Life's Too Good

Not for me.

Something about this just made me hate it. I think it was on Motorcrash when my jaw literally dropped because I was baffled at what the hell I was listening to. This album is the most European album I’ve ever heard. It’s more European than albums on this list that are sung in French. It’s so bad. I hate it. I don’t know why.

Strange band from the 90’s. Try to copy the B-52’s, not very successful.

Nicht meins, zu disharmonisch

Terrible. Awful. No good.

Terrible in all senses. Instruments sound awful, vocals are meandering and out of tune. Just a waste of time.

life was not good when I was listening to this. It was too weird. there is a song on here called motorcrash and it made me think if I were in a car crash right now I wouldn't have to listen to this crap

Somewhat interesting musically. Vocals in no way for me

Okay, album. Didn't enjoy it much.

Oof

Konnte ich nicht anhören. Björk macht mich fertig

I have never heard of this band before today. Sounds like a mash-up of the B52s with Rammstein in the worst way possible. First album I wanted to turn off.

I didn't enjoy it. I listened to the first several songs then checked out

nope

Forgettable

Screeching woman is not my genre

screaming. noise... Take Some Petrol is more than a track. It's advice.

Only got two songs in , this one is not for me . Is it Björk because it sounds like Björk

Lots of yelling 80s women. Pretty whacky avant-gard stuff.

Don't really like new Bjork, and apparently I also don't like old Bjork ⭐️

First listen Saved 2/11: Traitor Birthday

Not my thing. Dues and Toy I didn't get at all

Son of a... Listen, you can't just ambush a body with a Björk album like that! It's inhumane! You gotta give people time to prepare their minds and hearts for the vocal war crimes of Iceland's native drunk-demon-baby fairy princess! I hated that so much. Every damn second of it. I wish every single Björk album could be thrown into an Icelandic volcano and bleached off of every server on earth. Someone needs to be held responsible and make amends for this offense against music.

Wer Geschrei mag! Ich nicht! Gebt mir MUSIK!

I’m not a fan of Bjork

Oof. Early Bjork. Did not enjoy this. I can understand having Bjork on this list, but not an early pre-Bjork album.

eh

Apparently this album was never supposed to be taken seriously and was a surprise hit. Perhaps it was a mistake to ever take this seriously? I really hated listening to it.

Not for me thanks.

Björk has always felt like weird music for people who don't really like weird music. Take that away and this sounds like typical Eighties indie rock. Birthday is fun, and so this gets a star for that, but the rest I will be happy if I never hear again.

Bjork 😩 and then they added the annoying bastard in the background.

As stated in other reviews, not my cup of tea. Bjork sounds. No thanks.

Wow. Dit is ook een raar album zeg. Zang is niet altijd heel zuiver, beetje gillerig. Maar ook de muziek zelf veranderd regelmatig van snelheid en toon. **

Ok. Buckle Up... I'm sorry ahead of time for this super hot take. It's spicy and I hope it's taken tongue-in-cheek as it's meant. I hate this album with the flames of a thousand suns. There's nearly nothing about the album that I like. First, I don't like the songs. As compositions they lack any real potency of meaning or intent for me. I don't identify with them topically or emotionally, and I'm not even entirely convinced that there's a structure or meaning behind the them at all. Second, the recording is absolutely the worst. I've heard recordings of raccoons fighting in a dumpster that were easier to listen to. There's clipping throughout the tracks, it doesn't sound like it was mastered at all, the mix cuts the music when the voice track clips, the recording process was completely ignored. It literally sounds like they set up the instruments, plugged a single mic in the middle of the room, pushed the faders all the way up, and then hired a pack of screaming goats to have a karate tournament next to the drum set while the actual band fucked off and drank cheap wine out back by the railroad tracks. On a serious note, I'm not one to shy away from difficult music. I like art that challenges assumptions and disregards norms and breaks rules... That means it can deeply uncomfortable to listen to at times, and I appreciate that. But I genuinely don't understand this record's intent. Why were these choices made? What's the artistic expression here and why is music the choice of medium for it? What does this have to teach me? What conversation am I meant to have with this? What thoughts or emotion is it supposed to translate? I feel like someone is speaking a language I don't understand and then asking my opinion on the author's ideas.

I really don't know what i'm listening to... what the hell is happening. Musically, this is shit. How in the world is this album influential? I could easily die without hearing this. These songs are all over the place, musical anarchy. I will admit, there were a handful of bars that I was grooving to thanks to some neat percussion work. I'm gonna try to use Chris' cafe scale on this one: I walked out halfway through my scone and took back my tip from the tip jar on my way out.

Eeek, no. Like the cranberries but screachier.

Not my thing at all. Endured to track 5 then had to call it a day

09/10/2022 There’s probably nothing inherently wrong w this album, I just truly can’t stand the 1980s sound. Bjork’s vocals were fine, I can see how she found individual success after this, but overall this album just isn’t for someone like me. — Went to the maggiano’s yesterday :P very chill day. Hung out at boysville, ate the best pho of my life, and got some yummy cheesecake

eh

Lotta love for Bjork on this list.. There's a few songs that are almost tolerable on this album but it's still hard to get through.

This album has one song (Motorcross) that I sort of liked. But the entire rest of the album is fairly standard alt rock that is turned to complete shit by Bjork’s wailing. Absolutely unlistenable.

I like the female vocals on some of the songs like "F***ing in Rhythm & Sorrow", but I'm not a fan with the album as a whole.

Pas ouf mais bon j'aime bien Bjork

Absolute load of shite. I listened to about 1/3 of this drivel

I’m excited for this to be over already

This is just more Bjork garbage. Yeesh bad singing - I don't understand how anyone could like her music. 3/10.

Very unsure about this album at first listen. A little harmonica action and faint yelling at the beginning of Traitor. No idea what they are saying. It's really whiny and screamy. I don't think I like this.

1.5

Nah. I like bjork but this is shite.

It's just Bjork. Full stop. It's Bjork with messed up guitar twangs. Nope.

so so bad.

Trash

Kinda underwhelming - I guess Bjork had to start somewhere. Nothing really stands out - very standard alt rock

I'm Alright

I almost gave this a 5 because of how impressive it is to make something this bad.

"Birthday" unerträglich nervig zum Teil, aber dann zwischendrin auch wieder gut. Sehr eigenartig. Motorcrash absoluter scheiß Text. Insgesamt mehr Nervig als Funky. Die beiden Sänger*innen haben doch völlig einen an der Waffel. Thanks but no thanks. Machts euren Scheiß alleine. Der Letzte Track "take some petrol darling" hat dem Album grade die 1* Berwertung eingebrockt. Obwohl die Geräusche etwas an Rompeprop erinnern. Alles in Allem aber schon ganz schöne scheiße

Wenn punker versuchen Avantgarde zu sein kommt das dabei raus, unerträglich. einfach nur komisch, sogar für mich zu experimentell und verkopft. Wobei verkopft impliziert jemand hätte sich dabei Gedanken gemacht. ich glaube das nennt man dann einfach pfusch, schand und schluderei.
