for me, it's just really nice atmospheric, nordic music, at times monumental, mostly just relaxing and beautiful....
it's actually the only album i can listen to and study at the same time, perhapse it's because i can't understand a word they're saying so it's not distracting...

What I mean is that I feel that I was getting largely misled by music critics and DJs into thinking that Sigur Ros would sound a certain way and would give me a certain feeling, when in fact it sounded different to how they had described it and gave me a different feeling.
To use an analogy, imaging if you had never seen a great movie, The Shawshank Redemption, say. What if, before you saw it for the first time, somebody went on about it for an hour, telling you that it was the best martial-arts action movie they had ever seen, great choregraphy, awesome fight scene, amazing special effects. I think there would be a big chance that you would miss the drama waiting for the action to happen.
Likewise I think that, through being given the wrong impression by music critics etc. Sigur Ros have been one of those bands that I don't like because I'm listening to it from the wrong angle.
Generally I can explain why I like or dislike music, its pretty important for me to be able to do this!
