Out of Bjorks near perfect first 4 albums, this and Post are tied for the best. Bjork does a multitude of things, from dance songs to ballads and they all work. The songs that incorporate the horn section (Aeroplane, The Anchor Song) are probably the best, and i think it's a shame she didn't do more songs like this.
Oh yeah, and as for the version which included "Play Dead" while that is a pretty great song, I feel it doesn't make as strong a closer as The Anchor Song.

Excellent debut (well, not counting the 1977 kid album nobody counts). I do prefer Post and Homogenic, but it was still a great way to reintroduce herself post-Sugarcube

Not quite as good as her 1977 debut, that was a masterpiece.
But seriously, I used to hate this, but I enjoy it now. It's some cool stuff.

Her worst album, but I'm a big Bjork fan so I still have some love for it.

This, pretty much, though I do very slightly prefer Post. Both outstanding albums.
