Music reviews of Homogenic
Music Review: Her Best
Rating: 5 Stars
I don't love everything Bjork does, but I love that she does everything. Here is a great example of what an artist can do when she's left alone. And her music is truly a work of art. One never thinks of Bjork as a female artist - she's a creative force and one of the best musical visionaries of all time. I consider this her best work because she covers every conceivable emotion. She apologizes for nothing, demanding from her objects of affection to man up or hit the road. 'Immature' is the best advice ever, while 'All is Full of Love' wonderfully suggests we stop expecting love from 'the sources you've poured yours'. Bjork just wants us to get out of the box, take the plunge, and not be afraid to admit life can and does go on.
Description of Homogenic
Japanese only SHM-CD (Super High Material CD - playable on all CD players) pressing. Universal. 2008.Headline-grabbing personal upheavals turn into introspective surges on Homogenic, the third album by Icelandic singer Bj?rk. Driven inward after a bizarre year accented by a much publicized mail bomb, airport cat fight and brawl between ex-lovers Tricky and Goldie, Bj?rk 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 Bj?rk'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
