Reviews (page 13 of 13)
Bjork's music is better without Bjork. The voice goes through my head. Also prefer her previous band The Sugacubes.
Kokeilut eivät kiinnosta minua. Minua kiinnostaa se, mitä kokeilijat eivät voi saavuttaa, ja minkä takia he kokeilevat. En sano, etteikö tällä kokeilijalla olisi mitään tuntumaa siitä jostain. Mutta hänen esteettinen visionsa on lähtökohtaisesti liian "taiteellinen", anti-rock n roll, ja aksenttinsa liian islantilainen (sori, mutta osuu turhan lähelle..).
Debut is the same as all the other Bjork. Not for me, 2/5.
This gets stellar reviews on the site, but I prefer her later stuff - to me a lot of the sound here sounds very dated. Her voice is amazing, but the music behind it is a bit too disco/electro in a lot of places for it to work for me. 2/5.
Woahhh, looks like Björk is into electronica after all. Too bad I'm not.
2 stars for her voice which is great however music not for me. Very irritating.
The techno-style and shrill singing makes you wish she used autotune. There were a few, um, listenable tunes. Like Someone in Love, One Day, and were ok. Come to Me was the most music-like track on the album.
Abstract concept and good incorporation of jazz into a different genre, lyrics were inciting but did not make a great impact, it felt like they lack some correlation with the instrumentation.
Not really a fan of her voice. Musically it's quite solid but her singing ruins it for me.
Прослушано! Средний альбом вроде и неплохо, но не цепляет.
Not for me.
I like some parts of this album, but more parts I dislike
no tengo el oido entrenado para esto
Second Bjork album for me from the generator, and I must say.. Bjork blue-balled me. The Bjorkster blue-balled me big time. The opening couple of tracks were so fire, and then she just had to go and turn into.. well.. quirky dorky Bjork I guess. I give this 2 swollen, aching love spuds.
Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: yes and no, i will say yes in the fact I respect bjork for what she has done for music but I just don’t understand the hype about her style, not a lot of it seems to match up or cohere but that could also be part of the charm? Maybe I need to listen again and to more of her work but I just don’t get it for now? Favourite song: Track 10 - Violently Happy
Skum, artsy, dansmusik.
meh
Pass.
Just not for me
Her voice grated on me at times, and I didn't love the music.
It’s not for me. Big Time Sensuality is an alright song, but I can’t do a full album of Björk’s oddball schtick. Long live this proud freakish weirdo, but she’s not of my tribe.
adele mais pop
not for me
I’ve always tried to get into Bjork but failed. This was another instance. There are some really interesting parts but ultimately it’s nonsense.
Nunca lo había escuchado, creo que solo conocía una canción, esta bueno, pero no es mi estilo.
A decent album that has concepts that are impressive. I can see why people like bjork and find her music special. She is a good singer and the production with the various instrumentals is really good. The lyrics and some of the songs are introspective and take a good look at life. However I myself don’t find the album that enjoyable. As impressive as it is it’s still not for me. 4.6/10
This one sounds like a hipster tried to recreate the sound track to Mario 64 from memory and then put vocals to it
I just don't get her. I think she's one of those artists that critics love (for some unknown reason), but most people just scratch their head. I didn't hate this, but I definitely won't be adding it to my collection!
I did not care for this. Idk what else to add, it wasn't for me and I don't want to hear it again
I have given it a chance so far and I'm just not really digging the music or her singing style. Human behavior was the standout track for me. I didn't hate it but just not for me.
Bit weird for me "There's more to life than this" Live just for the weird car trunk part Maybe The Anchor Song
Werkt me nog steeds op de zenuwen
Moeilijke zanglijntjes en zweverige muziek. Veel mensen lopen weg met haar, maar ik kan er heel weinig mee en deze plaat verandert daar niets aan.
FAIR
First time hearing this one. I've heard her follow up album, Post, which I actually prefer more than this. Debut was not quite as memorable, but maybe I need to give it time to sink in. There were moments I liked, I just didn't hear any standout tracks.
a unique sound for sure. Lots of pop-y beats and dissonant horns and melodies with a bit of jazz thrown in. Kinda felt like a fever dream I’d like to avoid. Didn’t enjoy other than Like Someone In Love.
Very irritating.
Didn’t care for it
Interesting. I liked moments of her voice, but overall the sound was just too weird to be enjoyable.
