alsemanche 93,998 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Welcome to the ceremony of the Megarate of Björk’s Medúlla! The results for each song will be posted along with their highest and lowest rating users. Feel free to comment on each song after its results are posted! I will keep a short period of time before each post for that. I will also announce the winner of the Top 3 predictions when all the results are out. They will get to give two songs 11 instead of one on the next Megarate! ***** Medúlla (2004) is the fifth studio album by Björk. This album shows a great departure from her previous albums and a deeper venture into experimental music. It is primarily constructed of a cappella songs that rely greatly on human voices. Björk, pregnant at the time of production, wanted to go back to the primordial human nature devoid of tools, religions, and nationalities, a concept reflected in the title which means “marrow”. The result was a mix of beatboxing, sampled human voices, throat singing, with a light touch of instrumentation on some tracks. Electronic touches were also added to the album. Medúlla received positive reviews from critics despite its unusual composition. It peaked at #9 in the UK, and at #1 in France. In the US, Medúlla debuted at #14 on the Billboard 200, her highest debut. Tracklist: 1. Pleasure Is All Mine 2. Show Me Forgiveness 3. Where Is The Line 4. Vökuró 5. Öll Birtan 6. Who Is It 7. Submarine 8. Desired Constellation 9. Oceania 10. Sonnets / Unrealities XI 11. Ancestors 12. Mouth’s Cradle 13. Miðvikudags 14. Triumph Of A Heart ***** Participants: Spoiler @tomsches @DavidLuis198 @GaGaLB @The Idler Wheel @Mars @xdxrovied @StefanS @Davian @pop ate my heart @erotic4 @rumours @auburn @ChavaWM @littlepotter Results: Spoiler 14. Miðvikudag - 5.59 13. Öll Birtan - 6.33 12. Show Me Forgiveness - 6.87 11. Ancestors - 7.15 10. Submarine - 7.45 9. Sonnet / Unrealities XI - 8.08 8. Pleasure Is All Mine - 8.47 7. Vökuró - 8.62 6. Where Is The Line - 8.81 5. Triumph Of A Hear - 8.89 4. Mouth's Cradle - 9.01 3. Oceania - 9.24 2. Who Is It - 9.29 1. Desired Constellation - 9.63 Theoretically, a Volta Megarate should be next. However, since only 14 people submitted their ratings for this one, I am not sure whether I should continue with the Megarates or not. I will post a thread for Volta with a poll and if enough people are interested, I am more than happy to continue (even though we’ll be going at a slower rate because my classes resume next week). Otherwise, this is the last Björk Megarate (for now at least). Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
