But of course.
I was talking about the most accessible Burzum for a new sort of listener.

^ I love them all equally. But for someone wanting an "accessible" starting point, I certainly wouldn't throw them into any other album than Filosofem.
As I've said so many times, as have many other people, Burzum quite simply, is THE SHIT and totally untouchable. For me, it is the absolute elite of Black Metal as a whole.

Hmm. To me, I woudl say that Filosofem is less accessible than Det Som Engang Var. In fact, I would go so far as to say that it is their least accesible work.

Yep. Filosofem being his last metal album. Although, I would say that his non-metal ablums are more accessible the black metal stuff.

No.
A new listener is less likely to pay detailed attention to the ambient tracks. Those will become more apparent as the listener becomes more fond of the material, Burzum is a gradual thing.
Over the years, it was widely agreed upon that Filosofem is the most accessible release of the discography (excluding the ambient albums), however, the first album is more linear and straightforward yes, but Det Som Engang Var and Hvis Lysett Tar Oss are not.
Varg's guitar playing is terrible though from what i have heard. Are there any better tracks that dont sound like he has been playing guitar for 3 months?
....and i have been listioning to sardonic wrath alot of by darkthrone.....underrated i think

Burzum was never about technical proficiency. If Varg's lack of technical skill puts you off, Black Metal probably isn't the genre for you.

Agreed. I don't know why people say his playing is terrible, I think it's pretty good. He doesn't need to shred or tap his ass through songs. Fuck that powermetal gayness, what a load of shit. Black Metal is above that kind of childish garbage.
Bingo. You deserve a beer for that call, you couldn't have said it better

Do you think I give a shit about what's widely agreed upon? I'm not talking about what's the most accessible release, I'm talking about what's the most accessible release coming from a Black Metal background. I think the obvious answer the that question is the earlier, the more accessible. Det Som Engang Var is pretty accessible for the most part too, which makes sense, because a lot of the material he wrote during the same time that he wrote the material for the debut, if not earlier.

And this is such a stupid fucking statement that it's not even funny. Black Metal is not "above" any fucking thing. It just so happens that technical proficiency is irrelevant in Black Metal. "Fuck that powermetal gayness?" Jesus Christ, sometimes you're really fucking narrowmindedly ridiculous to the point that it's comical when it comes to Black Metal.

That's lovely. You spend your entire time picking posts to disagree with. Shut the fuck up, or post something which isn't a retort to something someone is saying for a change. You have constant shit coming out of your mouth, I'm fucking sick of it. Welcome to my ignore list.
