I have to agree with Nick. The new Bjork album seems nice, but not
spectacular. The album is cohesive (except for Matmos' shit remix that
shouldn't have been put on at the end), sounds pretty, but doesn't have
an emotional rush that her earlier albums give me. I also can't pick
out any standout songs, or feel any individuality in the songs either
(yet). After one listen of Homogenic, i could easily discern Joga from
Bachalorette and All is Full of Love, but I can't discern any track from
any track on the new album (save the shit Matmos remix). It also seems
WAY more laid back. Either way, it's a good record, but not worth the
Bjorkish amounts of hype.
