Not a Björk fan. I did once, in the 2000s, pay a bunch of money to put this entire album on an early electronic jukebox at a bar.
There’s one or two songs that aren’t as Bjorky as the rest. But it’s still a very Bjorky album overall. Just can’t get into her style. 1.5
terrible.
FINALLY SOMETHING FROM THE 2000s!!! Update: TBH I didn't listen to it... lol her voice annoyed me for some reason 😭😭
Too experimental for me.
Mało muzyczna muzyka. Bez rytmu i melodii. 1
Just didn’t do it for me. Boring & odd
500 was great and for 501 we go right back to this kind of bullshit. Second (and I pray last) time I encountered this weirdo moaning her way through back music tracks. Tried three tracks couldn’t make it through any of them. Needs a negative rating.
Ethereal and just, well, no
I guess there’s something for everyone out there. This one falls into The “Talentless and Depressed” genre, feeding a fan base of females on the cusp of going full lesbian. More power to them! We need more Lesbians, I say! Just pick better music!
Another Bjork album, another one start rating.

<eye roll>
Please less Bjork..PLEASE. Wow, i couldnt wait for this painful hour to be over. Bjork i get it, you're weird...can we stop now. TY!
Nunca me ha gustado Björk, traté de darle una oportunidad con este disco y me sigue no gustando.
i didn't really enjoy it, it go better as it went on but like it wasnt for me
björk
Not into experimental, weird music
The production was good, but her singing voice is quite annoying. It's so exaggerated and I feel like the songs are similar to Bob Dylan's; they would be better if someone else was singing them.
Did not like this one as much
Not my thing
Strange voice. Strange music.
Favorite Song: None
Rough stuff. Fever dream soundtrack. Nails on a chalk board. Nightmare music. It's music for ASMR freaks before anyone knew what an ASMR was. Some of it threatens to be soothing, but it never is. I'm good
Govno
Did not like
This might be the worst Non-electronic or Non-Experimental album on the list oh my god. There is no way you guys like this right? You're messing with me? Best Song: Pagan Poetry Rating: 1/10 Stars: 1
Not this twit again. Frickin horrrrrrrible 0.00
Keech! Pure unadulterated keech!
Not for me
I really do not get the reason she has such a following. The only cut on the album that I found even remotely pleasing was "Aurora", and that was still a slog. The dissonance of both her voice and music just do not work for me. As for her lyrics, they read/sound like a forest nymph reading junior high school poetry. So, not even close to a likeable album.
Really not a fan of Bjork's amelodic music.
Best: It's not up to you Worst: lowkey too many to count Liked songs: 4/12, 33% High 1 I'm missing something. That's the only real explanation I can think of for my first ever 1/5 review on this site being the album that aoty considers the 8th greatest album of all time. This album to me is if someone tried way too hard for their music to be called "unique" or "beautiful," because there's certainly times the album reaches those points, but it's usually after a LOT of failed attempts to reach those points. Because of that, it's really one of only a couple of albums I've ever listened to where I felt genuine relief when it finished. I'm sure I'll listen to it again and be transformed in body and soul like the other reviews, but until then, it's gotta be a one.
Absolutely not
Rubbish
Awful
Once you've heard one of her albums you've heard them all. If it was AC/DC thats a plus but if you didn't love the first one your not going to love the second.
Oh good. ASMR Björk. Just what the world needed.
Its Bjork what more do I need to say than that its not fun time at all.
Not for me
muh
Bjork Chops.
1/5
Бьорк считают либо гением, либо ебанько. Я за второй вариант
She's so bad I have NO IDEA how she ever became popular. Her voice is dreadful, the music is just noise and clicking (set the table for late Radiohead nonsense) and there are no hooks. It's like someone drunk as hell just babbling over boring choppy music. Not a hit on it, no radio songs, no longevity, no watercooler talk ("what ever happened to that kick ass Bjork gal?"), no nothing. Zero payoff for me. I saw the Sugarcubes open for U2 ages ago and knew right then and there that I was not a fan. 1 star for fooling the world for a few years. I couldn't finish a single song. Pure shit.
Nope. 1.5
The second Bjork album that’s been forced upon me on this album challenge so far. Weirdly I actually enjoyed a lot of the musical arrangements and can tell there’s some beautiful stuff going on. Pagan Poetry, for example, sounded damn near ethereal. AND THEN BJORK DID HER WEIRD SINGING AND RUINED IT LIKE SHE HAS DONE FOR NEARLY EVERY SONG SHE’S ON. There are songs where she sings halfway normally and it sounds fine, so I know the weird singing style on certain songs is on purpose! And it ruins everything! How can people listen to this and want more?! How do they not rip out their headphones in disgust?!
