Nov 24, 2017Talented. Brilliant. Incredible. Amazing. Show stopping. Spectacular. Never the same. Totally unique. Completely not ever been done before.

Dec 20, 2017A stunning, lush, and love-filled album from Björk. One of her best yet and proof that her passionate search for new sounds, ideas, and collaborations is never-ending and ever-rewarding.

Nov 26, 2017Can you believe bjork invented flutes? Also she took my wig and I don't think she's ever giving it back because I saw her pawning it for rent money. Bjork is eating good this era ladies!

Nov 25, 2017Clearly the album of the year 2017. It's the closing for what can be considered "the love trilogy", composed by Vespertine, Vulnicura and, now, Utopia. The birth, the death and the reflourishing of love.

Nov 24, 2017Que CD lindo. Ainda bem que existem artistas como Björk e ainda com destaque na indústria musical, se não estariamos perdidos. Ótimo CD, politizado, relaxante e nostálgico (mesmo sendo tão atual).
-
Nov 24, 2017This is clearly he album of the year, outstanding in every single aspect. Incredibly rich in sounds, ranging from birds, to alien sounds to harp, flute and beats. It's a natural continuation of Björk's latest's projects Vulnicura and Biophilia. Very honest and hypnotic.
-
Nov 24, 2017Alien opera music at its best! Her voice hasnt sound so cocoonish like 15 years now.. The sonic landscapes she creates are so futuristic and brilliant!

Nov 24, 2017What a great album, magnificent from start to finish, every song floats into the next, and it truly creates a sense and atmosphere of utopia and paradise.
-
Nov 24, 2017"Björk is full of love again". "Utopia" feels like a mix of her previous musical identities to create a place everyone must go - full of birds, tiny little creatures and flute sounds creating the soundtrack to the listeners' imaginary landscapes.
-
Nov 24, 2017It's already one of my favorite Björk's albums. So touching, inspirating, very contemplative and ethereal. If Vespertine sounds like winter, Utopia is completely like spring for me.
-
Nov 28, 2017Is not better than 'Vulnicura', but is a success for the optimistic traumas, typical of singleness and an escape to the electronic spring of the femininity. It's a telephatic journey to the "hidden place".
-
Nov 24, 2017Com certeza esse é o melhor álbum de 2017. Björk nunca decepciona em seus trabalhos, principalmente este em colaboração com o Arca. Composições e produção musical incríveis, que nos fazem ir além do nosso plano, chegando assim em sua Utopia.
-
Nov 27, 2017The low reviews are from people who don't understand it. That's fine. I don't like their music most likely. This is one of the best releases of the year IMO and if you don't agree you don't agree. For the record this isn't pop music. It's experimental electronic music. Stop confusing the two because you're a sexist with preconceived notions.

Nov 29, 2017Simplesmente um álbum lindo! Com toda uma história para contar, Björk nos surpreende mais uma vez com seu talento musical e artístico. Todos esses sons de flautas, pássaros, harpas e a produção conjunta invejável com seu amigo Arca (e Rabit em losss) deixaram esse trabalho ainda mais belo, é uma pena que ainda há quem prefira o venezuelano longe dos projetos da islandesa.
-
Nov 24, 2017Curious, creative, baffling.
The album has a unique sound and at the same time refers to other previous works of the singer.
Wonderful.
One of the best releases of the year. -
Nov 28, 2017Eargasm!! this record takes you to magical places, I feell her emotions, she is healing from a dark Vulnicura journey, the birds and the flute are the perfect match to this original masterpiece.
-
Dec 1, 2017Such a beautiful, magical and original album... takes you to a new world as the purpose. Love all that wild-animal-nature sounds... truly beautiful and relaxing
-
Nov 24, 2017An inspired work full of amazing moments and wonder. A truly captivating journey with Bjork as our guide, who imbues the album with a sense of humor and heart throughout. Don't miss out on this masterpiece!
-
Nov 24, 2017It´s different to everything she has done before, but at the same time it gives me some homogenic, vespertine, selma songs vibes. she is already tired of making pop, radio friendly music. It needs more than one listen to get the point. Not new in her.

Nov 24, 2017Absolutely wonderful, but I expected more. The fresh/experimental aspect of the album can't make up for the lack of melodies, and the repetition of the existing melodies. The album is too long, and most of it is filled in with reciting, not singing. It's

Nov 24, 2017álbum do seculo.
florence enterrada, humilhada, massacrada e esmurrada pelo utopia. diria o mesmo da lana, mas essa daí ja nasceu morta e em decomposição. -
Dec 13, 2017too much to ask for a melody? c'mon. it's like free jazz but with harps. keep hoping she'll come back to writing songs instead of sound installations. i have a hard time believing that any critic, or high rating fan, will listen to this album more than once. i love bjork and her quirky, beautiful personality; i just don't like her songs. fans: don't review her, review her music.

