//I just recently got into Ulver and really like their sound. I got Bergtatt from a friend, popped it in and sat back listening to this masterpiece. I love every second of it. I also got their newest one and Kveldssanger. Both of those are pretty good to but nothing like Bergtatt. Didnt see a forum with best Ulver album so i thought i should start one off. I'm sure ill get many differences of opinion between their more melodic side and their blackish metal side but oh well. Have at it!//

Hmmmm realy interesting poll, but I like only ''Bergtatt - Et Eeventyr i 5 Capitler'', ''Kveldssanger'' and ''Nattens Madrigal - Aatte Hymne til Ulven i Manden''

Those BM days are awsoem, and accustic album too, accustic and BM it is awsoem, realy Ulver wa sgood band whyle play BM, but now, ehh I dont get anything what that wanna say to me, whit taht music

I'll stick to there electronic music classic - Perdition City

i like all phases of Ulver's development, however seeing as "Bergtatt" is my favorite metal album, period, it makes this poll a foregone conclusion.

i just love the way the album begins and builds up in intensity, corresponding with the story being told.

"Perdition City" would be second.

I've heard most of their albums (haven't checked out Perdition City yet) and Bergtatt is easily my favorite. I love clean vocals and pianos in black metal.

"Bergtatt - Et Eeventyr I 5 Capitler" is the absolutely masterpiece made by Ulver.

Greetings havoheJ

It was really hard choice but I chose Shadows Of The Sun over Bergtatt . The reason I chose it is because it's really one of their most underated cd's and it's atmosphere of the songs is just beautiful and depressing. A few example of songs is Eos and Shadows Of The sun.

//Yeah one of the reasons i started this topic was to see how many people voted for an album other than Bergatt. I guess the ratio isnt too bad i guess//

Bergtatt definitely, but Nattens Madrigal would easily be a second. This different Ulver isn't too appealing. I can't listen to it for more than ten minutes.

Perdition City, i'm more into their newer stuff, though the first albums are really great too. Also i actually quite like their Lyckantropen Themes album (though it seems that not many people like this one ), if you've seen that short movie, the music accompanies the movie really well.

Perdition city.

The folkish stuff and black metal stuff never did anything for me.

How can u add Bergtatt and Nattens Madrigal with the others albums? does not fit at all...
you should make 2 different topic's

I've recently discovered Ulver and really like Bergtatt (along with most people here), would really like a CD copy of it but having trouble finding it. Either it is hard to find or my searching skills are rubbish, anyone know where I can pick up one?

I am absolutely convinced that the Electronic albums made by Ulver are better than the Black/Folk metal ones. My pick is Perdition City, slightly better than Blood Inside and Themes....

Well, it's up to taste I guess. I don't listen to metal only, and Ulver's electronic albums are real masterpieces in their genres. Also Bergtatt is not even among my favorite black metal albums (even if it was influential or such). About incomes, I think they changed this much because of their real musical interest.

Me to I listen not metal only but Ulver cases its I dunno, but electronica isnt my cup of tea no metter what, buut other hand better ULve rplay crap now how changed like CoF, firts realises still liveson

Perdition City is my favourite. I like the first three albums equally, even though bass-less Nattens Madrigal really hurts my delicate eardrums, but switching to electronic music was a really smart move I think. I have had a harder time getting into the latest albums but I find them somehow deeper and more rewarding than their black / folk period.

they are all Ulver releases, therefore it does fit. the styles changed, but it's still the same musical project.

Voted for Perdition City. It was the one who better mixed the dark, melancholic atmosphere with catchy beats in the songs.

Best of to me.

It was difficult choosing for the best Ulver album. They have so many great records like Blood Inside, Perdition City, The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell, Bergtatt. I voted for Perdition City. It has a magic element in it that makes me keep listening to it over and over again!

Bergtatt. One of the best black metal albums ever created. Proves that this genre can be harsh yet very beautiful and enchanting.

Bergtatt is easily my favorite, followed by Kveldssanger. Shadows Of The Sun is good too.

While this is a super hard choice, I had to go with "Perdition City" being their best album even though I probably like Bergtatt better. It's just hard to find an album is creative and enchanting as Perdition City. A true masterpiece.

It's difficult to choose, considering how different their sound can be (early black metal and later avant-garde/electronic). For the black metal era, I would go with Bergtatt, for the avant-garde era, Blood Inside.

Nattens! One of the most epic, lo-fi albums that I have ever listened too. In my opinion, it is a must listen to anyone who wants to know what lo-fi black metal is all about. The vocals on that album are just bliss to me.

I do really enjoy Kveldssanger as well though, it's a close second for sure....but in my book Nattens will always reign supreme in the Ulver catalog!

Oh, and as far as their electronic shit goes, I feel like they should of changed the band's name after they released "Blake's Album." They even put out a public statement after releasing it that they do not consider themselves a black metal group and do not want to be associated with or as one...which is really too bad because they did black metal SO WELL!!!!

Shadows of the Sun for me. What an amazing album.

I have listening 1th 3 albums this week, best is no doubt 5 Chapters, I realy enjoy it good epic BM, whit lil sypho touch , realy great, lil agollachisy style but ok maybe stupid compare but still, this is awesome albums , best and they never will create such epic and awesome album

Accustic is good but , but I wonder who boght it metalheads, folk fans and who compse all musicand did they wrote all songs or use realy old folk songs,

Hymn to wolf is good but more ''raw'' its BM classic but I would put in 3th place that one

Blood Inside always struck me as one of their most varied albums, and it's awesome all the way through.

Love them all dearly but Perdition City is the crown jewel for me.

...I get shivers just thinking about it.