I have nothing nice to say about this album. Here goes a low-effort joke instead: The Horse of Shock and Astonishment when Pagan Poetry comes on : 😳🐴
It's an hour of Bjork, not sure what else to say... 1/5
Preteško mi je ovo za slušati, došla sam do pola albuma i nisam mogla nastaviti, uz najbolju volju. 1/5, 1/10.
Ugh bjork...
Never listened to Bjork before... pretty weird, definitely an artsy voice, super electronic music. Very much not a fan or her voice, it's super spacey and kinda grating. Her voice reminds me of the chick from Bob's Burgers who sings the oil spill song. Come to think of it she was almost definitely based on Bjork. This is pretty hard to get through. This might be the first album of the whole thing that I have to turn off, man I cannot fucking stand her voice. Yeah I'm a bit ashamed I had to turn it off but holy shit I hated that.
Whhhaaaaaattt thhheee fuuuuckkk…nope!
Hän eli Artiste säästää loppuun yhden biisin, joka ylittää äkkiväärän sentimentalismin. Ei riitä. Ehkä vain en pidä Taiteesta. Pohjoismaisen tönkkö aksentti ainakin osuu edelleen traumaattisen lähelle. 1,5
Björn: konnte noch keinen Song zu Ende hören. Zu schwierig.
not my style
Fuck, not more Bjork... 3 of her albums on this generator is far too many. It's just more of the same moaning and horseshit that her other albums were. A few of these songs showed promise, then Bjork started singing and agitating dogs in the local area with her high pitched caterwauling. No. Just no... Favourite songs: Hidden Place, Pagan Poetry Least favourite songs: Cocoon, An Echo a Stain, Sun in My Mouth, Harm of Will 1/5. I pray that is the last Bjork album I have to suffer through
Oh good, another Bjork album. No. Still no....
Another miserable album from berk
I can’t stand this. I don’t know why people like this music?
Don't get it and didn't like anything about this. Pretty much my review from the other from this person. ND hockey had a great player named Anders Bjork. Have a friend, who's band is called Suburban, Travis Bjork. His band is better than this person.
I found this boring. Last few songs picked up a bit but still weren’t anything I would ever want to listen to again. If it was a bit more upbeat I could see it being good chillstep type music to study to. 2/10
Ich mag Björk noch immer nicht. Langweilig.
I really liked her song "Human Behaviour" back in the day...but this album is a little bit out there.
Never heard this before. This album might become my new go-to when I want to get a lot of things done in a day. Because listening to this 55 minute album felt like 4 hours. Forgettable.
I've heard heard people call Billie Eilish boring. They've clearly never listened to a Bjork album. Boy I can't wait for the next one...
I'd rather have vinegar pour into a wound than listen to that again. 1 star
Awful.
What a pile of garbage. I can’t imagine the mood or venue where someone would choose to listen to this.
Give me nails on a chalkboard next time...
Too far out for me
IRRITATING VOICE Deliberately irritating tracks Couldnt finish Wish I could give it -3
What an absolute waste of my time. I could have baked a pan of brownies, read multiple chapters of a book, or watched a full episode of the sopranos instead of listening to this. There was only one moment in the album that was actually enjoyable, the rest was artsy nothingness. I hate her voice and I hate the instrumentals. Spare me any more of this, please. I’m supposed to be getting culture, not wasting an hour of my day listening to an indie girls voice cracking when she tries to sing high notes. I’m going to score this very low mainly because it put me in a bad mood. Best track: The ending of “Undo”
Sehr abstrakte Musik. Man könnte fast schon von Klangwelten sprechen oder Kunst. Für mich ist das nichts.
that was weird af
I gave it a shot, but it was a struggle to get through this album.
Björk on outo. Ei avautunut, eikä varmaan koskaan avaudu. Ei se silti tuskaa ollut, mutta en heti ote uudelleen kuunteluun.
Maybe I'm not intellectual enough or artsy enough to understand Bjork. She has a good voice, don't get me wrong. But that voice is only good when she tries. Bjork maintains a very wispy type of singing voice throughout the record. Definitely not something I'm into.
To quote Ebert, I hated, hated, hated this [album]. I gave up halfway through. Obnoxious instrumentals, obnoxious voice.
absolutely not
Did not like this at all
Kots
I am really not a fan of Bjork music.
This is the most awful, whiny, waffle music I’ve ever heard. It’s like a seal became a woman and starting “oh-oh”-ing over a badly put together track on garage band.
