Review by Shezma for Ulver - Nattens madrigal: Aatte hymne til ulven i manden (1997)

Oh Ulver, how I have gone in and out of their music for a while. I have listened to Bergtatt before in the past, but it's been a while so I can't say my feelings today but I do remember enjoying it. I absolutely adored the "Assassination of Julius Cesar", and Perdition City but they have so many other albums and no two are alike. This is their other black metal album after Bergtatt, and it's really interesting to go back and listen to this now after hearing their evolution in styles. Surprisingly,  I see people still praising Ulver after their tonal change but still revere these albums. I'm even surprised at myself that I have not listened to this one before in my music  ventures. This is a classic absolutely, however there are so many times, VII stands out in my mind, where it becomes very repetitive and not enjoyable in the least to suffer through. However, we have useful skip buttons to those moments in this album where otherwise I'm actually enjoying myself. I was close to giving 4 stars, because for the most part I really did enjoy but those repetitive moments do stick out when listening and it's been a minute of the same note played over and over.
