Freaky, I copied this tape on October 24th 1989, and I can't have listened right to the end once in the last 30 years, even when I WAV-ised it, cos I've never heard that last one before.

If it wasn't for the NHOTW I would never have known it was there.

They're singing in Icelandic to stick it to us Anglophones where it hurts. alvin

It is over.

I felt that was an album whose peak was in its second half. The main point of interest was Bjork's singing. I felt the man was mostly unnecessary.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it. Excited

Yes, that was OK.

Not bad at any stage (apart from the stupid one at the end(ish).

Not really my slice of putrefying fermented shark, but kinda cool in a 'we still refuse to believe that the early '80s ever ended' way nonetheless.

They're better than the spin-off band Bork in any event.

I hate the way the forum goes deathly quiet immediately after the frenzy of an album commentary. bawl

I am compiling a list of albums to propose. They're all crackers.

Also, I am planning a stunning revamp of the Running Commentary subforum which will leave people reeling.

That was a solid ★★★★, Birthday was the stand out track, but I never noticed how post-punk it sounded, but with a(n ironic?) pop twist that made it more than a simple rehash of Or something. dunno
