ITT: /mu decides the best Bjork album

>>74923769
Homogenic by far, I love its distant atmosphere, instrumentation, and lyrics better. It's probably because I relate to it too. I also love how she gets progressively crazier as the album runs. It's genius

Seconding Vespertine

>>74924628
>>74923769
Vespertine for me too

Volta

I made a strawpoll.

>>74923769
Vespertine

Its homogenic. None of the other albums come close.
Homogenic > vulnicura > post > biophilia > medulla > debut > volta

[spoiler]i havent heard vespertine

>>74925103
Why? Its one of the 4 essential albums (with debut, post and homogenic). Listen it now

Vespertine is the only Bjork album I like as a whole, I don't like the album cover tho

>>74924751
I wanted to vote vulnicura :/

>>74924019
First half is far superior

>>74925531
Alarm call and all is full of love are the best tracks tho

>>74925579
>tasteless pop song that could've been a radio hit
>some shitty version of a ballad

>>74925794
You giant fucking faggot.

>>74926076
you'll have to try harder than that

I listened to this today and it honestly blows anything else she's done in studio out of the water but as far as studio albums go Vespertine is my favorite

>>74925103
you should defiantly get on that its top 2 at least

>>74925531
The middle is superior Bachelorette, All Neon Like, 5 years, Immuture and Alarm Call

Vespertine

>>74923769

>Vulnicura second best
>Biophilia not second worst
>benut second worst

weeeeeew

I feel the same as op

It's Vespertine

Really wish Bjork would've expanded on that sound.

volta is best

Medulla. Veers a bit more strongly into abstract territory than usual for her but I adore the album's nighttime mood. It doesn't really have any of my absolute favorite songs from her but as an album I find myself the most consistently entranced by it. Oddly enough it's a lot like a stripped down, a capella Vespertine which actually isn't one of my favorites as that album, pretty as it is, tends to put me to sleep. I think Medulla's fantastic from top to bottom though and the most to my taste stylistically even if other albums have higher highs.

>>74925103
Why do people consistently rank Debut so low? It's an extremely solid pop album with a cohesive flow, and extremely memorable songwriting, but it's always ranked near the bottom with Volta.

Medúlla is objectively her best album.

Why does it always end up being between Homogenic and Vespertine in threads like these?

>>74930153
because plebs. medulla is the patrician choice.

>>74930165
Let's not get into pleb/patrician semantics.

>>74930010
I'm wondering this too

The only major con that I can think of is the subpar production

>>74930227
I think part of it might have to do with how dated it sounds. It reflects the dance music of the time, and it seems people are generally less lenient on albums that have the distinct sound of a certain era.

>>74930209
found the contrarian

>>74930265
Yeah, thats what I meant by the subpar production, but thats a good explanation on why it sounds like it does.

Although Debut has plenty of dance tracks that more than make up for the dates dancier tracks (ive only had a problem with Violently Happy tho), and some of these dance tracks like Crying are excellent

Homogenic > Medulla > Vulnicura > Vespertine > Debut > Post > Volta > Biophilia

Vespertine > Biophilia > Medulla > Vulnicura > Volta > Homogenic > Debut > Post

>>74930482
Of course, that's how I feel, which is why I wonder why people rate it so low.
>>74930680
Could you explain why you rank Debut so low?

>>74930696
>Could you explain why you rank Debut so low?
sounds like Madonna
I don't dislike Madonna, but I don't want them to sound like each other

>>74930721
Is that all?

>>74930734
it's her least intriguing album, but at least it's better than post

>>74930748
Yeah, it's very straightforward, but that's what I think makes it so solid. Very catchy, memorable rhythms and melodies that help amplify her voice, and the positive feelings of the lyrics.

THANK YOU Vespertine Live needs more respec

>>74931913
Live albums need more respect in general.

>>74930680
Anon is allergic to melodies! Noodly pretty sounds all night long and no songs as such. Bork hasn't written a good tune for about a decade

>>74932286
All of her songs are melodic as fuck. What are you on about?

Come back when you have. What are you doing?
>>74925159
Yes, but no
>>74926199
It's brilliant but I slightly prefer the more reclusive feel of the studio version
>>74929285
>>74929202
Yes
>>74929678
No.
>>74929856
Maybe...
>>74930010
I love Debut but I just don't think it's as good as her best stuff. It's better than Post though.
>>74930039
Maybe...
>>74930153
Because Vespertine is the best and Homogenic is like a water shed point in her career.
>>74930165
Medúlla is fantastic, but not liking it doesn't make you a pleb.
>>74931887
What about Homogenic Live?

>>74933049
Care to explain why Vespertine is the best?

>>74926199
Her live albums are all worth listening too
That ones the best tho

>>74926199
Homogenic live is great too

>>74925103
I listened to vespertine. Its good. First impression puts it between vulnicura and post.
