Free Music Notes for Volta
Free Music Review: Voltage
Hit: 3 Stars
Be it not for the little slices of heaven on this LP:
"Declare Independence"
"Earth Intruders"
this collection would be refuse.
Timbaland is a joke. I don't like the way Bj?rk has travelled here.
Be it not for her voice, and the two tunes mentioned, this LP would receive 1 star.
I still love you Ms. Gudmunsdottir, and I look forward to meeting you again, on your next adventure.
Free Music Review: play a volta!
Hit: 4 Stars
i have always enjoyed bjork for what she gives to the world through her music. i don't ever want to take her too seriously or overanalyze her. i'm sure she doesn't enjoy that either.
i appreciate her encounters with timbaland, particularly 'innocence'. that song is a lot of fun and i can't wait for the remixes to start spinning at the clubs. it's going to make for some great, saucy dancing!
i also got a huge rise out of the song 'vertebrae by vertebrae'. the insistent stamping and those accents on the second beat are delicious!
Free Music Review: Typical Bjork
Hit: 3 Stars
I didn't like the duets as they don't have the power of Bjork's other songs. Bkork's songs are strange and moving.Free Music Review: Bjork's Best Album Since Post
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the one artist that never ceases to amaze with her originality, creativity and constant experimentation.
Earth Intruders certainly has a killer beat but the real gem here is Declare Independence, an ode to speaking up for your own rights. What makes this song so amazing is the thunderous electro beat that keeps building along with Bjork vocals to finally reach a screeching point that could not be a better representation of the anger that one feels with political apathy in today's society (I guess that is my take on this).
Also not to be missed, the equally brilliant "Innocence". Both songs have been released with some amazing cutting edge remixes but the album mixes are just as brilliant. Bjork remains the one and true original artist of the past 20 years (yeah, the first Sugarcubes album came out 20 years ago)
Be warned though, if you expect an acoustic album similar to Medulla, then this is definetely not the one. The heavy experimental electronic sounds are closer to the remixes that Bjork released from her brilliant Homogeneous album. And yes, you will either love her or hater her, there is no middle ground here.
Free Music Review: Not her best, but good
Hit: 3 Stars
i would like to say first that i am a huge bjork fan. i was very excited when i first heard earth intruders, hoping the whole album will sound at least like it. in fact, NOT!
the highlights are only the first 4 songs. the others, mediocre. bjork, come on, you can do so much better, make another vespertine or medulla!!
