Course I love the 'Cubes. I reckon "Birthday" is about a young girl having her mind warped by an old man who consensually sexually abuses her. It was cool because it took me years to figure out. Also "Hit" and "Gold" are amongst their classics. Bjork rarely involves herself with a bad song.

Yes, they're great! I don't listen to them nearly as much as Bjork's solo work, but I love all 3 of their albums.

I love the Sugarcubes smile Life's Too Good is their best album, imo. "Blue Eyed Pop" and "Delicious Demon" of course "Birthday" love how can you hate "Birthday"

SHe has spiders in her pockets. Not my favorite...because it was so popular.

I love loved loved Coldsweat...and the video and the Country Western version of it all.

OK...First album was great...and quirky and simply great. Sick for Toys, Mama, Motorcrack, F***ing in Rythm and sorrow etc...

Second album...so so. Way too long even the title. It's like 2ce the length of the first one and Einar sings too much. Way too much. But I like Planet, Water, Regina, and a couple of others.

Stick around for joy...was my least favorite. They definitely had "found" thier sound and it was pretty boring. They were going "alternitive" and too much Einar singing.

My favorite is actually It's Ita remix retrospective album. FANTASTIC. It one of those that all the singles got completely remixed just for the album. Many song received nice face lifts.

I like that one a lot too. It seemed like a dry run for Bjork's own Debut.

I wasn't too crazy about It's It as a whole.....it's been a while since I've heard all of the songs on there though. I loved the remix to Pump though.

Yeah, that's a good one. The remixes for Birthday, Mama and Water are all nice too.

I still love the first album - esp Deus - even if the production is a bit dated and the song Hit from the third one.
