I cam across Bjork the other day and was wondering which album to get?
So which one is the one to get?

Vespertine is her best, but...

Homogenic is my favorite by far.

 

[tusk]

Oh, and if I missed one on the poll just post it. Only 10 options unfortunately.
Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm still love Debut. The CD still gets played every day.

Debut, Post, and Homogenic are all very close, but I think Homogenic edges out.

 

[FalconP]

Post is her most approachable album and is a good place to start, but Homogenic is Bjork at her most soul-baring: the lyrics sound like confessions at times: emotionally compelling and quite a bit frightening.

 

[megawzrd]

Debut for me.

Homogenic and Vespertine follow close behind to round out my top three Bjork albums always on rotation.

 

[Zanth]

Debut for me. Though Vespertine is likely her musical best. Volta though starts so darn strong...but yeah, Debut overall.

 

[Bon]

'Debut'. Although 'post' is indeed a good place to kick off

 

[scompton]

Verspertine is my favorite, followed closely by Homogenic. Some of the others I've only heard once or twice, some not at all, so it's not a totally fair comparison.

My sister being a big Bjoerk fan, thought the best way to introduce to her music was to let me borrow her Greatest Hits CD. Granted I have not listened to any of her other albums, but I think it is precisely due to all the orgasmic material available on that Greatest Hits CD.

I voted for Medulla, However, I think that the poll should have been titled "What is your favorite Bjork album" rather than What is the best Bjork album.

BTW, the surround sound mix of Medulla is absolutely stunning. If you ever get a chance to hear the 5.1 mix from the SACD version of Medulla, played back on a good quality multi-channel surround system, i.e. not through a "Home Theater In A Box" system, I think that you will be impressed.

That said, I can well understand why many people are not that fond of Medulla since it is perhaps Bjork's least accessible recording and at times it can rather difficult to understand.

I voted for Homogenic, but I have to say that Medúlla is seriously underrated. It's probably my second favorite of her albums.

I love evrything by Bjork and the Sugarcubes before that. Vespertine is my favorite. I cant get to grips with Volta for some reason? I just dont like it.

I went for Medulla because it's the most coherent album, with Vespertine straight after it. The other albums are all over the place in terms of style.
