Overall album rating: 7.14 (Very good)

I know "It's Oh So Quiet" is a popular favorite, but maybe it's just too happy sounding for a gloomy guy like me...

So this great journey has come to an end. Thanks so much for all the work you've put into this remarkable project, Honorio - it's been a pleasure to revisit these albums, and an honor to have ranked every one! :music-listening:

Thank you very much, jamieW! Yes, you're the first one ranking the 100 albums (but surely ordinaryperson will join you in a few days). I still have to rank two albums to join both of you ("The Low End Theory" and "Ten") but hopefully I'll do it in a few days/weeks.
About "It' Oh So Quiet" I'm aware that is not representative at all of Björk's catalogue but it's still my favourite song of hers. What can I do? After all these years it still never fails to both giving me goosebumps and putting a smile on my face.

Thank you Honorio for hosting Rank the Tracks. It has truly been wonderful time ranking each one of these albums. Thanks for giving me and the rest of the forum an opportunity to rediscover, or maybe discover, albums.

Hello,

It’s has been a real pleasure to revisit this album. It is one of the most exciting albums of the 90’s and it made me think about a couple of things:

- I am not sure which of Björk’s first three albums I prefer. All of them are near perfection. I think Homogenic is the one I like best as a whole, but Post and Debut include my favourite songs on her discography.
- How is it possible that Bjork, one of the most exciting artists in the 90’s became soooo boring a few years later? Everything she has produced from Vespertine to Utopia makes me yawn. The only exception might be Vulnicura, which in any case is miles below her first three masterpieces.

My ranking:

1- 02 | Hyper-Ballad
2- 04 | It's Oh So Quiet
3- 01 | Army of Me
4- 09 | I Miss You
5- 05 | Enjoy
6- 03 | The Modern Things
7- 08 | Possibly Maybe
8- 07 | Isobel
9- 06 | You've Been Flirting Again
10- 10 | Cover Me
11- 11 | Headphones
