* AnatomicallyImpossibleSex: "Enjoy"

The album also features songs she wrote after moving to London that represented the quick pace and urban culture of the city, deviating from the domestic themes of ''Music/{{Debut}}'', which mainly had compositions written in Iceland. It also focuses on the contemporary styles of British underground club culture, with which Björk had established close ties.

The exponential increase in fame and success the album brought Björk also came with downsides such as unwanted media attention, mainly brought on by her infamously attacking a reporter in a Bangkok airport during the album's tour[[note]]In Björk's defense, she had specified that she would only speak to reporters at a designated press conference and that she did not want the press bothering her anywhere else, especially because she had her son with her. The reporter in question, who had been following her for four days straight, not only ignored this request and showed up at the airport anyway but was also trying to interview Bjork's son, so the altercation was not completely wanton.[[/note]] alongside her having a stalker who ultimately committed suicide. This directly influenced her following album, ''Music/{{Homogenic}}'', as it was recorded in Spain to maintain privacy.

''Post'' is the third studio album by Music/{{Bjork}}, released in 1995. The album's sound, usually categorized as "art pop", incorporates [[GenreBusting a slew of different electronic/dance genres]] including {{techno}}, {{trip hop}}, IDM, {{house music}}, {{ambient}}, {{jazz}}, {{industrial}}, and experimental music.

Unlike her previous release ''Debut'', which was almost entirely produced by one person, ''Post'' has more collaborative efforts. Several people helped with the production, including Music/MassiveAttack's Tricky, and Björk co-produced every song on the album.

* HarsherInHindsight: The lyrics to "I Miss You" could possibly be this, given the stalker incident.

--> ''I'm back at my cliff''
--> ''Still throwing things off''
--> ''I listen to the sounds they make on their way down''
--> ''I follow with my eyes 'til they crash''
--> ''Imagine what my body would sound like, slamming against those rocks''
--> ''and when it lands will my eyes be closed or open?''

--> ''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''

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: Most tracks are cross between classical music, electronic pop music and avantgarde. "It's Oh So Quiet" sounds like an old Hollywood musical by contrast. "Army Of Me" has something {{Industrial}} about it.

''Post'' was critically and commercially successful, spawning numerous hit singles also known for their [[{{Surrealism}} surrealist]] music videos, and has been recognized as not only one of the most important albums in the genre of art pop, but one of the greatest albums of the 90s and of all time.

It was listed at #376 in ''Magazine/RollingStone''[='=]s [[Music/RollingStone500GreatestAlbumsOfAllTime 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time]] list.

The album also features songs she wrote after moving to England that represented the quick pace and urban culture of the city, deviating from the domestic themes of ''Music/{{Debut}}'', which mainly had compositions written in Iceland. It also focuses on the contemporary styles of British underground club culture, with which Björk had established close ties.

''Post'' was critically and commercially successful, and has retrospectively been recognized as one of the most important albums in the genre of art pop as well as one of the greatest albums of the 90s and of all time. The album is known for the hit singles "It's Oh So Quiet", "Army of Me", "Isobel", "Hyperballad", "Possibly Maybe" and "I Miss You", as well as the surrealist music videos that accompanied them. "It's Oh So Quiet" was Björk's biggest hit in many countries, but is actually atypical of her style considering it's a jazzy big band song. She herself [[BlackSheepHit dismissed it as somewhat of a joke]] and didn't even include it on her GreatestHitsAlbum, released in 2002. She doesn't really sing it these days in her live performances, with a couple of exceptions here and there.

The exponential increase in fame and success the album brought Björk also came with downsides such as unwanted media attention, mainly brought on by her infamously attacking a reporter during the album's tour[[note]]It's important to say that Björk's attack wasn't completely wanton. It occurred at an airport in Bangkok where reporters showed up despite Björk asking for them to leave her and her son alone until she held a press conference. Also, Björk only attacked a reporter because [[MamaBear she began asking questions to her son]], and she had reportedly been bothering Björk for four days straight.[[/note]] alongside Björk having a stalker who ultimately committed suicide. This directly influenced Björk's following album, ''Music/{{Homogenic}}'', as it was recorded in Spain to maintain privacy.

** The music video of "Army Of Me", directed by Creator/MichelGondry, has Björk driving a gigantic [[BaseOnWheels tanker truck]] through a city, fighting of a gorilla for re-obtaining a diamond and planting a bomb in a museum to free a boy.
** The music video of "Isobel" and "Hyperballad", also directed by Gondry.
** The music video of "Possibly Maybe", directed by Stéphane Sednaoui.
** The music video of "I Miss You" was directed by Creator/JohnKricfalusi and therefore an AnimatedMusicVideo full of DerangedAnimation.
