I fucking love Bjork.
That being said, her music is just too abstract for me.
The album starts off killing it, with "Army of Me" being such a wonderfully developed song, but then gets all trancy, and Bjork-y. It's just a bunch of random notes being played with some slick beats, and then Bjork muttering something in the background. Sometimes it freaks me out, sometimes I just get so done with it.
Bjork has a talent for vocalism, but this Album was just super messed up for me. Like, let me show you a snippet of how she recorded this shit:
"To save money on taxes, many of the vocals for the album were recorded in Nassau, Bahamas by Compass Point Studios, with Björk standing well out into the ocean at sunset. The vocals for "Cover Me" were originally recorded in a bat-infested cave and featured different instrumentation." Source Wikipedia
Wait, so you're telling me she stood in a dark cave surrounding by bats to record a song of her pushing buttons? Or that she stood in the ocean with a long-ass microphone to record everything else?
I'm so happy Bjork exists. I don't know what we'd do without her.
