ALX 170 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I don't care about the charts but Vulnicura is amazing... She oblitared Madonna's non talented ass with quality music Make sure to spell obliterate correctly and that non talented ass is still the world's most successful female artist Bjork has literally no commercial impact anymore, the only people who care/creamed their pants over her music stalk Pitchfork all day long, use soymilk as creamer and eat chia seeds for breakfast Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alii 2,039 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Is she even commerically successful? No shade tho, I love her. But I know she does not care about charts :sis: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrawberryBlond 14,120 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Sorry, no, I just don't get the hype. I've listened to half this album today (I've listened to Biophilia before as well) and I honestly fail to understand why this woman gets amazing reviews. She can't sing (or at least, in English, she can't), her enunciation is shot, her melodies and instrumentals are irritating and her lyrics are just hipster-esque "poetic" phrasing that doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things. Some of her beats would be ok if she just let them be instrumentals and didn't put her awful singing over them. I'm all for quirky, unusual artists and pushing musical boundaries, but Bjork is where I draw the line. I feel like she's just trying to be weird for weirdness sake, and that's a big turn-off for me. She was never an album seller and she certainly won't be now. She's only getting attention for this album because it gave the impression that it was another Beyonce style album release with its sudden announcement as a digital download to make up for the leak, especially in the wake of the Rebel Heart leak. At the most, she'll debut big, then fall massively, as all artists like her do. Bjork has literally no commercial impact anymore, the only people who care/creamed their pants over her music stalk Pitchfork all day long, use soymilk as creamer and eat chia seeds for breakfast Apart from It's Oh So Quiet song (which wasn't even a big commercial success, nor was it her song), did she ever have commercial impact? Her highest charting single in the US only limped to #84. And that's exactly what I was thinking about her fanbase! And those types of people certainly do not make up the majority of music listeners, hence why albums by these supposedly superior artists never sell well.

Too lazy to answer this post, however what i want to say is that she DOES can sing. I was on her concert and the live vocals slayed me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those types of people certainly do not make up the majority of music listeners, hence why albums by these supposedly superior artists never sell well. That's alright, it's fair to have that opinion. It's understandable that some people can't get or appreciate more experimental artists that aren't Top 40. However, there's a difference between simply not getting an artist and then coming into their dedicated thread with a pompous attitude with the sole intention of literally insulting and degrading their work. Just because you can't comprehend on a musical and technological level how special Bjork's work is, it doesn't mean she's being 'weird for weirdness sake'. Don't you call yourself a music critic? That's a very disappointingly shallow and cynical way to 'critique' an artist. And to say she can't sing... That's basically just hilariously inaccurate. And then to mock her about commercial success... Hello? Do you think she cares? She's been signed to the same indie label throughout her entire solo career for more than 20 years. If success was the goal you can be damn sure her music would be very different. Not everything has to be geared towards radio in order for it to be valid or noteworthy, don't be so superficial. In short: it's okay to not like Bjork or this album, of course, because she doesn't appeal to the masses and she never has. However don't try and rain on the parade of her fans by launching a tirade of insults against her during the release of her album with such attitude. There is a reason that she's such a celebrated influence within electronic music communities, and it's not her fault if people uneducated about that kind of thing like you don't get it.

BringDaNoize 1 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I don't think she cares about commercial success. Björk said back in 2010 she has had it all with Debut and Post. Would person who cares about commercial stuff release an album like Medúlla? She worth like 50m why'd she care lmao Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
