Björk Guðmundsdóttir is many things. She is a songwriter, she is a singer. She is a cartoonish waif of a woman with piercing, glass-shattering vocal chords. But anybody can be outrageous. Where Björk truly shines is in her talent. She exudes ...
Pros: Refreshingly different, unusual and awesome. Cons: Why didn't I meet her sooner?
I had been in singer relationships before. I still remember my first love Deborah Harry of Blondie. I loved the way she could scream out a tune. In the 80s of course it was Pat Benatar and then Madonna. During the 90s there was a whole lot of women I ...
Pros: Timeless. Ground-breaking. Björk's songwriting and singing skills. Cons: Some songs are slightly better than others.
= I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you Safe up here with you… = Björk is considered to be a lot of things: a ...
Pros: Not a "bad" song on the whole thing. Cons: It's a bit of a mixed bag.
Whether she’s wearing an ugly dress with a swan on it, or beating the s h i t out of some unsuspecting reporter, Björk is cool. Not just because she’s from Iceland – but because in regards to electronic/dance/pop music – there is...
Pros: Pop music of a sort which had never before existed. Cons: Difficult to characterise…as if that were a liability!
There are certain circles in which the name of Donna Haraway is utterly unavoidable, but – as is often the case with such figures – she’s more or less unknown outside of those rather Rosicrucian sub-societies (certainly, the people within...
Pros: A Brilliant & Angelic Masterpiece from Bjork. Cons: None.
Since Icelandic singer Bjork left the Alterna-pop group the Sugarcubes in the early 1990s, some wondered if she was going to sustain a successful solo career. All those doubts were squashed when her 1993 debut release “Debut” was widely...
Pros: Takes chances that other women wouldn't and succeeds. Cons: A bit too mellow on the last 2 tracks.
While I had known of Bjork for awhile, it wasn't until she did a duet with my favorite band's singer (Thom Yorke of Radiohead, on the Dancer In The Dark soundtrack) that I was intrigued. After reading some reviews online, I got the album from the library...
Pros: Oh, it's all just lovely Cons: Bjork's personality takes a little getting-used-to
The musically clueless know Bjork only as that eccentric singer who showed up in the swan dress at the Academy Awards - but over the course of her career, from the timeless dance hits of "Debut" to the organic beats of "Vespertine", it's become increasing ...
Who hasn't heard of Bjork by now? She's an Icelandic pixie with a personality that can only be described as "eccentric". She's known to fight reporters, have a bomb mailed to her by a psychotic fan, wear swan dresses, and star in the movie Dancer In The ...
Listening to “Hidden Place” on Borders’ in-store preview headphones, I was transfixed. Here was music that could have easily been played backwards and still sound like a legitimate tune, sung by a freaky Icelandic voice that sounded like Yoko Ono. The...
Pros: Music Style, Melody, Icelandic, Lyric, "Army of Me", Vocal Cons: Make Fun of Her Lyrics
Bjork is originally from Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. She is totally incredible. In fact her style of music does not age, a melodic style that is impossible to label. She is a rare, vivid, and colorful. As an artist, she almost likes an entity of ...
Pros: A Schizophrenic, mixed bag of sound...
Cons: None that I can think of...
With Bjork’s sophomore release, Post , our little Icelandic beauty decided to be a bit more true to her eccentricities in music and gave us a mish-mash bag of musical goodies. Surprisingly, it managed to be Bjork’s most ...
Pros: Emotional, better than Debut, nearly every song is fantastic. Björk’s vocals and lyrics shine. Cons: Some strange material may turn some off, a few very quiet tracks.
After greatly enjoying Björk’s Debut I was excited, and more than ready to hear what many claim to be this artist's masterpiece. I read many very positive reviews, and not a single negative. My hopes were set high, and upon first listen I was ...
Pros: Bjork drops a trip-hopping, techno-loving club album Cons: the album could use a few catchy hooks
I must admit I cannot really get into Bjork’s music. I can appreciate what she does and the experiments she takes, but it doesn’t always sink in with me. That is true with some of her 1995 album Post. Maybe I need to listen to it a few ...
Pros: Emotional. Eclectic. Daring. Intelligent electronic pop music. Cons: A few "difficult" tracks to get into.
When you've made one of the best electronic pop albums ever on you're DEBUT effort, how is it possible to follow it up? Bjork didn't fail to dazzle fans or critics with her amazing sophomore album, Post. No second album jinx here. Just imaginative, ...
