Liminal Animals is the first Ulver album I did not care about
Rant: I'm 30 years old and have listened to Ulver since I was a teenager. I would consider them in my top 3 bands of all time. Perdition City is my favorite album of all time. There isn't a Ulver album I did not like until Liminal Animals. I wouldn't say it's bad but it's just so meh. So boring, uninspired. Not what I want to hear from Ulver. They always inspired me in the past with their genre changes, they would jump from one style to another and somehow always nail it. But now they need to change. This synthpop style is so fucking stale at this point and I loved their previous synthpop albums. Not to mention synthpop is incredibly popular right now, I would like to hear them make something far less commercial again. The only track I liked was Nocturne #1.
It sucks, I used to be able to say that I don't think Ulver has any weak albums but I can't say it anymore. Their discography is still overall incredibly solid but if they keep making synthpop after this I don't know. They need a big change. Your thoughts?
