Bjork- Volta (alternative, review, conformist, quote, songs)

Mar-Vell · 06-11-2007, 10:30 AM

Ok, I have been a Bjork fan for a while, but the new album just left me sort of wanting... Someone recommended I check out Hanne Hukkelberg. She is quite good... reminds me of Bjork, but very fresh.

Also check out this video of hers on YouTube...
It is her coving the Kinks - All Day and All of the Night

Awesome!

Declare Independance jumps out at me like a twenty foot pole.

Listen to that then the Anchor Song.

Wow, Volta. I was so disappointed. I've been a Bjork fan for quite a while and I've always been excited about her new releases but I couldn't get my head around this one. And comparing it to the perfection that was Medulla made it sound even worse.

It's not all negative, though. I think Innocence is one of the best songs she's ever done and Earth Intruders is cool too. Working with Timbaland was the best idea in the world.

And I like the cover...

Not her best by a long way, but still quite enjoyable. I think Declare Independance is probably my favourite song of the year.

I actually really liked the album. I do like a lot of her older songs better, but I think Volta was still a good album, way better than a lot of other new stuff I've heard (by other artists) recently (in my opinion).

Regardless of what anyone tells you...Volta is a good cd and I recommend it!
