I jam stuff strictly by year, 2011 wasn't on my schedule until now.

Edit: I know how retarded it is but, well, that's how it makes sense to me I guess :/

I know, it is so long overdue! Especially with Assassination being generally loved as is, this more direct sidestep is at least as deserving of recognition (even more so if you ask me!).

Hot take this is just as cheesy as Assassination but that album's genre choice wears it better

Still solid though - that opener and Island phwoar

Island might even be my fave Ulver track by now it's crazy. All of these rule super mega hard.

Tell me the closer, Providence and England aren't edgycheesy

Not that it detracts much from them, Ulver have always had a way with making cheese spooky and incredible (Nowhere, Eos and Dressed in Black holy shit)

They're a similar kind of kitsch and their dark/depressing/reflective content doesn't change that

This review is the ultimate bad faith take on this - I obvs think Ulver are awesome and make kitsch work for them, but it's very much a no smoke without fire scenario
