I like both albums a lot. So I have a little comparison like this. We're all human (well, most of us) and we all need a little variety in life. We need civilization as well as the wilderness. I see Borknagar as a concrete building, solid and ominous - as we need the city. Vintersorg is more like the dynamics of nature - as we need the great outdoors.
Both good in their own way, and both good for the type of atmosphere we need to create at that moment. Compared only by a few elements, but separate in their own moods that are reflected by their different appeals.
