Not all music is designed for bopping. This is something that I would sit down and appreciate as a whole work.

I can see that for other people. I think it’s the spoken word like vocal delivery that puts me off. It’s jarring for sure.

beautiful visuals but do people actually get into their car and put this on? I don’t understand the appeal beyond the visuals. 

I legit listened to it on full blast on my way to work this morning

Incredible.  Hoping there are similar bops throughout the album. I need a danceable era again

That's actually an old Icelandic singing technique. When the Danish conquered and took over Iceland, they banned singing and dancing for the Icelandic people. So they came up with a singing style that sounds like speaking so they were still able to make music but wouldn't get caught by the Danish.

I love to listen to music for the musics sake, that being said, I never got into her music. I prefer this angle of Art more in the realm of techno, to put it lightly. 
But I understand what people can get from her, music truly can be like a great painting, like a novel or a sculpture if you give it the space needed. So good for y’all who enjoy her ♥️

I get what you're saying but this isn't meant to be played in your car lmao 

Like some Björk fans go hard (like myself) and absolutely will blare this anytime, anywhere - but this is more like an art piece that you are meant to contemplate and unpack. You watch Top Gun when you want to be entertained, and you watch a David Lynch movie like Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me when you want to have an experience that f*cks with your head a bit. Both are valid media forms, both are great - but they each require a very different approach and serve different purposes.

And funnily enough Björk has Top Guns AND Twin Peaks in her discography

Excellent analogy!! I also happen to love David Lynch + Twin Peaks
