If you are slightly interested in or enjoy the music of Sigur Rós you will love this. If you enjoy mournful music that connects with nature, you'll love this. This is not Spinal Tap, it is proper grown up art. Post-rock, whetever that is, in that they overlay textures and sounds over traditional rock chords to paint sonic images of Icelandic geology and geography. Personally, I can probably manage no more than one Sigur Rós song a day, before finding a need to plug my brain into the mains to wake it up a bit. It can be a bit depressing, a bit intense. There's no humour, everything is taken very seriously. If you like that kind of performance, then I guess that's you. I personally enjoy entertainment, and this is not it. But I can still recognise the passion and professionalism here. Maybe one day I'll find a need to spin up a whole Sigur Rós album, but that day is not today.
