Mar 11, 2018THE MOST EXPERIMENTAL ALBUM EVER
Bjork is at another level with this record . Songs like "Oceania' , "Mouth's Crandle" , "Who it it" are hypnotizing.But the biggest surprise is singing in her native -icelandic- language ( Vokuro)
A MUST -
Oct 31, 2017Björk em toda sua essência nesse CD. Com um lado mais obscuro ela explora suas melodias e letras de forma dramática, essa mistura resulta em um dos melhores CDs do ano e de sua carreira.

Jul 24, 2017Medulla is the Björk's masterpiece. All the volumes, the textures and the colors of the record are rich and deeply generous. The production is creative and innovative. Some songs like "Submarine", "Ancestors" and "Pleasure is All Mine" are works of art.

Oct 5, 2016One of my favourite albums by Bjork. What an innovative way to create an original album, by mostly using voices for beats. This album predates the acapella craze that hit mainstream culture in the early 2010s. Download: Where is the Line, Oceania, Pleasure is All Mine.

Aug 7, 2016Un gran album, donde Björk muestra todo su talento y dedicacion, una obra de arte, mis favoritas son los 4 singles y vokuro, pero definitivamente de todas, Where Is The Line Es Mi Favotita

Sep 24, 2015Bjork's most experimental album, Medulla, and the word "challenging" mean the same in a world where pop and rock have become painfully generic and catatonic.

Sep 10, 2015Björk can sound so dark in this album.
The vocals in this album mix so well with Björk, it's so amazing, you can hear and feel the effort she puts in every album. -
Jun 5, 2015When instruments shut and the voices are so uncontrollably present the way they are here, you can tell we're in front of not only a marvellous music album, but also an all-time historic masterpiece.
9.6/10 -
Jan 22, 2015Medulla is so atmospheric, the concept linked to nature and the constellation are beautiful songs sound like magic particles in your ears, Oceania is perfect.

Jul 18, 2014Björk can sound so dark in this album. Totally opposite of "Vespertine"... When i listen to the voices and harmony of this album, I feel like I'm swimming on a line of notes... It's amazing and make me feel great.

Apr 22, 2012The moment you immerse yourself into this album, you'll realize just how great the whole album actually is. Took me a little bit to get into it but it gets better with each listen. Never been a fan of Bjork, but after listening to Medulla I just want to listen to more from her. All In All, each track is massive in scope and Bjork's lyrics are haunting.

Feb 20, 2012Bjork deserves full marks for experimentation, but Medulla often lacks cohesion, structure and reason to listen fully to each of its tracks. There are several of her best efforts here but overall the talent seems misplaced and lacking, leading to an enjoyable yet disappointing listen.

Jun 24, 2011Beautiful deep sounds of ancient (anatomic, anthemic!) humanity,,, Perfect combination of personal views and expanding spaces of mind;by going to deepest parts of body collages through history and future... And I really desired constelation!

Oct 8, 2010Medulla is certainly Bjork's most inventicve album, and, in turn, her best so far. On par with Vespertine's introverted, soft beat filled songs, Medula's a capella songs are truly captivating. While it may take a while to get accustomed to all the 'a-a-as' and the various Bjorkified shrieks, it's definitely worthwhile. This is the only, truly, inventive album I own. Fabulous.

Sep 22, 2010At the first listen i was very disturbed and the front vcover picture made me cringe, but then I realized that that's who she is and I LOVE IT!!!! The songs are great and "Triumph of a Heart" made me dance.....Some songs are lacking what bjork usually gives though
-
PanosK.Aug 24, 2009Totally mind-blowing!!!!This album sounds more arresting and beautiful than a whole orchestra. It's so brilliant in its simplicity from the very first listen. Might be her best work!

VictorL.Aug 23, 2009My fav Bjork album!Very brave,unique,complex...The only song I don't like is Ancestors.

-
ipsedJul 23, 2009It takes a being who adores innovation to accept this album wholly; only a person like Bjork can truly love tracks like 'Ancestors'. This album is not for the average. Art.

Though hardly Björk's most pronounced statement, Medúlla is definitely a highlight of her already illustrious career.
-
To me, Medulla is an experiment in transforming the primal power of the human voice into a 21st century context. It's an amazing effort, and it's one of the best albums of the year.
-
The luminosity of her performance counters the album's tendency toward dry formalism. [5 Sep 2004]
