"is this a sex song?" yes, the answer for most of the songs on this album is yes

Vespertine is a love album dedicated to her partner at the time, Matthew Barney. Her 2015 album Vulnicura is about the end of that relationship, which is pretty cool. My fav track here has to be Unison, probably my favorite closer to an album that I’ve ever heard.

yes she is the moment, and she has been the moment for so long now, an actual icon

to me Pagan Poetry is about finding someone that you're falling in love with, but being worried that your deeper complexities might be too much for them. so cool to see you listen to this!

Pagan Poetry was the last song she wrote and recorded for Vespertine, and she said the difference in it's energy is because she was done with the film, and was feeling that she could return to more edgier music after the catharsis of the rest of the songs produced for the era.

This album is honestly one of the best of all time, I can’t believe Björk was doin this type of music in 2001, this album still feels timeless in my opinion. Anyways 🛐 Vespertine supremacy 🛐

We literally changing you. You are literally going into the deep end now. MORE EXPERIMENTAL ALBUM REACTIONS PLEASE

vespertine is so iconic omg... it gives me icy south pole vibes idk also i totally agree, this is an album that we have to listen to more than once in order to understand what she was doing here hahah

Hidden Place is my favorite off of Vespertine. Such a good opener.

The noise in aurora is actually footsteps walking over sand at a rocky-ish beach in iceland.

I do think you should listen them in chronological order. Every album is an era and a completely different musical concept. Vespertine for example, is for the time she married and felt in love; opposite to Vulnicura which is her divorce and sadness album of this same marriage. There is in fact a timelime. The songs also go in order cause she actually puts them like this to create a narrative in every album. And remember, she does 99% of music production studio beats chords. This album is based on "microsounds" that altered/repeated on the studio they create music, as the sound of crickets by night.

Cocoon is sensational, it's one of those tracks that needs a few listens in the dark. It seeps into your soul a little bit at a time, until eventually every second of it years later will give you those goosebumps of ecstasy up and down your spine as you smile and sway while you listen to it. Such a masterpiece. A+

You'll have a great time with the lyrics on her album "Utopia". It's filled with sudden flashes of weird humor. She sings stuff like "When I see someone with same beard as you, I literally think I am 5 minutes away from love", or when she's looking off a beautiful mountaintop, and then being completely pissed off at how beautiful it is.

People don't talk enough about Undo, it's a song that sends me to ugly crying state.

Pagan poetry is my fav song by her😭💗💗 sooo good

One of my fav from Björk. I've always felt like the first 6 tracks are like "afternoon/night tracks", and after frosti is the morning coming, making a loop... idk. Just love this album ♡

Unison and Undo are two of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. The build ups with the choir and strings give me chills every time. Absolutely stunning

There should be a video floating around in the RU-vid where she explains the concept of the album and some songs. But basically she was obsessed with what she calls “micro sounds.” Like the percussion in Aurora is people stepping on snow. She also used the sound of playing cards being shuffled. At one point she wanted a recording of a pussy Willow blossom opening but she couldn’t find it on any audio library 😂 she’s an genius. To me this is like my winter album. Sounds and the bells and glockenspiel sounds remind me of snowflakes, ice and and snow ❄️ I recommend listening to Frosti while looking out the window while it’s snowing.

The vocal arrangements on these are amazing, so lush. And gave rise to the Medulla album concept, which came after this. I can't wait for you to react to that one!

Frosti is actually music box, Björk wrote the entire melody and got it adapted for music boxes, she ordered bespoke plexiglass music boxes from a company called Porter based in the US, she wanted the music box to sound like ice

You cannot imagine what waits you on the next album called Medulla!!!

BROOOO NO WAYYYYY. you always post album reactions that are fresh on my mind. Fucken telepathic mate ❤️❤️

WOOO VESPERTINE, HER BEST!

Björk: a Ben: What??? Me: 🤣🤣🤣

This album is an experience start to finish. It’s a musical art masterpiece that cannot be re-made and I envy anyone who listens to it for the first time.