Dear Bjork, When this album was released I tried to listen and embrace it, but it just didn't click with me and couldn't get past the sound of your voice. I also tried listening to your previous band, the Sugarcubes and as much as I wanted to like it, I couldn't. I realize your music has put Iceland on the global radar as a hotbed for cultural talent, so I feel I should give your music another try and thanks to this 1001 albums challenge I'm having another listen. Sorry, this still doesn't do anything for me, I'm trying to be open-minded, but I just don't care for it. You deserve the accolades you have received because you are clearly talented and unique and you have a dedicated and passionate fan-base so you are truly doing something special. I promise i will try again in maybe...30 years (or sooner), so thank you for your music. Sincerely yours, TDIT
This wasn't bad....for a couple of songs. After that, her voice just grated on me and the music seemed to meander.
Not for me
Muy radical, extremo.
Not a fan
Bjork sounds like a word I would use to describe this music
Enjoyable, I like Bjork's voice, it's a nice counterpoint to all the baby voiced female singers of the modern era. She sings like she really means it. She isn't afraid to leave gaps in the music and let the emotion in her voice fill it in.
Maybe just not in the mood for this sound when I was listening to it.
never heard an album before where the singer holds vowel sounds for so long
not really for me.
2 stars for creativity
2/5 not really my cup of tea
Couple of songs
Debut by Björk (1993) Dazzlingly eclectic and playful instrumentals and arrangements over snappy dance beats carry lame lyrics, anti-melodies and pop-ish vocals across the finish line on this relatively cool album. But the attempted cover of Johnny Burke’s “Like Someone In Love” reveals the serious limitations of Björk’s voice. Shoulda left this one off the record. “Violently Happy” is lyrically fascinating, but spoiled by a melody stuck on the fifth. Makes me want to grab one. As for the rest of the Björk’s vocals, well, it’s not Cyndi Lauper. 2/5
Just not a fan
Sounds like a whale being raped
love the 90s dance vibes when they turned up, but she's fucking annoying isn't she.
Must have been some interesting drugs involved.
This is half good and half just weird. Not good weird either. Just weirdness for the sake of being weird.
Not really my cup of tea, but original for sure.
appreciate the artistry just wasn’t for me
How she sings is so bloody annoying
At times bizarre, other times danceable. Thought this would be much worse than it is, but honestly, it's not terrible. However, don't plan to listen ever again.
Never like Bjork that much
Not as good as I remembered when it first came out.
ive only listened to Post maybe 2 months ago and loooooved it so much. sadly I only sort of liked a couple songs from this one :(
I am sorry, I just can't handle Bjorks voice, it drives me crazy. Some good music played on this album, but then she sings!!!!!!! 2 stars
Couldn't really get through it. I sort of get why she's so loved but I think there's enough experimental music and breadth of genre now as compared to when this was released that it's not as revolutionary
Nunca tinha ouvido nada desta jovem, nem sabia para o que ia. A cantora islandesa pelo que entendo conjuga o ritmo eletrónico com com a sua voz que se enquadra mais numa música pop, algo que na sua genese faz lembrar o Dummy dos Portishead, mas na execução tem nada a ver. Para não dizer que o álbum dos Portishead é muito superior. Entendo o porquê de ser um dos álbuns a ouvir antes de morrer, é algo muito único. No entanto é chato de se ouvir, parece que estou a ir a uma discoteca nos anos 2000. No geral é algo diferente e tem o seu valor, mas não me obriguem a ouvir isto novamente. A melhor música do álbum é o Human Behaviour. Nota:4/10 06/06/2024
I like some of her stuff but i've never been a fan. I only enjoyed a couple of tracks on this album.
Tried, honestly tried but it's just shite.
Fine. Didn't do it for me.
Doesn't have the same affect as Sugarcubes for me, and listening 27 years later feels like there are 100 albums that have mimicked it more successfully.
Una de les artistes més sobrepreuades de les últimes décades. Potser va sorgir en el moment adequat, l'estèril de mitjans dels 90 després de la bogeria grunge, però sembla m'ha semblat que està molt lluny de les lloances generades. 'Human Behaviour' és un bon tema, tot s'ha de dir
Voz llena de sentimiento. Variedad de instrumentos. Pop sin extravagancias. Un tanto experimental. No me ha gustado especialmente.
