It's laughable for about 40 seconds and then you just want to slit your wrists/put something not shitty on.

So are the keyboard parts really all that bad or is it just intolerable after listening to them for a long period of time?

They're horrible. This is some of the music bland, drab and uninspired shit I've ever heard. The only comedy comes from putting into perspective:

some asshole in jail thinking way too highly of his ability and trying to output an album way beyond anything he's capable of.

Charlie Parker can get away with playing a toy saxaphone. Varg Vikernes is not Charlie Parker.

From what I've read on his site, he really doesn't care what people think of his albums. I don't think he put out this album because he is too sure of himself. This is the only equipment he could get in prison; thus, he made this album. On top of that, he composed it in one or two months.

He even says on his site not to expect anything from him when he is released from prison. He says you will have to search for his albums.

I want to hear the saxophone part now, though, just so I can laugh.

He obviously thinks highly enough of himself to release a concept album played on a toy fucking piano that he took almost no time to compose.

He didn't have any time and this was his only equipment. They wouldn't supply him with anything else and they said he could only have it for two months. I guess he could have decided not to compose an album, but I think he just composed it because he wanted to, not because he wanted people to love it.

I know its just me but i dont think this is as bad as people make it out to be.

But it's not as good as the other albums so it's shadowed greatly.

This album was a severe waste of my time I think that it would be better recieved by fans of Varg who have followed his life and career. This album is basically his insanity in the form of music. But it's still not very good musically.This Message Edited On 10.14.07

I've actually enjoyed what I heard off here. Daudi Baldrs,

Hermodr Á Helferd, and Bálferd Baldrs are a great listen.

I think if better sounding instruments (or completely different instruments for certain parts) were able to be used here this would be improved tenfold, my main complaint is the cheesy tones sounding rather unsettling mixed together.

Compositionally it reminds me of RPG music, say FF7. Simple ostinatos, lots of repetition, some of it horrible but it's not all bad if I approach listening to it in this manner. This wasn't the intention I am sure, but it's the only way to cope with it for me :p

Its terrible.

Sieg Heil is right.



And I like it because it is the evil and hatred of black metal in a different form. It's completely unique and portrays Varg's insanity and anguish using the only means he has to play music.

Charlie Parker can get away with playing a toy saxaphone. Varg Vikernes is not Charlie Parker.

This album is so seigy and heily



I think that 3 of out 5 is reasonable for this album. I judge 3 things on an album, music, originality, and artistry and originality and this album has the latter two in spades. It's just not the metal sound like Hvis Lyset Tar Oss that metalheads are so addicted to so they rate it a 1 one call it complete garbage.
