i find nothing remotely interesting about that album

How much have you listened to it? Drawing Down the Moon is not an instantly-gratifying album.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I usually listen to the entire album. Filosofem is the definition of an album imo.

Same, I always listen to it. It's a masterful work of ambient, that song.

I personally prefer 'Det Som Engang Var' but most of Varg's work comes off well.

I usually listen to the entire album. Filosofem is the definition of an album imo.

I used to be discouraged from doing so by the long ambient songs of his, but I've grown to love them and see how well they fit into the overall structure of the album. Genius.

I think Rundgang is just too long. It breaks up the flow of the album. 'Tomhet' from Hvis Lyset Tar Oss creates a similar atmosphere much more effectively if you ask me.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I like both, Tomhet has a stylistic change halfway through while Rundtgåing is much more minimalistic (indeed it's like...3 notes).

 

[Manic Ferocity]

For some reason it doesn't really bore me though. I guess I have a lot more tolerance for lengthy ambient songs (probably because it's really peaceful and not really a strain on the ears).

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Yeah I don't find it boring. The transitions are so fluid.

Filosofem is my favourite Burzum album. I never really think about turning it off or skipping tracks. It flows very well from one track to the next and it all just seems natural. I can see why some might find Rundgang... to be too long, though.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I would have to say Hvis Lyset Tar Oss is my favorite when it comes down to it. It's simply flawless.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Truth.

[~Derek~]

The songs from Filosofem I've heard are better than the ones I heard off Hyvis Lysett Tar Oss.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

The albums are to be heard as albums; single songs do not do justice.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I think he still has yet to grasp that concept.

 

[JontRevolting]

Why do you care?

Anyway, I never cared much for Burzum or Mayhem. I found Dark Funeral to be even worse.

What is you people's opinion of Enthroned and Lord Belial?

Enthroned totally rule,everyone should checkout "The Apocalypse Manifesto" it contains one of my favourite songs ever!!"The Scourge Of God",it's about Attila The Hun and kicks some Major ass

 

[Zephyrus]

Filosofem is easily the most accessible Burzum album, and by that I mean almost every song is more accessible than ones on earlier albums. So naturally, Derek will cling to them.

 

[Hypnos]

^^i disagree completely. i think it's the least accessible Burzum release (besides the Casio crap). i never liked 'Filosofem' and will probably never like it.

 

[JontRevolting]

the first album's the best IMO! WAR!!
