No need to.
( ) is in hopelandic which is an amalgamation of sounds reminiscent of icelandic utilizing the occasional word if I remember correctly. It's all about the feels.

I had a purely emotional response at one point when I saw them at the Manhattan Center in NY, I'm pretty sure it was during Hoppipola. One of the best shows I have ever been to, hands down.

Von, right? I think I've heard one or two tracks. For the amount of times I've listened to Ágætis byrjun, ( ), and Takk...I find it weird to not have listened to that one...

Been lucky enough to see them probably 5-6 times over the course of 10 years, and every single time feels like the first.

( ) is a top 5 album of mine.
