Post

A brunette woman, wearing a hat and a jacket in the shape of an envelope, with her hair moved by the air, looking at you with a deep sight, is in front of a big variety of pictures principally coloured pink, orange and blue, some of them have Chinese characters and figures of animals.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
