Well it's just so good.

I voted for Nattens Madrigal. That album is unbelievably raw, yet still melodic at the same time. Perdition City would be my next choice - in fact, I'm listening to it right now.

6. Blood Inside
7. Shadows of the Sun

but those last four are all basically tied...Ulver = greatness. one of my favorite bands.


yikes. in honor of some ulver re-listening i did tons of last night...I have to re-order this:

1. Blood Inside (10/10)
2. Perdition City (9/10)
3. Shadows of the Sun (9/10)
4. Blake (8/10--the latter disc is a bit boring)
5. Kveldssanger (8/10)
6. Lycantropen Themes (8/10--still underrated and unmistakably awesome, but the last few tracks are sort of out-of-place and go on a bit too long)
7. Bergtatt (7.5/10--very good for black metal; however, being that I am not really one FOR black metal...this one's good, but not excellent like their others to me.)

Are there any I need to check out, based on my favorites?

I didn't read anyone talk about 'Svidd Neger'. It's not my favorite Ulver album, but it's so damn nice. Thought at least someone would vote for it.

Svidd just has some amazing orchestral arrangments. Kind of like the 'A Quick Fix of Melancholy' EP. I thought it was awesome.

I've never listened to the Svidd Neger soundtrack by itself, but I do enjoy the movie, it's hilarious! Tongue

um, ULVER has just tonight jumped about 50 spots on my fav. artists of all time. Shadows of the Sun just sank in and its my favorite of the 5 that i have (bergatt, nattens madrigals, blood inside, perdition city, shadows of the sun) perdition city is still amazing but shadows of the sun moves mountains. or floats them away.

The more I listen to it the more I think Blood inside is a masterpice of modern music... a review will come in time, but as every new listen is... well, NEW, I cant figure out just yet what it should get... 4 or 5 stars?

Perdition City Was a bit disapointing, but the few times the vocals come up, they're almost tear jerkingly awesome!
 
I want Nattens Madrigal sooooo bad!!!!!

Just spent a few hours listening and reading the lyrics to "Blood Inside" and must say I'm hooked.  Very creative and just love the second half of this album..

Bergtatt is pretty much the pinnacle of folk/black, which is why I voted for it. I never really got into Nattern's Madrigal, there's something not honest about recording something deliberately raw after having clear production before hand. I love my raw BM, but the album seems to miss the point of being a raw album, and just seems fake. it's not really all that raw, the sound is still quite strong and powerful in some ways, it's just got horrible scratchy guitars for no reason.

Kveldssanger could be great, but it's probably not inventive enough in it's songs, and could have done with some of more Garms brilliant vocals. Blakes is good, I like the variation in it, but probably runs a little long (*cough* 20 minutes of silence for no reason *cough*) but it's an interesting album. I really like the new album, kind of like a half-ambient/half acoustic thing. Still prefer the black metal, but as far as that type of thing goes, it's pretty damn good.

Well, Nattens Madrigal was ridiculusly black metal....

And I just got Blood inside, but I need morer time to make a good opinion.
