Anyone heard them? What's the hoopla?

I bought their first album because of the "hooplah" and was pretty let down.

The lead singer has a very VERY annoying high pitched whining voice. And he sings in this imaginary language he made up. The whole effect gets tiresome very quickly. Musically they're quite cool though. A bit like Radiohead's Amnesiac.

sigur ros are fantastic! lush melodies and music. Just saw them live and it was just amazing. They have a really cool way of playing and getting new sounds out of the same old instruments! so good. if you are not sure about them just download a few songs to sample.

I saw them live too, about two years ago. They're very young, and they have my respect. I have the first album, I like it, but I'm not really convinced to buy the second one. Anyone who has the two of them? Should I buy it?

I absolutely love the 2nd album. It's more of the same, but gorgeous nonetheless...it's great music for a rainy day

Sigur Ros latest albumn () is amazing:)
