Agreed. Honestly just can't get into Sigur Rós. It's pretty, but boring as fuck.

Is it solipsistic in here or is it just me?

Oh my god this album is gorgeous. It's in my top 100, one of my favorite post-rock albums. You talk about soundscapes, this is exactly that.

This is in my top 25 or something, but for some reason I've never been able to get into other Sigur Rós records. I'd literally take a single track from here (apart from the opening and closing ones) over their entire discography bar AB. I just think they've found the perfect balance between the melodic and catchy aspects of their music, and the atmospheric and ambient ones, here. The soundscapes are beautiful, but I think we can truly talk about songwriting here. This is like the limit between pop and ambient. Well that's how it feels to me. So yeah, great. Their other works aren't nearly as catchy nor as sonically powerful.

it is wonderful how these guys are unknown so that all kinds of people who might be smart enough to like them don't get the chance, while garbage is king
