Homogenic embraced all of Björk’s most provocative contradictions. The main theme is the wish to rush headlong into a life lived to the fullest—an unbridled yearning for the sublime.
The fact is, Björk has managed to create something so refreshingly unique that trying to categorize and label the music is rather dubious. It is easier to see Homogenic as the backbone for the future of music.
While it might not represent every side of Björk's music, Homogenic displays some of her most impressive heights.
Homogenic may be Bjork’s most audacious move in a career filled with them.
The ambitious Homogenic is yet another frighteningly beautiful creation from one of the most vital and daring musical minds of this generation.
While her third solo album, 'Homogenic', is probably her most weird, it is also her best.
Homogenic is her most intimate album to date – all but a couple of tunes are love songs. More than ever the naked emotion of Björk's music draws the listener into her world.
With Homogenic, Björk proves that good art, like good love, relies as much on the interplay of opposites as it does on fusion.

Na década de 1990, a carreira de Björk decolou. Ela estava nas capas de revistas, em artigos de jornais e até nas paradas musicais. Os seus dois discos lançados neste período, Debut (1993) e Post (1996), ... read more
This was something else!
Thanks to @humm1ng_b1rd for recommending this to me, I'm sorry it took me a long time to hear it.
Homogenic is Björk's third album, released in September 1997. It was recorded throughout August 1996-97 at her home in London & El Cortijo in Spain.
This album was originally to be recorded & produced at her home in London, but it had to be halted after she survived a murder attempt by a stalker named Ricardo López, who mailed her a letter bomb rigged ... read more
a really interesting and intricate art pop record, really a pioneer, its honestly amazing how good this can sound, the hooks are just soooo beautiful, it never feels tame, the vocals are angelic and sent from the heavens i swear, the production is insanely impressive and somehow better than most music today, honestly just an incredible record, a pioneer, and its hard to hate on it, overall this is another one of those albums where everythings already been said
A++
Björk continues to stun me. The atmospheric production & euphoric vocals that made “Vespertine” such a masterpiece is also present in this earlier work, but with more electronic elements added to it, creating another unique adventure in Björks discography. Incredible. A master of her craft.
