Post
Post is the second studio album by Icelandic recording artist Bjork, released on 13 June 1995 in the United Kingdom by One Little Indian and in the United States by Elektra Records. Whereas Bjork's previous album Debut (1993) was produced almost entirely by Nellee Hooper, Bjork produced Post with collaborators including Hooper, 808 State's Graham Massey, and former Massive Attack member Tricky. -Wikipedia
Critic Reviews

Slant Magazine
Post will likely always remain the Björk album that most successfully sustains her winning balance of experimental whimsy and solid pop magic.
-
Rolling Stone
When Post comes to an end, it feels like getting back from a good vacation: The last thing you want to do is re-enter the real world.
-
NME
Post’s urgent pushing in all directions at once led her to the more unified, emotionally driven, high-sheen and heavy dance-pop of ‘Homogenic’, whose steely Alexander McQueen-clad sleeve portrait announced her as high-art priestess, no longer overawed by all the experience out there, but fully in control.

BBC Music
Post’s imperially audacious design qualifies it as a timeless classic.
-
Sputnik Music
It is no doubt that Post launched Bjorks career even further than Debut ever could, and the following album, Homogenic launched it even more. Clearly this and Homogenic reign supreme in all of Bjork catalogue thus far in her career. The two albums go hand in hand like king and queen of excellent music that will be remembered for a long time. If Bjork will be able to surpass these two albums is yet to be told, but for now Bjork can only stand tall and pronounce loudly the word, “checkmate.”

All Music
The work of a constantly changing artist, Post proves that as Björk moves toward more ambitious, complex music, she always surpasses herself.
-
XS Noize
Post reveals that Bjork could exercise that demon and pull off yet another triumph with flying colours. Bjork again moves through so many genres, moods and sensations and comes out with a compelling timeless release.

Adrian's Album Reviews
It's got jazzy drums, trip-hop sequences and a completely delightful, typically idiosyncratic Bjork vocal.

Mr. Miniike's Tea-Sipping Reviews
“Unpredictable” is a good word for Post in general, but the best word is “colorful.” No two songs sound completely alike, and the result is an extremely punchy album that sounds…well, exactly like the cover. Björk herself has retained her mischievous, charismatic edge and wonderful vocals, so the soul and personality of the music remains instantly recognizable through all the hues and shades. As far as diversity goes, it’s a best-case scenario.

Daily Review
Post is where mainstream music could have gone. While modern chart music hasn’t gone there entirely, Bjork opened up the space for a more enigmatic and less readily labelled style; she undoubtedly helped broaden the playing field.
-
SoundLab
Too raw and adventurous for mass success, perhaps, but a more unique, engaging, and oddly accessible artist just doesn't exist.
-
Crack Magazine
Post was the work of a different artist. It was a voice found. Musically, warm yet aggressive electronics were at the forefront, the growing influence of Tricky’s dark and tribal take on trip-hop evident.

Stereogum
Similar to Debut, but with more: harder beats, a greater sense of interiority, and further exploration of Björk's vocal range.
