It’s been fun to see this generation getting acquainted with the Bjork albums that shaped my adolescence 20 years ago. God, I’m starting to feel old though! Lol
Bachelorette is a tango - which in itself makes it absolutely wicked. With most of these Bjork tunes she'll release alternate lyrics on different releases. Some of the bachelorette mixes have different verses. I am jealous of anyone just discovering Bjork and her world.
just subbed to you today because of your post reaction! homogenic is definitely my favorite björk album (and her best imo). can't wait to see you react to the rest of her discography :)
A journey through the Radiohead discography after this is absolutely obligatory. It’s the most consistent discography of all time, and an essential one to have heard for a music nerd. It also tends to pull a lot of views and help reaction channels build a following ;)
All is full of love when I watch you listening to Björk's discography. 🥺 The next one is my favourite, so I can't wait to see you again and to witness how much your hair grows until you react to the last one. Good job! 😁
This was her electronic explosion I feel, I love how she incorporates strings so well with it though. All neon like almost always makes me emotional, and all is full of love too, the lyrics are so comforting… btw your new haircut is distracting because you look cuter than usual… also, no matter how much people contextualize it, I will never like this album art haha
there are a lot of emotional songwriting sides on this album that I really love while she doesn't do that all the tracklist along haha :) haha I know that's always when I get a new haircut after months :D
the deep meaning of this fabolous string of songs is what makes her to be a goddes of music. How she goes up and down, and go to the top of a mountain and then to the deepest ocean to get calm and meditate about what's going on.
Whoop glad when the alert appeared for this. Also been checking out some of your other reactions. This album was a big change for Björk. People expected more pop and trip hop like Post but she was longing for new things by then. After being in the big cities like London which inspired Post she longed for Iceland and the beats of the land there - Jogá’s beats were recorded from bubbling holes in the ground - true! I love the album cover. It borrowed from cultures showing women in restraint - Japanese subservient kimono wearer, African neck rings, nail like weapons to keep you away but at the same time convey emotion after the bubbly adventures of the city in Post. This album really was a gamble at the time. Who tf would do strings after a pop trip hop album? I remember buying the CD and putting it on… never heard anything like it. I enjoyed your reaction. Especially Jogá and Pluto
"I thought I could organize freedom / How Scandinavian of me" is one of her greatest, most memorable lyrics... and you cut it out. Not Scandinavian, but they are known for their orderly minimalism. Her magnum opus for sure. Not a skippable song on Homogenic (1997). Selmasongs (2000; Soundtrack) comes next followed by the other greatest Bjork album, Vespertine (2001). What an incredible three album stretch from Bjork. Her classic period (1993-2001) will remain my favorite. Fossora (2022) is a great comeback though. She's still got it.
Oh yea sorry for cutting that one out while still talking about it how i thought I don‘t know anything avout scandinavian culture politics or whatever but I get this!
@@luggareviews Glad you enjoyed Bachelorette. It was originally intended for a film and is part of a thematic trilogy with Isobel from Post and Human Behavior from Debut. The surrealist music video is one of Bjork's best and is directed by her frequent collaborator, Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).
Definitely my favorite album of hers, and great review! I completely agree with you that Alarm Call sounds like it doesn’t belong on this album. It’s a great song, but I’ve always been a bit confused by its inclusion here. Anyway, can’t wait to keep watching this series, keep up the great work!
It’s really comforting to see someone discovering her work in one go :) and loving it. I was experiencing her albums in real time as they were coming out. She was that one artist whose music was the background soundscape of my life.
This is from 1997!!!! If you research this album it has been so influential on contemporary production. Also, it was inspired by hip hop and then hip hop got inspired by the album. It still sounds so new and fresh. I doubt it will age, it was new at the time and remains new.
The problem when you pause is that you cut some of the built, i know you dont want to forget what you want to say but maybe rewind 10 seconds when you play back ?
Sorry, yeah it would be good 👍🏻 It’s quite frustrating to watch when you know what’s coming in the track haha like we really want to see your reaction to “that specific moment” otherwise nice review ! Thanks
@@HoShIfox19 ah yeah I get what you mean :DD I watch some reactions myself so I really know what you mean, next time I will skip back 10 secs to not miss anything!
@@HoShIfox19 I can't wait either. Vespertine is such a beautiful album and I'm sad I wasn't aware of it until a few years after it came out. It would've been so cool to see that tour... Not that I had the money as a high schooler lol
really liked your reaction to this one . . . you felt really focused on the sound weaving and construction . also , " Life is a Toillet " would be a great track !
Als nächstes unbedingt in die musikalischen Welten von Joanna Newsom tauchen... sehr spezielle Stimme, an die man sich erst gewöhnen muss... Lyrisch und musikalisch gesehen ein Muss...! (Radiohead, Einstürzende Neubauten, Julia Holter, Death Grips... Fänd ich auch super!)
new subscriber here! I watched your fossora reaction when it came out, but I didn't realize that you are doing the entire Björk discography. What an amazing journey that you have, I wish I could listen her for the first time again 💘 Great reactions btw, it really feels that you're enjoying the music and trying to understand it at the same time, some reactors don't leave space for their own experience 🖤
hi! thank you for watching my reviews even after fossora :D I will do her whole discography and every little music she has put out haha, I am having a lot of fun right now doing this and I am always just enjoing listening to some new exciting music :)
@@luggareviews when you say whole discography, I've got to say... omg you kids didn't know about singles, sometimes they were 40 minutes long in the 90s. It's too much! But there's some neat shit if you want to check out some of the B-sides and guest vocals she's done too, some of it's really lovely! but there are millions of them so here's my quick list: Debut: I Remember You which is from the same session as Like Someone In Love. There are some early scraps and flute solos if you really want to poke around. Post: Visur-Vatnsenda Rosu (an Icelandic traditional song written by one of her female ancestors and she sings it like a hymn, basically like nothing else she's ever sung) and a guest spot for Plaid called Lilith which is a hoot, and she does a heavy metal screamo rework of Army of Me with Skunk Anansie that I've always thought was hysterical. Homogenic gives us the beautiful "So Broken", the odd "My Snare/Nature Is Ancient" and the bonkers "Sod Off" Vespertine is absolutely loaded with weirdly high quality extra tracks: Generous Palmstroke, Verandi, Mother Heroic, Foot Soldier, Domestica, and Amphibian. Plus there's a set of 10 Brodksy Quartet string reworks on the Family Tree album, though I'd just say give Hyperballad a look for a taste
@@storageheater thank you very much for this very detailed list! It's just always a question of if I do a video for it and put extra work in it or if I just listen to it myself. In the past I listened to live shows, live albums, b-sides and scraps etc., for myself without doing a video for it. So I will defintely check your stuff out right here :). Thank you again!
@@luggareviews oh! I forgot Charlene and I Go Humble from Post, and the jolly Karvel. And a filthy duet with Steve Coogan called "Short Term Affair" which is criminally overlooked. Her remixes are sometimes interesting too, once she gets past the house diva stage od Debut (which appears to have been somewhat of a compromise with her record label anyway) - Talvin Singh, who arranged the strings on Venus As A Boy and also toured with her, gets her to redo the vocals of Possibly Maybe in an Indian style (the Calcutta Cybercafe mix.) Similarly Plaid, who toured with her for the electronic bits, got the chance to remake and update creaky old Big Time Sensuality in a really lovely way (based off the unplugged version rather than the album version.) There's some fascinating names (and ex boyfriends, and old Sugarcubes members) involved (even if the results aren't *that* special), and quite often it's coming from people she's just worked on the album with, so you get the sense it's really free-flowing and collaborative when she tours and creates. In later years there's a really clear distinction between "albums she's composed as a closed, personal set" and "albums she's wanted everyone to play around with" and I've just always loved how much of her wasn't centred on the album itself. ANYWAY. good luck, have fun lol

