I think Vulnicura is cute! Stonemilker and History of Touches are so great and career highlights but I find some of the vocal mixing on the album similar to my problems with Utopia. Idk Vulnicura never hit that hard for me and my first Björk era as a stan was Biophilia so… I firmly believe it can sit in the lower half of the album rankings. Somewhere between 6-9th best!

marty_xcx Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 really not saying anything new bc these seem to be the popular top 3 around here but: homogenic, vespertine, medulla - but in no particular order bc it changes for me constantly depending on the season/my mood.

SixWholeYears Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) my top 3 Homogenic Vespertine Post I love how everyone overlooks Debut and Post but they are actually super strong and her most sonically diverse albums.

I'd put Debut 4th in my personal ranking. It's pretty much perfect as an introduction to her as an artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't list it in my top three but it's actually my personal favorite and has the most tracks on my main Björk playlist I feel that it's not often considered one of her "greatest," in that it's not the same monolithic and singular achievement that her records from Post through Medúlla were, but it's so visceral and raw in its emotions, and so beautiful in its arrangements. Stonemilker is just flat-out incredible, and the rest of the album doesn't ever fall far below. I'm usually going to be springing for Vulnicura if I'm going to listen to her, and usually with a special focus on Stonemilker, Lionsong, and Quicksand. I think the darkness of it is what makes it truly great, the place it comes from. Stonemilker and the following tracks resonate deeply with me because I've been there; I've been on that side of a relationship with someone who feels closed off, distant, and emotionally unyielding where they didn't at first. I just wonder whether that personal connection clouds my judgment and makes me think of it as better than it really is - but maybe that doesn't matter. Also, until literally days ago, the original album had never truly clicked with me like Vulnicura Strings did, so I'm still navigating my own feelings about it. Perhaps, for me at least, the reputation of some of her earlier works kind of sucks up all the air in the room when trying to make a top three - what are we even ranking? Our personal favorites? Some objective-leaning "best?" "Greatest" in both quality and ambition/vision? tl;dr yeah Vulnicura is a moment and deserves special recognition in the Björk canon imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only heard Björk's discography until 'Vespertine' (which I adore), but I'm willing to continue the journey soon, it's just that she isn't just like other artists, to me, I need to be prepare/be in the mood to enjoy her. When you're into it, it's phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're into it, it's phenomenal. I'm definitely a ride or die Taylor fan always, but I came to Björk in a bit of a weird time and place that has made me bond with her music in a very different way. I didn't get deep into anything from Björk's discography until 2020, in the middle of the first huge wave of pandemic lockdowns while struggling with sudden bleak isolation and a horrific employment situation (on-call responsibilities that ****** hard with my sleep schedule and anxiety). I let myself wander away into the worlds of Post, Homogenic, and Vespertine at that time and just get lost and not think about the world - I even posted a bit about it in her base back then, I think. I enjoy writing from time to time, so I experimented a bit with seeing how those records influenced my own creativity. Since then my interest in her work has waxed and waned in waves, but it was this last week in preparation for Fossora that I finally just said "**** it" and played some of the "scarier" albums I'd avoided from start to finish. It changed my perspective entirely - Medúlla has maybe literally changed my life and Vulnicura, already an emotional release in its Strings form for me, has become my greatest catharsis and emotional outlet for things I otherwise have a hard time expressing. I'm in the middle of falling in love with a discography in a way I've never experienced before. It's so beautiful, not in spite of all the knots and cracks that separate it from the very calculated pop I'm used to, but because of them.
