This well-regarded little item rekindles my primeval suspicion of Europeans who presume to "improve" on rock and roll (or for that matter Betty Hutton, originator of the best song here). I don't miss the Sugarcubes' guitars per se so much as their commitment to the groove, which--sporadic though it would remain, Iceland not being one of your blues hotbeds--might shore up the limited but real intrinsic interest of her eccentric instrumentation, electronic timbres, etc. Then there's her, how shall I say it, self-involved vocal devices. Which brings us to, right, her lyrics, which might hit home harder if she'd grown up speaking the English she'll die singing, but probably wouldn't. Anybody out there remember Dagmar Krause? German, Henry Cow, into artsong and proud of it? Well, take my word for it. She was no great shakes either. But at least she had politics. C+
all that useless knowledge just to say that you thought it was ok
I mean he's right post is mid, easily the worst album of the classic bjork run
>>130667906Worse than Medulla? Nah son.
>>130667906It has Army of Me though, which is the only Bjork song I care about. But to be fair I never really bothered to check her music out properly
>>130667798"Army of Me" has a kind of cool backing track but I can do without the swing nostalgia song.
