Hit and miss by Björk's standards, but those last two tracks are absolutely stellar.

I go back and forth on whether this is my favorite or Homogenic. This is the album that really got me into Björk.

I think I still prefer Homogenic, although in the past year or so, this has been the album of hers that I listened to by far the most. It's a kind of a quiet, intimate, emotional, introverted masterpiece.

Favourite track:

These. Though I should clarify that when I say it's her second best I mean behind Post, not Homogenic.