Rare
A techno album with a song featuring a harp? Gutsy. Doesn't pull it off, though.
Ouff... Je sais qu'elle est considérée comme une grande artiste, mais sérieux... C'est le genre d'affaire qui me stress à mort! La voix les beats.. Pas pour moi :/ J'aurai essayé!
I don’t like the dance beats at all. Sounds Sounds like a tik tok wanna be singer belting over the macarena at times. Not good. But not as terrible as some other stuff we’ve heard. Tries too hard to be experimental and “artistic.”
Quite interesting but not my cup of tea. 5/10
Meh
Listening to Bjork is like hanging out with a mentally unstable friend and it’s always made me uncomfortable
Not horrible, not spectacular. But most importantly, not for me.
Not interested.

Nao gostei da voz meio insegura
I just started... I am nervous. I mean, it's just not my sound. I will say, \"Big Time Sensuality\" has that 90s disco vibe that slaps. But, I would be okay (and I know Jonah would, too), if I didn't hear Bjork for a long while.
Tolle Stimme, aber die Art und Weise, wie sie benutzt wird, kommt bei mir nicht an. Irgendwas mit Katzen und Jammern. Schade!
Definitely get the artistic value and futurism of this album, but it does not land for me as a listener probably due to my personal genre tastes. Lots of avant-garde house music fusing a variety of genres to create a new sound. The album seems like I'm listening to Bjork experiment in her studio and transitioning from idea to idea until something clicks. The journey is worth the listen even if the music doesn't speak to you personally. Stand-Outs: Like Someone in Love (of course, it's a Jazz standard with a harp rendition, pretty cool), Violently Happy
It's got variety but none of it's good.
i got scared
0/5 SHUT UP
There are some interesting experimental sounds in this album, such as Aeroplane. Unfortunately, Bjork doesn’t really seem to get off the ground with Debut. She explores a range of emotions throughout and has some good messages, but maybe if I was born in a different year or under a different sign I could appreciate her talents. Other than some decent beats now and then, there wasn’t much I connected to in Debut.
No more Björk on here, please. I’m begging.
I'll say, I'm a few seconds in and already I know this is... not my type. Some people might like this, that's good for them. I wish I did not spend 48 min and 21 sec listening to this. It's a little odd- doesn't match my odd. It is upbeat and happy, but in a slightly diagonal and depressing way. Its a little bit annoying
I tried on 2 different occasions to try and listen to this album. It just did not happen. I could not listen to this at all holy. The songs just did not age or I just could not listen to more than 2 songs.
not my vibe at all rip
Björing
No puedo con su voz lo siento
Nah sorry but wtf
Most of the time, when I don’t like a piece of music, I can see what other people do—it’s just that it isn’t effective on me personally. This album is one of those rare albums where I don’t understand at all, and simply assume that people who like it must be smarter than me to see something that I don’t. Boring, odd without being compelling, overstays its welcome. Rating: 1.5
I just am not the audience for bjork it's just not my cup of tea and never had been and won't be, it was just not good!
Wow I hated this. Would leave the room if it was playing.
No está mal
Human Behaviour was on the radio when I was a junior in Hs. I thought it wasn’t great then and it hasn’t gotten any better. She whines through the entire album. How does this shit make the list?
insufferable, someone please shoot me in the face with a gun
Merde
SHUT THE FUCK UP
i hate bjork
I did not like this
👎
Friends don't make friends listen to Bjork. I am not a fan of Bjork and listening to this is like my version of hell.
Trash
Her voice is terrible, and the music is just noise to me.
Songs are either incredibly dated or their beat sounds like a Crash Bandicoot level. First album for this I had to stop partway through.
I can say that its good but I just dont like it, not my style of music, only really like, feel like I could only listen to Venus as a boy
Love experimental albums! Not this one though, dropped on the second song
Not a fan. Appears very raw and noisy
just not my shi
Yeaaa,, nahhhhh
Minder geschreeuw dan verwacht.. 1 ster.
Seriously?????
