I've only heard Cosmogony from a live recording I recently downloaded and it is actually the only song of the new ones that has brought tears to my eyes.

Then you should certainly have a listen to the official recording Cliqoutt! Please tell me what you think

Sorry but I don't want to hear anything new from Björk until I have the album in my hands

i probably be the worst bjork fan ever but i hate this song, the medulla like motuh bass, the melodic line which look like religious modern song, it's so first degree

So the new album is streaming on NPR...

Go ahead and give me a listen and tell me what you think! I like a lot of the songs... but it's a more difficult album and may take a few more listens.

i'mmmm ssoooo fan of the...fan remixes i love ridu's mixes, biophilia is so annoying, but i'm waiting for the deluxe manual, haha i'm a jerk, buy something just cos of bjork...then i make my critique

Me likey Biophilia.

I love Dark Matter, Thunderbolt, and Mutual Core!

I can't stop listening to Crystalline. Dark Matter is great, too.

Björk did a great show at Later with Jools Holland. Check it out!

oh my! i could buy björk's house two years ago for almost one million dollars! and it's really her house i saw some pics on the web of her family in there! i like this sort of stalker information, even if i'll die to see her brooklyn retreat...

A lovely little cottage!

I really love her. I bought an iPod just so I could play Biophilia.

haha, no way! What do you think about it?

I love it, so far. I'm having a pretty hard time understanding the Hollow, Solstice, and Mutual Core apps.

Well the Hollow app is just a video, if I understood correctly.

If you tap on the Biophilia logo when watching the video, it takes you to the 'Hollow Machine'.

I love the idea of Biophilia. I love the idea of a more acoustic sounding Björk album, I love how each song serves a different purpose, with a musical element and scientific process associated with each, I love that she uses apps and compositions to bring these out, and I ADORE the lyrical images and themes and subjects, even if they're written with 'Björk grammar'. I just don't really think the actual songs are all that great.

Really, it's the kind of album I would generally obsess over, but a lot of the songs generally aren't particularly deep, interesting, or even simply catchy enough to do that. Her vocal melodies are often really impossible to follow and the instrumentation is crazy sparse and repetitive. This makes me HATE the fact that I don't own an iPad, because I see how its probably a better soundtrack than an album, and, looking at videos, it's clear that the sparseness and repetition of the instrumentation is kind of essential to Biophilia's interactivity.

I still love the concept enough that I'm giving it a lot of listens, and I do like some of the songs, even if I know that they're flawed. I think the lyrical imagery and general poetic themes of Biophilia helps a lot here. Mutual Core (which is great out of the album's context), Crystalline, Virus, Sacrifice, Cosmogony, and even Dark Matter (the song about dark matter has no lyrics! of course! the song is about what is not said) all stand out to me. Thunderbolt's Tesla bass is also pretty cool (pretty coil?).

These songs also have the coolest names.

Dark Matter is more about what's unexplained than what it not said (she speaks in gibberish), as Dark Matter is phenomena with an unknown cause.
