Editorial Review: Album Description: Japanese only SHM-CD (Super High Material CD - playable on all CD players) pressing. Universal. 2008. Amazon.com: Headline-grabbing personal upheavals turn into introspective surges on Homogenic, the third album by Icelandic singer Björk. Driven inward after a bizarre year accented by a much publicized mail bomb, airport cat fight and brawl between ex-lovers Tricky and Goldie, Björk gets lost in a wash of strings and minimalist techno patterns on her latest outing. The eccentricity and stylistic schizophrenia of Debut and Post have been cast away in favor of darker, more sublime edginess. Filled with songs about paranoia, heartbreak, and lost faith, Homogenic not only showcases more mature themes, but a more uniform mood. Notch that up to Björk's decision to produce the album herself. Aside from a few nominal collaborations with Mark Bell of obscure techno outfit LFO and the Icelandic String Octet, this is the purest representation of the artist's vision. Little did we know that such a quirky personality would have such a bleak world view. Homogenic is almost too heavy to take in sitting, and songs, like the grating "Pluto," are downright unlistenable. But there are moments of inspiration that burn through the dark clouds, particularly on the contemplative "Joga" and the uplifting "Bachelorette." --Aidin Vaziri Average Rating:
 Rating:  - All Is Full of LoveApproaching the catalog of an artist as prestigious as Bjork is very difficult, and at first glance new listeners would want to stray from Homogenic in exchange for an album where she looks prettier on the cover. But this album is definitely one of her most serious, moving works and should be an eventual purchase for even casual fans. For the record, this is generally argued to be her best album, and although it may not be easy to listen to at first, the album stands out as being great if you can ...

Here it is so you don't have to look for it: 'This artist is really INSANE! If some so-called artists called this music "art" they're really wrong and crazy. I've been listening Bjork's music a lot of times and I couldn't find an answer to his physically disordered mind. This album gives you a clear ...

Each song has it's own personality. Rating: - Bjork is the universe....I adore Bjork. Not only is she an amazingly beautiful and beguling woman, but she's one of the greatest musicians working today, and this is one of my favorite albums of hers. This was the first album of hers I got, and I still play the tar out of it. The opening song, Hunter, is filled with tension and beauty, but my favorite song has to be Joga, the 2nd track. The chorus is so powerful and moving, and the string section gives it a really beautiful feel. The final track, All is Full of Love, is ... Read More Rating: - amazingBjork is absolutelly a genius. Bachelorette must be one of the most moving songs I know. Browse for similar items by category:
