7/10...It's been out a while now. It's been on repeat. So the verdict is pretty good. Unfortunately I can't say amazing. But that's the way I felt about Vespertine when I first heard it and now I doubt that album can ever be surpassed. She does a couple of duets with Anthony from Anthony and the Johnsons. Not a huge fan of his falsetto voice. The second duet for me is a throw away. But the first one, "Dull Flame of Desire" works perfectly. It's pretty damn gorgeous. Not going to do a full review and to pick out just one section of one song is going to sound like clutching at straws to her detractors (many of my friends included) but the 2 minute mark of Innocence is sublime. Vintage Bjork. I still love her and praying like mad she is going to bring the tour to Australia. Even Japan would do. That was on my list anyway for this year.
Oh, and here's another reminder of how much I admire her. A teensy bit of body art never hurt no-one.
