Vespertine (Bjork)

Bjork is brilliant at everything she does, this album does not disappoint. Always true to her creativity, giving from where she is and what she is experiencing so that we are privy to the inner worlds of her mind and spirit. Only if you have the imagination to venture where her voice, music, and lyrics takes you...will you have profound in-depth journeys that are rare these days. Thank you Bjork!

This CD is brilliant. Now I HATED Homogenic with a passion but this CD is damn near perfect. I don't get the negative reviews. Strange. Anyway, if you like Debut or Post your gonna like it, I guarantee.

One of the most beautiful Bjork albums. Sometimes an album represents a season, and this one is all about winter for me.

JESUS I think no one could do any album-masterpiece like this one! Contains emotional songs , beautiful songs , songs that reminds you of nature , snow , etc.... In my opinion , the best 2 songs are : PAGAN POETRY and A STAIN .... :) they rock! The only weak moment of the album is when the INTERLUDE FROSTY is on , but the rest it's cool! All MUSIC-LOVERS must have Bjork's albums like this BUY IT!

It's sixty degrees outside. Why is it sixty degrees outside? I live in Chicago for Christ's sake. It's January. It should be sixty degrees lower than it is. Although I suppose I shouldn't complain about not being miserable every time I leave my house. But something about listening to Bjork's Vespertine makes me feel like it SHOULD be cold, and snowing. Vespertine is as much a work of art as it is a force of nature, a call to the skies for snow, a summoning of a white blanket. This is not Bjork's best album. Homogenic will most likely never be ousted from that position. But it is certainly the second greatest, and the most consistently themed, a chilling representation of Winter. This album makes the season of death come to life. Songs are blanketed in steady, warm, electronic beats and subsequently dressed up in soaring vocal harmonies and strings. Hidden Place kicks things off with a call to the unknown, represented by a mysterious melody that climbs and gently cascades back down a ch... Read more

What the hell is she saying?

I cant give bjork enough credit really. Every one of her albums has been amazing. Crusty electronic beats, strange glacial melodies and that voice, soaring gently over the top of it all, twisting and turning every which way. Three thumbs up to Bjork! Oh and just to say what really annoys me are these singer these days, claiming to be 'independent women' when they dont write any of the music or words, are little more then record industry slaves and are simply marketed to idiots who believe that this is what an independent women is all about. Well they should listen to the likes of Bjork, tori amos, Janis Joplin and Patti Smith to find out what an actual talented women can do. There are lots of them, unfortunately people who are willing to sell their bodies for money will be the ones in the public eye. What ever happened to feminism!

bjork is a musical genius who has been winning accolades since age 12. anyone who can't appreciate this or any of her cd's just doesn't get it.

Easily the best electronic album out this year.
