
I trembled for a night in a forest absorbed by the night. The cold and the heat. The day and the night. Life and death. In an abyssal leap between two parentheses.
These are Sigur Ros. The void of an immense moment, just enough time to touch the shining breeze of life. I arrived at Termini, where my secret will be kept among the swift steps of the midday crowd.

you sigh low tonight
you're so alone
you're so
you sigh alot and fight
you're so lost
you're so
you fight so low
you're so alone
you sigh low
your sighs are low
you're so

Sigur Rós take the rejection of words to the extreme: "()" has as its title two brackets, or a symbol.
A beautiful album. And words don’t matter, what the songs say is created by your own mind.
By Moridin
Sigur Rós’ music reflects the solitude of Iceland’s eternal ice and the melancholy of the endless night.
You listen to it and you like it even if you can’t understand why, it seduces and captures you before you realize it.
By fede
It is absolutely the most moving, emotional, pathos-rich, tear-filled, deep, dark, and luminous album I know.
More than an album, a life experience, a portal to unexplored inner places, a key to your deepest memories and most ancestral urges.
By Listening Room
The voice thus becomes purely a musical instrument, capable of evoking emotions that evidently cannot be expressed in words.
Everyone is free to decide which brush to use in painting the mental journey that inevitably arises from listening to ( ).
By Elizium
Boundless landscapes, sound depths of penetrating emotional intensity, where the journey between earth and sky leads you to an imaginary world, incredibly real and perfect.
Once you hear them, you understand that you can’t do without them anymore. Because they give substance and hope, they dig oceans and raise mountains.