Ooh I'm so excited, another Björk! She wrote the bones of this album on her laptop inbetween filming "Dancer in the Dark" movie, and wanted an outlet that was beautiful in sound and in emotion, in comparison to the heaviness of the film. And something that would sound good on small speakers. She also composed the music for the film, a soundtrack that's nice to listen to, but it's eccentric character may be puzzling if not seen the movie (which is very sad and dark). Parts of the video for Pagan Poetry was pornographic, between her and her husband, but was censored eventually before release.

Unison is my favourite song on it, back then and still is. I return to it often when I'm feeling fragile. Along with Tori Amos' Cooling (the live version on To Venus and Back album)

Unison even after all those years still gives me goosebumps, one of my favorites from all of her catalogue

UNISON IS STUNNING. SOUNDS LIKE PARADISE

This album was when she Started to Incorporate MICRO BEATS , into the song production. Those little intricate sounds that you can't exactly put ur finger on and decipher bit somehow perfectly compliment the arrangement. P.S. Aurora (track 6) the sound is Footsteps in the Snow ❄️❄️

Oh my goshhh I’m so excited that you reacted to this!😭

also the b sides to this album are FREAKING gorgeous !!! generous plamstroke, batabid, domestica, foot soldier and mother heroic 🥺

Commenting now before listening...love this album that much...

Amazing reaction as always , i had a lot of fun watching , would love to see a Medulla reaction , Bjork just goes insane in that album , youll see

At last aN AWESOME björk álbum reaction! Loved it

Great job Ben! keep up the good work. There is something about you that is very charming! Love the moustache and the mullet! Bjork is one of the few artists that makes music that initially might not be easy to listen to. However, the more you listen to her the more you love her. Each record is different from the next.

I'm so happy you´re doing Bjök

The best album ever made nothing can ever top it. For the next björk review, pls do Vulnicura!!

In sonic symbolism Bjork talks about ‘vespertine’ as an album of some sort of healing balm . She was touring for years loosing her stability so she started longing for domestic life & love / partner. Also she discovered she can work on a laptop making music so instead of going to the studio , she worked from home giving herself space for the right time to sing .. when she really ‘felt’ it , she recorded .. That’s why the vocals are so special.

Aaaaah my favorite album! So Vespertine has been described as a very introverted album, where it’s about the universe inside every person. Some of the album themes are intimacy, love and eroticism, which parallels to Björks at the time new relationship with artist Matthew Barney. For example Cocoon obviously a very erotic song, and Pagan Poetry a love song about her commitment to a partner (Also both music videos for those songs, where controversial for showing nudity and blurred sex scenes). Musically the album is described by Björk as a winter album, where she decided to use harp, strings, celesta, clavichord and glitchy electronic microbeats to emulate the cold, white and crispy snow. A reason for it’s maybe darker domestic nocturnal sound and lyrics can be translated to the title og the album. Since Vespertine is an adjective for something active/occuring in the evening. Again probably my fave Björk album. Excited to see your reaction and how you feel about her other albums like the house, jazz and exotica influences of Debut, the big city music vortex that is Post and Vulnicura (second fave album) which you could say is the sequel to the love story told here Vespertine ✨

Vespertine is my all time favourite album. It's about intimacy. And Pagan Poetry is about losing yourself in a relationship. I think the "Us" in Heirloom is her being pregnant🙈 Cocoon is pretty much about her pregnancy.

Love your reactions 🥰❤️

I saw her Perform this live in NYC and her Icelandic choir was there. Anyways it was a top 10 life experience.

