Okay, I gave a listen to the Burzum album this morning. I have to confess I was fully expecting to hate it, but aside from the 25 minute snoozefest 5th track, I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed how raw, noisy, and almost punkish it was, something I found fairly different from other black metal I've listened to. The Emperor album I've always found to be just okay, serviceable loud music but nothing to write home about. So much to my surprise I'm voting Burzum this round.
Burzum - 6
Emperor - 4
