With so many Bjork albums on the list, this seems a glaring omission. It's the best of the bunch. Whilst typically creative and interesting, it is also very enjoyable to just listen to without having to 'work' to get below the surface.

Yeah I'm not sure why this wasn't on the list instead of some of the other bjork albums because this seems to be one of the most popular and, IMO, one of her best albums. Still has the trademark weirdness and everything but it's just catchy enough to have something to latch onto for me.

It is ridiculous to suggest Bjork deserves a fifth album on this list. Her output is not radically different from album to album. This suggestion gets 1 star - not as a reflection of the music but because of the damage such self-indulgent fandom does to the variety of the list.

One of the many beautiful albums of Bjork. Full of weird electronic pop songs. Highlights are Joga and Bachelorette.

I said this more than once when reviewing Bjork's other albums that made the list - she's never made a bad album. I might say that we didn't really need to hear another. But I would gladly trade Homogenic for one of others that made the list. It feels a bit more grounded and less challenging than some of her later works. But musically, it's still incredibly rich and creative. Happy to hear it today.
Fave Songs: Jóga, Bachelorette, Hunter, Pluto, All Neon Like

The more I listen to her, the more I like her stuff. Not sure why I never listened to her before, but I dug this album more than I though.

I can't listen to a lot of Bjork in one sitting - maybe it's too intense or something - but this is an excellent album that should have displaced one of the other Bjork albums on the 1001 list.

Björk isn’t really my taste but this album was very clearly influential as the sound on this reminded me of several modern artists styles. The instrumentals ranging from orchestra to electronic sounds while having the emotional lyricism is something you see more now than ever. Bjork was ahead of her time however I still find her singing style hard to enjoy. This album is good, and probably better than other ones on the original list but still not really for me. 5.6/10

I had hoped to hear this album in the project! So, I was glad to hear it here, but had to agree that the others chosen for the 1001 book were all a bit more interesting for one reason or another. However, it and Björk are still magnificent!

It was pretty good but I doubt I would listen to it again.
I also don't think this list needed any more Bjork. It baffles me why some people think this lists needs more and more of the same artists. There are plenty of underappreciated artists and albums out there that are doing some innovative things.

Yeah, that is Björk doing her Björk thing. I respect the artist and the art but I've never been able to get that into her. The stridency of the vocals gets challenging to listen to at times. And I'm not sure I find all that much to differentiate it from the others of her albums that have made this list.

90s-era Björk was, in my opinion, the best Björk – this LP, much like 'Post' before it, is a great balance between the singer's more esoteric influences and grounding in more traditional instrumentation rather than 100% synth-scapes. This could be attributed to the proximity to her time with The Sugarcubes, but in any case it yields a fun, experimental album that pulses with the club influences of the era while remaining undeniably Björk.

Saw this labeled as having ‘connected art pop to electronic dance music’ which sure okay

You either appreciate BJORK or you don't, you either understand her or you don't understand her, and I'm not the first. I've listened to a lot of her music trying to find the taste for it without success. Her music is a lethargy for me, I think it's meant to be listened to in the background as relaxing music, however, her phrasing is repetitive and ends up tiring me.
The good thing? The frequency of some songs.
1.5 stars

I don't think we needed more Bjork, Homogenic has its moments (Bachelorette is great) but to me nothing different to her other offerings, 2.

Bjork is just not my cup of tea. I don’t think she’s a terrible artist just not something that I enjoy and that’s ok!

lol, Bjork was one of the most over-represented artists in the original list. She doesn't NEED any more exposure. Who would be so sad as to add ANOTHER of her albums? ffs. Post was great, but this is getting a 1/5 just out of spite.