Çok şaapamadım ya bu hafif kafamız güzel ama yavaş şarkı vibes sevmiyorum pek… vokal de glb belki değil di tek
Nope
🤮 This album is what was “in the box”
😏
Eh
an interesting one
Ik snap echt niet wat iedereen zo leuk vindt aan Björk. Ik vind het verschrikkelijk. Haar stem jeukt in m'n oor. Ik vind het irritant. DNF
What the fuck
Sere mi se od Bjork, neslušljivo. Ne razumijem ljude koji ju vole. 1/5, 1/10
A couple bright spots musically but it's a no for me for the voice and lyrics. Listened before? N Saved tracks? N Favorite tracks? None ⭐ Did not like it
Meh
A little too abstract and out there for me.
2/10

Struggled listening to this one. Singing was annoying and music was just nonsense thumpy stuff.
i do not like bjork
Can’t stand Bjork. Never got the hype, never will. Terrible record, next.
That’s a no for me.
je n'arrive pas à aimer björk
Awful.
Boooo!
Experimental Björk music is the only way to describe this. Her voice is lovely but the music doesn't quite fit it in some songs. Definitely not my cup of tea. 1/10
hated it
Annoying songs
I was very scared to listen to this. Yep, Bjork scared me. It was not as scary as I thought, nor a weird. It's odd, to be sure and I don't want to listen to it anymore but not scary.
I wish I was sophisticated enough to understand why this is a top album at all.
Album alternated between songs I thought were alright to ones that got on my tits. Listening on the train probably aggravated by rating
Don't like this playlist that much 1 star
I've been dreading the day I have to listen to a Bjork album. It has finally arrived. Let me preface: She seems like a nice person, she makes music where she looks like she is having a ton of fun. This fucking sucks, its so bad. It's like a middle schooler stole some redbulls from their parents fridge and made an album by themselves in the garage with instruments they were completely unfamiliar with. I almost DNF'd, but I stayed with it, out of respect. Best Song: N/A Rating: 1/10 Stars: 1/5
Definitiv unique, hat mich aber absolut kalt gelassen und ich konnte nicht drumherum, einiges zu überspringen. Kam mir oft einfach nervig und einfach wie irgendein aufgenommener Lärm vor. 1 – Konnte ich gar nichts mit anfangen 😬 Hat mich nicht angesprochen, kein Zugang gefunden – weder musikalisch noch emotional. Eher Qual als Genuss.
She's saying the same words over and over and over and over. Each song had the same qualities, the same raspy voice. I did not like this album.
Nope, too out there for me. I like some avant garde stuff, but Björk gives me a headache
Not for me
I really wanted to like this album but while it has many styles I found it wasn't resonating with me at all.
Too avant garde for me
Out of Bobcat or Bjork, this is definitely Bjork
When this album ended, I said, "Oh thank God." out loud. This was a slog for me. It's not the kind of vibe that I look for in anything. It's wispy and laissez-faire in a way that just feels so dead. The music is upbeat and as the songs would start, I'd be bopping along, then the singing started and I just kept checking how long the song had left. Not the worst thing I've ever heard, but still a one for me.
I hate Bjork
Hsks
Zuhause, Heidenheim, Deutschland. Furchtbarer Müll…
Honestly, I thought I'd like it more. It totally didn't get to me. Not a single song caught me. I think I was open, trying to like it, but just didn't happen. It's a bummer, such an iconic album and album cover. I guess it isn't for me.
Not that good!
Who and what the fuck is a Bjork? As if you couldn't tell from the music, she grew up on a commune.
not my jam at all, even annoying at times
What a unique artist back then and now. At first I’m captured by her voice and great singing, but then I start to question her voice and style. It’s as if she recorded her vocal performance for half the album or more with no music written and afterwards they wrote music to underlay what she already sang. There’s a disturbing disconnect between the rhythm being played and what she is singing over it. It kinda makes me sick to my stomach honestly. She lags behind the beat so much and I find it really grating. She is a talented singer for sure, but her style grew stale for me after 3-4 songs. Shes a one trick pony and all of her music sounds the same.
I have never liked Bjorks voice sadly. I like quite a few Icelandic artists but she’s not my vibe.
I understand that Bjork is popular for some reason but her voice annoyed me to no end and the music didn’t vibe with me either. I’m not sure how people sit down and listen to this and enjoy it.
I hate this album, tried listening it a few times and just stopped after a few songs. Annoying droning vocals, frustrating drums and uninteresting lyrics.
for someone just not me 2/5
weird
Lowkey hate the first song, it sounds like she's singing completely out of tune. In fact, the only song I tolerate on this entire album is "Venus as a Boy". I honestly don't think I've hated an album so much before but I'm never going to listen to this again. 0 stars
Not for me. Don't like electtronic
Not sure what this was but it’s not for me
2/10
completely not my thing, but it's okay ig...
