ok time has come to discover the good and less good things about the new bjork album. As a whole album for me is 50% Homogenic & 50% Medùlla because it has kind of hip hop beats but all quite noisy. Earth intruders is slightly different from i tunes version; the other "timbaland" track is Innocence and it's one of the best things bjork ever made; it's seems like old Prince or Michael Jackson stuff. Eminem, M.Elliott etc will feel ashamed of not having written a track like this.
To all Homogenic fans (like me) the great surprise is Declare Indipendance that make Pluto sounds like pop music. It's weird tekno with bjork screaming and speaking in CSS-style.
Another great piece of work is second song Wanderlust, very Mark Bell-Warp sound. The whole record has reference to old '90 techno (the end of Wanderlust for example). Somewhere the album is boring and the thing I DON'T like are the duets with Antony cause she doesn't need to be supported from other singers in what she does; somewhere else music reminds that of Drawing restraint 9 ost, but i'm not so a fun of that sound.
Anyway it's a great work, and I don't expect to hear nothing better this year so for me is
8.5/10 (for now, I admit I listened only once) reccomend the purchase it's worth your money

Yes Cansei de Ser Sexy. Actually the vocalist (if there is any in that group) looks very Bjorkish

boring album. i look forward to hearing a high quality rip, though, since there are some interesting sounds on it.

whether or not you're being sarcastic, i agree with that. i hope an instrumental version of this album is released, though i strongly doubt it.

i don't know how in love with the "detroit sound" i am as much as into the cool basslines and stuff that sometimes come with it...the melodies on volta don't really do much for me so i hone in on how bored i am of bjork's aimless wailing. i look at most music that way...there are sounds (a fancy bjork screech?), and then there are the ways iin which they are used, and if they aren't used in a way that interests me, i can't make myself care. maybe this is a narrow way of looking at music but i'm a narrow person.
