I should relisten before I vote, but off of memory I would go with option #2

I love Sigur Ros, although for me this album was more difficult to get into than several others. Anyway, the relentless power of Ny Batteri draws my vote.

This album is extremely dear to me, and along with ( ) probably among my top 10 albums ever. So it's hard to pick one, but it might well be Viðrar Vel Til Loftárasa. I think I might listen to this one tomorrow.

Me, too. It's full of such devastating, powerful music.

Took me a while to start marvelling at this album (and band). The " Svefn-g-englar" and "Staralfur" combo always gets me but my vote goes to the underdog, "Olsen Olsen".
I'd tend to say that I prefer the paranthesis album over this one these days.

My introduction to the extraordinary and unique sound of this Icelandic band, I happen to find myself humbled and astonished at many of the soundscapes here, but it is " Ný Batterí" that pulls me back and never fails to amaze.
