25. Bjork - Volta
Though the Icelandic siren is as always musically inventive and delivers beautiful “Hyperballad” song-songs like the oceanic (and slightly Homogenic) “Wanderlust” or the mysterious Antony duet “Dull Flame of Desire”, Volta is especially notable for Björk’s most strident (and f*&%king loudest) song yet, “Declare Independence”, the great Spike Jonze video for which cannot even come close to the sheer life-force and M.I.A.-besting political energy that bursts forth from its speaker-wrecking pagan bassline. Raise your flag, bitches.
