what's the meaning of anything, really?

Why did no one talk Bjork out of making Declare Independence



Hearing it for the 2nd time and it's deff her worst song I've heard

Album Rating: 3.0

because it was too catchy + too many yes men simping + terrible judgement

yeah it sure would be easy to talk bjork out of making an anti-colonialist song

Album Rating: 2.5

It's not really the subject of the song that's the problem, but the actual execution/way she presents it is just awful



Like it sounds like I'm listening to an amateur one-off garage project come up with lyrics from the top of her head, but it's Bjork on her 6th album (13th if you count her pre-Debut stuff and the 2 soundtracks she did)



This entire album sounds fairly amateur for her actually



tbh it'd be a 2 if it wasn't for "Innocence"

i think given the subject, it would be the song where she would not budge, but yea

i like it but i get why people might not

Album Rating: 2.5

Okay now that I've given this 6 listens, here's a rank:



1.Innocence - An aggressive fun beat, great lyrics, and a shining light on this album. It's basic and not wrapped up in trying to be unique, but for an album like this, that's a standout. - 5/5



2.Earth Intruders - Honestly mostly great. Fun beat, interesting lyrics, but WHY with the foghorns for a third of the song? Has an interesting political message. - 4/5



3.My Juvenile - I think for my first few listens, I was so damn tired of the crappy songs, that I couldn't even focus on this one. Anohni comes back to piss on it a little, but he's only really here for backups, so it doesn't destroy the song. - 4/5



4.Vertebræ by Vertebræ - Bjork decides that this brass sample is so good, it should just repeat over and over, but the sample isn't that good. It's a shame because her vocal performance here is actually great. These vocals deserved more. - 3/5



5.Wanderlust - Pretty boring in most regards, but I guess the concept is cool. Another addition to the Isobel saga apparently, and certainly my least favorite. - 2.5/5



6.Hope - Bjork uses African instruments to sing a song about a suicide bomber. WHY? I mean it's original... and it's not boring, but WHY? Don't even tell me this song isn't random in a bad way. And the foghorns are back, but only briefly. - 2.5/5



7.I See Who You Are - Bjork's attempt at Chinese folk mixed with some electronic sounds. Really forgettable and potentially a forced attempt as her "world music" theme. - 2.5/5



8.Pneumonia - Did Bjork write this one just to test the listener's patience? Slow french horns and random lyrics she wrote while she had pneumonia. - 2/5



9.The Dull Flame of Desire - Just found out that this is a translated Russian poem. Doesn't make it any better. Jumps between being bland and annoying. I don't like Anohni's voice at all. - 2/5



10.Declare Independence - Cool concept for a song, but that execution is just annoying. The lyrics are lazy and cutesy, and seem improvised. I kinda like the music at times though? Whatever, "Pluto" exists and is actually good, so I don't need this garbage. - 2/5

I feel like I've spent too much time with an album I don't like just because I like the artist's previous 5 albums... time to move onto a new one

Album Rating: 3.0

I appreciate a good ol' track-by-track review. Dull Flame is the worst song ever made agreed

Good album and the first three tracks are particularly great but after them, the album gets really 50/50.
