In asking this, I'm simply just curious.
What is the honest, most commonly held opinion on this Board regarding Burzum?
I'm specifically asking about the music, not Sup Forums's opinion on Varg himself.
Personally, I enjoy the music, specifically this album, although I do admit the quality is obviously abysmal.

this question gets asked everyday. use the fucking archive
good for atmosphere, and I'm not gonna lie I like the contrarian element to it as well. it's funny cause I also like the complete opposite of ambient, like brian eno and stuff. Just gotta have the two sides I guess. Burzum is for when I'm just fucking angry or when it's snowing really hard like now

Hmmmm
this is one of the few perfect albums in existence
Formerly Sup Forumscore, presently soycore
thanks for asking
Most of Sup Forums has listened to Filosofem and liked it. Most of Sup Forums thinks Varg is crazy. Half of Sup Forums hates Nazis, the other half hates people who hate Nazis. Can we please talk any other black metal artist for once.
True.
False.
It's hard to speak for an entire board, but Sup Forums like's Filosofem, sometimes discusses Hvis Lyset Tar Oss, and doesn't give two shit's about the rest. Which is sad, because the Debut, DSEGV and Fallen are all great albums.
>the quality is obviously abysmal
It's perfect quality. Wouldn't change a thing.
Fortunately the two prison albums get a good amount of appreciation in Dungeon Synth threads.
This
Google search "mu archive" lad.
What is fascinating about the first four Burzum albums for me is that a guy who was barely 20 years-old (by the recording of Filosofem at least) was not only able to communicate such a concentrated aesthetic vision through his work, but that he managed to make what would otherwise seem like very "corny" influences (Dungeons & Dragons, Lord of the Rings, paganism) feel very serious and even mystical. It's very idiosyncratic music and truly immerses you in the creator's headspace. I don't know if I'm explaining myself well, but I think that's what separated Burzum from the legions of pale imitations that came in its wake.

Jesus Tod has my favorite guitar riff ever. But otherwise, I don't have much else to say.
I thought Belus was a decent return as well. Kind of lost interest after that.
From Belus onwards Varg has looped each guitar riff and drum part in a DAW so he only has to play it once.
Varg was a musical genius and it's evident by his early albums, especially Hvis Lysett Tar Oss and Filosofem. If he had made any other genre of music it would have been considered just a good.
It's just a shame that he's a bit of a mental case that spends most of his time isolated from society in the French woodland spewing historically illiterate bullshit on youtube.
Did he loop drums on Filosofem or am I imagining that?
you're imagining that dude
kind of thought so
Belus doed/Glemselens Elv are definitely underrated I feel
Varg made Tomhet in like 10 minutes.
Filosofem is a good album
Although imo some of the songs are way too long and get kinda boring after a while
(Dunkelheit is a fucking GOAT song tho)
All the songs are the perfect length except for
Jesus' Tod. The "outro" is a bit too long.
Black Metal is soyboy core

Who was the first nigger to start talking over music? I will make it my life goal to go back in time to remove his cancerous idea from ever becoming real. youtube.com
Ways of Yore was actually a really underated folk atmo album imo, although I agree that talking over instruments is autistic.
