the most iconic debut of all time, mother björk was (and still is) so so so ahead of her times. no skips as always. it's hard to choose favorites from this album, all songs are amazing, but i'm gonna have to say there's more to life than this (live at the milk bar toilets) even though i prefer the non toilet ver. it's still really good and come to me
