Bjiork's new album doesn't suck!!!

05.05.2007, 08:44 AM

Good news, I really like it.

ALIEN ANAL · 05.05.2007, 08:46 AM

any tunes on the net where i can listen to some of it?

Pookie · 05.05.2007, 08:46 AM

I've heard a couple of tracks and it sounds good to me.

Have you got it porky?

demonrail666 · 05.05.2007, 08:47 AM

There was that 'Earth Intruders' one flying about on here. A bit of a love it or hate it thing, from what I remember.

05.05.2007, 08:49 AM

My friend has a promotional copy and we listened to it a lot last night. It really is good, the album I've always whished she would make. Crap songs on there too.

I like the way that Bjork has chosen to dress up as a giant Orangina bottle.

That is all.

go bjirok!

I'm hoping it's good because I was rapt while viewing her SNL performance, yet have read several lukewarm reviews so far.

///guess that's why he's emphatically denying that it sucks, unlike the opinion of some reviewers so far.

demonrail666 · 05.05.2007, 08:58 AM

A return-to-form album has been due for a while now. Something tells me this won't be it, though. I'll buy it nonetheless.

05.05.2007, 08:59 AM

I don't read reviews. I listen to records.

I have read reviews for this, they've been all good, and it matters not one whit to me either way.

In other words: what porky said.

Georgekrz · 05.05.2007, 10:45 AM

how can you return to form when everything you do is genius? haha

i was at the Radio City show, and im going tonight as well. one of the best shows out there, no doubt about it.

NWRA · 05.05.2007, 11:39 AM

I dislike the lyrics of Earth Intruders (I'm instantly turned off by lyrics which call for listener unison, i.e., which use the word 'we', as in 'we are the Earth Intruders'; I'm not a cocking Earth Intruder, whatever one is!) but the music is brilliant. Hopefully though, it doesn't go too far on the 'one world' theme, and sound like the kind of music you expect at a carnival with Chinese dragons and parading aborigines, etc, which I fear.

your post is a review though.

hm im happy you like it. im not in anry urge to listen to it though but i might. earth intruders was funny, and i enjoyed the beat.

as for the rest, i'll trust your review and try to find it.

Green Magnesium · 05.05.2007, 02:10 PM

I didn't like Earth Intruders ... but i've only heard it once. Vespertine will probably always be my favorite album of hers. It's the only one that's flawless in my mind. Of course I still love everything else from her... except Debut.

I'm certainly going to be picking this up.

AllHandsOnTheBigOne · 05.05.2007, 06:22 PM

Her last two albums have been my favorites, I'll be surprised if this is as good as either.

jimbrim · 05.05.2007, 08:19 PM

is Antony's contribution any good?

atari 2600 · 05.05.2007, 08:35 PM

I've heard the track he's (Antony Hegarty) on, "The Dull Flame of Desire," gets old due to the overly theatrical vamping on the lyric "I love your eyes, my dear" that goes on and on for too long. The song is supposed to have a nice horn section that opens it though.

No, it's not. I'm not a music journalist.
