Even though Bjork has done many great albums since 1995 effort, none have surpassed her spectacular
sophmore attempt. When we start with the immaculate and angry Army Of Me, we are swept away into 45 minutes of beautiful, meaningful pop. As mentioned before, Army Of Me is bitter and angrily poignant, a supposed letter to Bjork's lazy brother. Hyperballad, the next track, is equally brilliant, but in a more subtle and calm manner. But the piece de resistance is It's Oh So Quiet, starting of quiet melodies, and ending up in thunderous jazz verses. Also wonderful is Enjoy, with Bjorks voice soaring, possible more so than her 2001 ethereal Pagan Poetry. One of the best albums of the 90's.
9/10
