Nov 14, 2012Vespertine is her best work to date, as being the most carefully prepared in refined in sound matters, also her voice couldn't be better with highlights as "Undo" "Hidden Place" "Unison" and "Pagan Poetry".

Dec 3, 2013Listening to this album is like listening to the sound of angels, it is really a beautiful trip to the high above. I love all the elements in the songs, while listening to it I feel from calm to passionate and a lot more, that's why I love this album so much, it gives me a lot of feelings.

Jul 18, 2014This is a powerful album!!! I cannot explain who I felt when I listened this one for the first time. All the harmony is lovely and how it sound is amazing, so awesome and greatest beauty. This is one of the best albums of all time! ♥

May 29, 2020This is probably my favourite album of all time. Don't be fooled by the crtitics coming off a high horse of Homogenic with their expectations and preconceptions - this is Bjork at her most personal. It's like Hyperballd transformed into an entire album, intimate, nurturing, blissful experience.

JuliaASep 19, 2006Bjork sung with both love and secrets to its core in this record.very feminine,gentle,but also dark and hidden.an album that tells about being a woman in lots of perspective.

Oct 8, 2011One of the most beautiful albums I've ever heard. Björk's voice sounds heavenly. It's an emotional battle, her overwhelming voice vs the beautifully arranged insturmental and minimal beats. Indeed, one of the best albums ever.
-
Nov 24, 2017Eu amo esse CD e sua capa também. Esse álbum é bem mais intimista, erótico e pessoal de Björk. Resultou sendo considerado um dos melhores álbuns da cantora.
-
Oct 24, 2016An amazing and surrealistic album that is an alternative music icon. After her brilliant almbun "Homogenic" and "SelmaSongs" Bjork express what an alternative/electronic album would be!
-
Dec 18, 2016O álbum mais fraco e sem graça da Björk já feito, consegue ser pior que até o Biophilia. Uma verdadeira superestimação em um álbum tão ruim cujo ponto alto é apenas Pagan Poetry. Tantos álbuns melhores feitos pela Björk para terem essa altíssima nota e o Vespertine é quem recebe, uma verdadeira vergonha.

BrunoD.Oct 25, 2001It's... perfect. It's magic. It's wonderful. One of the best records *ever* released.

HenryH.May 25, 2002Full of magic of laptop music and harp and choir and the strangest symphony and Bjork's sensational vocal. The most heavenly perfectly of the decade.

Awards & Rankings

With Vespertine, Bjork has constructed a whispering wall of wonders, and instead of forcing everyone out, has invited the world to look through the cracks.
-
1997's Homogenic, also a mixture of heavy beats and strings, was not as varied or complete as this album, and while Selmasongs, last year's soundtrack to "Dancer in the Dark" (in which Björk starred), was lovely in its own sweeping, cinematic way, Björk has surpassed herself with this new work.
-
Björk continues to mine the fine line of minimalist lushness that her last album gave birth to; with tiny, crackling, skittery beats weaving open-toned ambient beds in which her breathy, pushed-forward vocals lithely lay, the closeness and drama of her every syllable commanding attention.
