WHAT IS HAPPENING ?



we are now in the lead up to the music event of 2007 and the first little snatch of it is anything but what it should be

earth intruders, the first song to appear from bjork's new album volta is so boring. bad beats and bad lyrics. if this is bjork's return to the dance floor, i am not sure who will be filling it. i wonder where she has been dancing? the song 'in the musicals' from selmasongs (the soundtrack to dancer in the dark) was a much more interesting dance song, and possibly the last good song that hinted at dance bjork has created, apart from maybe triumph of a heart, which was good, but not a triumph

the song lacks any of the urgency it should have regarding it's content, and it is expressed in such a trite manner. gone is all the subtlety of yesteryear and we are given a slap in the senses with american influence overload, right down to her pronunciation of shooter

who would trade matmos for timberland? that's like swapping your Y3 trainers for some timberland boat shoes. bring back drew and mc and zeena, pioneers of the trade, for which you once wore the crown, bjork

fingers crossed this is just a hiccup in what could be amazing. or that the whole album is available as a soft pink truth remix