I hate this.
The music starts. Björk comes in. She’s in a completely different key. Great. It’s another dissonant album. Although less whale-like than her later album, the style of singing in her debut album sets the tone for the whiny sound her music takes. Not for me.
Wow I am not a Bjorn fan. This is like Alanis Morisette fan fiction. Boo
Not a fan
Damit kann ich nichts anfangen. Die Stimme nervt mich einfach nur.
this is wank
The singles are catchy and Björk has some voice, but I found this generally fairly bland. It feels like she is holding back.
Probably only popular because of her mysterious Icelandic elven allure.
God this was a hard listen... The beats are fun and then Björk starts to sing..."There's More to Life Than This" was fine except for that weird part in the middle...wtf was that. This was tough. "Crying" also had some solid beats. "Aeroplane" was actually horrible and why was "The Anchor Song" included? Fuckin terrible. I was waiting for this album to end. I hate rating albums so low since "Dub Housing" but there was literally not a single song here that I added or marked to listen to again... I think "Violently Happy" was my "favorite" song? The beat was cool and the vocals weren't horrible. What was that intro tho?
This gave me a better understanding of one of the characters in the show Sense8. Not my groove though.
Stressful. Not for me at all.
Bjork appeals to someone, and I have heard enough to know that I am not that someone. Just a little too quirky and out there for my tastes. That said I know she has had a profound influence on a lot of indie and electronic groups. But, I just can't seem to get into her music.
this shit weak af gng
Not my type.
Absolutely not.
Just no
Not my style. 1/10
Just not for me
Not my vibe
Too Avant Gard for me.
Not a fan, just noise and annoying singing
This was not my cup of tea. There were a couple songs that I really enjoyed, where the production felt like a clear precursor to what is now EDM, and her voice layered smoothly on top of it while maintaining a certain sharpness. Through the rest of the album, the production seemed disjointed at best, lacking melody and not finding pleasant rhythms. The vocal sharpness that gave necessary punch to the few enjoyable tracks was grating elsewhere. 2 / 10
It's so late 80s/early 90s sounding. It's so jangly. Not a fan. I couldn't say I enjoyed one song.
Not a fan
i'm sorry but I don't get it, as many times as I ried listening to her music
Not for me.
Not a fan it just went over my head and it was not poppy enough for me but that is fine for some people just not me.
Not good then, worse now.
I like the part where it sounds like she corners you at a party and starts speaking tongues. There's absolutely no question what decade this album came from. It sounds like the music at a rave in a Sci-Fi movie. Like a classy rave for the elites in society. I really enjoyed the first track but they're all basically the same. I actually really like her voice.
Please never again shocking
i like her taste in samples, for the most part, but really dislike literally every other part.
This is like the third album i heard (this one being more acceptable than the others) This feels like if that eccentric colleague who say that they are a great singer and when you hear it you internally go "for the love of god make her stop" got a music carrier. sometimes you hear her voice clear to then jump to a shrieking dissonant note,then to a monotone and finally to a random screaming note. I don't get Björk. it feels like it's one of those artist that live of the "You just aren't an art critic, like me"-people. To me this just sounds like "Weird for Weird's sake". Instrumentations are okey to pretty decent just drop the vocals and it would be fine.
Did not listen
Electronica-pop overlaid with lyrics.
Not a Bjork fan. That has remained unchanged!
How did this get on the list
Well I'm glad I never have to hear that again. Painful. I have no idea how this passes as music. It's not artistic, it's just not.
Never been a fan and this hasn’t converted me. I don’t get her popularity.
Baby babble nonsense.
