    Worst album of the year. Unless you enjoy the sound of Bjork speaking/farting over music that doesn't match up at all. Awful. Literally the only thing I gleaned from listening to this album on repeat for 12 hours is that mushrooms give Bjork the farts. All the songs blend together in a fecal mess. Nothing stands out at all. Like literally after 12 hours the only thing I can remember areWorst album of the year. Unless you enjoy the sound of Bjork speaking/farting over music that doesn't match up at all. Awful.

Like literally after 12 hours the only thing I can remember are bits of Atopos. i am utterly baffled why everyone seems to be rubbing their **** over this album. GET A GRIP.… Expand

    I would have to agree that this album is crap. Bjork's songwriting has been terrible for nearly 2 decades now and this album hasn't changed it a bit. Even the 4 lead singles sound cringe. Only the mentally ill could unironically enjoy this album..

    Not an easy listen - as one might expect - but definitely a rich, rewarding one.

    Fossora is an incredible and vulnerable project that refuses any easy categorisation. Björk’s dives into sonic obfuscation have never once eclipsed her refusal to be anything except open-hearted and honest. Her power is in how she allows herself to feel and let these emotions guide her artistic expression.

    Oddly charming, goblincore aesthetic, one that capitalises on Björk’s unique strengths: the arrangements on Fossora are among the most complex and lavish of her career. [Nov 2022, p.58]
