You're the first person I've come across who has said Homogenic wasn't cohesive. I must disagree. Luscent gave a fantastic review of the album. He really understood the narrative and sonic flow of the album. You should check it out. Homogenic revolutionized electronica and along with Madonna's Ray of Light, it helped bring the genre more into the mainstream. Homogenic is pretty flawless and is generally regarded as Bjork's magnum opus. Now that you've completed her classic period (Debut, Post, Homogenic, Vespertine), I would recommend Selmasongs, Fossora, or Volta next. The others are way more experimental.
Fun fact, Thom Yorke once said that Unravel was his favorite song of all time. I see why.
Yep! He even covered it, their appreciation for one another is heartwarming
Unravel is not that good it still baffles me as to why, out of ALL of Björk’s songs, that THAT is his favorite
@@mwshu6045 Unravel is amazing
@@georgeandfriendsadventures5073not compared to every other song of hers lol
@@mwshu6045 I would say the only songs that are close are Bachelorette and Hyper Ballad but ver few of her songs come close to how beautiful Unravel is
All Is Full Of Love original version works so well within the context of the album, but the video version works just as much as a stand alone piece, specially with THOSE visuals. A rare case of an artist that's able to rework their own material to make it more accesible without sacrificing their artistry and creativity.
great reaction! greetings from Chile :)
yeah, you should definitely watch the "All Is Full Of Love" video by Chris Cunningham, an equal masterpiece!
great to see another chilean Björk fan here 🖤

Knowing Björk's work changed my perspective about music for the better. Always glad to see your reactions to her.
Pluto is my alarm clock since 1998
This album is such a masterpiece it is an amazing experience
Fun fact is that Bjork said that all is full of love was a "first vespertine track"
Funny, I sort of view "Alarm Call" as the last Post track! I don't know when it recorded, but it feels more like a Post track than a Homogenic track to me.
@@FindingMadonna I could see that fs
wake up babe, davecher just posted a björk reaction video
Its insane to me how fresh Homogenic sounds despite coming out in the 90’s! I loved your reaction and this album is an absolute classic! I cant wait to see your reaction to Post and the rest of her albums! 💗
I'm a loyal fan since 90's. Your reaction vids about her are very positive and great. Respect 👍
Listen. You’re not crazy. The first time I heard The Seer, I was in the dark with headphones on and I legit saw myself floating into the world of the album. I had adventures. I lived there for a bit. Great music can do that. Vespertine does that to me, parts of Homogenic, Utopia, Biophilia, Fossora. Happens with Radiohead. Hellfire. Godspeed You Black Emperor. Mogwai. Isis. FKA Twigs. I could go on.
Please do go on, I´ve only heard half of these artists and looking for this exact kind of mood 🙏
keep doing these björk reactions man, i love it, do post next.
*listening to 5 Years* "I don't think I've heard Björk rasp like that before"
*Pluto peeks around the corner grinning maniacally•
This is my favorite Bjork album and one of my favorite albums of all time. I never really felt like there was an inconsistency in tone/style aside from maybe "Alarm Call," which feels like it could have been on Post. I highly recommend reacting to that one next - I think you'll see a very clear bridge between Debut and Homogenic. Also, I always associate Homogenic with Madonna's Ray Of Light. They were released within months of each other and explore similar themes and sounds. Obviously the Madonna album is more pop/accessible, but it's an electronic music classic. Really eager to see what you think of it.
You should watch the videos for the songs from this album. Michael Gondry did two: Hunter and Bachelorette. Chris Cunningham did the awesome video for All is Full of Love which is often cited as one of the best music videos ever.
You need to listen to the music video ver of All is Full of Love! I personally love it more than the album ver! ❤
It melts my heart you talking so positive things about my favorite singer
never been so fast
Great reaction, as always. i`m curious what you`ll think about Vulnicura, her `break up album`. Now THAT is cohesive. And massive, as you say about Bachelorette. You will break several times while listening :). Anyway, so glad you`re taking this journey with one of the greatest composers (who also happens to be a `pop star`) in many decades. Enjoy the discovery!
I adore Bjork's first four albums but I still struggle to make it through any of her post-Vespertine albums. I know fans love Vulnicura but I've never been able to connect with it. I think I even prefer Biophilia and Utopia. I've tried so many times, even after going through a rough breakup... and nothing. 😭
@@FindingMadonna not even stonemilker?
@@fishfur9530 I do like that one!
Listen to vulnicura
I was just gonna say, Vulnicura is that perfect intersection of meditative Björk, thorny Björk and heartbreakingly human Björk. It's also a fantastic follow-up to Vespertine.
he has to listen to post first, he never experienced hyperballad, that's a crime
I'm glad you're enjoying the wonderful world of Bjork. You should check out the single release of 'All is full of love' which is different from the album version.
