( ) is the third full-length album from Icelandic band Sigur R贸s, first released in February 2002. It comprises eight untitled tracks, divided into two parts: the first four tracks are lighter and more optimistic, while the latter four are bleaker and more melancholic. The two halves are divided by a 36-second silence, and the album opens and closes with a click of distortion. Lead singer J贸n 脼贸r Birgisson ("J贸nsi") sang the album's lyrics entirely in "Hopelandic", a made-up language consisting of gibberish words. ( ) reached No. 51 on the Billboard 200 and received acclaim from music critics, although some reviewers found the album weaker than the band's previous album 脕g忙tis byrjun. This is the first album to feature new drummer Orri P谩ll D媒rason who joined the band in 1999, replacing their previous drummer 脕g煤st 脝var Gunnarsson.
