The deluxe is utter shit. 

one thing i can definitively say is that tokyo takeover shits on all three of them
i bought the 2cd japanese deluxe so i have them all hahahahaha x

i think even having this in place of the standard is better.

i'm just gonna drop this here

i saw a post about how marina would probably write a lyric in reference to the johnny depp and amber heard trial for the next album and i have not stopped thinking about it since because it honestly seems like something she’d do after her recent albums and frankly..im sick of it 
 

If she is gonna do 2 songs for a soundtrack, do the Superbowl and then say “Ok im out, thanks”…….she can keep it. Give us an album or don’t bother Legend!

Haven't said anything yet because I wanted the album mature for a bit but that said, I've been listening to it like crazy and I love it. There's not a single bad track on the album and it feels so short after the 75 minutes of Utopia and the three interludes. However I do have to say that Ovule and especially Allow pale in comparison to the rest - Ovule is kind of forgettable in the bigger picture and despite being cute, Allow definitely feels like the Utopia outtake that it is and is immediately overshadowed by Fungal City which is one of the cutest and homeliest tracks, definitely one of the record's highlights.
 
Victimhood is amazing, it reminds me of late Jóhann Jóhannsson's work at times and gives Hans Zimmer's Blade Runner 2049 score vibes. I was astonished by Freefall, her vocals are so good in the first half but oh my god the strings in the second half are so beautiful. Atopos is a good opening track and sets the mood for the record quite well, and the title track remains one of the superior tracks on the record - despite me listening to it like a lunatic the outro is still so insane. When I first listened to the record in full I listened to my CD rip which has Ican's vocals on the title track and I found them distracting and they watered the outro down for me so I'll just keep listening to the digital version with B's vocals only.
 
Summa summarum, despite me expecting just a little more gabber it's a cohesive body of work, quality from beginning to the end and I'll spend a lot more time listening to it. That said it's too early to know where I would rank it in her discography but as for the time being it's a bop and I doubt I'll change my mind about it being so. However I would trade Allow for a longer Trölla-Gabba with vocals, Allow is so repetitive turning it into an interlude instead wouldn't take anything away from it.
 
Highlights (in tracklist order): Atopos, Ancestress, Victimhood, Fungal City, Freefall, Fossora

Well alright here's my ranked based on Last.fm scrobbles and also most listened track from each
 
01. Utopia (Losss)
02. Vulnicura (Notget)
03. Homogenic (Hunter)
04. Vespertine (Pagan Poetry)
05. Post (Army of Me)
06. Biophilia (Mutual Core)
07. Debut (Human Behaviour)
08. Volta (Wanderlust)
09. Medúlla (Triumph of a Heart)
 

UrbanVPN works amazingly and it's 100% free

Not her saying Mutual Core would've been better with strings (Vulnicura live version ) but she had already set her mind on Biophilia being an organ album... it's still a bop wdym
 
Also 40 listens on repeat later and I just can't get enough of the title track  it's so much fun and she's insane for the last bit

Atopos is kinda more suitable as the lead single
 
But I agree, Fossora deserves at least a music video too. Fucking insane song, excellent. 

My fav artist of all time, even the albums that don't resonate with me as much as the others (Debut, Volta, Utopia) I still very much respect. Everything from Fossora is amazing so far and it's looking very likely to be in my top three.

shes on another level, i feel so proud of her

shes SICK FOR THIS
 
SIIIIIIIIIIICK 
 

Behold this absolute fucking bop 
 

FooooOOOOOoooooOSoooora
 

 
The last minute:

 
I absolutely love it 

My face listening to the last 90 seconds of Fossora 

to me it ended after 911 mv 

This is image hurts my brain so badly, whoever did the artwork needs firing. The album cover is also atrocious what was she thinking.

The new Pitchfork article was so much fun to read. Absolutely love her

ANCESTRESS TOMORROW

Thank god Sindri really ended up just doing backing vocals and not actual verses just as I hoped  Tbh I could've been good without the glockenspiel(?) and just the strings and beats but it's beautiful nevertheless. Can't wait for it to grow on me once I listen to it more (on my second one rn...)
 
Also for those who haven't read the Pitchfork article we'll be getting a video for the song as well, shot by a volcano
