INDEED. Although Medúlla is a commendable effort even though it's boring.
Biophilia for me was the biggest offender. An alleged love letter to the universe and it ends up being a drab, monotone project (at least Volta didn't aspire to such HEIGHTS). The concept would have worked better with production akin to the whimsy complexity of Vespertine, rather than the rote folk-lite tunes that ended up plaguing the album.
Her latest efforts have been directionless and misguided, a display of half-baked concepts; which is a pity, considering this is the same woman responsible for milestone concept albums such as HOMOGENIC and VESPERTINE (our faves simply could never). I'm not sure if she's just trying less or the creative well has simply ran out.
AFAIK, the signed copies are only being offered in that Play.com site, and they're not shipping outside Europe. You would need an intermediary to send the album to North America.
So many roadblocks to become #aWARE in this continent. Punishment for the shit that has topped the music charts here, SURELY.
Anyone from the UK want to buy it for me? I'll gladly pay for all the costs associated with it.

What bugged me the most about Volta was all the brass.
It had so many tracks that went absolutely nowhere and all I can remember about them are the horns. Still aside from track 9 I can at least leave it in my player and forget about it like white noise. With Medúlla all I could think about the entire time was what I did wrong. It wasn't just boring, it actively sought out noises and effects that make songs impossible to even listen to, let alone enjoy. Usually I respect and like songs that are "radio-unfriendly" but come on.
I don't know. It seems like Björk has given up, and is just doing whatever to pass the time.
EDIT: Actually now that I think about it, "given up" doesn't really apply. Most likely as far as concerns her she's already done it all and is just pursuing whatever interests her. She's hit her peak already and doesn't feel the effort is necessary. Doesn't mean it's good but eh oh well.
BTW This thread is ridiculously entertaining.

"We Are Never" etc sounds like the biggest hit. So glad they nailed that smash campaign launch that Mine wasn't. Here's the country mix http://tasteofcountry.com/taylor-swift-we-are-never-ever-getting-back-together/
Still hope the album is album-y and not collab heavy. Flawless cover.

It just looks like a mash up of all the BTW themes/images to me.Holy SHCEISSE
I just woke up because Nem tweeted me and ITS GLORIOUS
this trailer beats anything she did in the BTW era
Oh, yeah, for some reason I was thinking of Bad Romance and Alejandro and thought of BTW.

I don't know if she's talking about Marry The Night or Born This Way. They both seem important to her, personally at least.
I love that she's serving up that BOOMKACK shade tbh
of course, she is talking about the Madonna comparisons that never die
I agree with Marius. BTW was supposed to be a big LGBT/diversity anthem that was dragged as a copycat song. I imagine that has to hurt on a personal level.
That's what I hated about it!

It's definitely one of the more polarising singles in that regard.
lol, she gets an A for effort at least?
This is not a gaming thread #conniving #shade #etc
It means Taylor slays your faves *.*
