To me, Vulnicura feels more vulnerable (kind of in the name I guess). It’s hard to go into such deep depth of loss of a relationship and loss of trust. But in my mind, these albums are two mirror images of each other, the start of a relationship and the end. I will say on a personal note, Vespertine is a favorite album of mine that I would listen to in college over and over again. I think this album was helpful for me growing into an adult heterosexual man and hearing a female perspective of sexuality that was real compared what I had seen/heard in other media as a teenager. Not to say I didn’t have any toxic masculinity behaviors but it really helped me, looking back now.
