Bjork's deal
So what the deal with Bjork's new one: Medulla?
I just listened to a heated argument (one woman I work with just threw a shoe at another employee) who insists it's the best album of the year and arguably Bjork's best work. Appearantly Mike Patton is on it. Another person I work with thinks it's the third coming of Chirst, and Pitchfork has it listed in the Top New Music with an 8.4. I haven't heard it...
Anyone?
It is difficult sometimes to judge it as a standalone work due to its so-called "novelty" status of having voices only, but most percussion elements were pre-recorded, and Bjork was extensively working w/ Patton. Patton suggested they bring in Rahzel et. al, and the (IMHO fantastic) results speak for themselves.
Buy it and turn it up loud....
