    Vulnicura Strings sees Björk restructuring an already phenomenal work of art and creating an even more desolate mood than the phenomenal Vulnicura, where time is frozen but also somewhere to move on from. It’s not a place to visit every day, but whenever you need a reminder about what great art looks and feels like here’s where to go to.

    This album is amazing, Vulnicura gets even more emotional with this version, it could make you cry. Incredible record. It will make you hallucinate...

    Amazing use of the original songs, the strings make a personal album look even more personal, and that's something I have to recognize Björk always knows how to please her fans!

    given the simplicity of the premise. This is both a joy to listen to and a chance to focus on Björk’s string arrangements and the frustration contained therein.

    A satisfying, if not earth-shattering, experiment. [Jan 2016, p.73]
