Ulver are one of the best bands in the world. Too avantgarde.

All the changes they have made over the years have been initially hard to swallow, but ultimately really rewarding and I feel the same way about War of the Roses.

This is beautiful/uncompromising in equal measure. And it’s NOT a companion piece to Shadows Of The Sun. You should review albums on their own merits, John. Just a suggestion.

Sorry dude, but it seems to me you tried too hard to put it down with a bunch of elaborate and pretentious blabber. WotR is a damn good album, very easy to enjoy.

WHAT?!? Wouldn’t it make more sense to say that some sort of misguided effort is a “symptom of failure”?

“I am not making an argument that they had consistently achieved some unquestionable god-like perfection”??? Shit, that’s a lot of words about what you’re NOT saying…

And whose ambivalence and indifference: theirs or yours?

Sorry, brother, but the questions raised by your lukewarm review make me MORE curious about the album; I’m eager now to hear it so I can sort out something clearer than this review!

Ulver are often elusive – but not in a bad way. WotR, on the other hand, has revealed not much more to me than well-produced indulgence. I don’t know what they were thinking with “Stone Angels”. Extremely frustrating and disappointing.
