SELMASONGS is very much worth hearing (and DANCER IN THE DARK is very much worth seeing).
The soundtrack album actually features variations on the songs found in the film (ex: 'Scatterheart' on the album is completely different from and superior to the film version; 'I've Seen it All' on the album subs Thom Yorke on vocals for the actor from the film, etc...) So it's not absolutely necessary to see the movie to enjoy the album. (the film is still highly recommended)
The album closer 'New World' is one of my favorite Bjork songs.
