Well, it's their best album since Seventh Son, so no. Plus, it's metal.
If anyone else released "Svidd Neger", it would have vanished into thin air.

No, nobody in the metal world would have listened to it, but I'm fairly confident it would have done extremely well in other circles...

*shrug* Most other genres and "scenes" tend to view metal derisively. Hence when metal bands change style, their roots tend to act against them maintaining popularity else where, as they are forever that "band that played that stupid noise, haha". That, I think, is the reason a lot of once-metal bands can't establish themselves in other genres.. So ner

Or they could just change their band name, as with the individual basis of "Garm" -> "Trickster G". I'm sure it can only help if they want to target a new audience that has nothing to do with metal.

I went chronological with Ulver even though I just got into them a few years ago. They have that certain something with every release so far, that one little bit that makes them Ulver. Band name change be damned, Ulver is a fucking awesome name.

Yes, they could
But in Ulver's case the changes in style are what make them Ulver, and they seem happy with where they're at.I've been trying to post this for ten minutes now

A story of my fagboyism:
I was pissed when Svidd Neger was released, it was the first example of Ulver going backwards with their sound because A Quick Fix sounded more "advanced" in the Ulver way of things. Then I found out Svidd Neger was recorded before A Quick Fix, just the release was delayed for whatever reason. So then my little world made sense once again.

Yeah, I figured the "sticky" threads up top would be hard to miss....particularly the ones that have been up for the last 7 days.

Yes, notice how Slough Feg are through to the next round. Unbelievable!
