  • By the time Post was released Björk already had a successful career, at least by Icelandic standards. She’d released her first album at age 12, and went on to front the cult avant-rock group the Sugarcubes. Then in 1993 she released her first proper solo album, Debut, to international acclaim. But it wasn’t until Post that Björk became the icon she’s known as today.

    Post is still my favourite, though Homogenic is a damn close 2nd and Vespertine a great 3rd. Debut is her only album I'd describe as sounding a bit "dated". Biophilia is underrated.

    • @john-alexandermatsos2877
      @john-alexandermatsos2877 Před 6 lety +3

      I agreed with everything until the last sentence. Biophilia is my least favourite album because she let form overpower artistic expression, creating a very awkward and detached album with nothing much to say.

      @Casper76 Před 6 lety +6

      John-Alexander Matsos, I'm aware your comment are 6 months old, but I just have to chip in. You're wrong. Listen to Cosmogony and Virus. The entirety of these songs are metaphors for her relationship with Matthew Barney. Then listen to Mutual Core. She describes how much she commits to this relationship, but he doesn't reciprocate it. Eruption is the relationship failing. This theory is confirmed by Vulnicura being the forthcoming album.
      Biophilia is brilliant. She manages to, like you say, maintain an amazing form, but she still gets her point across. She definitely has stuff to say.