Selmasongs (2000) then Vespertine (2001).

thank you for your sub and watching my videos :)
Love it!!! Can't wait to Vespertine ✨ (5 years is my favorite song of this álbum, masterpiece ✨)

Radiohead discography is a must. It's gonna be a long, weird and beautiful journey !

Great Album. You, sir, have fans with a very great taste
that's true, there are many very good recommendations that are coming in every day, it's fun! :D
Bachelorette was the first björk song actually the first "non-normie" song I ever heard and since then I've been in love with her!
the deep meaning of this fabolous string of songs is what makes her to be a goddes of music. How she goes up and down, and go to the top of a mountain and then to the deepest ocean to get calm and meditate about what's going on.
You should check the Single Edit version of "All is full of love", the Guy Sigsworth version I believe. And the video is one of the best of all time.
late addition: the mv version of alarm call is also different!
Whoop glad when the alert appeared for this. Also been checking out some of your other reactions.

There is little left for Vespertine and Vulnicura my favorite albums along with Homogenic🎉🎉🎉🎉
Vulnicura Strings is even better than Vulnicura, IMHO.

Yeah it’s still also weird for me while it is a cool track though :D
Thank you for watching! :)
I skip this song regularly 😐
The Björk buns look great atop your head!
It’s really comforting to see someone discovering her work in one go :) and loving it.
I was experiencing her albums in real time as they were coming out. She was that one artist whose music was the background soundscape of my life.
Seeing all her albums evolve and seeing björk growing as an artist must have been great!
Excited how it all grew together until it reaches Fossora :)
@@luggareviews enjoy the journey! The next one, Vespertine, is one of the very best in my opinion
One of my favorite albums of all time, awesome analysis too, you have great attention to detail
I'm surprised no one mentioned it in the comments, but if you like Bachelorette, you should really check out the video 🤐
Edit: it had been mentioned 😒

Pluto prefigures today's hyperpop, brilliant
Oh yeah I see that too

But I'ts Oh So Quiet is not Bjork's song. It is a cover actually. Originally this song belongs to Betty Hutton
Love this album though there are a couple I skip. Pluto starts out wonderfully but then her vocals grate on my nerves a few minutes in 😬
Have you done any Dimash,Aurora,Radiohead,Loreena Mckennitt ?I love what I've seen so far.I like that you are calm and composed.
Selma Songs next pleaseeee
I will do Selma Songs don't worry :D
This is my favorite album by Bjork, and Unravel is my favorite song. I play it with my guitar.
