EARTHA

hope is a dangerous muscle for a fungus like me to have (but it allows us to connect)

tbh i would NOT be mad at this
 

i feel like Björk is so in her own lane and giving so much "eternal musical genius prodigy" that the big music critics dont dare touch any sort of negativity or examining her (admittedly incredible and amazing) art as like a layperson.  she is absolutely groundbreaking and doing stuff no one else does, and playing with the possibilities of sound and music, and i'm so grateful.  but i do wonder what it would be like if she tried to make even just one new song that could be immediately accessed and understood by someone who hasn't been initiated into the musical scaffolding of Björk. 
she used to make bops
now its all this discordant weird time signatures stuff thats brilliant but i know this bitch has it in her to serve another bop.  even just one!

all of us talking about bombastic synths and drums and electric guitars and catholic rave infused orchestra and…:

 
the 13 new acoustic piano ballads sitting on lana’s 5$ hard drive she bought at an airport:

catholic psychedelic synth folk?

I want synths. SYNTHS

Wasn't Utopia's version of Allow allegedly very straightforward and melodic?
I feel like we might get something for the bjöp lovers after all.

Agreed. Hopefully there’s a good mix on the album. If it’s all chaotic mushroom rave music i’ll have a headache by track 4.

It looks like a continuation of Biophilia in the rhythm I like. The visuals, the sets are magnificent and Bjork, despite her ever-increasing extravagance, is sublime.
But I understand those who don't like it because it's been quite repetitive and hard on the ear for a few eras and there are few surprises. 

Too much experimental kills the experimental. I hope she will let this album breathe a little with lighter titles after the compact (not to say indigestible, Utopia).
She announced a dancing and clubbing album, I must dream but I expect a slightly more generic record.  

This just sounds like a remix of a utopia song to me
 
i swear she’s used that vocal “oooooAAAAAA” “hoooaaaaAAAAAA” line on like 20 songs since biophilia
 
her music will always be cool to me but I wish this felt more different than just utopia with clarinets instead of flutes to me

This devil gave me permanent tinnitus after one of her shows on 2018 so I don't listen to her music anymore. But as an ancient fan, the song is great, the lyrics are powerful and the beat is crazy, I would be very happy with this song if I was still a fan. But the visuals are getting more and more kitsch in her eras :o It's horrible

Atopos ending 

I laughed out loud when I saw this for the first time bc it was so cute ngl
 
After hours of having the song on repeat and watching the video multiple times back to back... it's such a fun track and the production of the video, the website made for the record... it's so good. Love how she's always thinking about the bigger picture and making everything so cohesive. We stan a goddess  Even my bf loved the track and the video and he hasn't been that much into her since Utopia

lana's influence 
 
 
i LOVE the beats and orchestra but where o where have your sublime vocal melodies gone bjork?? my biggest complaint with her past few albums, including this song.

i absolutely love it.  somehow this song is accessed more easily than a lot of her other lead singles in recent years.  it's perfect for this time, for what we're going through.  so much of modern politics concerns how people with differing identities are absolutely disparate, disconnected from others, with experiences unable to be understood, but we are all human.  our differences are irrelevant.  placing this wall between us and others is just excuses to Not connect.  i've personally been struggling with this thing:  when i try to be kind to others, open, generous, personable, i am opening myself to vulnerability, to the possibility of rejection.  i started a new job where i try to be nice to everyone, to introduce myself and be kind, be open.  but some people shut me down, be rude, make me feel hurt for even trying.  and i think, if i close myself off, don't be nice, don't open myself to that vulnerability to rejection, i don't have to deal with this.  but if i do that, i also shut myself off from any possible connection with the beautiful, wonderful others who i love to get to know.  Bjork is really coming thru.  this is so timely, important, relevant, meaninglful.  we HAVE to connect.  our plants MUST reach out, within reason, to see we are all one wondrous, indescribable, ineffable living organism called THE EARTH
