Bjork - Fossora

Release Date:  September 30th, 2022

Bjork is an acquired taste, and I can appreciated that. When I started paying attention to music websites, i remember seeing news about Bjork calling out journalist for discrediting her work because people were too lazy to check the credit list. And so, I've always had a bit of respect for her work, but I gotta be real, what the fuck is this?

Review:  This is her tenth album and I have no idea if this is a good starting point or not. I already tried listening to the song "venus as a boy" and "hyperballad" and I kind of struggled my shoulders because they didn't convert me. I did like "It's Oh So Quiet."

As for the album, maybe I need to listen to this 20 more times, but just from two full listens, like yeah, i can appreciate the instruments, but Bjork always sounds like she is very cold and singing in an icebox shivering or something. And another thing, it feels like her vocals don't match with the music like she has no rhythm or sense of timing. I'm not saying all music should have those qualities, that's probably a big reason why Bjork is beloved. But for me, as of this moment, her music doesn't click for me. Give me something that's catchy.

Summary:  I know what bjork sounds like and this album didn't change my mind.
