Can't say any of these rocked my boat terribly much. Sigur Ros is Sigur Ros is Sigur Ros. That is nether good nor bad simply Sigur Ros. Peter Kriss not my speed. Riverside, yeah OK but I doubt I'll investigate further. Elephant9 I'll definitely be having a further listen to but man, Sunday morning music it is not. E9 but not with a lot of enthusiasm.

lets see what is the scorecard here
1 already failed attempt to get into via this album / Sigor Ros 1 band seen live and heard the album several times. Enjoy but not a favorite/ Riverside 1 band we have albums from but not this specific one / Don Caballero 1 band I heard of... but not heard / elephant9
and I'll start with the Norweigians next...

I do have to say one thing for Math-rock, they do have... bar NONE.... the best song titles
Down to the last few songs as I expected... not taking the vote from Elephant9.
I do like math-rock but in general... like math itself it is cold and souless.. all precision, perfection and attention to detail like a good KC song
That is important when balancing your checkbook.. or sh*t man.. when doing equations to make that nuke falls where you want it to go. but in music? I live for passion and excitment.. fire and most importantly soul. To hit you in the two areas that count other than the head...
elephant9 Walk the Nile it is... but still did enjoy 'the Don' it is something that is best served occasionally and will never be a perfered style of music.

Sigur Rós over Elephant9 over Don Caballero for me, but I really didn't like the Riverside album (haven't enjoyed anything I've heared from them), and I hope two of the other three will go through, so I'll hold my vote for now.
tough choice between don cab, sigur ros, and elephant9. I think don cab is a lost cause at this point, so I'll give it to elephant9 since I listen to that album more often and I really don't want riverside to win lol

I do appreciate Sigur Ros. A friend of mine let me listen to some other SR music, not from AB, but stuff that I absolutely love. Have to ask him again what it was. Meanwhile, my vote goes to Riverside. Not innovative maybe, but I definitely enjoy listening to them, so they deserve my vote.
