CRITIC REVIEWS

Pitchfork

With Post, Björk set the bionic foundation for one of the most consequential careers in pop history.

100
AllMusic

The work of a constantly changing artist, Post proves that as Björk moves toward more ambitious, complex music, she always surpasses herself.

Slant Magazine
The artist’s sophomore effort upped the ante by plugging listeners into the diverse pop mixtape playing inside her mind.

Entertainment Weekly

On Björk second solo album, Post, the ex-Sugarcube finds a bizarre and irresistible connecting point between industrial-disco, ambient-trance, and catchy synth pop.

SPIN

Debut was a great album, and despite its similarity, Post is even better.

Rolling Stone

Chock-full of curious noises, mesmerizing vocals and musical surprises, Post provides a much-needed escape route from alternative rock’s dull offerings of late.

The Guardian

With Post, she recreates Debut's hotchpotch of styles and noises, but not its magic – or maybe it's just that her growl-cum-squeal and its Icelandic inflections set against airy jazz and dance tracks is shocking no more.

The Sydney Morning Herald
What seems at first disappointingly slight reveals its pleasures slowly, over repeated encounters.

More high quality talent.

Post is Björk's 2nd studio album, released in June 1995, having been recorded from late 1994-April 1995.

Post, however, goes for a more dark palette in sound as the atmospheres present are sonically more haunting.

BJORKY SHIT #02 - POST 1995

Post is an interesting release from Bjork for a multitude of reasons. First being that it's her most accesible, at least from what I've heard. And that plays to its benefit, since a lot of these tracks are easier and quicker to get into, yet still have that fantasic unique musical depth and originality that Bjork brings on her records. I mean it's her most popular album for a reason, but I ... read more

Examining: Björk

Part 2 - Post

“Debut” was nothing short of a success for Björk, significantly outperforming her label’s sales expectations fifteen times over within three months after release and playing a huge part in changing audience’s perspective of electronic music as a respectable art form. Huge opportunities came Björk way prettt quickly, such as working with David Arnold to create the theme to the movie “The Young Americans” titled ... read more

Björk's Post is easily one of the greatest sophomore albums of all time. From the incredibly emotionally charged, sonically striking Hyper-Ballad which negates the sacrifices of a relationship and suicide to the cover of Betty Hutton's It's Oh So Quiet, which alternates between mischievous intimacy and outbursts of screeching vocals/big band, this album showcases Björk's creative versatility.

Isobel, written by Sjón, is one of my favourite songs ever and forms the bridge in a ... read more
