10.22.14 | alternatively, no nevermind this is right |
pedro70512
10.22.14 | only have the top two. not particularly inclined to venture beyond. |
emester
10.22.14 | 1 and 2 are 1 and 2 no question |
Artuma
10.22.14 | inb4 jamietwort proclaims how non-bm ulver is far superior to bm ulver
also pedro yeah as you don't really listen to anything beyond metal i wouldn't really suggest listening to the other ones |
DungeonBoy
10.22.14 | 5 is better than 2 no question.. but good list! 3 is awesome, and doesn't get the love it deserves. |
dh198
10.22.14 | Haven't heard all of them, but 1 is 1 for sure. |
JamieTwort
10.22.14 | "inb4 jamietwort proclaims how non-bm ulver is far superior to bm ulver"
I won't proclaim that, I'll just say that I enjoy almost everything from Marriage onwards far more than their black metal/folk trilogy because it's more to my taste. |
JamieTwort
10.22.14 | and I'll also say that 4, 5 and 6 are 1, 2 and 3 'no question' and 'for sure'. |

Gotta hear the rest. |
ShrillYell
10.22.14 | Perdition City would be my favourite and Wars of the Roses as the worst thing they've done. |
JamieTwort
10.22.14 | "Wars of the Roses as the worst thing they've done."
lol
More like the most underrated thing they've done. |

haha well played. |
Xar
10.22.14 | 4 is 2. :] |
Totengott
10.22.14 | Nice list, but I would rank them differently. |
adr
10.22.14 | 4 is 2 [2]
also no way blood inside being last, also " A Quick Fix of Melancholy" ep is so underrated, it's like my 4th or 5th fav Ulver. |

Artuma
10.22.14 | @pleb terrible ranking :]
@adr quick fix is weaker than any of their full-lengths imo but it's still good. svidd neger on the other hand would be pretty high on here if i included it |
pedro70512
10.22.14 | Art we need you in the sunbather thread |
beefshoes
10.22.14 | Nice ranking.
I'd personally switch 3 with 5, then place Messe ahead of Perdition City and the Marriage of Heaven and Hell but that's just me. |
DungeonBoy
10.22.14 | svidd neger is the best "non" LP |
adr
10.22.14 | that's not an ep and i actually never listen to that one and wars of the roses damn i'm too lazy |
Artuma
10.22.14 | svidd neger is pretty much ep length tho |
KingdomOfTyrant
10.22.14 | 9 is top 3 lol |
Grimlin
10.22.14 | svidd neger is 16 tracks and 33 minutes so i'm pretty sure that makes it an lp. it would've made it to my list if i were to make one and would've been pretty high up at that |
Artuma
10.22.14 | 33 minutes is pretty short for an ambient album but yeah, it's sometimes considered as an lp |
Avagantamos
10.22.14 | I couldn't really get into this band |
Artuma
10.22.14 | damn dude, judging by your taste you should love this band |
facupm
10.22.14 | 1 is 1 |
Funeralopolis
10.22.14 | blood inside is 2 |
TalonsOfFire
10.22.14 | It's too bad because 8 and 9 have some amazing songs, but they feel so incomplete they would almost work better as EPs |
JamieTwort
10.22.14 | I really don't get what you mean when you say those albums would work better as EPs. Are you saying they would be better if they were shorter or what? |
Gameofmetal
10.22.14 | I've only heard 1 so can't really speak for the list. 1 is pretty damn good tho |
Artuma
10.22.14 | if you like 1 then feel free to check 2 and 7 as well. i don't think the rest are really your cup of tea |
TalonsOfFire
10.22.14 | JT I'm saying they're not long enough to be LPs, every time I finish listening to them I feel underwhelmed and want more. Shadows and Perdition City aren't much longer, but feel more complete and satisfying. |
JamieTwort
10.22.14 | I don't see how just calling an LP an EP would make you enjoy it more, especially when it would be far too long to be classed as such anyway. |
JamieTwort
10.22.14 | Also Wars of the Roses works just fine and is a relatively cohesive album if you ask me. Blood Inside on the other hand is a bit hit and miss; sometimes I thoroughly enjoy it in its entirety, others it's just kinda there if you get what I mean. |
Gameofmetal
10.22.14 | "if you like 1 then feel free to check 2 and 7 as well. i don't think the rest are really your cup of tea"
Been planning to check out their full classic trilogy. Tbh I don't know if I would like the rest because I still am not sure what their sound changed to, besides that it markedly changed. |
adarkishman
10.22.14 | nto a fan of neoflok i psose.. |
Artuma
10.22.14 | nah neofolk is cool, kveldssanger just isn't the best neofolk album i've heard |
TalonsOfFire
10.22.14 | JT I agree with what you're saying about Wars and Blood, but Wars could've easily been an EP without Stone Angels, it
would only be about 30 minutes. And Blood Inside too if they took out the filler/unnecessary stuff |
JoylessBastard
10.22.14 | 5 is 3 |
Artuma
10.22.14 | 3, 4 and 5 are practically interchangeable tbh |
adarkishman
10.22.14 | ur muM wasnt theE best girl ive Fucked doesnt meana i didnt like it |
adarkishman
10.22.14 | u feel me bro? |
Artuma
10.22.14 | ouch
never said i don't like kveldssanger tho |
adarkishman
10.22.14 | just a joke Mate dont stress about it ay |
Lambda
10.23.14 | Blood Inside is awesome what are you saying :( |
JamieTwort
10.23.14 | Gotta agree with Art that there's a lot better neofolk out there than 7. This is coming from someone who isn't that into the genre/style (even though folk is pretty much my favourite genre) but I've still heard quite a lot of that kinda stuff that I like more than Kveldssanger. |

