It is a bit hmmm if her voice is 100% foregrounded in a song and it's not the takeaway though

Tempted to bump this, so consistent and such a risk songwriting wise that pays off massively.
Nothing quite like Bjork, what a performer.

Alright, won't lie, some of this made me lol. Interesting approach.
EDIT: Jammed twice. I actually love this. It's super unique but not too avant garde and unapproachable.

I didn't dislike it on first listen, but Ancestors and Triumph were 'different.' Read up about the throat singing used on the former and loved it a lot more on the second run. "Where Is The Line?" and "Desired Constellation" are especially brilliant.

This has some really neat moments but is v much the first chapter of optional Bjork

Why about Crying? Crying is a fantastic song

There's More to Life Than This? I love how novel it is. Recording a song live in a bar bathroom is honestly a pretty entertaining concept and the execution works in my opinion
Fun fact: a studio version, which is way more boring, is the b-side to the Venus As a Boy single, maybe you'll like it cuz "the production on it is better" and the quirky recording concept isn't there

First time listening to this after leaving it aside for so long. Mega weird even for Bjork's standards. Obviously some of her vocal performances slap but uh some very perplexing ideas here as well. Oceania is fucking insane.

I appreciate this a lot more than I did. It was a contender for bottom-tier Bjork at one point (in fact it most definitely was in the pre-Utopia / Fossora days). The progress has been at a snails pace over many years but I'm getting there lol
Ancestors is still rather grating and one of her absolute worst cuts. If I look past it there's much to enjoy. Desired Constellation, Oceania, Where is the Line? etc. Interesting album.

Yeah this album is awesome, and it looks even better after Utopia and Fossora. I still think Fossora is genuinely terrible. Utopia's okay but way too bloated.
