Undoubtedly one of Björk‘s greatest albums, but I can’t imagine myself ever liking Homogenic more than Post. As a matter of fact, even putting aside my personal feelings, I still consider Post to be the superior album. Homogenic falls off a bit in the album’s second half, and lacks the adventurism of Post to help sustain interest, not to mention the higher-quality songwriting. I like the induction of more string arrangements—I’m a sucker for ’em—but relying on the similar compositions that utilize them for nearly every song here makes the album just a tad homogenic, despite its beauty. Some glitchy electronic beats show up rarely, but they’re never strong enough to steal the show. Homogenic is too midtempo as well, and could really use more faster-paced tracks to help pick things up.

Björk has claimed that Post is a document of the artist exploring new sounds and searching for her calling in music, while Homogenic represents what she ended up discovering. If anything, then, it serves as a timeless reminder that the journey is often more meaningful than the destination.
