So what do we think of the Bjork record then?

vamos [Edit] [Delete] 14:41, 27 October '11

I'm about 5 listens in.

I think I rather like it. I don't *quite* love it yet, but it's getting better with each listen. It sort of lacks an obvious, loud standout moment or single like 'Volta' had, but then as a record it hangs together far better than that affair, rather more like 'Vespertine'.

I find some of the lyrics a bit cringeworthy at times though ('start hole'?!?!?) and I vary my opinion on the random, electronic freak outs on a daily basis. Sometimes they rock my world. Sometimes I think they're a bit pointless.

All in all though, it's growing on me lots. Probably an 8/10 right now, with potential to rise.

The bonus tracks are quite good too. Probably worth the extra few quid just to piss off my Radiohead loving completist mates who want the Yorke collaboration.

WHAT SAY YOU?

(Also, the whole app thing. I bought the record so do I therefore also get to download the apps for free? Or do you have to buy those too? Not that I would. Unless they're free. But still...)
