Can't she just release on another download platform for the peoples?

[Guest]

is there an instrumental version?

[Ivan Ooze]

oh fuck, how's it like??

[doublename]

Damn, for years I used to get unwanted iTunes gift cards for bdays/xmas, now nada.

 

edit: Seems to only be on the UK store. Oh well...

[dr lopez]

[Poimandres]

Yeah... this release is okay, but a bit too "plodding" and samey for my tastes. I haven't been fully satisfied with a Bjork release since Homogenic. This is probably her strongest since Verspertine, but given the collaborators I was hoping for something with a bit more bite.

[Guest trananhhung]

I think it's just her voice that annoys me by this point. she justs wanders around with no real purpose through the songs. Maybe it's just nostalgic impressions but she sounded so much focused during the 90s. String arrangements and arca makes up for her.

[Guest Chesney]

Just started listening to it now.

[Guest trananhhung]

A track like family sounds so sparse that I loose all attention. Oh, something happened. Let's see where this goes.

 

Oh, Arca kick drums and string ensembles. Back to sparse zone.

 

I'll listen to this album 3 or 4 times more. Just like with everything post homogenic.

[Guest Chesney]

I do know what you're saying but you should probably expect that things begin to become clearer with familiarity. Every great album is a slow burner. Instant albums die out and sound old or even cheesy after you have devoured it for a time.

Not saying that this could be a classic like Homogenic or Post but there is no way i'm dismissing it on first listen.

I even was a little underwhelmed by Homogenic after Post and the only standout was Bachlorette. Obviously things changed the more I listened and it's in my top 10 all time, probably.

[Guest trananhhung]

You may be right. :)

[Guest Chesney]

I hope so, ha

 

regardless, I'm still in love with her.

[Guest trananhhung]

Oh no. The Antony track. He annoys me as much as her now. I can't stand all this melodramatic crescendos.

[Guest trananhhung]

Mouth mantra is cool but still sounds like an arca remix of bjork track. It's like there's her and the strings and then the electronics. Like two worlds apart. But maybe they were going for that.

[Guest trananhhung]

Will get 7.7 from pitchfork

[Guest trananhhung]

Best track is the last one And there's no arca in it.

 

Now listening to the new Aphex EP for the first time.

 

breakbeat metal music!

I think it's just her voice that annoys me by this point. she justs wanders around with no real purpose through the songs. Maybe it's just nostalgic impressions but she sounded so much focused during the 90s. String arrangements and arca makes up for her.

 

yeah I have the same impression. Its like she just picks songs she likes and improvises instead of the tight clear production she became famous with

[Guest trananhhung]

2nd listen. It's sooo boring. :(

[Guest trananhhung]

Had to go back to Aphex. Can't deal with it.

[Guest trananhhung]

...

[Avarik]

The bleep preorder should include an instant download

[Perezvon]

Disappointing... Feels like it doesn't go anywhere.

given the collaborators I was hoping for something with a bit more bite.

[may be rude]

digging it
