She gave her best in the past ('Debut', 'Post', 'Homogenic'), but its best turned out for the same pattern her voice reigns so passionately and in the case of 'Vespertine' so irritatingly boring. Just as long as it kicks ass in favour of modern technology...

i love "Post", i just dont get this one

After dabbling with 90's pop, jazz and experimental punk, it seems Bjork has finally found her Icelandic feet with Vespertine. The delicate beats and swooping vocals are almost chilling at times, Vespertine is a brilliant album. There was only one song (Sun in my Mouth) that I didn't really care for. The rest are as beautiful as one another- so emotional they make you feel as though you just want to scream. Pagan poetry and Aurora are my favourites, but only just, as this album is one that I recommend anyone to hear.… Expand

A lot of depth and introversian on this album. Good stuff.

Absolutely Gorgeous!!!! Pagan poetry is my favourite track of ever!!!

So delicate so beautiful

Pagan Poetry! Pagan Poetry! This is ultimately her best album, yet!!! It's 1000000x times better than the next one, Medulla....

Bjork 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.

My personal favorite album of any musician I have ever come across. It can not be beaten (in my opinion) in craft, compositional complexity and perfection, pure hearted, genuine, soulful, painful, euphoric expression, and down right love. This album inspects the inner workings of our bodies, the introspection that comes with being human -- our minds, hearts, and even subtle physiological phenomena in a single micro beat. Everything is included in an infinite, yet minute space, crafted by sound in an arrangement to beat all arrangements. This album feels, breathes, loves, and lives. The closest music comes to mirroring primal human life.… Expand

Bjork is simply divine, there are no words to describe her music... just enjoy!!!

Frankly, a very few artists are capable of even touching the base of the metaphorical Everest Bjork has scaled with the release of Vespertine. 55.5 minutes of, incontestably, some of the most beautiful and stunning music to have been released in the last decade. Layer after layer...after layer of flawless immaculacy. And then you have Bjorks lyrics, --heaven help us-- the lyrics! Given Bjorks fetal grasp of the English Language, these lyrics are literally an expressive testament to her unbounded talent. An Essential own from one of the most incredible and versatile musicians alive on the planet today.… Expand

this is one of the best records i have heard in recent memory. hidden place sets the track for the record and cocoon portrays one of the sexiest songs. its not up to you is a glorious and revealing pop song and undo works in the same manner. i cant talk about every track but they all complement each other and feed of each other. sun in my mouth repeats hemingway with sparse music. Unisom is one of the best closers of the new mellenium. bjork keeps stretching herself and her music with refreshing themes and sounds. not many artists can do that and this a great age we live in where an artist of her calibour can be soo popular around the world… Expand

A phenomenon.

One of the best ones ever done!

Like Kid A with a soul.

The best album I've ever heard so far. Amazing, perfect, emotional... words cannot describe it. Good job, B!

It's... perfect. It's magic. It's wonderful. One of the best records *ever* released.

for the loneny & happy lonely people. privat album. with Spiritualized & The White Stripes one of the best sound

Full 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.

The best yet from Bjork. Every song is wonderfully precious. Cocooc and Pagan Poetry are plain superb.

Perfect! Makes all other Bjork albums seem so insignificant.

"Vespertine" shows the more mellow side of Bjork. This album is pure genius! I believe "Heirloom" and "Aurora" are her most deepest tracks. Her albums get better as we go along. "Debut", "Post", "Homogenic", and "Medulla" are also reccommendations of mine. Even "Selmasongs" is worth listening.

My personal favourite Bjork album,transports you to a very beautiful sensual place.

This album is beautiful. The best track is Unison, with her voice at its peak and the interlude Frosti sounds magical. Although a few tracks sound similar if you understand music you can find each tracks uniqueness beyond the lyrical context.

i like this album sooooooo much, this is her surrealism at its best

The small pixie girl just sounds devine and you would wouln't you.

I am the HUGEST Bjork fan...I love everything she does. She's unique! Perfectly. And it always shows in her works.

