They never make the same album twice that's for sure.

They're one of the most unique bands out there.

Album Rating: 4.0

They keep reinventing themselves, and that's really impressive.

For sure. m/

They've re-invented themselves into my favorite incarnation yet, and it just so happens to be during this time in my life when my interest in music in general has skyrocketed, so I'm VERY jazzed about the fact this album exists

Album Rating: 5.0

Finally got this on vinyl, fucking love this album

Album Rating: 4.5

this only makes me to listen Shadows of the Sun even more. I swear that album is perfect

definitely better that Messe

Album Rating: 4.2

Messe rules, but yeah Shadows is a 5 hard.

The wonders of MDMA.

Isnt the whole point of frequenting sites like this to find music you'll love? Or is it just a way to gain approval for overtly pretentious opinions lmao

Album Rating: 4.0

It’s the latter

I really can't see the appeal of this at all. I'm sorry, guys.

Reinvention its a nice thing to have. This is a cool album... I just can't get this "80's depeche mode dirge" among the lo-fi death metal bands scene. Beside reinvention i think a band should have something called identity. It's really difficult to get into this for someone who doesn't know the band.

What exactly are you trying to say? If I understand you correctly you are implying that Ulver have no identity (although a band "should have" one), but if it's easier to get into this for someone who knows the band, wouldn't that mean that the band does have a kind of identity?

I liked this sentence from metal-archives:
"The music here is often pretty simplistic and reminiscent of basic pop song structures, but somehow it still carries a distinct "Ulver flair" in the fact that it's still very hypnotizing, relaxing, and spiritually uplifting."

The Ulver flair is the identity. And it is difficult to get into, as it should be.

Exactly. There are 80s synth pop influences, but this is Ulver through and through



It’s amusing though that so many bands and solo artists, popular and underground alike, are embracing 80s music trends in the 2010s

Album Rating: 3.5

...and doing it better than the 80s themselves ever did

Album Rating: 4.0

There has been an immense 80s nostalgia hype going on for years now, not only in music, but also tv and cinema ... It's like everything returns 30 years after it's gone because the people who were shaped by it as teens are slowly getting old. Menopause nostalgia, so to speak.

HELTAHHH SKELLLLLTTAAAAHHHHHHH

Roach you are absolutely right. Get ready for the 2020's when the 90's (not that they ever truly left) make a comeback. God help us all...
