tomsches 17,397 Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 #13 THE GATE/FEATURES CREATURES The Gate: Highest score: 9 (awarded by @RAMROD & @Sestri Levante) Lowest score: 5 (awarded by @Super) Comments: "just a little too long for me" "I can't with she repeating "I care for you" for 3 minutes" "It take some listens to really appreciate it and I think the focal point of the song are the background vocals." "Beautiful and relaxing, it stucks in your head « I care for you... »" "totally transcendent" "I care for this song" "I love the intro. The song itself is hypnotic almost as if she was meditating" ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Features creatures Highest score: 10 (awarded by @monsterdino & @badgirlmeat) Lowest score: 2 (awarded by me ) Comments: "i LOVE the lyrics , plus the melody is so ****ed its just genius" "Quiet and peaceful." "One of the most memorable of all these meditative wind-y flute songs." "One of the worst songs she has ever written. And such a disappointment, because when I first read about the concept of the song in August, I was sooo looking forward to it. Also when we found out that she was going to use those tubes by Sarah Hopkins as instruments I wanted to hear the song so bad. But I don't like the song itself, because the melody of the instrumental is not as good as it could be and the melody Björk sings doesn't seem to do well with the instrumental" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsches 17,397 Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 #11 BLISSING ME Overall score: 82 Highest score: 10 ( @Super ) Lowest score: 4 ( @monsterdino ) Comments: "Really enjoy this one" "I love how tender the harp is, but I wish the beats were somehow louder." "Beautiful and quiet, relaxing." " the most obvious throwback to vespertine - have to take points off for the melody which i feel becomes extremely repetitive" "I love harps. Nice song but not a standout" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsches 17,397 Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 #10 COURTSHIP Overall score: 83,4 Highest score: 10 (awarded by me and @RAMROD) Lowest Score: 5 (awarded by @JDi) Comments "Next to Arisen, my favourite song. I love it so much." "such a fun beat ! ! ! didn't expect this kind of vibe on the album , tho its nothing totally mindblowing" "Very energetic and light, with a nature vibe too." "I like its fast tempo, the fast speed of the flutes and its sound in general." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsches 17,397 Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 #9 BODY MEMORY Overall score: 83,5 Highest score: 11 ( @Sestri Levante & @monsterdino ) Lowest score: 3 ( @Ugly Boy) Comments "Black Lake is much more superior, this almost goes nowhere for me" "I love how dark, dramatic and meditative it is." "This one is a bit darker... The weird sounds (a monster or a tiger?) kind of scare me." "one of the only bjork songs i've ever disliked - the only redeeming quality is the lyrics imo :~(" "The problem with this song is that it reaches its peak after 2-3 minutes, but then it drags on for another 7 minutes without really going anywhere. When I first heard it I was surprised because of the negative reception it got, because I actually liked it a lot. But now I don't really listen to it that often because of its length and repetitiveness. I think the wolve sounds are great. I also think the lyrics create a very interesting imagery, but I don't really know what they are talking about." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsches 17,397 Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 I'm shocked. BODY MEMORY has received 11 points twice, still it's so low on the list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really like the instrumental." "It's hard to get into this song." "love the production, for some reason I see this song as a part 2 to Hunter" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsches 17,397 Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 #7 TABULA RASA Overall score: 85,8 Highest score: 11 (awarded by Badgirlmeat) Lowest score: 5 (awarded by JDi & Monsterdino) Comments "Similar with Sue Me, and like most of these songs it could pass either as a pastoral ballad or vague ambient electronic poem." "It's quiet, the instruments and the voice are beautiful." "perfect song" "The Pneumonia of Utopia" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsches 17,397 Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 #6 FUTURE FOREVER Overall score: 89,5 Highest score: 11 (Ugly Boy) Lowest score: 4 (monsterdino) Comments "totally took my breath away - best song she's written since 'all is full of love' imo and my absolute favourite from the album" "A very good final song, soft and relaxing like most of the album." "Very much in the same vein as Saint." "Unfortunately, I don't listen to this song that much because it's the last song and the album is so long. I have a rather hectic lifestyle at the moment with a lot of things to do and since FF is last, I don't reach it a lot of times. It's a very good song though. It's only problem is that it comes right after Saint." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsches 17,397 Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 #5 UTOPIA Overall score: 90,7 Highest score: 11 (Ramrod & oriane) Lowest score: 6 (ChavaWM & Monsterdino) Comments: "Something I've never heard from B. Her high voice is breathtaking. this song describes the whole vibe of the album for me. The flute arrangements are so cool. This song shows what a talented composer Björk truly is" "Production was too beautiful for very short verses" "I picture this song with both tropical and northern landscapes." "A beautiful mix with classical music, it makes you feel you're in the Garden of Eden." "a little plain as a title track but the flute arrangement is just incredible " Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsches 17,397 Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 #4 SUE ME Overall score: 94,5 Highest score: 10 (me, Ramrod, ChavaWM & Badgirlmeat) Lowest score: 5 (Sestri Levant) Comments "Sue me." "i find the flutes a lil distracting and i wish they were less prominent , just bc the beat + hook is so ****ing cool" "I like the atmosphere but it lacks something." "One of the most captivating song of the records (I love the mysterious synths and the polyphonic outtro)" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
