Rank Bjork's Albums

Telegram is a remix collection, based on "Post" (gettit?)

In my drawer here is Debut, a dual sided disc with DVD content. 5.1 mix and a bunch of vids.

VESPERTINE
(big gap)
HOMOGENIC
MEDULLA
POST
VOLTA/SELMA
DEBUT

New one leaked. Wasn't really feeling it at first, but the second half is surprisingly strong.

She keeps repeating that trick in "Crystalline" where the tinkly, xylophone/celeste/harpsichord whimsy gets crashed by industrial beats, but it seems to work better in "Sacrifice" and "Mutual Core."

(I guess that trick sort of dates back to "Hyper-Ballad.")

AAAAHHH I HAVE TO HEAR THIS NOW

as usual, i have no idea which bjork thread to revive. but this is really good writing on bjork, i think: http://thequietus.com/articles/23621-bjork-best-albums

also, since the thread hasn't been revived since 2011, i'm curious how bjork fans rate vulnicura and utopia among her other work.

Homogenic
Vespertine
Post
Vulnicura
Debut
Medulla
Biophilia
Utopia
Volta

i am the worst bjork fan ever, but i have approximately 0% recollection of biophilia

replace but with and

vulnicura took a little while to grow on me - i usually tend to gravitate to her more 'active' material, but vulnicura is great sink-into-able material from front to back, and better than she's done that kind of stuff on any of her earlier records. watched the videos for utopia but haven't gotten around to it yet apart from those

i haven't listened to a few of these completely in a while, and i'm generally pretty amenable to most of what björk does, but (very) rough ranking off the top of my head:
homogenic
vulnicura / debut
post / volta / vespertine / medulla / biophilia

rank em

Homogenic > Vespertine > Telegram > Post > Debut > Medulla > Selmasongs > Utopia > Vulnicura > Volta > Biophilia > Drawing Restraint 9

Vulnicura was a welcome return to form for me when released, it seemed to revisit the harsher distorted beats of Homogenic and was a little more accessible emotionally. Utopia was also a nice surprise, the arrangements are gorgeous on this and it's really a record to live in. Also there's some good melodic vocal hooks, which it seems have become less frequent on recent Bjork albums
