- Reading: Is he right about Bjork?
>The first impression with Bjork's music is always of something terribly trivial, obnoxious and, ultimately, boring. Just like the Beatles before her, she has made trivial pop music enhanced with studio wizardry. It's the studio wizardry, not the music, that people buy. And the tv-friendly image, of course. We must admit she has been very good at absorbing and recycling styles and techniques of modern music in order to impose her personality. If we wanted to analyze Bjork’s career, Madonna could indeed be taken as a model. In fact, Bjork’s strategy (rather than her sound) is the same as Madonna’s. If Madonna is the symbol of alternative, provocation, affront, in a word the punk aesthetics, then Bjork is the symbol of mainstream, alignment, compliance, in a word the return to middle-class values after the punk movement. Bjork does not upset the public, she entertrains it. Anybody who thinks Bjork is a genius should try to listen at least to Solex. Let your ears, not publicity, judge.

undortunately very true

No, he is wrong.
Sort of. Her first album was good but the proceeding albums are sort of like a lesbian 3 some
>says Madonna is more alternative and punk than Bjork
hm... ""no""
just realized something
scaruffi's attitude towards pop music is the exact same as mine towards neoclassical music
that's interesting
if only he didn't think Bob Dylan and Faust were good then I'd probably think he was more OK
>>64064299
Debut's her worst IMO.

not even in your opinion, its the widely held opinion, it's ridiculious to think that album is her crowing acheivment, it was just her mimicking other trip hop acts of the time, she created a whole new sound with Post

Is this real? Did he actually use phrase "studio wizardry" in a serious review?