Nov 27, 2017It is not a good album, Bjork has better jobs in her past as a musician There is a lack of creativity. Repetitive music with mostly boring arrangements. The lyrics are good, the best part of the album.
-
Apr 19, 2018One word: Boredom. Every single song sounds the same, very monotonous. A lot of screaming, the instrumental part is the best part, but nothing out of this word either. The lyrics are just ok. I wish it could be more creative and innovative. I am very disappointed, she is a great artist anyway.
-
Nov 28, 2017First listen i really hated this, after a coupple more lsitens and i still don't like it, i think Arca is ruining bjork's music for me, Blissing Me was amazing with a vespertine vibe. There's no track that make me listen it on repeat exept Blissing Me, maybe it will grow on me but im sure it will take a while.
-
Nov 25, 2017Like with every album Bjork ever did, Utopia also needs to be on repeat. It's like listening classical music, a very slow process -- trying to capture a vision of one artist was always a treat. Especially when that vision has eyez looking into the future. A step ahead of Vulnicura & Biophilia.
-
Aug 22, 2020Uno de los discos mas trabajados de Bjork, pero a su vez uno de los peores, la producción es muy original y auténtica, no suena agradable al oído, pareciera que Bjork rebuscó y rebuscó al punto de que suena muy pretencioso y poco convincente, no le llega ni a los talones a Biophilia y Vulnicura.

Feb 4, 2022É um ótimo album, podendo ser facilmente considerado um dos melhores albuns de 2017

Nov 29, 2017'Utopia' is one of Björk's most majestic and revealing albums yet, a little long but the beauty is infinite and the production is disturbing. Resolutely avant-garde!

Nov 24, 2017Cantora que esta além do seu tempo, incompreendida pelo publico e pela critica, exaltada por um publico selecto de ouvintes que amam sua arte, que entende sua mensagem, uma cantora ATEMPORAL, a nota por mais grande que seja e insuficiente de descrever o talento incalculável da Björk, apenas estou sem palavras.
-
Dec 3, 2017A majestic and grand, colourful art pop. There are ways this album could be more dazzling than it already is but it proves quite impressive, as I didn't favour much Bjork albums previous, yet again with some flaws in production and it takes love as a major, major feeling in this album.
-
Nov 24, 2017espere un poco mas de bjork , es un album bueno pero se quedo muy corto... la verdad,canciones buenas , otras muy neh y aburridas, la vos de bjork hermosa pero se quedo muy cruda a comparacion de sus anteriores álbumes
-
Nov 29, 2017excelente propuesta de Bjork sus sonidos experimentales con una estética exquisita , alejada de los sonidos comerciales , denadonos un aura llena de magia ya naturaleza a través de sus tracks definitivamente una UTOPIA
-
Nov 29, 2017For me there is nothing fresh or new. Sounds are more musically than on the previous album and that's the biggest positive for me, but only that one. It's good that the every track of Utopia is like from an utopian place.
-
Jan 13, 2018amo el album, es hermoso me cautiva, lo mejor que e escuchado este año, merece grandes permios.
-
Jan 4, 2018Adéntrate a la aterradora atmosfera que este álbum te ofrece, rico en sonidos y rico en contenido lírico. Establecido e inigualable.
-
May 10, 2018Probably one of her weaker album's but she's set a very high bar. The atmosphere on this album can range from really intriguing to bloated, possibly due to the increased atmospherism found on the album. Nevertheless, her voice is still strong, and she and Arca do work well together.
-

Feb 27, 2018Lush and detailed, she is and always will be an innovator. Arca has catered his sound very well to her and together have made a blissful album.
-
Jun 16, 2018Well, I Think is really good, but Vespertine and Vulnicura are better than this album, but this is one of her best works.
-
May 1, 2022Challenging, beautiful and spellbinding. It feels therapeutic, like dreaming. But unlike dreams which are short and fleeting Utopia is a languid challenging listen that fails to justify it's length. It almost blends into one big song and although that one big song is an indulgent marvel it can much like too much of a sweet thing leave you full and dissatisfied on continuing.

Oct 30, 2021Here we go again, there's more to discover in here than in the whole Reggaeton genre. Guðmundsdóttir did what we were not expecting for, but we already knew she could give us.
-
Nov 20, 2020Bjork never misses the opportunity to innovate and show the world how to do truly artistic work, in Utopia she probably delivered her most experimental and challenging work, the sparkling sounds of nature mingle with the murmurs of her voice around self-reflection and rediscovery , after Vulnicura's journey.
-
Dec 15, 2020The main problem these days is Björk is predictably unpredictable. The concept for concept's sake included. And whether we relate to absolutely everything-Björk or not, her last three albums make a logical next step each - for some it is a step forward, for others it is walking around in circles.
