5.0 classic | davidwave4 | January 23rd 15 | An immaculate collection of glitchy electronics and elegiac strings that ultimately coalesce into Bjork's most personal album in nearly two decades.

0.0 | treeqt. | January 24th 15 | This album is easily the best thing to ever exist. That is for the 30 or so seconds where it decides to be a techno record, outside of that it's essentially the most worst thing ever.

3.5 great | TheKleszcz | January 22nd 15 | Stone Milker is the best song on the album and the whole has its moments and growing potential, but it never really climaxes and I miss the times when Bjork made actual songs. This album desperately needs an Isobel-like track somewhere nearing the end to give the listener some breathing space and to make that avant-garde stream of sounds digestable.

3.0 good | olisz | August 8th 22 | The album starts of very strong, but falls apart in its second half for me. Still overall I enjoy it in the right mood.

4.5 superb | Reini Eden | March 11th 19 | This album is really beautiful and wonderful in many ways that I can't explain, although the one flaw about this album is that it really drags. Other than that it's a fantastic album.

4.0 excellent | NewBallistics | March 3rd 16 | Another introspective look into the aftermath of Vespertine while coming to concussions with Bjork's mindset almost 14 years later. I will say that this staggers a bit in diversity compared to her trends in previous efforts but overall it succeeds as a well-composed and detailed album.

3.0 good | cjbizzlebizzle | December 31st 15 | Vulnicura by Bjork with glitchy beats and intense strings delivers a trippy and deeply personal experience that, at least for me, leaves the listener lost on the outside. Bjork gives a strong performance and the combination of beats and strings is truly interesting and all Bjork; credit must be given for this signature sound. The composition is also interesting but lacks direction and the staggering amount of disjointed content makes it a massive chore that takes patience on the part of the listener (and in this case, after enough focused listens I apparently do not have enough patience). I admire anyone that can share their innermost pain, I really like Bjork's ideas and singing, I think the beats and strings are original and intense but the extremely wavering songwriting and lack (probably purposefully) of direction doesn't make me want to listen to the album for any extended period of time. It is almost too personal to dive into from the outside.

0.0 | Finn Baker | November 26th 15 | Occasionally catchy, I guess. I was really looking forward to listening to this, given how much hype there was around it. It sounds like Bjork was singing a bunch oh phrases mushed together, with no beat or melody in mind, and someone just made an instrumental to put under those lyrics. Out of the 58 minutes this record trudges through, that only works for about a minute at a time. The beats sound okay, Bjork's vocals sound alright too, but this is the worst possible way to put them together.

4.5 superb | GooGooGajoob | November 21st 15 | Maybe it's the fact I don't have the bias of growing up with Bjork. I'd become familiar with her discography shortly before the release of Vulnicura.rSeeing the comparisons to Vespertine and Homogenic honestly frustrated me. Just because people have to think and listen to Bjork in the form of nostalgia is ripping away the chance for people to appreciate this masterpiece. This, in all honesty, and maybe with the fresh ears, is Bjork's finest work. Hearts wrenching, and passionate in the depths of depression and broken families.

2.0 poor | Torontonian | June 30th 15 | It pains me to say it but this album is incredibly poor.

0.0 | Lambda | May 5th 15 | Great mix, Bjork's performance is excellent, the album concept is cool, and I love the strings. However, the songwriting does little for me. None of the songs here, with the possible exception of opener "Stonemilker" and penultimate number "Mouth Mantra," feel like they go anywhere. They are simply long, monotone stretches of electronic drumming and swirling strings with Bjork vocalizing overtop. This results in a listen that's never bad, but rarely gripping, either. 2.5

4.0 excellent | Jared Floryan | March 9th 15 | On her latest full-length album Vulnicura, Iceland's eclectic queen Bjork still hasn't hit the brakes just yet. The string arrangements are profound throughout much of the release and sound the album's emotionally raw nature incredibly well. This also goes double for the production style - which is neither complex nor too simple. Bjork's vocals are undoubtedly expressive enough to budge a couple mountains, though I feel as if her voice was more electrifying on earlier releases; Medulla sort of comes to mind. Speaking of Vulnicura, by the way, am I the only one who appreciates the secondary cover art? You can't get anymore illustrious than a vaginal torso, I suppose.

4.0 excellent | TheManMachine | March 6th 15 | Beware: it's looong, it's challenging, and it's a break-up album; an appropriately disjointed one to boot. The many deep and complex stretches of glitchy electronics and choppy strings that never quite synchronize while Bjork somewhat haphazardly Bjorks it up are just-about-always emotionally heavy, difficult, at times disorienting; but consistently engrossing and decently varied. But what really brings this together is the real life rollercoaster pacing; the before/during/after of aforementioned break-up and the mood changes that come with it are a mastery of flowage and help this pill go down.
