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.

This is probably Björk's chilliest album, but it is as masterful as anything else she does.
