alsemanche 92,814 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Welcome to the Megarate of Homogenic by Björk! From now on, we will have a twist! See below for more information on that. I am going to be doing a series of Björk Megarates over the upcoming few weeks. The plan is to go over the albums in chronological order for as long as people are interested in participating. Last week, we rated Post. This week, we will be going over Homogenic. *** Homogenic (1997) is the third studio album by Björk. The album marked a stylistic change to her artistry, combining electronic, volcanic beats and string instruments with songs in tribute to her native country Iceland, overlaid with powerful and captivating vocals. Marking a turn away from shiny experimental pop towards darker, more challenging themes, it set the tone for Björk's boldest and most innovative work. It is considered to be her best album by many of her fans. Homogenic received very high critical acclaim upon release, with many critics ranking it among the best albums of its year. It also debuted and peaked at #28 in the Billboard 200. Homogenic is still considered one of the best albums of all time, and Björk’s most groundbreaking work. Tracklist: 1. Hunter 2. Jóga 3. Unravel 4. Bachelorette 5. All Neon Like 6. 5 Years 7. Immature 8. Alarm Call 9. Pluto 10. All Is Full of Love (Howie’s Version) 11. All Is Full of Love (Original Version) 12. So Broken 13. Sod Off 14. My Snare/Nature is Ancient Note: All Is Full of Love (Howie’s Version) is the version that appears on the album, while the second version in the tracklist is the original mix which Björk first made, and which appears in the music video. *** Submit your rates here: https://forms.gle/xwg7EWtvPJtLmKPu5 We will be rating all the songs on the standard edition of the album, in addition to four bonus tracks: All Is Full of Love (Original Version), So Broken, Sod Off, My Snare/Nature is Ancient. Links for the album and the bonus tracks are posted below.

Twist! In the ranking form, you will notice that the last question is a required prediction of the Top 3. Here is the fun twist: every voter will predict the Top 3 tracks and whoever gets it right first will get to give a 15 instead of an 11 on the next Megarate. If no one gets it right, I will try to find the person with the closest prediction (correct songs but different order, most correct songs, etc.) and declare them as winner!
