Bjork: Every Album Ranked From Worst To Best

8. Biophilia

Biophilia is what happens when an artist tries to go further than the idea of an "album" and put out an "art project." Constructed as an album exploring links between nature, music, and technology, the album was partially composed on a tablet and released on a series of apps. 

In addition to these gimmicks several new instruments were constructed for use on the album, one of which being a tesla coil heard on the song "Thunderbolt." The focus on these "new instruments" bogs down the album, not allowing it to evolve very far past its novelty instrumentation. 

There is a lot of what people may call "stereotypical Bjork" if they had never listened to her before - plodding songs about nature with odd time signatures that ultimately go nowhere. This isn't the album to introduce to someone who may want to get interested in her music. 

Despite songs such as "Crystalline" and "Hollow," which stand apart from the crop as genuinely interesting compositions, Biophilia is an album that ultimately goes nowhere.
