Album Rating: 5.0

Ok, Ancestress through Her Mother's House is one of the greatest stretches of songs in her entire discography. For as much as I love that first run of tracks individually, they make for a slightly uneven start to the album's flow.



I think it has breached my top three, overall. Vespertine > Homogenic > Fossora.

Album Rating: 2.5

I don't like Thunderbolt quite as much as you, but it would be in my top 5 on that album, definitely a pretty great song tho. Prob fourth best come to think of it, after Moon, Mutual Core, and Crystal Light

Album Rating: 2.5

Rly, Lucman? It all sounds the damn same for that stretch. Her Mother's House is one of the more memorable tracks though, still think Trolla Gabba is the highlight tho

Victimhood is a highlight for me. Also Atopos, Mycelia, Fossora, Fungal City, Freefall and Allow (showing Utopia how to use flutes in a less annoying way).

Album Rating: 5.0

@Gyro Every song is so distinctive to me, each with a standout melody or refrain. "Fungal City," for example, with the "His capacity for love is enormous" line, which might be one of my favourite melodic "hooks" she has ever written. "Victimhood" is another that has this unique, shadowy atmosphere that I hear nowhere else on the record. "Freefall" has that fantastic switch up in its back end and "Fossora" erupts with incredible aggression.



It all sounds like the work of a master craftswoman to me. Everything is so purposeful and layered yet amazingly precise.

Album Rating: 4.0

it is indeed a great album

It's in my Top 5 I think...

1 Vespertine 2 Homogenic 3 Debut 4 Fossora 5 Vulnicura 6 Biophilia 7 Post 8 Utopia 9 Medulla 10 Volta

Album Rating: 2.5

Post at 7 is a fail but your top 3 are all fantastic

Not sure why I never connected with Post. I adore Hyperballad, but most of the rest are just mid-tier Björk for me. I feel like Post was a transitional album more than anything. But did she ever deliver on the next two...

Album Rating: 4.0

i think it might be on par with utopia for me (though thankfully a teensy bit more digestible in length)



agreed on biophilia, some serious highlights and a few career duds

Kinda surprised you have Volta so high tbh



But yeah, Vespertine is definitely Bjork's crown jewel

Album Rating: 3.0

Definitely think it's her most unfairly maligned album; the opening three tracks are all awesome (esp. Earth Intruders, which is probably one of her career highlights imo). The rest of the tracks don't sustain the same level of majesty but I don't think there's a single "bad" song on the album tbh.

Earth Intruders is so good. And really quite unique in her discography.

Album Rating: 3.0

categorizing the new one under "actively annoying" where it can live in eternal merriment with its friend Medulla

Album Rating: 3.5

Fossora starts out so rough but the second half is legit some of her best stuff?? like wtf it’s such a fake out

Album Rating: 3.0

s/t?

Album Rating: 2.5

why did my harmless ranking get deleted?

Was just listening to Dead Can Dance's Into the Labyrinth (1993) and just found the same exotic bird samples that appear on this album.

Album Rating: 4.5

Fossora was so meh that it's retroactively validated my weird affection for this album
