Sigur Ros is a better band but I like F#A# more than Agaetis Byrjun.
Samuel Cruz
Godspeed
Hudson Cook
gy!be by far imo
Ian Cooper
It's the opposite for me.
Liam Rodriguez
yep
Matthew Turner
Godspeed have only one meh album, Sigur Ros have a couple meh ones and one bad one.
Boy if you don't
Sebastian Sanchez
F# A# Infinity is probably the only good thing that came out of either of their discographies
Thomas Wood
Godspeed by far.
Sigur Ros' album manages that heavenly sound, but it doesn't really go anywhere.

Never checked out Von for some reason.

I don't really compare them.
Sigur Ros is a lot more ethereal sounding, and I treat it like dream pop. GY!BE is much more aggressive and I treat it like rock.
Evan Powell
Don't really like either. Godspeed is generic crescendocore and Sigur Ros is only good if you're exceptionally toasted.

>implying creshendos are bad
>implying you shouldn't treat something differently than being cliched because it invented those cliches
Xavier Perez
That's untrue.
Anthony Sullivan
Godspeed made the crescendo cliche? Please leave.
Colton Brown

Daniel Price

Xavier White

Josiah Fisher
>implying LYSF isn't an obvious concept album
Kevin Peterson
anyone else hear the Arca/Actress/OPN influence in this
Wyatt Russell
I think he means that Godspeed's sound has been ripped off and watered down by pretty much every modern post-rock band, but that doesn't mean the real Godspeed aren't still excellent
Lincoln Clark
It's apples and oranges, really. GY!BE have a political/social message and they want to awake you, make you angry; Sigur Rós are pure aesthetes, they're way more varied sonically but they have barely any roots to the world of social discourse (to the point of eschewing discourse as a whole in some albums).
It's kind of like says. We should just be grateful we have them both desu.
Sebastian Morales
People will call me pleb but definitely Sigur Ros. GYBE has always bored the hell out of me and I ususally like post-rock

Here's a story of when the two bands toured together, and Sigur Ros brought a full-sized organ.

I was at that show. It was one hot ass summer afternoon in Toronto and the band was doing an all-ages matinee after playing a 19+ show the previous night. Vic Chesnutt was supposed to open, but unfortunately he was too sick to play. As a result, Silver Mt. Zion played a longer set than originally planned. This show was from their 13 Blues for 13 Moons tour, and the song they introduce at the end of the clip showed up on their following album. Not that anyone cares.
