when she was touring this i saw her at Toronto Beach. Death Grips opened for her for that one date and it was fucking crazy, the crowd was really lame but i was super into it, such a blast. then bjork was amazing. there were like a dozen or so girls from iceland doing backup vocals. and there was a tesla coil on stage! awesome night. great album too.

i personally think the production is good, not a big part of making this album a good one but it's perfectly fine imo :0

This is probably my second favorite post Vespertine piece of hers.

Vulnicura stands alone, though

This is true, but like, it’s sadness in the name of re-discovering the ground you stand on. Ultimately walks away peacefully melancholy

Hell yeah, always hated the stereotype of Björk to the non Björk world of just kind of quirkily goofy, she’s such an emotional heavyweight with one of the most unique perspectives on the small details of surviving life on a day-to-day basis.



Björk stands alone (sometimes on the edge of a cliff, throwing little things off)

she's great at painting images with her lyrics, and those little details give more depth into her musical narratives m/



she also allows herself to feel unapologetically, and it shows on albums like this where there's a theme based purely on her own curiosity, regardless of how others might perceive it

Excellent point too, her projects are always interesting even if they don’t come off flawless. Probably an argument to be made that’s why her newer stuff’s less well received. Got nothing left to prove, so might as well test the membrane of her own sensibility

Mmm, this one is doing nothing for me too. Lovely vocals on top of super sparse and formless instrumentation just doesn't grab me. And while Bjork's voice is always great, there's just no melody. It isn't bad and I'd happily give it another few goes down the road, but ehh.

it's hard to focus on it first time, yea



maybe you can jam individual songs until u get accustomed to them :0 the singles of course are the easiest to jam, i particularly like 'virus', 'cosmogony' and 'sacrifice' too !

You starting to see the big Bjork problem that has plagued her career since after Vespertine. She's been on a melody swamp for years. Replays will make some songs shine, but the sad truth is that her real great album was Vespertine and she has never been able to surpass it.

hard to expect a musician to continuously top all of her previous albums for such a long career lol

Well at least I expected her to maintain it, as she did with her first 4 albums!

I do think she made a leap back into the realm of greatness with Vulnicura (which, perhaps not coincidentally, is the yang to Vespertine's yin), but compared to both Biophilia and Utopia, it was a little more conventional, too.
