Context YMMV / Ulver

Go To

1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Despite being significantly more "accessible" than most of their material, many fans will cite "Nowhere/Catastrophe" to be among their favorite selections from their discography.
2** Most of their music, really. For a band that switches styles so often, Ulver are amazingly consistent. Nearly all their main discography and quite a few of their side releases are worth checking out.
3** ''The Assassination of Julius Caesar'' has been garnering quite a lot of praise even by Ulver's standards.
4* BrokenBase: While most of the fans have stuck with the band throughout their evolution, you will get disagreements on things like what their best album is. There are a few albums that have divided the fan base (''Wars of the Roses'' in particular), but not as many as you'd probably expect.
5* EpicRiff: Most of the riffs on ''Nattens madrigal'' and ''Bergtatt'' will be immediately recognisable to any black metal fan.
6* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Doubles with BilingualBonus. On the aforementioned remix track (called "Der Alte"), the German conversation is about an old man lamenting about how useless he is to his family, and a younger man assuring him how much he'd be missed when he finally does pass on.
7* TearJerker: They have a few examples. "Not Saved" in particular is almost unbearably melancholy at points.
