I have loved Bjork for a long time, but I was much more familiar with her solo work than this. I think her weirdness always steals the show, but this was enjoyable for more reasons than Bjork.
This entire band is quirky and funny, just like Bjork is. Her voice is really one a kind; she Is constantly taking unexpected pivots with the vocals, making them entirely unique to herself. It's also a very short album, so it's punchy and never overstays its welcome. I didn't enjoy the Bjork lite tracks quite as much, but that's to be expected.
So if you are craving something a little frantic, a little weird, this might be the album for you. We won't be treated to Bjork again for another 100 albums or so, so I am savoring this moment. Particularly in light of the next two entries.
RATING: 4/5
