yeah I don't find it homogeneous either, but maybe that's cuz I connected a lot with the themes she touched. and perhaps yeah, she has a niche vocal style and stuff, but I don't think that's what makes her music endearing
and I definitely disagree that she needs to grow as an artist. she did what she gotta do to express herself in vulnicura, and did so splendidly

Biophilia certainly has more diversity than Vulnicura, but Vulnicura is pretty unique in its own right compared to her discography. Sure her voice never changes but the music does.
PS, Moon is on another level.

well i never said it was the only thing that makes her music endearing so thats completely irrelevant but it is undeniable that her vocal style is a significant contribution to what made her stand out as so eclectic.

art is not just a showcase of your (evolving) personal styling, it has to have an idea behind, and the piece itself plays to that idea/artistic revelation

I don't think Vulnicura is as good as Post or Homogenic but I never expected it to be. I can't argue with you saying that her vocal style contributes to her eclectic music because it definitely does, and 20 years later no one sounds like her.

i mean you can rationalize it all you want and try to convince me that im retarded and i am missing an entire component of music but u know goddamn well that im very aware of that shit and saying it isnt going to change the fact that i think it sucks asshole

sorry that was in response to this:
art is not just a showcase of your (evolving) personal styling, it has to have an idea behind, and the piece itself plays to that idea/artistic revelation
which is essentially just gobbledy-gook

i could literally just switch that sentence around for equal effect and we'd be exactly where we started. just because it has a good successful idea doesnt bypass the fact that its a lifeless piece of shit

oh nono, not trying to change your mind or imply that you're objectively wrong, just discussing music for once here haha
I do believe that she could do more with her style and work on it, and I do believe that she could bring more diversity to the themes she touches on her albums, but I appreciate vulnicura for what it is: a personal expression of what she was going through during her divorce. It's a personal experience, and it has touched me so I love it, that's all I guess

This is a music site where we talk and review music, I love a good argument.
It's definitely not an accessible album and I have to be in a very specific mood to listen to it but when I am in the mood it just hits the spot.

It hits the spot like nothing else I can think of.

k thats fair im just saying the implication that if i dislike the album i must be blind to this entire other facet of music and am just focusing on some superficial part of it is not true at all maybe u didnt mean that tho
because i understand how personal it is and i encourage artists expressing their struggles with adversity because it often results in their most powerful music so thats all good and all but i just didnt find it successful beyond that powerful idea
|

It's definitely not an accessible album
the music itself i found to be more accessible than a lot of hers. pretty much twinkly ass sigur ros shit.
and I have to be in a very specific mood to listen to it but when I am in the mood it just hits the spot.
to be fair the entire vibe and tone of the album is one that has never quite moved me anyway so i was already set to not enjoy it very much before i started even talking about her decline as a musician
but ur right who knows what she is going to do next and if she proves me wrong thats dope

I guess, to sum it up: art is the physical manifestation of that artistic revelation that the artist wants to manifest; as such, they have to choose the way to transfigurate that idea into paper, and the way bjork did simply came across as boring and lifeless to potsy, while it hits the spot on us.
such is life :[

I was thinking of sigur ros and other post-rock (boring) stuff while listening to it too! I swear to god I couldn't not tell you what makes it different for the life of mine bit I swear it's different to me!

haha
and hey dude sorry i misinterpreted that one comment im used to users backing that album waxing-poetic and trying to manifest reasons as to why i "just dont get it" which is some bullshit so i thought that was what u were doing for a sec

Vulnicura is more tragic than anything else, and the music and vocals just match that tone perfectly to me. Each song has a very specific place on the album and I wouldn't change a single thing.
Stonemilker is the struggle to connect, History Of Touches is the calm before the storm, Black Lake is the immediate aftermath, Family is the anger, so on and so forth
