...except that Kveldssanger is totally acoustic folk stuff. Big smile

I'll go with Bergtatt,  now there's a magical album... Nothing wrong with the other albums either.

I see that Kveldssanger is still tagged as black metal here at MMA and it would feel terrible to change it to non-metal so that we would lose a review & a few ratings. I wouldn't mind if the rating blocking of non-metal releases was removed... :-)

Kveldssanger, I can't get into Nattens, and Bergtatt is good... but Kveldssanger is unique.

Time to revive this one, and make it a tie. 
I have yet to get into all that Ulver has done after their "black metal trilogy", but they have an incredibly solid start of their career. 

Bergtatt I think is fantastic. I really love the combination of folk and black metal here and it prevents the album from getting repetitive at all. And the chanted vocals are brilliant as well. It's a 4,5 star album imo.

Kveldssanger I think is easily the least of these three, though it's still a good album. Acoustic or soft albums by metal bands always are interesting, but I think it lacks the dynamics that an album like Bergtatt has even though that one has a nice amount of folk on it as well. 

And then Nattens Madrigal. I really see why people would dislike this, but man, this is a masterpiece. It's probably the most fierce and raw thing that I've ever heard, yet it also has a beautiful feeling to it at times. Even though it does only have one brief acoustic part, I don't have a hard time at all sitting through the whole disc at all. It gets my vote.

Magical indeed! Bergtatt for me also. I love the vocals and the folk/black metal combination on that album.

Nattens though...blech, the only Ulver album I don't really enjoy.