I mean this didn't offend me but just didn't get it and as far as I am concerned, not very good.
Imagine if you gave the weird girl in school a recording device and left her alone for an hour. This is what you’d hear.
I can appreciate the lo-fi electronic beats, but it’d take a lot for my to start spinning Bjork frequently.
Seemed too much like asmr to me
Not for me. Boring.
I guess that swan was wrapped too tightly around her neck. I'm sure that she was trying for ethereal in these songs, but it ended up just sounding monotonous and like a drunken voicemail from an ex.
I’d rather listen to pigs yodel
No
Not my taste, the music isn’t bad but I can’t really stand her voice for long
I think Björk is the reason we have so many airy breathy female artists today and I’ll never forgive her for it.
Yeah, nah. I can’t get into bjork and her strange way of signing. Couldn’t finish this album.
Not for me. Icelandic frost.
Not my kind of music…
ehh it's nice and smooth but too slow tempo for me
Did not hit, frustrating vibes at work, bluegrass bbq eh, feeling ~wobbly~
Nah
Una m
Just cant get into Bjork
I just do not get Björk. It is just not my thing in anyway.
1. Hidden Place: Goes on too long for me with too little variation in musical elements or lyrics. 2. Cocoon: I can't really get into it... 9. Sun in My Mouth: I think because I can't distinguish different moods between tracks, I can't identify any themes or feelings that I connect with.
Listened to on 4/4/22 1/5 Favorite song: no I didn’t like a single thing about this album and would love to never hear it again - the weird noises and electronic pop was just not it
4/4/22 This album is the musical equivalent to me looking at some random object in a modern art museum and trying to figure out how this is art. I would like the album much more if I could take her vocals out because the actual sound itself is very chill-hop/rhythmic relaxing vibes. She just a bit too out there for me. I had to skip multiple songs because I just couldn’t do it. This album gave me a headache. I bet this album is amazing if you’re high Favorite song: Hidden Place
I don’t really like Bjork
Not another Bjork
Weird. Why does Bjork feature on this list so much. I almost fell asleep.
Thought of Sia as I listened. But definitely love Sia more. Not an electronic fan
Unlistenable. F
A masterpiece if you like songs that you can’t differentiate from one another. A bore.
no
Was listening to this one in my car with my daughter. I think my review will just quote her: "Dad, you could've died without listening to this album." Hard agree, it was terrible. I just don't get Björk
Too experimental for my tastes. Very difficult to get through. Absolutely hated some songs, the others were mediocre at most. Honestly, didn't think I would dislike it as much as I did.
There are no redeeming qualities to this album. It is awful. Do not listen.
Couldnt get through....sorry just not a Bjork fan!!
Bkorl madness.
There aren't many small country representations on this list. Unfortunately if we were to celebrate each small countries music this list would be huge. I did find some songs amusing but in general many songs blend together. Does this really need to be on this list?
Shite
As always - garbage
Vesperate
Definitely not for me. 1/5 stars.
I will never understand her music. Just utter garbage. Remember: Just because someone tries really hard at their craft doesn't mean its good. 1/10.
Not for me. Got through 2 songs and bailed
different... painful to listen to

Seit Jahrzehnten ein Rätsel, wie diese ätherische Kunst so beliebt bei Kritik und Fans ist. Ich setze mich jedes Mal aufs Neue hin und bin gewillt, meine jugendliche Meinung über the world‘s most overrated artist über Bord zu werfen, aber dann ist’s was es ist: ätherisch im Sinne von, dass nix, kein Fitzelchen, nada haften bleibt, außer beliebig/artistisch in den Himmel geschossene Vocal Nebelkerzen, die über einem sanft gekräuselten Ozean aus generischer Elektronica vor sich hin schillern. For the long con: 1.0
El fenómeno Björk siempre me pareció algo más relacionado con la estética de las artes plásticas que con la música. Escucho este disco y me reafirmo en mi impresión, lo que más me gusta es la portada.
not a fan of her style
Ni lo intento.
I find this whole album just impenetrable. I don’t really get who it’s for, is it for dancing or singing or just to make you feel like you don’t understand what music is?
Couldn't find a song I enjoyed.
Wasn’t a fan. It sounded like the artist was very close to something special here, but none of the songs quite found their footing. I may never listen to this album again
Not for me.
Just not my thing.
Love that back and forth that Chuck and Flava have. Chuck's rhyming style and voice are immediately recognisable. The tracks definitely aren't sparse, not that that's an issue. It serves to reinforce the social commentary. Love the bass on 911 is a joke.
No thank you, this is not for me!
