Varied in her writing style Bjork once again sings dark quirky songs like "Violently Happy", to the more up beat like "like Someone in Love." There in as even mix of both and the track list plays into one another well enough to be enjoyed from start to finish in one sitting. On a scale of one to ten (ten =best) I would rate it a strong 7.8, almost an 8. A good mix, well sung. Typical Bjork vacals help to keep this one near my cd player. Which is also why it doesn't rate any higher. As good as and catchy as the music is, when you can not understand the vocals in some places? Well it still sounds good but have a couple spots where I still have no idea what the vocals are. Fortuneatly for Bjork and this album the music makes up for it and I myself listen more to the music any how. S
If your only knowledge of Bjork is the infamous swan dress spectacle, then you need to start your Bjork collection with this CD. Although her first solo effort, this album was by no means Bjork's first attempt at music. By age 10, Bjork was a popular little singer in her Icelandic hometown. She went on to perform in groups until finally launching her own sound in 1993. This album is everything the reviews raved about at the time: fresh, exciting, timeless, energetic, fun... At this time, Bjork was not mainstream in the US, so her sound was truly unique to many of her American listeners. Try listening it to it all the way through the first time, then listen a second time - choosing the songs that struck you the most. Before long, her voice will resound in your head, and you'll Google up a storm trying to find out exactly what she's saying... (note: Bjork improvises a lot, which is really fun to hear). Starting with this album is a good way to get to "know" Bjork before you dive into the stuff that only her intense fans really love. Have you always wanted to try sushi, sky diving, or buying a Bjork CD? Try the CD. It's safer, more satisfying, and won't come back to bite you the next day.Read full review

Bjork is one of a kind. There is nothing you can really compare her voice or music too. Debut is a perfect first solo album and it's as good as anything she's done to date. If you get a chance track down her music videos for Human Behavior, Venus As A Boy, Big Time Sensuality, and Violently Happy. They're wonderful. 5 Huge Stars
Amazing