Me divertí mucho viéndote anoche y disfrutando de Bjork con mis auriculares antes de dormir 👽

I’m loving all your videos - really exciting to watch someone experience so many albums I love for the first time. Very jealous for a lot of these. Id love to see you react to the most recent Roisin Murphy album ‘Roisin Machine’. Best album of 2020 and best disco album of the last 10 years according to me :) I think it fits in the taste of the albums you’ve been reacting to lately. Also. Bjork’s best album (for me) is Vulnicura but recommend being strong mentally to listen - it’s a hard listen. Pagan Poetry for me is about coming out of your shell for a new lover after being hurt. If you think of poetry by pagans (think Aneid, Homer, Odyssey), it’s very complicated. ‘On the surface simplicity but the darkest elements of me is pagan poetry’. And at the end she exclaims ‘i love him. This time I’m gonna keep me to myself but he makes me want to hand myself over’ so she’s talking (me for) about how she wanted to be cool and simple and easy to love and be the person she thinks her lover wants her to be; but at the end, she can’t help but be herself with her lover.

i think pagan poetry is about how she has desires that are beautiful but incomprehensible, just like pagan poetry is

Probably my fav album of all time. I wish I could live in it

Vespertine is the best Christmas/Holiday album of all time.

The noice on Frosti is the sound of Björk walking in the snow.

Yes I’ve been looking forward to this one. Aurora is by far my favourite such a great song

Yess vespertine along with utopia are my fav albuns by her💗💗

Narratively you should react to Vulnicura next asVespertine was the begging of a relationship and Vulnicura is the end of it, but a reaction to her debut titled Debut would be great as well!!

YAY would recommend post or medúlla next, loved ur reaction

for the next album i would love to see you react to Vulnicura or Post, i'm not a Bjork expert but i think Post is her most pop friendly album (maybe?), and vulnicura is straight up sad i love it

You hear the walking in snow at the beginning of track number 7 "Aurora" ;)

Her new album is out at the end of September. Hope you review it!!! I can't wait to hear what you think about it!!!! I'm excited myself. I love love love Vespertine. I think i would put it in my top 20 albums of all time. Beautiful.

That noise in Aurora is her recording herself walking through the snow....just beautiful.

This album is definitely up there in my list of favorites! The first time I listened to it in full, I was hiding from embarrassment after making a complete fool of myself while being drunk the night before. I was freshly away from my family for the first time after moving across country, and I felt so alone and like everything was just terrible... But then I chose to listen to this while I hid under my covers that day, and it helped me feel some peace. It's Not Up To You and Undo have such a special place in my heart. 💚

love love love your reactions! i suggest you to react to some of her iconic music videos,: all is full of love, pagan poetry and bachelorette!

A strangers mother made me a forever long scarf because I admired his at the time this album came out. A memory I cannot forget. I want to go back.

2 months ago my brother and me were in Iceland. Bjork gaved some concerts during that time in Reykjavik. We were enjoying one of them. It was a dream come true. On the Streets Bjork passed our way. I couldn't think clearly. The day before there were Polarlights over the sky. I was listening to "Aurora". The Trip was kinda surreal. so emotional. We will be in Berlin for a concert this summer. Hopefully... 😊 She is amazing.

Fav album of all time ! You must watch the videos form this album, they are out of this world. Next stop Medulla (super weird and such a delight, pretty sure you will like it)

Plot twist : Harm Of Will's lyrics are written by Harmony Korine. One of the best albums ever conceived ❤️

Vespertine is my favorite bjork's álbum .so intense,so sad,so confidence. Greetings from lima, Perú

This album really hit me at the time, I always was a big Björk fan to begin with but this one truly made my spirit leave me. Such beauty throughout. Will you be going back to Lykke Li: Wounded Rhymes Anniversary Edition and So Sad So Sexy? I noticed you enjoy quirky sounds and musical moments which Lykke brings everytime. Hope you do more of her albums. Really enjoy your reactions.

I'd love to hear you react to Medulla for your next Bjork album!

Love this but still waiting on that Bratz rock angelz album reaction 🥺

MY FAV ALBUM OF ALL TIME OMFG LOVE U

This album is a masterpiece. Look up how she made it, also there is a live show that is one of the most beautiful shows I’ve ever seen in my life. You definitely should watch it.

i think the next one should be Post...but i'm really excited to see your reaction of Medulla (her craziest album)

the best album ever made. it cannot get better than this one. you can listen to it a thousand times and it never gets boring. celestial!

SHE ARRANGED AND PRODUCED MOST OF THE ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE TALENT!!!!

