Huge fan of The Sugarcubes! I definitely have Debut and Post in my collection. For whatever reason, I lost track and didn’t keep up with her. It’s been on my list to go listen to the albums I haven’t heard. I have only listened to Homogenic and Vespertine once. Seeing the ranking you have, I’ve got some listening to do!
Before settling down to read this I thought I’d choose one of her albums to listen while I read - chose Vespertine if you can believe it! As long as her voice can give me goosebumps (looking at you Pagan Poetry) that’ll be the era!
So happy to see you rank my favorite musician's albums! Although my list would look slightly different — 'Homogenic' at the top, 'Biophilia' at the very bottom — your ranking overall does Björk tremendous justice. I especially appreciate you calling out "Jóga," my favorite song of hers.
Really well done, Matt, and I think the only change I would make to reflect my experience would be to swap Vulnicura and Debut. As for eras, that run from Debut to Medulla is a wonder.

Excited to hear your thoughts post-listens. Thanks!

An excellent choice as musical tone-setter. 😊

I also have a *lot* to say about her music videos if you ever wanna collaborate on writing about those; you and i both wrote about her in our first week on Substack! https://lavendersound.substack.com/p/bjork-hit-the-reset-button-10-years
Reading your work here was a great way to start my morning ✨
Thanks so much!! 😊
Great list, Matt. I think I’d have a very similar ranking - maybe shuffling around 2-4, depending on the mood - but you nailed it.
Thanks Marty! 🙏😊
