Reviews

    Crijevo
    This is where she slips into total self-indulgence. The next two albums ("Vulnicura" and especially "Utopia") continued in the same vein, tediously so. Every Björk's (new) album may still provoke curiosity, and kudos to her for pushing her own envelope further but with "Biophilia" it definitely sounds like there is nothing left to push - except listeners' patience over the edge, who in return may choose pressing "stop" rather than "play". A sound here and there to say - ok, but nothing too unusual under the sun to say "wow" - in this album's case, it's definitely a "yawn".
