Typically unconventional, Björk's Greatest Hits gives the people what they want: Fans voted on Björk's web site for their favorite tunes, and the winners filed onto this disc, which traces the Icelandic chanteuse's career arc from her post-Sugarcubes Debut through 2001's Vespertine. With a few exceptions, such as her popular, Broadway-flavored number "It's Oh So Quiet," the singer's best-known songs are here: the clanging synth-pop of "Human Behaviour," the passion-filled "Hyperballad," the soaring "Isobel," the intense, strings-and-synths collision on "Joga," and so on. A few surprises, however, do crop up, including the hard-to-find "Play Dead," a collaboration with electronica wizard David Arnold for the film The Young Americans, and "It's in Our Hands," the long-awaited studio recording of a live show staple. The song's highly textured backdrop, comprised of skipping computer blips and clanging, whirring, industrial-sounding noises, allows Björk ample space to stretch out her elastic voice. Both a neat introduction to one of contemporary music's most singular voices and a sweet treat for the already converted, Björk's Greatest Hits is not to be missed.
