This and biophilia are her only albums that haven't had been critically acclaimed. So 7 critically acclaimed albums and 2 well received albums (3 if you count selmasongs) is a pretty good run so far I'd say, especially since one of the critically acclaimed albums is quite far into her career (vulnicura)
>>
It's ok. Not great. I don't actually know what reviewers say, but I give it eh/10. Sometimes I go back to it and remember why I usually forget about it.
>>
>>74827471
What about dr9?
>>
>>74827401
It's stupid. It's also fun and vibrant, representing the music quite well. It's supposed to have a sense of humour, which I think it does. I like it, I usually like fun things.

Metacritic says generally favourable reviews so that's another one in the bag.
Also that's the most different andavant garde work she's done so I think it's fair to exclude it most of the time

Is Medulla really that critically acclaimed?
>>
>>74827324

This.

Medulla, Volta and Biophilia all got great reviews. It's some fans who don't like them as much as her others.

I love all her albums apart from Volta, it's good but not as good as the others. I really like Voltaic though, the DVD and the CD, Bjork actually prefers the live versions too, she thought the album was just "okay."
>>
>>74827610
I haven't listened to the live versions yet, but I could imagine it being better than the studio version, seeing as it's high energy pop.
>>
>>74827610
They have "meh" ratings on rateyourmusic.
>>
>>74828080
>rateyourmusic
Fans, as he said.
>>
>>74826976

I unironically like it better than Vespertine

Looks like it
I think it deserves it
>>
>>74827610
I love voltaic too. I've only listened to the CD and thought it was much more enjoyable than the studio version. IIRC it had a great version of Army of Me on it too.
>>
>>74828461
So do I. Great.

fuck off

is bjork the dark souls of music, and this album being dark souls 2? misunderstood for trying something different, and underappreciated
>>
>>74829121
Except here, no one tried to bash Volta for attempting to be more accessible.

The cover.
>>
>>74830792
I actually quite like the cover. I think it would be better without the white outline though.
