I'm halfway through and it is much better than I expected based on this thread. Really enjoying it tbh.

Is this good background music while working?

I slightly prefer Liminal, Riverhead, and Scary Muzak, they had some really cool melodies and interesting sound design going on in places. This does too but it's surrounded by more nondescript background music in their recent style that sounds more homogenized than before. As usual the closer is real good and sounds the most inspired. I'm glad they're having fun but would welcome a future change in direction any time haha

This one instantly clicked with me while I found Liminal to be underwhelming when I checked. Maybe it’s the vocals that makes the difference, but this one also has more experimentation, while being soothing at the same time. It’s like the little sibling of Coil’s Musick… albums.

Gonna wait a little longer until I rate, but at the moment I'm digging it. There's plenty to get your head around, and I like the way it jumps all over the place. After so many albums, I kinda feel like Ulver don't owe me anything so I'm happy just to listen to what makes them happy at this point.

Also through headphones the mix sounds great...

I don't hate this as much as some of you, but I think this is easily their worst. It comes off as really bland (for Ulver especially), and the music just doesn't go anywhere.

You can clearly tell these dudes are masters of their craft but the music feels so dry and emotionless.

I will say that i do still find "they're coming! the birds!", "welcome to the jungle", and "fire in the end" to be overall enjoyable tracks albeit i don't like how many songs feel like they just end and that's it.

Had this been released as a single-track album, no one would complain about unfinished ideas.

I think this record suffers as a mainline entry in their discog. Some of my favorite Ulver records, most notably a handful of their movie soundtracks, are compilations of "unfinished ideas", but this album falls short of what they've put out over the years. Comparing this to anything like Bergtatt, Perdition City, Shadows of the Sun, and it's just pretty underwhelming. Fully competent but underwhelming.

Just kinda glad they’re not giving us yet another synthpop album, even if it does give CD sampler. And yes this is good background music for working alone IMO

This is good, almost a return to form, with all analogies accounted for.

Try listening to this after a long day, it will sound much much better.
