Rating: THE REVIEW
After a few years, here I am listening again to this 1993 CD, which marks Björk's solo debut, and just like then, I find myself completely captivated by her voice and the beauty of the songs.
It starts with "Human Behaviour" and ends with "Play Dead". In between, a kaleidoscope of sounds, voices, emotions, and sensations that make this CD a small work of art.
It is also magnificent in its simplest moments, like "Like Someone In Love" (voice + harp).
More than just something to own, it's to be hung in your room next to your Monet or Van Gogh.

It definitely belongs among the 10 essential albums of the nineties not so much because it is a precursor of a certain genre but for the originality with which it handles Dance, Pop, and Electronic.
Aside from her creative genius, Björk enjoys a natural gift, her unmistakable voice, which besides being an added value, is also her strength.
By Darius
Beyond that dull cover... was an authentic little musical gem packaged, a blend of sounds, fantasy, sentiment, sophistication, sensuality, and mood.
'Human Behaviour' is the vital soul of the album, the sum of all its abstract and sensory perceptions, the culmination of the dialectic between light and darkness.
