Yo, I'm just getting into Bjork and holy hell, is this album

babby's first bjork album

>>70604114
Yes, I literally said this and homogenic were the first ones I've heard.

don't listen to this guy op, Vespertine is incredibly good. Great production with some pretty interesting feminine themes

Biophilia her most underrated

>>70604068
Good for you, man. Bjork is incredible. Some releases may be a little off-putting, but investing time in them really pays off. Vulnicura is an interesting listen, it's kind of the anti-vespertine. The relationship she sings about in vespertine falls apart in vulnicura and is just as good as vespertine in my opinion.

>>70604201
I would definitely agree. That album is underrated. Certainly not her best, but it does not deserve most of the criticism it gets. It is a huge turning point in bjorks career as a song-writer, was incredibly experimental in its approach, and instruments used, and you see bjork experimenting pretty heavily with drone music on it. It's great.

>>70604202
Sounds cool, I listened to Debut and Post and thought they were okay but they didn't really grab my like Vespertine and Homogenic.

Should I just keep going chronologically from here? Are there any actual "bad" Bjork albums or are they all varying degrees of good to great?

>>70604250
>Should I just keep going chronologically from here
Yes. It's best to go through her works that way.

Medulla is a stranger album. A lot of acapella, but there are some GREAT highlights.

Volta is a lot more pop-y and has a lot of tribal style music. It also has 2 duets with Antony Hegarty which are absolutely fantastic.

Biophilia is a lot more electronic and drum based than her previous albums but still a very great album. Lots of science themes.

And Vulnicura is a lot like Homogenic, drum machines and BEAUTIFUL string sections. A very good album.

The only weak one of these is Medulla and even that has some amazing stuff.

>>70604250
I would (and Bjork herself) has categorized Volta as just "okay." I definitely think it is the worst of hers. I'm really not a fan of the songs with Anohni on them, but the other songs on the album still all work together quite nicely and still flow, so I typically listen to it that way.

Post is really good. I would spend some more time with it. If you're familiar with electronic music there is a lot to enjoy there. Post, homogenic, and vespertine were all quite innovative for their time. Medulla is really good too, but it is by far her most obscure and experimental nearly entirely done acapella. Biophilia is described nicely here >>70604230
Given what you have liked so far, I would recommend vulnicura.

>>70604333
Even the albums that aren't the best have some amazing tracks. I would call "Declare Independence" one of Bjork's most powerful songs and heaviest. And "Who Is It" from medulla is easily one of my favorite songs she's ever done.

>>70604343
I definitely liked Post more than Debut on the listen that I did of each. Possibly Maybe stood out as a solid track.

>TFW I realize I'm the only one who hates that song.

>>70604418
I am probably the only person (as mentioned >>70604343 here) who absolutely can't stand the duets with anohni, so it's no big deal

>>70604068
Wait til you hear Medulla. It's her most adventurous work and in my opinion it's her best.

t. I've been listening to trip-hop for 10+ years and I can't hardly stand Bjork except maybe a couple of songs (Pagan Poetry is one) ...a little too abstract for me I guess.

>>70604114
You retarded? Post is baby's first Bjork album

If you liked Vespertine and Homogenic, you will probably also like Vulnicura. They are my favourite trifecta.

I don't like Volta a great deal. Medulla, whislt interesting listening, is not as good as the others.

Biophilia, Debut and Post are good too.

>70604418
I also dislike it.

>70604447
And I also dislike the duets.

>>70604555
Probably because none of her stuff besides Homogenic is really trip hop.

She's amazing, one of my absolute favourite artists, check out the Vespertine b-sides as well.

Can't wait for her new album which is all but confirmed to be out this year.

>>70604561
irl sure, here? the vast majority of /mu/ is unable to form an opinion without the validation of critics and fellow anons

so no it really isn't

lol mad me chuckle

Vespertine is pretty far from my favorite. The production is gorgeous but it's so glacially paced. I don't have an issue with any one song but trying to listen to the album from start to finish nearly puts me to sleep. That said, if you really like it and Homogenic (which I personally like far more) then Vulnicura acts as a sort of closing act to those albums. It creates a sort of narrative arc documenting a woman on the prowl, her finding love, and the bitter dissolution of that love. Makes for a nice trilogy of sorts but be forewarned - Vulnicura is a more difficult album than Homogenic or Vespertine, but it works with the themes. Bjork made one hell of a grandiose breakup album, that's for sure.

Play Dead is top shelf trip-hop, man.

>>70605697
Pleb irl is still pleb here anon, maybe even more so