Bjork is perfect. "Vespertine" is perfect. It's easily the best album of her career, as well as the best album of 2001. Highly recommended. Beautiful! Lush! Haunting! Imaginative! Erotic! Powerful! Moving! Inspirational! A vision! A revelation! A MASTERPIECE! Okay, I'm done. Just buy "Vespertine" A.S.A.P.!

Fantastic!! Easily her best stuff. She's the most incredible and strangely beautiful singer that there is. I gave her a 9 only so she'll have room to grow.

Startling at first, Vespertine's genius lies at the powerful peaks on all of the emotional, intelligent tracks. Easily, Bjork's best album to date, Vespertine draws the listener in like a beckon, (not a dare, as was the case on most of her other works,) blurring the boundaries of rock and electronica, and creating pure emotion out of mechanical, emotionless sounds. Bjork's style will undoubtably hold a place in any true music appreciator's heart... unless, of course, that person doesn't have one. … Expand

Absolutely wonderfull, it's really a masterpiece that everybody that appreciate good music should have. Bjork again shows that she is very creative.

This is one of those rare intimate albums that wraps you up in soft sounds. Perfect for when you're holed up in your room during a blizzard.

superb

About as beautiful album of music i know, like the shards of sublime noise rotating, suspended in the air, knocking into each other and reverberating with warmth and humanity. Quite simply the album of our time.

that i live in such a time when music like this is made will always be a source of real and lasting personal satisfaction

AMAZING...this is probably her most beautiful work to date. This is the album that made her a legend.

I really don't give easily a 10 for an album (it's extremly rare), but this one even deserves a 11! It surpasses everything we had heard. For the first time until 2001 (maybe we can consider "Selmasongs" as the tourning point) Björk delivers us minimalist (in a good way), spiritual and introspective parts of her soul. Even if I've always admired what she's done previous to this album (the excellence and lava-ish "Homogenic", the breathtaking "Post", and so and so), she has reached the culminate point of her career with "Vespertine". Maybe because of the facts of 1997 (for example, when she smashed a journalist in Bangkok; one retarded fan who wanted to kill her; ...), paradoxally she gained a certain tranquility (and the best is that she accepted to get that), something she had never explored in her previous albums. Since then, we can consider that she has done (almost) everything in her music career. ... Facts are... Even if she's too modest to accept that, she has released, I think, the greatest album ever, by any artist. Music blessed and embarrassed her!… Expand

This is just one of the best albums of the first decade. It's delightful, beautiful, harmonious... just a classic. Sometimes I wonder why there's so much people listening to Justin Bieber, having such great non-commercial music right here. :/

LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!! Best Bjork album! "Unison" was the best song on the album...All other tracks equally great. If you havn't already check it out!!!

I won't attempt to describe this work too much with words, as it is impossible. Let's use ideas instead. Some artists are able to create music that is simply more than just music. The way they blend sounds, melodies, moods, energy and words together become catalysts for the human psych, enabling our mind, body and soul to reach states that are unattainable otherwise. Björk is one of them. Vespertine is not just a collection of good songs that usually make an album an "album". Its a voyage into ourselves, through herself. As much as I totally love Homogenic, I feel that Vespertine feels more complete. Despite being less varied in style than its predecessor, it explores a unique genre all the way to its core. Lay on your bed in the dark with a good pair of headphones and listen to this before going to sleep. If you truly love music, you'll wish the experience never ends.… Expand

i liked it but i thought homogenic was way better than this one. but i still liked this album. .............................................................................................................................................................................

One 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.

This is easily my favorite album of all time, it has a trascendental beauty that is hard to describe with words and just has to be felt. A masterpiece.

CLASSIC. This album is a nonstop ride through heavenly clouds. The album opens with the Erie but rhythmically unique sample of hidden place. It almost seems to awaken your poor bored soul from hibernation to enjoy one of the best albums produced in human history. The album proceeds to serenade with Bjork one of a kind sweet vocal and soft electronic beats. This album for Bjork is like the wild beast being tamed into the most proficient cold assassin. This is her best.… Expand
