So far I have listened to it two times (once the leak and once the cd, the sound quality of the leak sucks in comparison with the cd) and am positively surprised, seems like a strong comeback.
I personally can't understand where the accusations of Belus being just a rehash of his old music that adds nothing meaningful come from, to me Belus sounds distinct from all his earlier work (Ok, I haven't listened to Hlidskjalf from start to finish but I doubt that people mean he's recycling that).
There's something very positive about this album, that most metal unfortunately lacks (by positive I mean positive in the darkest-hour-is-before-the-dawn sense, not gay-hobbit-party-everyone's-invited sense), can't understand why people compare it with depressive crap.
Can't tell how Belus will hold up to repeated listens in comparison with old Burzum albums but my initial impression is very positive, especially given that I expected it to be crap, based on the impression I got from the samples.
Also, Daudi Baldrs is a good album imo.

I guess it was okay, I wouldn't buy it though. I read on his interviews on burzum.org he does not really consider it to be black metal. It still sounds black metal to me! It is still better than his earlier stuff though.

In fact, the intro of the second track Belus Doed is the same intro as Dauði Baldrs first track (wich is Dauði Baldrs also)

Yes I know that Belus Doed is reworked Daudi Baldrs, I meant that Belus as a whole does not sound too similar to any of his earlier albums (as a whole) and has its own spirit. At least that's my impression from the two listens I've had, haven't had time to listen to it more.

Just to give a Heads up (I'm sure alot of you guys already know) Belus was released on a limited edition "White" vinyl of suposably 2000 copies,the rest are regular "Black" vinyl.
There are MANY sellers on "Auction" sites that are selling the album sealed claiming that it is the "White" version,however it is imposiable to tell wether the album is White or Black vinyl without opening it.
ALL OF THE ALBUMS,WHITE OR BLACK VINYL,HAVE "LIMITED EDITION COLOURED VINYL" WRITTEN ON THE BACK OF THE ALBUM.

Had he released this album before the huge explosion of black metal, I probably would've rated it higher than an 8. Granted, he was an originator in this style and hasn't tried to copy others. However, there's so much good black metal out there these days that it just doesn't seem as good as it could have been. Also, not that Varg cares what people think of his music, but the audience that had been looking forward to this album also had unrealistic expectations.

I hate Varg. A whole fucking lot. But the man writes some of the most chillingly beautiful black metal I have ever heard. Belus is no exception.
