I can certainly see where you are coming from. Bjork does vary from album to album. I personally do enjoy her previous works. Then again, it is still a Bjork album. Oh ...

Although Volta has its moments, it's largely unfocused and too incoherent. The thing with her is that there is this large amount of anticipation prior to each release of how she is going to breakthrough musically. Homogenic and Médulla were like wow. (However, Vespertine remains my personal favourite.) In that respect, Volta is a huge disappointment as most of the stuff are stuff we have heard before. And I got bored with the album after a couple of spins. I don't appreciate the guest efforts and the incongruous chinese orchestra bit, but I must admit I loved Antony's duet with the Icelandic pop princess. Just popping by and popping my 2 cents. :) I love Björk, but unfortunately I also think Volta’s her weakest release to date. Although Volta has its moments, it’s largely unfocused and too incoherent.
