Album Rating: 4.0

‘I do believe that timing plays a huge part on rating her early albums though Octa, I don't know how I would feel about hearing Debut or Post for the first time nowadays.‘

Timing plays a role in essentially anything consumable, not just music. Then nostalgia or even plain familiarity/comfortability kicks in keeping the embers burning strong. Some things are lost along the way, particularly when your tastes drastically change over many many years post-childhood, but a lot remain, especially when your general tendencies are more established.

Album Rating: 3.5

Most overrated Bjork.

Possibly Maybe, Hyperballad and Isobel slap hard.

Army of Me and Enjoy are god awful examples of a 90s, eurocentric house sound that just has aged terribly and the biggest atrocity on this album, It's Oh So Quiet. Yeah, let's just not talk about that one. Yuck. The rest of the album is ok I guess

Album Rating: 4.0

the screaming ruins It's Oh So Quiet. it's too fucking loud and hurts my ears

Album Rating: 4.0

I have a deep disdain for songs that randomly become way louder than the rest of the song and assault your ears. Like that one, and that one Hop Along song. should be illegal

Album Rating: 3.5

"army of me" always turned me off from listening to this album in full but "hyperballad," "isobel," and indeed "it's oh so quiet" are great songs

Album Rating: 3.5

Big Band Broadway Bjork just doesn't work at all for me. No to that.

Agree that “Army of Me” is arguably the weakest track here.

"deep disdain for songs that randomly become way louder than the rest of the song"
dr tec, kindly knock up a notch on the tally for loudness war zoomer casualties

"Timing plays a role in essentially anything consumable, not just music. "

You got a point there Demon.

How far are we going back here though? I first heard Bjork's early albums around 2012, and I thought they still sounded really fresh for how old they were

admittedly the consistency of track volume is a strange metric upon which to wage war yea

"How far are we going back here though?" Yeah it's hard to say, I was just referring to my own story with those albums and how they were tied to some specific events which I hold dear, so maybe not really about the year you heard them but the role they played at some point in your life maybe?

I don't know this is getting confusing lol

"it's oh so quiet" rules tbh

Album Rating: 4.0

the screaming assaults my eardrums and the title is a lie but Diamond Mine is a worse offender so I don't come down too hard on old Bjork for it

(just listening to the song rn, and maybe i'm just going deaf but i find no issue with the volume D:



it's definitely a smaller jump in volume than what i experience at the transition between some songs when getting all my music in a single playlist and shuffling, some albums for whatever reason are so much louder than everything else in my library ;-;)

lmao relatable content
gonna suggest we move on from this topic before colton drops his pants and inaccurately references another wikipedia definition for dynamics, and INSTEAD talk about how possibly maybe is probably the perfect will-this-last-who-knows spooning track!??
