Don't go in expecting something similar to their contemporary style.

I've checked it out recently, and yeah, it is quite a bit of a different sound as Axioma Ethica Odini or Ruun but it seems to sound kick ass still to me

I didn't actually expect much from enslaved's debut album, but it is in fact a great slice of atmospheric black metal, the word 'atmospheric' being expressed here. The album channels such a wondrous atmosphere through the various symphonic passages, and although it isn't quite as raw as you would expect a black metal album to be, it still holds the key ingredient to any extreme metal album:consistency. Each song has its own significance, and with the opening song we can see that the band tried hard to distance themselves from any other musical genre at that time. This is a great place to start if you're interested in listening to enslaved in the 90's.

This and rost, for virtually all the same reasons.

Yeah, agree with that. 'Frost' is such a "chilling" record, but it works quite well.

Wow, these are long ass songs. Repetitive, albeit interesting

The blueprint for everything that came after. Super-innovative for the early black metal scene in Norway.

Ah,this was a long time ago,when these guys were black metal.

What's so innovative about this?

Everyone has to start from somewhere.

Amazing , just some kind instrumental BM, whit atmosphere, no st. ann into lyrics, few vocal passage, instrumental composition are long, you need wait long before vocals appear , and interesting drumming and instruments arraignments

Interesting that they became a little bit more aggressive on Frost after this album, for whatever reason I expected the opposite trend, although I guess it's not a huge difference. I probably prefer this one slightly; it's very listenable, and likeable enough, although the keyboard parts are pretty cheesy I find
