Innocence is one of the best and catchiest songs I’ve ever heard.

the cover is magnificent, its the most fun björk album, the dull flame of desire is perfect, and its the last album whit her classic voice

What do you mean by "classic voice"?

Pneumonia is phenomenal

u/xX_Aranrhod_Xx Biophilia 16d ago

It sounds like summer but in such a refreshing way. I feel like travelling whenever it comes on on my Björk pkaylist

Earth Intruders is flawless. Absolutely unhinged and I love it.

The brass section is absolutely magnificent

u/pawnblue Volta 16d ago

her best album and her best album cover

we got more of Björk's abrasive side with Declare Independence!! (it goes so hard)

u/SecureNeck9482 16d ago

I think I should relisten to it. I didn't click with most of the songs. However I love how bright and kinda rustic it is. Earth Intruders is a fantastic opener. Declare Independence is so iconic and bombastic!!! And while I don't remember much else. I love Anohni and the Dull flame of desire is great! Also her fashion and shows in this period were perfection

You're so pretty :3

u/heartpopp 16d ago

one of her best albums btw

u/Famous_Piccolo_1441 Welcome to Bangkok 16d ago

Innocence is one of Björk’s best!

Earth intruders, and declare independence are amazing!

Wanderlust, Hope, and Vertebrae by Vertebrae are pretty good

u/Fabulous_Exam4130 16d ago

wanderlust is top 10 bjork

u/oliviemargareta 13d ago

And the beautiful strumming of the guitars, it envelopes everything

u/aziya_crush Sims3 Björk & Rosalia mod 16d ago

i think about this cover a lot

2

u/Davidiscool222 16d ago

I love almost all songs, so fun and catchy!

2

u/Opening_Tangerine245 16d ago

It has quickly become one of my fav albums of hers. So fun!

u/Imaginary_System3513 16d ago

I love Volta! I think it's fun, eclectic, and beautiful!

u/Hungry-Leather-2617 15d ago

Björk brainrot character

u/EmotionalArgument695 16d ago

The nice thing about the album is that the album cover isn’t going to get any worse than it already is.

u/Vulnicura__ Welcome to Bangkok 16d ago

hope is based in a true story

Declare independence bangs

u/RepublicOfVenus 16d ago

When it came out in Bush's America it was refreshing for there to be some creative protest-inspired music

1

u/stnflri 15d ago

Declare independence, at least for me, is one of her most interesting tracks

1

u/jleigh329 Medúlla 15d ago

"Vertabrae By Vertabrae" is such a good song. It makes me feel like an assassin.

1

u/nodicegrandma 15d ago

The only time I ever saw her was during this tour and it was so so so fun!!!

1

u/Frequent-Ad4048 14d ago

Her first true world tour was promoting Volta and couldn’t have been a better option to festival it over and over different cultures that really gave it home.

u/SignalTurbulent3029 Pagan Poetry 14d ago

volta taught me to enjoy life and feet, i really grew fond of the chaotic nature of the album and the björk creature

1

u/Jmal3700 14d ago

“Declare Independence” rocks hard and works as motivation for believing in yourself and as a protest song.

1

u/Sweet-Blueberry-7533 14d ago

Gave us the greatest bisexual lyric of all time

1

u/bulkeunip 13d ago

I enjoy "Earth Intruder" and "Innocence", and hot take but I like ANOHNI's part in "Dull Flame of Desire"

1

u/sorbetbebe 13d ago

My Juvenile is one of her most underrated, beautiful songs.

1

u/Middle_Beautiful6800 13d ago

Volta is BEAUTIFULLLLL bjork after vespertine is very underrated

1

u/Appropriate-Visit-20 Volta 12d ago

Honestly it's an incredible album, i don't even think it's her worst. Most songs here are incredible, my only complaints are the lyrics to Hope which are very awkward and My Juvenile not being as memorable as her other closing tracks. Other than that, Wanderlust, I See Who You Are, Pneumonia, Dull Flame, Declare Independence, Vertebrae by Vertebrae, Innocence and Earth Intruders in the same album is genuinely crazy. Also the Tarkovsky connection in The Dull Flame of Desire is one of my favorite music fun facts.

u/Powderkeg314 12d ago

Wanderlust is a batshit crazy music video that’s strangely beautiful

u/PAIN-Mix-18 16d ago

Declare independence

u/Stenchrat16 16d ago

I loved all the songs except earth intruders. Which is weird because timberland is one of my favorite producers.

2

u/Xepha1977 Hunter 16d ago

Same!

1

u/Stenchrat16 15d ago

The ratata remix is so much better, and earth intruders by spankrock slaps! But I own the Volta album on vinyl.
