Bjork: Every Album Ranked From Worst To Best
1. Homogenic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjI2J2SQ528Homogenic stands as an album for surmounting one's anxieties, whether it is through an emotional or physical retaliation. The album is fraught with a chaos that at times appears controlled and at other times explodes across a song. It is her most manic album, full of intense emotion from either end of the spectrum.
The album, coming off of the more playful sensibilities of Debut and Post, is a stark leap into darker territory. Its emotional maturity established Bjork as a genuine talent.
Aggressive industrial beats pair with lush string arrangements as she sings about themes involving high expectations on one's shoulders and the distress of trying to please everyone at once. On the album's cover, she is dressed in a way that stretches her features to a point void of humanity, signifying a feeling of being thanklessly used that she lashes back at over the course of the album.
The album is so connected to stress and builds upon this stress with every song. The chaos bursts in "Pluto," in which she destroys everything she can in order to start anew. Out of the wreckage comes the strikingly gorgeous "All is Full of Love," which envelops the listener with a sense of reassurance that eventually a horrible experience will reach a state of peace, if only for a little while.
