I don't understand comparing this and Shadows with Bergtatt. Same band, completely different albums in almost every way. My favorite post-trilogy Ulver is Shadows, with this as a close second.

Anyone can say which album(s) they like more though, regardless of how different they are.

It's more stating which genre you prefer than the albums themselves (you even admitted that your opinion is based on that), unless someone likes bm and electronic/experimental/ambient completely equally, which I doubt for most people.

"unless someone likes bm and electronic/experimental/ambient completely equally, which I doubt for most people"



that is quite common within the fanbase of this band

It's been known to happen yea

There's a bias though, and when someone says they prefer one album of a completely different genre to another it speaks more to personal preference than opinions on the albums themselves, but there's obviously a major overlap so whatever. I try to be equal in my appreciation for all the genres they play, but I'd be lying if I said I listened to just as much experimental ambient as I did black metal.

you have a point but dude, the fans of this band usually appreciate the band's desire to experiment and are able to take their albums as they are (i might be naive and wrong but that's how i see it)

Album Rating: 4.5

There are people that will surely be like "fuck them, why don't they do their old stuff anymore?!" but the desire for a band to experiment in general usually yields fantastic results because most people would get bored of the same thing over and over again. This band in particular is pretty acclaimed for their experimentation.

Agreed, and appreciation of those styles is what I see by people like us on this site who regularly comment on Ulver

threads. For example my top favorites would be Bergtatt, Shadows, Perdition City, and Nattens but it just feels weird

mixing them. It's a strange case since almost no other band has a discography like this, one other that comes to mind is

Radiohead.

radiohead didn't experiment that much with their sound after all

Album Rating: 4.7

No band I can think of really experimented with their sound compared to Ulver

Album Rating: 4.5

manes for example have had quite a similar route to ulver, maybe not in the same scale but still

I don't get the people who write off their non-metal albums. Bergtatt is awesome because of it's atmosphere, not it's technicality (Garm does have some pipes). Sure Themes through Blood Inside might turn off metal fans with the industrial bits but there is so much ingenuity throughout. Shadows of the Sun and Messe both have unbelievable atmospheres that are super creative and moving as well. I think it's ridiculous all of the people up until now who have disregarded this band because they were no longer kvlt. Their loss though.
