    Fantastic nostalgic synth pop/rock album with Kris vocals always the best!
    Great stories told and as always gloomy dark atmosphere something in which Wolves are masters.

    A solid continuation of the sound from The Assasination of Julius Caesar. Honestly I loved the sound of their last album so much I was hoping they would continue it with this new album and I was not disappointed. There’s no one else out there that sounds like this at the moment. Truly a unique and exceptional album

    Flowers of Evil should represent an erasure of the false dichotomy of high art and base pleasures, but it feels like a middle ground strewn with the negative qualities of both, and will likely leave its audience in that chocolate-on-face state of feeling oversatiated and a little cheap.

    Ulver doesn't do anything to push the synthpop sound they pursue out of its comfort zone and this keeps the album from greatness, but Flowers of Evil stands out as the band's most accessible album to date.

    The concept of nature destroying man-made civilization to a soundtrack of dark, danceable symphonics is chilling. [Sep 2020, p.85]
