Sobre el álbum
Con el álbum Post, Björk consolida su estatus como una de las artistas más innovadoras de su generación. Después de su debut, la cantante se sumerge en un torbellino de experimentación sonora que abarca una increíble diversidad de géneros. Por ejemplo, pasa del industrial agresivo de "Army of Me" a la elegancia jazzística de "It's Oh So Quiet" sin perder un ápice de coherencia. El álbum funciona como una carta de amor a su nueva vida en Londres, capturando la emoción y el caos de la metrópolis.
Las composiciones son complejas y llenas de matices. La producción de temas como "Hyperballad" combina elementos electrónicos con una sensibilidad pop que resulta profundamente emotiva y, a su vez, bailable. "Isobel" nos transporta a un mundo de fantasía narrativa, demostrando su incomparable habilidad como contadora de historias. Este trabajo es un mosaico ecléctico y audaz que se niega a ser encasillado, y precisamente por eso, sigue siendo una obra fundamental y atemporal.

- Army Of Me3:54
Stand up You've got to manage I won't sympathize Anymore And if you complain once more You'll meet an army of me And if you complain once more You'll meet an army of me You're alright There's nothing wrong Self-suficience, please And get to work And if you complain once more You'll meet an army of me And if you complain once more You'll meet an army of me Army of me You're on your own now We won't save you Your rescue-squad Is too exhausted And if you complain once more You'll meet an army of me And if you complain once more You'll meet an army of me And if you complain once more You'll meet an army of me And if you complain once more You'll meet an army of me Army of me - Hyperballad5:21
We live on a mountain Right at the top There's a beautiful view From the top of the mountain Every morning I walk towards the edge And throw little things off Like: Car-parts, bottles and cutlery Or whatever I find lying around It's become a habit A way To start the day I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you It's real early morning No-one is awake I'm back at my cliff Still throwing things off I listen to the sounds they make On their way down I follow him with my eyes 'till they crash Imagine what my body would sound like Slamming against those rocks When it lands Will my eyes Be closed or open? I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you - The Modern Things4:10
Letra
All the modern things Like cars and such Have always existed They've just been waiting in a mountain For the right moment Listening to the irritating noises Of dinosaurs and people Dabbling outside Kahi Engin fylgist alveg Kahi Sólin sekkur Kahi Engin sér við mér Það er sól þegar Andar inn í mér Hann bítur mig Hann bítur mig Já, hann kemur með Fylgir eftir mér Telur með Siglir eftir mér All the modern things Have always existed They've just been waiting [?] To come out And multiply And take over It's their turn now Kahi [?] Hann kemur með Fylgir eftir mér Telur með Siglir eftir mér Kemur með Fylgir eftir mér Telur með - It's Oh So Quiet3:38

In a forest pitch-dark Glowed the tiniest spark It burst into a flame Like me, like me My name Isobel Married to myself My love Isobel Living by herself In a heart full of dust Lives a creature called Lust It surprises and scares Like me, like me My name Isobel Married to myself My love Isobel Living by herself When she does it, she means to Moth delivers her message Unexplained on your collar Crawling in silence A simple excuse Nana na nana Nana na nana Nana na nana Nana na nana In a tower of steel Nature forges a deal To raise wonderful hell Like me, like me My name Isobel Married to myself My love Isobel Living by herself When she does it, she means to Moth delivers her message Unexplained on your collar Crawling in silence A simple excuse Nana na nana Nana na nana Nana na nana Nana na nana - Possibly Maybe5:06

Letra
I miss you But I haven't met you yet So special But it hasn't happened yet You are gorgeous But I haven't met you yet I remember But it hasn't happened yet And if you believe in dreams Well it's more important That a dream can come true I will meet you I was peaking But it hasn't happened yet I haven't been given My best souvenir I miss you But I haven't met you yet I know your habits But wouldn't recognize you yet And if you believe in dreams Well it's more important That a dream can come true I miss you I'm so impatient I can't stand the wait When will I get my cuddle? Who are you? I know by now that you'll arrive By the time I stop waiting I miss you - Cover Me2:06

Letra
Genius to fall asleep to your tape last night Sounds go through muscles These abstract worthless movements Move, move, move, move, move They start off as cells That haven't been touched before These cells are virgins My headphones They saved my life Your tape It lulled me to sleep, to sleep, to sleep Nothing will be the same I'm asleep I'm fast asleep I like this resonance It elevates me I don't recognize myself This is very interesting My headphones They saved my life Your tape It lulled me to sleep, to sleep, to sleep I'm fast asleep now You're still listening I'm fast asleep, I'm asleep My headphones They saved, saved my life Your tape It lulled me to sleep, to sleep, to sleep
