Has anyone else picked up Bjork's new album yet?

Picked it up last week...I'm intrigued by the influence of early music on her vocal arrangements.

The Natural Way

11:48 / 11.10.01

Yeah, I've heard it quite a lot - loads of my friends have got it. Very nice. Gather she made it in conjunction with those weird bastards, Matmos.

YNH

I thought I saw/heard? an interview wherein She said the two had locked up in a house for three months and tried using only stuff in there to make the sounds (with lots of equipment of course.)

I thought it was better than the last couple, but still lackedreal feeling...

Naked Flame

i LOVE this album. It makes me go all gooey. Of course this may have something to do with the fact that I think Bjork is the sexist thing ever to venture out of the Arctic Circle. But it really is a breathtaking piece of work, all the emotion that she was holding back on her previous CDs...

Production rocks too.

Regrettable Juvenilia

'Pagan Poetry' is the best thing ever. It's the perfect autumn/winter song. Doesn't it make you want to listen to it on your walkman while walking through some leaves on a chilly evening? And it's going to be the next single! Yay! And the video is apparently utterly dutt! Double yay!

And [YNH], how can you say it lacks real feeling? That bit at the end where she goes "He makes me want to hurt <prounced 'heeeeaaaaaarrrrrrrrt'> myself again..." - if that ain't feeling, I don't know what is. Gave me chills when I realised those were the words...

It's the album I've been waiting for Bjork to make. Lessy 'poppy', more 'nice n crunchy'. It surely gets us inside her head a lot more than previous releases, and what a wonderous place it is.
