Pizzicato Heartstrings
Some bands that garner much praise but have never appealed to me all that much:
Agalloch - I enjoy the atmosphere and the riffs, but much of it seems repetitive and overwrought.
Summoning - same goes for these guys. They are epic as hell, but their keyboards bother me and their songs drag on for way too fucking long without any progression.
Xasthur - the haunting ambience is definitely present, but songwriting is severely lacking in most of his albums.
