nattens madrigal may very well be the best ulver album

[Black Winter Day]

don't get me wrong, every. single. ulver. album. is godly. you have the melancholy, beautiful extremes of bergtatt, the somber reflections of kveldssanger, the total mindfuck brilliance of themes, the artful introspection of perdition city and the quiet alien soundscapes of the e.p.'s and lyckantropen themes. but for some reason... i can't explain it. some people say it took over 10 listens to finally stomach nattens. i loved it on first listen. and after this, only my second experience with the album, i love it even more. it's beautiful, eerie and extreme. it is, for all intents and purposes, the perfect black metal album. maybe the most perfect extreme metal album of all time. discuss.

Sorath will agree with you, I will not. Bergtatt is still better.

I am so glad winter is upon us...as the season changes, so does the music.

**idea!**

 

[NAD]

One can definitely make a case for it, as it is indeed an incredible album.

Bergtatt and Perdition City fight for #1 in my mind though.

 

[Black Winter Day]

once again, nice gray font!

 

[NAD]

I don't understand where it's coming from!?!?!?!?

You can fix that by hitting Shift + Enter
together.

I don't seem to have the font color change issue...?

 

[NAD]

I think I'm the only one. It only happens in the Quick Reply poops, but it is frequent. And that gray on gray is so easy on the eyes...

As Erik said, I fully agree. That album feels like being torn apart by hungry wolves in the cold fullmoon-lit winternight.

 

[Demonspell]

Perdition City will always be my favorite Ulver album, at least until the next one is released and because the Silence EPs (which I love to death) aren't full length. Of the earlier works, I prefer Bergtatt, though Kveldssanger is one of the all-time great moonlit forest albums.

 

[Nate The Great]

It's a close tie between Nattens and Bergtatt for me. Don't make me pick . . . I won't do it . . . you can't . . . make . . . me!
