björk is like one of those quirky weird artsy girls except her work in engulfed in sincerity. This could have easily gone the route of pretentiousness rather quick. On paper, this probably IS pretentious. And yet, björk delivers an otherworldly gateway with one foot grounded in our reality, like some sort of musical demigod. As someone who is sensitive to certain vocal styles and pitches, her singing doesn't always work for me. There's at least one song on the album that I appreciate much more as a work of art than a piece of entertainment. The music she's working with should not be understated, either. If anything, she weaves her voice between arrangements that perfectly match it. Tracks like Big Time Sensuality and Human Behavior lift her voice with groovy riffs, while others, like Venus is a Boy and Come to Me gently nudge you through an alien landscape. This is a phenomenal debut album that will stick in your head.
