I had seen Bjork on SNL one night and decided I wanted to buy one of her CDs. I didn't listen to any samples of it before I bought it though and that may be why I hated it. It's not that I mind her crazy artistic take on music. I think she is a bold artist who thinks outside the box. What I didn't like is how her growling sounds like a dog and some of her sounds make me cringe. The strain of listening to it makes me tired and gives me a headache.
Brilliant is not a strong enough word for this wonderful CD. It blew me away the first time I heard it. This is a very vocal album on purpose and the closest thing I can compare it to is The Residents Eskimo (which is something you must check out if you love this). The song Ancestors is simply astounding and if you get tempted to turn this off during your first listen please skip down to it. If you listen to Ancestors and still hate it, all I can say is that MTV and Top 40 radio has tainted you, but you're not alone. MTV and Top 40 radio has sadly tainted 99% of the world.
cool!
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
This is definitly one of the best albums I have ever owned, I recommend it for anybody willing to hear a creative and original sound.