React to Jessie Ware's Whats Your Pleasure? !

her vocals and production on this was way beyond

This is my favorite album by Bjork!!!! so wintery and so introvert and sensual!

The quintessential art pop album

love the reaction ❤️ but the real question is where did ian get you this shirt??? best present ever 🎁

👍 This album is my favorite from her. ❄ From beginning to end. I ♡ "Frosti". ⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪

you should definitely do vulnicura and utopia next, such good albums

She created the instrument for frosti by herself

I would recommend you next time listening to Vulnicura and then Utopia. Vespertine is the beginning of her love story with her ex-husband at that time, Vulnicura represents the breakup of that relationship, and then Utopia represents the healing process of this broke up, listening to them in a row is just life changing

I'm waiting for Volta and Biophillia reactions.

Eeeyyy! Love these reaction videos. 😆 Can you react to the Avenue Q soundtrack?

This is always cool to watch a reaction video of bjork for the first time. Just a tip : for listen a bjork album into the best condition : use a headphone ^^ specially with vespertine for all the tiny sound. :) the best track for me : it’s not up to you and unison. And I have my eyes full of tear of pleasure ^^ the choir give a lot of emotion. / Ok , vidéo watch. I am realy you like it ^^ when I see you I say to myself hmmm maybe this man love hard rock music .havre not going to love vespertine. I was wrong ^^ one day listen with headphone ^^ sorry my language I am French ^^ I hope you are going to reaction to all album of bjork.

React to Ten Love Songs by Susanne Sundfør please 💝 it’s a masterpiece

this album is about s3x, love and intimacy. it's erotic, moody, experimental (she recorded sounds at her house to creat some beats, like the ice cracking in aurora. according to her, she "did 80% of the beats on Vespertine and it took me three years to work on that album, because it was all microbeats")

Watch them do this album live "Vespertine Live at the Royal Opera House"

Vespertine is probably her best work to day. It's about love, pain and ties. My favorites are "Heirloom " and "Unison", which is perfect to end this great album

You should do her album Post next

OH MY GOD FINALLY 😭😭 IM SO HAPPY

pagan poetry is one of my favorite songs ever

This is my favourite album ever. Handsdown.

Vespertine is the best album of all time, it's so genius in a different level... My favorite song is Harm of Will, i've heard it's about she losing her virginity with the person she fell in love. Björk is the best artist of all time too, she's beyond genius, she's crazy(in a good way).

"He is still inside me" LOL

You're right. You can not compare homogenic with vespertine, they're too different. Actually no one can compare a Bjork's album even with another Bjork's album cause each one is a particular and unique piece of art.

Pagan poetry is one of my favourite songs of all time 🤍

Best álbum ever!

Yes! Thank you for that. Very pleasant reaction to watch indeed. Not sure if you’re keen on music reactions but if you enjoy WTF moments (aka “don’t get emotional” challenge) I recommend these: Bjork - All is Full of Love (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u0cS1FaKPWY.html), Susanne Sundfor - When the Lord - (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1oWFCkcdmZI.html), Sigur Ros - Vidrar Vel Til Loftarasa (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-akYuy2FMQk4.html), iamamiwhoami - Sever & Drops (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-e7zyF2QJ1BA.html & ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hw0JmSRMXkY.html), Massive Attack - The Spoils (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8r31DFrFs5A.html) or Live with Me (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AIIovpUQiro.html). Though, if you prefer live performances try these: Susanne Sundfor - Silicone Veil (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MCklozgfgq8.html), Goldfrapp - Moon in Your Mouth (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g1tAtqgQiVY.html), Antony and The Johnsons - Cripple and the Starfish (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cvQxmmbUefY.html) or Hope There’s Someone (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-avabPY3XgRc.html). Album-wise… Bat for Lashes’ “The Haunted Man” (weird mix of Bjork and Purity Ring) and Lykke Li’s “so sad so sexy”.

You need to react to post it’s a heavier more techno, electronic, and a little heavy metal vibe def top 3 albums in her discography
