Sigur Ros/YMMV


 * Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Their songs tend to be either this or Tear Jerkers.
 * Nightmare Fuel: One of the reasons why Von is such Early Installment Weirdness, contrasted with their signature Sweet Dreams Fuel. The opening track is a long ambient Drone of Dread with occasional loud screeches that really wouldn't be out of place on a Sunn O))) album.
 * "Dido".
 * Sequel Displacement: Nobody remembers the band had a career before Ágætis byrjun.
 * Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped: The video for "Viðrar vel til loftárása"
 * Tear Jerker: "Viðrar vel til loftárása". Dear Gods, "Viðrar vel til loftárása".
 * Also "Samskeyti", if you've seen Mysterious Skin.
 * Don't forget "Hoppipolla", "Sæglópur", "Untitled 1", "Untitled 2"... really, the band seems fond of this trope.
 * True Art Is Angsty: Their angsty songs (to be precise angsty melody since nobody understands the lyrics) from the earlier albums like Viðrar vel til loftárása, Untitled #1, and Sæglópur were received better by fans and critics alike compared to their Lighter and Softer approach for their last album Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust.
 * On the other hand, by far their most popular song is Hoppipolla, which is definitely Lighter and Softer.
 * Also,, being the moodiest of their albums is often considered one of their weaker works.
