Björk Appreciation Thread
Hello and welcome! I checked to make sure there wasn't already an AT for Björk and didn't see one! She DEFINITELY deserves one! Has everyone heard Crystalline? What are your thoughts?

Great! I love Bjork at least her older stuff. I really like Crystalline and Virus. They are a little more accessible although still eccentric.
I went off of her around the time of Medulla which I don't care for it all. I listened to Volta, but I wasn't too crazy about that either. It had some good ideas but the songs seemed sort of unfinished. But pop definitely needs someone eccentric and unique like her. I just hope she can reign some of her more self indulgent instincts and realize that you can still be groundbreaking while writing pop melodies. |

I love her too.'Bachelorette' is my all time favorite Bjork song and video.I just love it.So amazing and so...Bjork, I guess.
I loved 'Earth Intruders'.When it was released Timbaland was producing gem after gem and this was no exception.I actually quite loved the fact that it was a bit un-Bjork (thank you for the term, Josh Pinder) and out of her comfort zone.It didn't feel like abandoning her roots to me, just wanting to explore another direction. |

Anyone ordered the £500 version of the new album (Biophilia)? You get a nice set of tuning forks with it.

What is everyones favorite album by Bjork and east favorite out of the ones they own?
I think the one i play the most is Debut! Because it reminds me of the 90s a lot and of its very kinda Dance Pop style influences! But i think Homogenic edges itslightly! It was my first Bjork album because of my lvoe for All Is Full Of Love...and it was bought around the same time i bought Madonnas Ray Of Light too and both of them are landmark masterpiece albums. And I believe set the benchmark for Electronica/Progressive Dance to be used in Pop! ![]() Homogenic Debut Post Vespertine dont have Medulla or Volta just yet! But cannot wait to rank her next one

I think Post was a tad overrated. I really like it but a few songs are kinda dull. I still love Debut. Big Time Sensuality and There's More To Life Than This are two of my favourite Björk songs!

After re-listening I have decided that at the moment my three favourite Björk songs are There's More To Life Than This, Earth Intruders and Big Time Sensuality.
