This is a difficult album to write about. Actually, all of the albums are pretty difficult to write about, because writing about music is hard, yo. But this felt like one continuous track that lasted for over an hour.

I guess this doesn't technically qualify as a concept album, but each track seemed to melt into the next one, to the point where I couldn't tell when one song ended or when one song started. I have a feeling this is one of those albums that benefits from repeated listenings. 

Tomorrow, Bjork! I can't wait. 

RATING: 4/5
