    Uneven but exceptionally inventive. [Sep 2005, p.92]

    Haunting as the results may be, they are distinctly lacking in Bjork's own musical personality and her greatest asset: her inimitable voice. [8 Sep 2005, p.112]

    What the crap is this? [#17, p.94]
  4. The sad thing is, even at her most mainstream, Bjork's always been truly artful, but, in this case, she's merely painted a vulgar picture.

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

    breathtaking abstract music. "ambergris march" and "storm" are the highlights.
