Sigur Ros

I'm slow. I'm a laggard sometimes. I never understood the Sigur Rós hype. Until I sat down in the right mood and really listened to their latest album "Takk...". Sigur Rós
...make music that sounds like elves rutting in ice castles or dragons bathing in geysers... the Icelandic quartet's fourth album, has bolted to the girders of its monumental eauty.... If you imagine the noise God makes just before he eats a slice of cheese on toast, then comparably, that's how satisfyingly yearning the 65 minutes of 'Takk...' sounds... (from the NME.COM review).
So what if "all their songs remind the same" to quote Revolver? Hey, never mind. If you're a bit moody and as slow as me, this one's fer u. I surrender.
