YMMV / Ulver

Go To

  • Awesome Music: 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.
    • 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.
    • The Assassination of Julius Caesar has been garnering quite a lot of praise even by Ulver's standards.
  • Broken Base: 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.
  • Epic Riff: Most of the riffs on Nattens madrigal and Bergtatt will be immediately recognisable to any black metal fan.
  • Heartwarming Moments: Doubles with Bilingual Bonus. 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.
  • Tear Jerker: They have a few examples. "Not Saved" in particular is almost unbearably melancholy at points.