Felt like an 80’s disco record
I really dislike bjork
This album was not very good, I’m not sure how it has such high ratings
1.5
Human Behavior - I like the instrumentals, but the way she sings it... I just can't stand it. It doesn't fit AT ALL Crying - it's better bc of the outro, but no lyrical content and forgettable. The instrumentals are okay. I don't like how she sings it. It's so unpredictable and off beat. Venus As A Boy - Doesn't stand out for me. I hate the glass falling sound, but I like the violins There's More To Life Than This - I have never heard a song like this. It's kinda fun Like Someone In Love - So boring. Big Time Sensuality - I love the beat, but she ruins it. It's just like she tried to sing this all in one take wihtout hearing it back to see if it actually sounded good. One Day - this is alright. Stands out for me. Aeroplane - her voice gets me so mad. She's singing in cursive and decides to scream at the most random moments. Come To Me - I like this, cuz her voice sounds nice on this song. it feels a bit like a fairytale Violently Happy - I loved when the beat came in. It's a little bit boring, but I like it. The Anchor Song - boring, atleast her vocals were a little bit better. Overal thought: Such a shame that you have such nice beats and instrumentals and that you sing over them so badly. Not for me. It's funny that I said on the album 'the score' that they could sing with a bit more emotion. This is the exact opposite: please sing with a little LESS emotion. Debating If I should give this a 1 or 2, because towards the end there were a couple songs that I didn't find terrible, but I think I'm staying at a 1 for now. Ranking: 1/5
Couldn’t finish it….
Dumb
Not my thing
Unique voice, and music. Not my genre.
I know, I know... she's cutting edge. Her own sound. Trendsetter, feminist, a swan wearing visionary. But, also ear-bleeding vocal dissonance and random melodies that make my brain hurt. Not today, Björk. Not today.
Hate the techno
etwas zu viel Harfe und weird
Nah
I just don't think she has a very good voice. The music was nice, but her voice is weak and unremarkable.
Holy shit a 5th Bjõrk?! The music is garbage. Stay away. Burn it down. It is definitely a 90s album but not a good one. It is better than some of her other albums that made the list, but that's about it. No need to listen.
Awful Like somebody was swinging a cat by its tail
I absolutely love her sweater. Unfortunately we're rating her music :(
I do not like this at all. I like the album cover though. She looks like a girl version of Michael Jackson.
It doesn't suck as much as Medulla. But god it still sucks.
I enjoyed the instruments, but her voice is like listening to someone else's kid incessantly whining.
Fand ich einfach nur exzentrisch und anstrengend anzuhören
This has to be the last one right?
Looks and sounds like a goth demon. Violently Happy was a great track because that is how I felt when the album was almost done.
Human behavior ist good. The Rest ist ok
Wow. Just, wow. A very, very difficult listen and for almost no reward. Sheeeeeite.
Nope
Not for me
Nope.
Didn’t want to finish after the first song 1/55 Has some good parts but not enough to change my opinion
Not enough edibles in the world to make this album good
Just boring mostly. Not feeling it at all
Don’t enjoy this, not my cup of tea, Bjork is an acquired taste and unfortunately not for me. If i had to pick 2 songs Play Dead and Come to me would be the best on that album.
I learnt Erin is not a Bjork fan
Thank God that's over! What a dumpster fire of musical styles and genres that album was. Bjork can't maintain one specific genre throughout the entirety of this album. She goes from jazz to house to electro pop to art pop, and usually switches multiple times per song. You just start to settle in for a pleasing listen to a song and BAM... You're headed off in a completely different direction. The one thing that was good about this album is Bjork's voice, but most of the time I have no fucking idea what she's even saying. Overall, this album was a train wreck. I struggled to get through the album. The house/electronica numbers were leaps and bounds better than anything else on the album. That is because at least those songs had a pulse. For fuck sakes, call this album dead in the water and move on. I won't be listening again, and I'm not looking forward to the other album Bjork has on this generator. Personally, I feel it a disservice that she gets 2 albums on this generator, and an absolute legend such as Harry Belafonte gets none. This generator is definately skewed towards bullshit European bands that no one cares about. Favourite songs: Play Dead... I guess?!? Least favourite songs: Like Someone In Love, Human Behaviour... And the rest of the album... What garbage 1/5
Not for me
Not a fan of Bjork, wasnt that bad per se just not my taste
Crying // Like Someone In Love // 1.5/5
So the first two songs I actually liked and I actually thought maybe a 2 star or even 3 stars at that point, but then the Bjorkinish arose and just kept spiraling out of control, couple that with lame ass electronic music that sounds like it was composed on a Commodore 64. For the love of god please be the last of her albums!
