"This album has two of the best Bjork Bsides, Sod Off (amazing and empowered) and So Broken (tragic fighting against inevitable heartbreak). The others are Play Dead, Sweet Intuition (It's Oh So Quiet Single 2) and Charlene (Isobel single). So go buy! Find!"
Five stars? Give it ten! - So Broken is a triumph!

"Well... Joga is a great song. It has all the Bjorkean elements that we like so much. But among all the four tracks presented on this single, one simply stands as, perhaps, one of the saddest songs ever sung. The lyrics are beautiful and the music is well written. But it is its simplicity and Bjork's performance that makes it shine. Simplicity because it uses only two spanish guitars (wisely separated for two channels) and Bjork's crushed, heartbroken, crying voice. This track is almost six minutes long and the singer carefully constructs a crescendo of heartbroken feelings that literally end up in a desperate cry of pain. This one song is a showcase for Bjork: it takes us back to those milestone songs (and singers) who made history with their powerhouse performances (like Brel's "Ne Me Quitte Pas"). It's simply one of those songs/performances who are able to transmit a state of feeling that leaves no one indifferent. A triumph of performance! A triumph of production! A must buy!"
So Broken is so good......

"This album alone should be purchased for the last track So Broken. I first heard this song at a friends party and ever since then i tried desperatly to find it........then i did and i now listen to this song on repeat constantly. The other songs on this single are great also but So Broken takes the cake.This song shows how versitile Bjork is. There is no other instrument except Bjorks voice and a spanish guitar. This song will leave you breathless and wanting more. It's a very sad song yet i can't get enough of it. It makes me want to Flemenco dance.Every hardcore Bjork fan should here this song."
Bjork....

"joga is possibly the greatest bjork song created,but the b sides on this single are well worth a spin, "so broken "with a bit of a flamenco , spanish sound and "sod off "which i like lyrically are lovely."
Great b-sides!

"I love this single! The b-sides alone make it worth getting. My heart just breaks when I hear her on "Sod Off". She has such power in her music. A must have!"
