Yeah, jamming over now, and it feels like they are basking in the softer side of Assassination.

Kinda enjoyed the opener, think "Little Boy" is my least fave for sure. Got a few notes down, will try and get the rev up quicksharp!

Two People, Motorpsycho and Ulver. Week of the year for me. It's gonna be an intense weekend.





Nice, I forgot Two People, but now I'm stoked.

This second listen isn't changing much about my negative feelings towards the new one. I even think Garm is a little monotonous on it, whereas I love everything he has ever done vocally! W e i r d.

Listening to the new one was a blast. Love this sort of moody synth pop.

I only had time for half of the album. I feel like it was pleasant, but I don't remember a goddamn thing about it

Jamming the new album now.



Opener was pretty boring, love Russian Doll.

I think this LP is so energetic and lively that a follow up that seems to hone in on the softer side of the sound, as dewinged mentioned, was destined to feel a little flat (at least at first) when it is so obviously a continuation of the Assassination sound. This is too negative of a descriptor, but it’s almost like a diet version of the sound. I still like it quite a bit though

Apocalypse 1993 and Thousand Cuts are also really good, don't remember much about the rest.

I expected a little more, but Flowers of Evil is very solid. Would be great if they changed up their sound next time cause I think they've pretty fully explored this style now.

I feel like Sic Gloria Mundi was better in terms of songwriting, but I still need more listens to decide if FoE is B-Sides from Assassination or an entity on its own.

Flowers in Evil is different in that the rhythm is basically the same the whole time and there're more guitars. A Thousand Cuts is one of their best songs in a while.

Almost done the new album and it's ok, maybe it will grow on me. I 5'd this, so it had big shoes to fill. The new one sounds a bit more on the funky side, especially with songs like Nostalgia.

New album is decent but probably their worst since Wars. Although it may well be a grower *shrugs*

Wars is one of their best smh. I'd say Flowers of Evil, Messe, Drone Activity, Riverhead, and Terrestrials are my least favorite of their full-length albums, and all of those are still quite good. One of the best bands ever.

Whaaaaaaaat? Messe is one of their best... Wars is probably my third least favourite Ulver just above DA and miles ahead of William Blake. Some of it is just zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Exactly what I feared and how I feel.
