- A multifaced break-up album filled with heart wrenching electronic production by Arca and the beautiful Vespertine like Björk string arrangements and vocal effort.

I love this reaction as always!!
- Stonemilker and quicksand are both entirely produced by Bjork
- History of touches is a song that depicts the exact moment of the death of her relationship
- quicksand was also an ode to her mother who had a very serious illness at that time, Bjork was kind of comparing her suffering with her mothers even tho it was a different kind of pain
I kind of enjoy your private reactions more than the livestream, the chat had amazing insights, but I think it’s best for your first experience to be alone with the music
Bjork released a podcast a few months ago called Sonic Symbolism, where she did episodes deep diving into the process of creating of each of her albums. I highly recommend it!
Speaking on the song Atom Dance, Bjork revealed that the song was in fact the earliest song created for Vulnicura…because it was actually intended to be part of Biophilia years prior!
I think the sound of this album for me is a combination of all the best things from Dancer in the Dark, Homogenic and Vespertine.
It took me 8 years to finally enjoy and understand Vulnicura! I was probably 19 when Björk released it but I just couldn't even fathom the structure of the tracks, the strings I thought sounded the same. I just couldn't relate to that era of Björk at the time... I guess I was not mature enough to listen to it's secrets
Notget is FIRE. I will die on this hill
Family is so strong✨
I find it a masterpiece. This whole album is like a cinematographic score.
@@mar1812 yesss✨
Finally! Shout out to everyone who saw the livestream, but couldn't watch, and ultimately had to wait forever for the video. The livestreams are fun. Stonemilker, Lionsong, and Atom Dance are favs. Mouth Mantra is so propulsive with those sick beats, cinematic strings, and skittering electronic sounds. It's giving me late 90s-early 00s international neo-noir thriller (Oldboy, Infernal Affairs) meets Requiem for a Dream.
Notget has an absolutely amazing music video
THIS

She began seriously having issues with her voice during her Volta tour..Imo her voice was pretty shot because of how she was performing songs like pluto, declare independence, innocence, vertebrae, etc.
Thanks man! Now I am also ready for that The Knife reaction.
Fav tracks: Everything but specially Family and Mouth Mantra.
I have a huge emotional connection to this album, its her most emotionally vulnerable and musically refined to me…
it’s hard for me to skip any song, each of them are cathartic and help to deal with a different emotion,
it also tells a coherent story, you have a sense of the emotional journey, and in the end there is a sense of healing.
lionsong, mouth mantra and atom dance put me in such closed state of connection with music, and history of touches almost always makes me cry, the openness of the lyrics reflecting on the end, and that sound of shattering emotion
“I wake you up in the night feeling this is our last time together, therefore sending all the moments, we’ve been together, every single archive, compressed into a second, await us here when I wake you up”
I really enjoyed utopia, some tracks there are extremely interesting and transportive, and deal with similar emotions, but in utopia she seems more aggressive and less open than here
Fossora might be my third favorite after vulnicura and vespertine, it only grew on me, it’s so mature and still musically spectacular, maybe you can revisit and rank her albums in the future
I am still delusional that i missed the live stream of this . . . that being said , Thank you for the upload , Lugga ! _/\_
can you in the future set an event notification for your live reactions , please ? :--)
I loved your review from start to finish. Family is definitely out of this world. Have you listened to the live version in Mexico city? It's simply mindblowing.
oh, I saw the notification about the live and it made me look forward to the video haha
by the way, nice haircut lugga
@@t1ag0.feRRe1Ra thx :)
late AF reply - so happy you like Mouth Mantra, it's easily one of her most interesting tracks ever but clearly not for everyone :) also has some SICK live versions.
Family is another career standout yeah!!
Love that you have Hollow Knight music as the background on the final thoughts. When i reached the, if I remember correctly, Path of Pain, the music of that area remember me this album. The in crescendo strings, the suffering, the eternal try again and again evoke me Black Lake.
Then in Fossora, the clarinets tracks remember me the music of Hollow Knight fungi infested area, both composers choose that sound as the sound of subterranean mushrooms. It must be some precedent but i dont know. Continuing with video game music, also some Fossora tracks remind me other subterranean, alien game: Metroid. Trolla-Gabba for me would fit perfectly in Super Metroid. I noted that on my listening, the sound palette of Fossora, themed as a "subterranean" album, match the sound vibes of other subterranean ambient projects like Hollow Knight and Metroid.
I'm not a big Bjork fan but I'm looking forward to the next Swans reaction video
Did you just say she put her whole bjüssy into this one lmao 😭😭😭 I knew I loved you
Theres a version thats called Vulnicura Strings - its string versions off all the songs and clears up a lot about the electronics discussion. Also pushes to the limits of what can be done with strings - i had no idea strings can do those beats
HAPPY BIRTHDAY VULNICURA!
He's so fine
hey, still waiting (kinda impatiently) for Utopia by Björk... 🤓
I'm not sure I like your lives reactions in terms of an album :( It feels so messed up that you are in the middle of a song but reading a comment that has nothing to do with the album itself :( It's nice for a song, but for me, you have to be really connected to listen to an entire album and it feels like you didn't connect sometimes :/ but anyways, thank u for this, Vulnicura is amazing for me and I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🖤
^ this! wasn't too fond of the live stream either... too much distraction coming from the comments section and not enough concentration on the tracks/music. otherwise lovely review as always! 😇
If you like ANOHNI’s work you should react to HOPELESSNESS is a very beautiful masterpiece! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
heyy, did u upload a weyes blood reaction?? I swear I saw the notification not so long ago but the video wasn't in your account when I looked for it
still going to upload it, I streamed that reaction a while ago, going to be on YT in the next couple of days :)
@@luggareviews nice :D
I'll take a "leap back" to Vespertine over whatever was going on with Volta and Medulla, both of which I disliked. Thanks for posting this. I think I need to give this a true listen on my own again.
Finish reacting Fiona Apple's discography, it's a short and amazing discography.
Everything needs its time
Aren´t you a little late to the party?
So am I not allowed to listen to this for the first time and share it with other people?
Meh
Volta and Vulnicura are her weakest albums, where with on Vulnicura she is vocally she's strained and uninspired, and production suffocating. But it goes to show how great an artist she is when her worst albums are still quite something in comparison to most releases out there.
this is wrong lol
Nobody agrees
@@iethergy luckily I'm not a nobody 👸🏻
@@daipearmain you cant count as someone agreeing with you dumbass
