New Reviews: Bjork’s ‘Biophilia’ Echoes Natural Phenomena

By | The Rolling Stone Blog – Tue, Oct 11, 2011 1:10 PM EDT

In this week's slate of Rolling Stone reviews, David Fricke raves about Björk's latest album, Biophilia,
a multi-media project full of "eerie details" in which "human desires
and foibles echo natural phenomena." Also, Will Hermes digs the
"beautifully weary" tunes on Ryan Adams' new record, Ashes and Fire, and Nick Catucci pans the overly formulaic third album from Evanescence.
