  1. It's certainly another step forwards and upwards for one of our only real musically emotional geniuses.

    Uneven but exceptionally inventive. [Sep 2005, p.92]
  3. Children moan, accordions groan and Bjork's disembodied voice occasionally growls into earshot. [Sep 2005, p.114]

    Abstract ,this soundtrack creates the space , which is set to be never covered by any human being. It takes an effort to understand, but in return it rips you out of this world, at least for 11 tracks of it. Expand

    This album is beautiful, haunting, powerful, and most of all, essentially Bjork. The best song is Storm by far.
