Impressions:<\/span> Ah yes. The uncategorizable Bj\u00f6rk. With that 808 bass and big Zeppelin beat, “Army of Me” is such a big splashy epic opener. Really gets the blood going. What I like about Bj\u00f6rk is that most of her songs each have their own mood, style and set of rules and each song is different like a separate little aural movie. “Your rescue squad is exhausted.” She’s a mad genius or at least just bonkers. I love it. She can go from ass-kicking to hushed and delicate in (“Hyperballad.”) These songs seem un-coverable. Production is a tiny-bit dated here and there (“trip hop,” anyone?) but her voice and singular vision holds everything together. Really imaginative. Great headphone album. Sure why not a big band cover of “It’s Oh So Quiet.” I like that she does whatever the hell she wants and okay, maybe not the best technical speaking, but she gets a lot of her breathy, accented voice. Especially in the trippy, atmospheric almost dub “Possibly Maybe.” Some this album gets a little dodgy like “Cover Me” but the album never derails. I still like!<\/p>\n

Starred Songs:<\/span> “Army Of Me,” “It’s Oh So Quiet”
<\/span>Sneaky Tracks:<\/span> “Possibly Maybe”<\/p>\n

Should this be on the list:<\/span> Yes
Will You Listen To This Album Again:<\/span> Yes

Summary: <\/span> Kaleidoscopic, uncategorizable headphone album from a true original artist<\/div>\n
