Similarly, I could probably give Homogenic an A if the single mix of "All Is Full of Love" had been used as the album version - and that's about the only time you'll hear me state my preference for a radio edit. (Though in any event, "Pluto" is still annoying.)

I couldn't disagree more on "All Is Full of Love".  "Pluto" is hysterical to me, so i kind of like it.

Post is wildly inconsistent for me. I love a song and then I'm indifferent about the next one, and it jumps back and forth like that throughout the album. It's my least favorite of her 90's albums - I'd rank Debut above it even though that one has its obvious weaknesses and is the only Bjork album I'd ever accuse of sounding dated.

Post grew on me pretty quickly, but I can see why some people would prefer Debut.  I think even that album sounds eons ahead of the pop artists of her time.

Yeah, All Is Full of Love and Unravel are easily two of her best songs, imo.

I'm sure you could, but it would require a lot of energy. A good night's sleep might help.

Agreed. It's mostly in the BGV's and some of the beats where I'm like, "Yep, it's the early 90's."
