While I can appreciate Björk as an artist, I can't say this album did much for me. A few of the songs were interesting, but it felt like it belonged more as background music for a film or something - not great listening on its own. I ended up skipping the last two songs because they were just a little grating.
I can appreciate the musicianship here, but this album wasn't really for me.
Nice, relaxing and feel-good.
Liked a few of them, but wasn't a huge fan of the rest. Vocals were a little bit whiney for my tastes, but I can appreciate why this album is well-regarded.

Aside from "The Suburbs", this was surprisingly boring to me. I liked their other album "Funeral" more. I actually didn't manage to finish this one because I just really wanted to listen to something else instead...
Alright album. Reading his Wikipedia page gave some interesting context to it. Gentle enough to be decent background music but could potentially put you to sleep. Favorite track: Free Ride Album art: 4/5
I generally am a fan of this kind of older jazzy/big band/instrumental stuff, so this was a pretty cool album to listen to. It was very energetic but almost a little too much for me at times - "Frenzy" reminded me of the sensation of having drank too much coffee. Maybe that was the point! Overall enjoyed this one, but some of the brass sounds were a little harsh for me. Favorite track(s): None stuck out Album art: 3.5/5
This one didn't really impress me much, but it was easy listening.
Enjoyed this one, though it did run a bit long.
Some good songs in here and I definitely like their sound. That said, a lot of the songs sound a bit samey.

This was... really something. It gets two stars for being vaguely musical. Loved the creepy/weird album artwork.
Groovy!
Meh. A gentle sound that wasn't too annoying in the background but it felt kind of pretentious.
I was not expecting to like this as much as I did! Not normally into jazz but something about her sound was very groovy to me.
The first few songs on this album were pleasant and not what I was expecting. Towards the end though it started to get more of that random musical freestyle stuff that is cool but not really something I want to have on for 11-18 minutes at a time...
This is a pretty solid album, but didn't wow me too much. None of the songs really tickled me, but they have a good sound for sure.
Liked this one quite a bit! They are kind of nostalgic for me, and 1979 is one of my favorite songs. Recognized a few others, and even found a few new ones to add to my library! Cool album art too.
I was not sure what to expect going into this, but I was pleasantly surprised! It had a gentle sound but the titles and lyrics seemed just a tad unhinged, which was a fascinating combo. Not sure if I will return to this artist on my own, but it was an interesting and pleasant listen.
This was groovy and had a nice sound! Might return to it.
I was looking forward to this one for some reason, but it disappointed me. Kind of boring - not unpleasant but didn't interest me as much as I expected.
I wasn't sure if I would like this one going into it, but it was actually pretty nice. Absolutely gave 80s movie vibes.
