05.24.21 | While my love for most other EDM has all but disintegrated due to something i like to call 'angsty music nerd degeneracy' permeating my life as I know it, (most of) the work of Joel Zimmerman refuses to be obliterated by such relentless, shameful fate. Is it nostalgia? My general admiration for the guy? His influence on my own work, even though I've long stopped producing house music like this? Who knows. But one thing is definitely for sure. The guy is painfully underrated and I'm extremely proud to say that. |

05.24.21 | Bergtatt at 12 is a... choice |
porcupinetheater
05.24.21 | Park you a Michelin starred pasta chef ❤️❤️
Bergtatt never grabs me idk, it’s still a 4. But it’s been outdid by lots of folkblack since. Doesn’t grab the throat the way Nattens do. 12-8 are also all basically interchangeable, but putting the edgiest pick at 12 is the way to go |
budgie
05.24.21 | feel kinda surprised 1 is 1 but 7 is 7, they read like sister material to me |
Pangea
05.24.21 | i love you porc but i can never forgive you for putting bergtatt at 12 |
porcupinetheater
05.24.21 | 7 is prob 7 because I've jammed 1 walking around an abandoned quarry in the middle of the night and have not done the same for Silence[s]. Perdition City been juicin' |
budgie
05.24.21 | i recommend it man, they're both excellent night time wandering music and tap into that same creepy urban deserted film noir thing |
porcupinetheater
05.24.21 | Fuck yes, they're starting some construction on the river walk this week too, perfect wandering timing. Bump pending |

beefshoes
05.24.21 | Fair enough. Great ranking |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.24.21 | This ranking is 9/10 accurate, only major issues are Blood Inside much too low and Kveld too high, but otherwise:
>Messe on par with Shadows
>Perdition tops
>Flowers, Drone Activity and Themes right down low where they belong
>Bergtatt lowish and Nattens much higher
>Teachings and ATGOIAFIOF getting that respect
this is based and incontestable it is featured for low-effort truthing |
Pikazilla
05.24.21 | I do not endorse this. |
Slugboiiii
05.24.21 | Messe is so great |
porcupinetheater
05.24.21 | Sorry Pika, Johnny cosigned, that's two red text certifications. You're on the wrong side of history, amore
Messe is so great [2] hope to God Ulver has at least another chamber piece up their sleeves |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.25.21 | bump this list fuckers |
Pangea
05.25.21 | messe getting a high place is the salvation this list needed, although 1 is a very respectable 1 choice as well |
Trifolium
05.25.21 | Yippee!!!!!! Love the 2 love!!!!!! I'd put 15 much higher and 6 much lower but hey, love all of them.
Our rankings would actually pretty different. |
kkarron
05.25.21 | Bergtatt way too low even if you dislike black metal. Can never argue with Perdition City on the very top tho. |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.25.21 | I acc love this ranking more the longer I look at it
which is a long time |
MiloRuggles
05.25.21 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq2h_PGomG8
Bergtatt needs to be higher, ATGCLVLSSCAP needs to be a lil lower (still great) otherwise this is solid (tho i needa relisten to about a quarter of those to really contest anything else) |
Artuma
05.25.21 | solid but wtf are bergtatt and marriage doing down there near the bottom |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.25.21 | Marriage is the stuff of worst album gold dust tbqh |
Egarran
05.25.21 | >12-8 are also all basically interchangeable
I feel this undermines the entire project. |
porcupinetheater
05.25.21 | “Bergtatt way too low even if you dislike black metal.”
Check my pie chart. Nattens where it at.
Egar please save me from myself. Made this list and immediately my fingers started twitching, like they’re trying to write a track-by-track review |
porcupinetheater
05.25.21 | Marriage is a disjointed overambitious mess and I respect the hell out of it and also pre much am never in the mood for an album that everyone I've seen rank it up in the tippy top say you have to sit down and read the William Blake excerpts to fully appreciate it. A sloppy transition is a sloppy transition |
Pikazilla
05.25.21 | William blake is absolute trash,yes
poopheads love it though |
Egarran
05.25.21 | woah he's resorting to the hard stuff now |

porcupinetheater
05.25.21 | Get your leather and your snapbacks, William Blake is thrashing like it's 1986 |
Pikazilla
05.25.21 | William Blake is dead, as is thrash |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.25.21 | Ulver's willingness to combined genres as disparate as Thrash Metal and Creep Techno on their 4th LP Themes From William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell was at the time ridiculed by their crust corpsefan base, but what most people don't realise is that the band were actively hoping to alienate the majority of their audience in the short term. What they failed to account for was that the record's conceptuality of songwriting and also concepts were too cringe for the floorboard techheads they were hoping to appeal to, and their subsequent forays into melt ambient were nothing more than fishings for retroactive acclaim because that crowd will eat up literally anything. It is thrash. |

Egarran
05.26.21 | I wonder why Ulver seems to attract an above average number of gatekeepers. |
BaselineOOO
05.26.21 | I agree 100% with the ranking.. but then again I disagree that Ulver is good enough of an act to put such a list together. |
Pikazilla
05.26.21 | Baseline, what bands do you believe warrant a ranking list |
BaselineOOO
05.26.21 | Genesis, Led Zeppelin, Autechre, Beach Boys, Can, The Doors, Tool, Immolation, in this order. That's about it. |

Lol Ulver records are literally a gated community
Also all fighting is good for ranked lists, it was what they are here for. That said the only Ulver hill I will absolutely die on is that Nattens is fucking miles ahead of Bergtatt |
cordwainerbird
05.26.21 | why are they gated |

Gyromania
05.28.21 | Actually a good ulver ranking. I'd put blood inside much higher, otherwise solid choices |
