This is probably one of the best albums in Björk's discography. Starting with "Human Behaviour", had a great percussion beat and the lyrics are simply brillant. "Crying" is another beautiful song, very deeply and rhythmic, sounds fantastic. I definitively love "Play Dead", an amazing melancholic downtempo piece. This album is special because had a variety of styles, ranging from Deep House to Downtempo to Jazz-ish themes. This is really a great "Debut".
