i actually own it already. hah. the album is not my favorite because of two sounds: the jackass producer's sound and some guy who sang in a few songs with her who cannot sing to save his life. alas the tale continues...
i also got 50 or so hate emails from 12-year-olds, who have no idea what it's like to be a 9th grader when POST came out, because i said i'm not fond of the new album on the Bjork forums. finally i heard about 1/3rd of Volta performed live to which she closed the show on Declare Independence. the live performances sort of changed my mind on some of Volta. the songs sounded very nice live... especially without Anthony mucking them up with his voice.
additionally i didn't like Earth Intruders till she sang it live but i still don't know if i can appreciate it on the album as i did that night... i'm a POST era Bjork fan.

i like the story behind Declare Independence mostly. she is telling Greenland and Faroe Islands to continue in their separation from the Danes...

Thanks for the info about declare independence.
I didn't know the history behind it, and was wondering.
I think Volta has a lot of similarities to POST and earlier Bjork albums.
Definately better than Medulla :)
Although, we watched a documentary about the making of Medualla that made me appreciate it much more.
