When this LP first came out, people were queuing up to slate it. It didn`t have the sharp poppy irony of `Life`s Too Good`, nor did it have any real test of Bjork`s sublime voice, meaningful songwriting or a control on Einar Orn`s possibly very irritating voice.
I personally think that Einar sounds a lot less irritating on this album, and the combination of Bjork and Einar is a strong one. The songwriting is totally nonsensical, but then, that`s the whole point of the Sugar Cubes` work - it was never intended to be taken seriously. On that basis, when you listen to tracks like `Speed is the Key`, `Eat the menu` and `Dear Plastic`, stop treating them like serious pop tracks, and hopefully you`ll have a big wide grin on your face - because they can be extremely funny, and this album is probably better than the first.

After 'Life's Too Good', this received lots of bad reviews and turned out to be the band's last album. It's not actually all that bad - it sounds like a quirkier version of the B52s - but if you hated Einar's bizarre shouted raps you'll hate this because he's in almost every song. 'Water' doesn't have him at all, and is the best song of the lot. A lot of the other songs seem to blur into each other, although 'Plastic' and 'Eat the Menu' are perky.
