Vespertine by Bjork: The heart and soul of a modern genius

Mon, 11 Jun 2007 07:30:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wittypseudonym - Vespertine is Bjork's most original album yet. Many say that Medulla and Drawing Restraint 9 (the 2 albums consecutively after Vespertine) are the most adventurous, and perhaps they are, but they easily fall into the avant-garde movement. Vespertine...

Vespertine by Bjork: Fragile and Subtle, but Beautiful

Sat, 16 Dec 2006 09:54:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author floatingcity - If “Homogenic” was the furious cry of a woman scorned, “Vespertine” is the blissful song of a woman fulfilled. The harsh, bitter electronics of Bjork's previous album have gone, to be replaced by much gentler instrumentation in the form...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shopaholic_man - No, it's not just a catchy title, both musically and literally Bjork is naked on the dual disc release Vespertine (___Surrounded). I was pleased to get this fourth official album from Bjork in her Bjork Box, a box of seven studio albums all in...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author allneondude - Bjork’s fourth studio album entitled Vespertine dropped back in 2001.Bjork came a bit different with this album (when doesn’t she come different?) and used beats and sounds that could be produced by the sounds of average...

Vespertine by Bjork: This Album Really Doesn't Need A Title

Wed, 30 Mar 2005 17:36:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nlawr54761 - 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...

Vespertine by Bjork: The Return of Celestia

Thu, 13 Jan 2005 00:30:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author the_reviewer13 - After charming us with the safe "Debut", and mesmerizing us with the beauty of "Post", and getting our attention with the pulsating "Homogenic", Bjork finally took the time to let herself and her fans, relax. This is the most ecclectic Bjork album,...

Sun, 2 Jan 2005 19:15:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ssteveszykk - *This review was originally written and posted over a year ago. This is virtually the same review as the original posted draft. Some problems forced me to repost the article. I decided long before my purchase of Björk's fourth solo release...

Vespertine by Bjork: The beautifullest, fragillest; still strong, dark, and divine.

Fri, 8 Oct 2004 11:07:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author moonwalker84 - I think whenever I listen to Vespertine, I'll be reminded of that particular phase in my teenage years. I was 13, desperately lonely and searching for love in the obscure, taking refuge in music. Somehow, the Bjork experience made it all better;...

Vespertine by Bjork: Björk: Still Strange, but also Sensual and Subdued

Tue, 29 Jun 2004 10:57:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - My discovery of Björk was just as strange and unconventional as her music. I heard Debut when it was released in 1993, but I really didn’t love Björk until I came to love the 1994 Luc Besson film The Professional (aka Léon). It was in that film that...

Vespertine by Bjork: Bjork's Calmer Side

Thu, 6 Nov 2003 01:02:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author deep137 - Björk’s album, Vespertine, may be considered the best solo record of her career. Although Björk may be better known for her infamous swan dress that she wore to the 2001 Oscars rather than for her unique musical style, this record distinguishes her as...

Tue, 18 Dec 2001 18:11:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thevoid99 -

Throughout her entire career with the Sugarcubes and as a solo act, Icelandic singer Bjork has immersed herself into one of the most unique female artists in the history of rock n’ roll. In 1997, her album “Homogenic” was hailed by many as a...

Vespertine by Bjork: Nocturnal Musings

Fri, 7 Dec 2001 15:11:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author e-kleptic - For some reason, every single Bjork album just seems like a naturally logical creative extension. From the conventional dance album "Debut" to the more eclectic electronica candyshop "Post", and then the baroque industrial-styled confrontations of...

Vespertine by Bjork: I had a recurring dream....and it was called "Vespertine".

Mon, 29 Oct 2001 20:45:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sweetrevenge - Bjork truly embodies the term "Artist". She rarely disappoints those looking for something new and fresh on each cd. This cd is in a virtual tie for best Bjork cd in my opinion (along with 'Post' and 'Homogenic'.

Each song of this cd...

Vespertine by Bjork: "There lies my passion hidden"

Tue, 16 Oct 2001 08:55:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nina26 - Bjork is branching out. Far from continuing in the direction of Homogenic, her follow-up fourth album Vespertine is its complete opposite. It is sensual where Homogenic was spiritual and disembodied, and very internally focused compared to Homogenic's...

Vespertine by Bjork: So, you want to hear music?

Wed, 10 Oct 2001 00:11:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author K_Energy - I lost track of how many times I've listened to the album in its entirety, but I think it's past 30 already.

It is indeed a rare feat when I am so enthralled by a CD. In fact, there is only one CD on earth that I currently hold in the same...

Vespertine by Bjork: Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit of Bjork

Thu, 20 Sep 2001 03:05:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jimbo_p - I normally listen to bands like Metallica, NIN, and Nirvana. You wouldn't think I would find any enjoyment in an artist like Bjork. But her music is original, Bjork is one of those artists that comes around only once or twice in your lifetime. An...

Vespertine by Bjork: That Swan Around Her Neck Must Be Chocking Her!

Tue, 18 Sep 2001 22:40:35 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lynus - From the woman who stood proudly in front of millions at the Academy Awards wearing a swan around her neck, comes her next album featuring her on the cover wearing a swan around her neck. Talk about sticking with what works!

Then again, it's...

Vespertine by Bjork: swirling black lilies totally ripe

Mon, 17 Sep 2001 22:30:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author seric26 - Bjork’s newest is both a departure and an affirmation, and you can see it right there on the cover. On the at-the-time shocking departure (into electronica) that was Debut she confronted us head-on, demanding our attention. Post repeated that frontal...

Vespertine by Bjork: Beauty in a minimal world

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Tonycolars -

Bjork's albums have been consistently gorgeous, every new one seems to be a step up (though Homogenic is still my favorite by a slight inch). After the emotionally draining, but excellent movie, Dancer in the Dark, Bjork brings an album that is...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dayvbrown - After a long and agonising wait Bjork’s fourth studio album (not including her incredible soundtrack for Dancer in the Dark) is finally in my grubby little hands and I am ever so happy it is. As an added surprise it was released two days early, so you...

The title of this, the new Bjork album, is in dispute, but it is very complete and available through black market sources, and I am the proud owner of a copy :-)

Anyone been following her since her Kukl, Tappi,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bloodflower - *** NOTE *** This record, which comes out in august, will actually be titled "domestika," not "vespertine." "vespertine is a track from the record, which features very bizarre vocal samples of bjork's voice slowed down and sped up over a very "plaid...
