I really like this album though I prefer Ulver in a progressive rock posture "à la" Blood Inside.

What I've heard of this hasn't clicked with me at all. Maybe I should pick it up.

It's relaxing, nice to fall asleep too. I don't really listen to it that much though. I'm with Stefan in liking Ulver at their more colourful.

That's basically all it does for me. I just wasn't able to get into this album when I downloaded it.

This is purity and beauty.

This one is a bit gay. I liked blood inside better.

I thought it was quite beautiful. It's a bit depressing, but if you put yourself into an imminent doom mindset it really is moving. I agree that it's not as good as Blood Inside, but I can tell they were going for a completely different vibe. It's certainly not as pretensious, which is when Ulver is at their best.

I didn't stomach Blood Inside too well, I'm enjoying this one a lot more. It's actually becoming one of my favourites this year. It's peaceful and serene, I guess it's what I need these days.

This is in my list of top 10 albums of all times. It's something some people will like and others won't care for. That's fine...I love it.

If you don't like Perdition City then you're better off collecting stamps.