10.23.14 | Kveldssanger is too low |
JamieTwort
10.23.14 | You got the first 3 right, Pleb (and you're not far off with the others). |
Nud
10.23.14 | Ive only heard 1 2 4 5 and 7, but i would have them in the same order. Nice ranking |
Keyblade
10.23.14 | Yeah Kveldssanger is mad underrated on here |
DungeonBoy
10.23.14 | Kveldssanger is one of the most, if not the most, influential albums for modern neofolk (Vali, October Falls, Empyrium, Musk Ox, etc.) but IMO has the same flaw as Bergtatt in that it drags. Both great albums, but neither would I say are Ulver's masterpiece. |
Gameofmetal
10.23.14 | Seriously tho what style did they change to after the first three albums? I'm still confused. |
Artuma
10.23.14 | marriage and perdition city are pretty hard to categorize, marriage is more like industrial and perdition is trip-hop or whatever the hell electronic music genre. their later stuff is more ambient |
Gameofmetal
10.23.14 | Well I really never would have guessed that.
wow |
Keyblade
10.23.14 | Dude if you haven't heard any of them, you need to get on em for real. Shadows, Perdition and Messe are up their with their first 3 |
Gameofmetal
10.23.14 | Which one should I start with? |
Keyblade
10.23.14 | Perdition City's a good starting point, but I'd go for Shadows because it's fucking glorious. It's hard to pick between it and Bergtatt as my favorite Ulver |
Gameofmetal
10.23.14 | Bergtatt is amazing, but I'll give it a shot |
TalonsOfFire
10.23.14 | I'm glad to see Marriage so high on this list, one of their most underrated |
Artuma
10.23.14 | yesss |
Gameofmetal
10.23.14 | Well Shadows is pretty sweet. Weird as hell but very pleasant to the ear. |
Artuma
10.23.14 | shadows is gorgeous. perfect choice for this time of the year |
Gameofmetal
10.23.14 | That album cover is really amazing too |
Masochist
10.23.14 | 'Perdition City' is my favorite, but I think 'Bergtatt' has to be given its due. 'Shadows of the Sun' is probably my second favorite, and definitely one of my favorite album covers by anyone. |
DikkoZinner
10.23.14 | 5 & 7 top shelf |
Artuma
10.23.14 | 5 could be even higher tbh. 7 not rly