God, please, no more Bjork. Her voice is the musical equivalent of a vocal fry. It's so unlistenable that I seriously, at times, question my sanity as to why ANYONE likes her. Like, can you not hear how god awful her singing is. Doesn't it pierce your skull to the point that you want to gouge your ears out because the blood dripping from your ears would be a more pleasant experience than having to listen to her alternate between warbling and shrieking? Please tell me this is the last Bjork album on the list.
Only Bjork album I liked was Volta. I can’t really stomach a full bjork album lol. This a no for me.
No puedo con ella(PSP)
Why this list has so much Bjork is Bjeyond me.
Whining dog shit.
I'm sorry man, I just don't get it
Still not for me.
Oh boy
Not my jam at all! Very strange.
Just not my cup of tea…
No la soporto.
I just can't do Björk. I do not get how this album has a 3.42 star global rating. I hate all things electronica and Dimery's fascination with the genre constantly frustrates me. Her voice just annoys me and it isn't even bolstered by that impactful of lyrics. The shrieking just makes me want to turn it off the entire time. The vocals are horrendous and the music is just as mediocre barring a couple small shining moments. This just fits what I need for an album to get a 1 star rating. I wanted to turn it off the entire time. I was tempted to bump it up to a 2 for the importance, but I just can't betray the pain my ears went through for the last 48 and a half minutes.
Sometimes pretty cool and other times sounds like a 5-years old was giving an old casio synthesizer to do some random stuff on, was really hoping it would finish after the first song but unfortunately got more songs after that
- Gewöhnungsbedürftig - Instrumental irgendwie experimentell - Gesang sehr homogen - Der Singsang eher nervig - Echt nicht meins
I've never understood the Björk thing. I still don't. This record took a long time to get through.
Nope
Niby cos nowego, ale jednak jedno wielkie deja vu, bo jest to kolejny popowo taneczny krazek z lat 90, tym razem roznica jest jego egzotycznosc, bo jak nazwa wskazuje Debut jest pierwszym studyjnym krazkiem w dyskografii pani Björk, ktorej pseudonim wskazuje na egzotyczne pochodzenie, w tym przypadku chodzi o islandie, plyta z 93 jest wszystkim czym moze byc debiutancki material mlodej artystki chcacej zawojowac swiat swoja muzyka, wiec utwory przepelnione szczesciem i wylewajaca sie z niej miloscia, zroznicowane od akustycznych ballad jak like someone in love po ubga bugowe rytmy parkietowe jak na big time sensuality, dodatkowo jest to az 48 minut rozwleczone do granic mozliwosci przez 10 sesyjnych muzykow bioracych udzial w nagraniach, sama pani Björk jest zlistowana jako operatorka klawiszowo synthowa no i wokalistka, a rowniez jako wrajterka lub ko wrajterka liryczna, ale cos tak mialkiego i nie przekazujacego nic poza tym, ze ktos planowal sprzedac dobrze nowa egzotyczna gwiazde w europie, czy raczej w jukeju, bo tamten rynek muzyczny byl docelowym targetem, no i z tamtych stron ludzie biora udzial w nagraniach, technicznie i muzycznie, na plejke nie mam nic, bo material wypala uszy swoja nijakoscia, spiewane przez kogos, ale nie da sie uslyszec kogo
Didn't care for it. Way to screechy for me.
vilket jävla mög
Bjork Schmork
Not for me
First song was really good - after that it feels like boring dance music
Did not really get this album.
This is my third bjork album now and I am getting really tired of hearing them. I have no idea why they are on this list once, let alone three of them. Hopefully there's not a fourth. No recognized songs
I don't think so. Sorry Bjork.
Bjork was weird.
I did not dig it at all
Not for me.
Wasn’t my vibe.
Meh
Not a huge fan. One or two songs I could listen to, but mostly too discordant and screechy for my taste.
Big Time Sensuality is a banger Venus as a boy is alright Come To Me is not bad The rest kinda sucks, sorry Bjork
A little too obscure for me
Infumable. No entiendo la fama de esta chica. Un tostón de aquí te espero.
Je voulais améliorer mes connaissances musicales, mais cet album ne manquait clairement pas à ma culture. C'est juste pas écoutable! Mon hit: Le bouton skip
Abstract avant-guard meets “Ross’s Sound” from Friends.
There's more life than this beautifully sums up this album which is a discordant mess. Terrible voice. Weird. 1 star. Fucking terrible album
Didn’t do much for me.
Me likey
