Expect to cry.
I don't even like that type of music, and I'll go years without crying. I tried listening to "I remember you" after I saw that video of the dude shooting himself while listening to it.
Half way through I started tearing up and had to turn it off. Fucking beautiful voice and beautiful harp playing. I just can't listen to it more than like once every six months.

This. I hated her at first but now she's my favorite musician. Just start chronologically, OP.

looks like the bjork internet defense force got here earlier than usual. nice work.
Post is the most 90s thing ever
here's a tip: don't be a silly albumbabby; go listen to the greatest hits album, it's a terrific primer, and you get a great overview of all the different styles she's tried out (up to that point)
thank me later

SERIOUSLY
I've never had a song fuck with me more. I watched all 21 hours of tapes - for it all to end with that line (pic related)... Incomprehensibly brutal.
>what should I expect?
Whale song.

I never bothered listening to Bjork until I saw that clip of him shooting himself. Then I was like "Holy shit this guy died to a song by Bjork, I should look it up". I was excepting it to be some weird horrible bullshit.
Instantly teary eyed when listening to it. I haven't even bothered looking up the rest of Bjork's music because I don't know if theres more shit that will make me teary eyed.
>all 21 hours
Lol what was that like? I saw a short compilation clip and the dude was clearly out of his mind
>>71550021
i suppose but half the fun of bjork is the fact that no album is alike so if you weren't a fan of a particular style she probably has something else you might enjoy

It's the most fascinating thing I've ever seen. Most of it is just dragging, but when Lopez talks, he's so taken by psychosis and infatuation.
The thing is, every once in a while he says something you can actually relate to.
I really can't describe it all. Even now, my head hurts.
I can't imagine what it'd be like if he was alive now.

Did he truly have psychosis? Or was he just LARPing?
I've seen compilation vids of him, he just looked really angry. He even seemed like he had a sense of humor.

Oh yeah he told jokes in a few occasions. But he was so obsessed with Bork that he lost sense of the world.