I get what you're saying about the difference between Homogenic and Verspetine, but you are listening to the albums out of chronological order. Basically
with each album she is growing.
All is full of love is like a heavenly brain massage lol
Only just got round to watching this . Great video. Thanks. A lot of people think this is one of her best albums. I’d love to see you react to her whole body of work - honestly I think you should do it chronologically as she evolves so much and changes as a composer but hell … it’s your channel !! Thanks again - I enjoyed it
I am very happy because soon I will have this amazing album in my hands!! I guess I will have it in about one or two weeks 😁😁🤩 I can't wait to own it!!! ❤️ Greetings from Guatemala 🇬🇹🇬🇹
I enjoy your videos. You have a good ear
Nice review! What happened with Post???
Yep I apsolutely agree with you about all is full of love and other tracks. It's magnificent how Bjork can lured you and put your mind in a different world in a couple of minutes
I... don't know who you are, or HOW you even got on my feed, but I'll sub to you! lol Hope you have a great rest of your day
Mind blowing record
yes! alarm call visibility!
Medulla!
This album is a masterpiece!
I LOVE YOU BJORK ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes listen to post
Finally its time
I think the song Joga is about Yoga. The "state of emergency" is the state of mind in which yoga is supposed to put you, a state of full awareness, full consciousness, full lucidity. And also a state of readiness. There's a reference to the "state of emergency" in the "Dhammapada" which is the ancient sanscrit book that contains all the teachings of Buddha. There its said that in that state of mind you awake to the mysteries of the details. The coincidences make sense, the riddle gets solved, and can understand the story of the universe and how it follows "the dot" (the point of everything that seems to be chaos). And in that state of mind all your hurt is healed.
i true Björk fashion, its about her best friend, called jóga
@@wormpielars979 nah, I don't think so. It's about Yoga.
@@NocturneSoul " "Jóga" is dedicated to-and named after-Björk's best friend, Jóga Gnarr Jóhannsdóttir (the wife of former Mayor of Reykjavík Jón Gnarr), whom Björk would usually thank in her album credits." -wikipedia
I dare you... To post a link to a song that you produced or had a hand in making that was even close to being on the level of this album. I'll wait 👀
St Vincent self titled next plzz
My favourite Bjork albums are, Vespertine and Vulnacura Strings.
She changed the phrasing around just a bit when she did All is Full of Love on later tours, and I think it's even better than the album version. ua-cam.com/video/3bI-Yk10GmE/v-deo.html
are you still doing all the albums?? Biophilia? Volta? plzz
pls pls pls react to Spirit of Eden by Talk Talk
if you like post-rock this album was made before post-rock was even a thing and it hasn't aged a day since
Björk was at least 10 years of the time. She still is
you should try sematary! more specifically rainbow bridge 3 he's my favorite slowcore artist
you should react to caroline polacheck
I really can’t agree when he says it’s not a same feeling album . It’s called homogenic for a reason. The album has the same vibe, same sounds . It’s one flavor , very homogenized against Post , her heterogenous album - if we may say so . Homogenic and vespertine are her prime era . Just perfect albums
It's would be nice if you reacts to any Tool's album. Ænima or lateralus are they best records in his discography in my opinion. Great vídeo, i love this björk's album.
alr utopia next
fosorra plis
Please react to the other version of all is full love, it's way better TRUST ME
Caroline polachek desire plssss
Björk is pronounced “B-yerk” … rhymes with work or jerk.
you dont get it
Sooo... u do know her music, and judge.
I feel like this is like watching Jake Paul react to a Muhamed Ali performance. Who cares?
7:23 I love when you talk dirty. Makes me wana do tricks with your kendama!
Change kind of music! Björk Is too much 4 'u!
I've loved most Bjork albums I've heard. I can assure you her music isn't "too much" for me (whatever that means lol)
I'd give this album 4/10. Found most of it boring and emotionless and her vocals are way too high in the mix which are extremely annoying. Alarm Call and Pluto were the only two I liked. IMO this album sits in a redundant space where there's always something much better to listen to conditional on a given mood, if that makes sense. Why even listen to Bachelorette or Joga when you've got Prokofiev or Rachmaninoff?
My other hot take is that I think the follow-up to this album, Selmasongs (2000), is her best album... maybe one of 0.1% of Bjork listeners that think this.
I think you are in a even lower percentage than that my dude. Homogenic is rightfuly one of the best all timers in recorded music history.
If you like Selma songs listen to drawing restraint 9 soundtrack maybe you'll like it too
@@syntheticsilkwood2206 Unfortunately I did. It was the worst album I've ever listened to.
Oof
What did you think of Vulnicura? That once certainly isn't emotionless
