3rd and final studio album by The Sugarcubes. I don't think that I heard this album at the time of its release. I was too tired of the band, and too tired of their inability to provide something close to their most interesting compositions, so I only knew of "Hit" and "Leash Called Love" from radio transmissions, and they simply weren't even enough to catch my interest, at least not until 10 years after or so. Today, I consider the album nearly as good as their debut, and I really only ask myself as to why I didn't find it enjoyable at the time. I think Björk's voice and her physical appearances while performing were what "disgusted" me. "Gold" is almost the best track on the album, but what makes it better than Here Today... (1989) is the overall feel of solid compositions, and it's also the band's most homogeneous album. The song "Hit" reached no. 1 on the American charts of "Modern Rock" as their only no.1. in the US. It's a fine album to end their career. After all, they only released 3 studio albums, and one year after this, Björk released her great solo Debut, which initiated a fine solo career.
