I love the layering and the keyboards." "Feels very fresh, reminds me of nature, spring. The sounds in the background remind me of the Soundcloud ad."

"The centerpiece of this records and the most distinctive song. It's appreciable how she combined flute with explosive and abrasive sounds without sounding ridicoulous." "reminds me a bit of the epic production in Mutual Core" "The verses are a bit meh.. but the chorus is gorgeous" "I drrrrrew orrrrchids on my thighs for this song" ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ #1 SAINT Overall score: 101,5 Highest: 11 (awarded by @JDi & @Super) Lowest: 7 (awarded by @Oriane & @ChavaWM) Comments "A love song to music herself. I really love the layering of her voice in this song" "A beautiful and relieving song." "Energetic but still relaxing." "one of the strongest melodies on the album , also just a really nice message to whoever she's singing about :~)" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsches 17,395 Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 SAINT is the winner of this Megarate. Wow, I really didn't see that coming. In general, I enjoyed calculating the scores, because they were so different and all over the place. It was all so close that there wasn't a clear favourite. That goes to show how complex the album is. Overall, the scores were very high, which highlights the quality we get from Björk. Utopia is the best album release this year for me and will always have a special place in my heart. I would like to thank all of you for participating. @FfFfFfFF @monsterdino @JDi @RAMROD @ChavaWM @Ugly Boy @badgirlmeat @Super @Oriane @Sestri Levante. I hope for all of you that you'll get the chance to see it performed live. I am probably going to buy tickets to see her in Portugal in August. So I'll see you there! until then....

"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" LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT FEATURES CREATURES AND THE GATE HOW DARE U GIVE FEATURES CREATURES A 2 ITS IN UTOPIAS TOP 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"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.

"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." wtf???? yall IM OUTT! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
