[AceRoccola]

I've heard Collossus, i don't see why it's held so very high among fans...i enjoy a number of other songs more, maybe i should give it another listen or two?

 

[The Black Canvas]

Yes Colossus is a very good song

 

[MFJ]

Collosus was I think the first song I heard by Borknagar ever... and I think thats why I like it so much. One song that i've recently rediscovered is Revolt... that has some premium Vocals by vortex. Awesome tune.

 

[Necramentia]

colossus
grimskalle trell
the witching hour
ad noctum
universal
the presence is ominous
eye of oden
grimland domain
soulsphere
the stellar dome
the black token
inherit the earth

 

[dia_hain]

Black Token

- Asgeir

with Black Token because out of nowhere comes those high notes. But I would have to say Ocean's Rise. Love, Love, Love that song.

 

[Starwind85]

The Winterway
A Tale of Pagan Tongue
The Genuine Pulse
Soul Sphere
Inherit the Earth
Universal
Winter Millenium
Colossus
Nocturnal Vision
The Mountains Rove

 

[Erik Tiwaz]

Among my favourites:

Black Token
Soul Sphere
Universal
Revolt

 

[CyR1c]

My top 5...which they should play at any concert IMO

Universal
Colossus
the Dawn of the End
Soul Sphere
the Black token

Furthermore all songs with Vortex are real great, a shame he quit the band for Dimmu...

 

[g-magnetic]

all of their songs have something likeable in them, but the ones i like a lot are

Inherit the Earth
Ad Noctum
Colossus
Invincible
Oceans Rise
The Mountains Rove
The Presence is Ominous
The View of Everlast
Witching Hour
Soul Sphere
Gods of My World
Four Element Synchronicity
etc, i dont want to list their whole collection haha

 

[Genesis_Torn_Quintessence]

This is like asking me why the sky is blue..
GENESIS TORN! (enigma solved, utopia found, euphoria born)
My close second would have to be Soul Sphere
The Genuine pulse another close one but is tied wiht Rivalry of Phantoms for 3rd
4) Grimskalle Trell
all the rest are number 5

 

[Jericha]

I'm recently getting into this band and they're pretty great, so far I really like

Soulsphere
Revolt
Winter Millenium

and Ad Noctum, Gods of My World, and Universal kick ass too.

 

[makethestringscry]

Colossus(The song that made me a fan)
The View of Everlast
The Genuine Pulse
Oceans Rise

And others i can't remember...

 

[Fiery Vortex]

Shit, I really like ALL songs... Really! That's why I walk with the Borknagar logo written in my backpack, telling everyone that I'm a HUGE fan of this band! But my favorite songs are:

Vintervredets Sjelesagn
A Tale of a Pagan Tongue
Ad Noctum
Invincible (man... When I first listened to this one, I almost died! The best one of all!)
The Genuine Pulse

The best one of each album, in my opinion!

[Mattsquatch]

Oceans Rise is one of my favourites. Also Soul Sphere and The View of Everlast.

For me, it's "Universal" and "The Black Canvas". I think they are the perfect combination of unique music and thought provoking lyrics.

All of their work is amazing, but as a whole, I think I am most fond of "The Archaic Course". I'm not sure why that is... there's just... I don't know... a mood there... a feeling and atmosphere throughout the whole album that is like a magnet to my mind. Then again... the stability of my mind is somewhat questionable in itself, so I'm not sure I would trust the validity of my statements

~Robert

Haha, that's brilliant

I agree with you when it comes to the mighty, epic feeling found on "The Archaic Course". A beautiful atmosphere runs throughout the whole album. And you've got to be mad not to dig "Oceans Rise" and "Universal"

 

[Halcyon Dusk]

Any song that Asgeir wrote the lyrics to. It just seems strange that the band saves their greatest music for songs with his lyrics... Colossus, Genesis Torn, Inherit The Earth, etc., but maybe it does make sense to put the best with the best.

 

[ADS]

Actually, it's not as strange as you might think. Depending on which came first (the music or the lyrics), one can often inspire the best in the other. If the lyrics came first, then trying to imagine musical arrangements that will match can often lead to music that's as amazing as the lyrics... as is the opposite true.

I know if it were me, and I was trying to figure out what kind of music would go with "I have seen the chaos in every course... Followed the solar dimensions of time..." ...I'll bet the music would just naturally come out awesome
