This album is quite ethereal, which makes it quite an interesting and different listen for me! I do appreciate this and it really feels wonderful to listen to. Bjork does sing beautifully here, and that cannot be denied. I think though that for me, the style starts to feel a little less interesting by the second half. It's beautiful, don't get me wrong, but I feel like I've heard the best of it at the start, and the latter half starts to feel a bit like it's dragging. That being said, I cannot deny the beauty of Bjork's voice, and what is here, is honestly quite wonderful.

I think the most I can say, is just that this isn't super for me from start to finish, despite me thinking it's objectively incredibly quality. For the quality alone, I can't give this a bad score, but it's not quite an album I'm desperate to return to, beyond saving a few of my favorites to have the style in my rotation :)

The last song is really beautiful though, what a way to end off the album
