When you've got the post copy-and-pasted and your MacBook restarts. wtf.
5 - Unison - 9
Highest Score - 10 (Dilettante, βØΔ, Wicked, conatus, HausOfGerard, Enne Driver., Moonview, MaRy, Eeveelution)
Lowest Score - 5.5 (RatedG²)
What an incredible closer. The is probably the most accomplished song on Vespertine, it’s faultless from the edited vocals at the beginning to the gentle pounding at the end. I love the way she phrases the words in the verses, I love the simple instruments at the beginning which build to a huge crescendo, I love the pretty vocals in the chorus, I love the lyrics (she ain’t like the other girls, she wants a gardener), especially in the verses. I can’t fault it. I would’ve been happy if this won. A worthy final album track, I’m delighted it did so well.
An album is about to get punched out. Post or Vespertine, which shall it be?

Unison is definitely in her top 5 best songs, for a while it was my favourite Bjork song.

Just to highlight, that means we only have singles remaining.
Hyperballad, Jóga, Bacherlorette and Pagan Poetry are still in the running. All of them were at least Top 2 at some point.

Sure, Jan. 
I don't think I made you listen to the winning song that time, so.

It's up there with Jóga, Oceania and Black Lake tbh.

Hyperballad is wayyyy too high, though.

ddd I agree with hyperballad being too high. Ideally it'd be in top 15 for me but not top 10.

Eh, it's one of my favorite songs of hers, but I think it should be eliminated now.
4. Hyperballad
3. Joga / Pagan
2. Joga / Pagan
1. Bachelorette

I lied. The answer is... both!
3 - Hyperballad/Pagan Poetry - 9.03333333333333
Hyperballad Highest Score - 10 (βØΔ, Wicked, HausofGerard, Dot, Enne Driver., Moonview Bloomers, Eeveelution)
Hyperballad Lowest Score - 5 (Lifeline)
Pagan Poetry Highest Score - 10 (Dilettante, βØΔ, Wicked, conatus, Dot, Enne Driver., Moonview, MaRy, RatedG², Eeveelution)
Pagan Poetry Lowest Score - 3 (HausOfGerard)
Kiii @ the blatant PP sabotage. That 3 originally knocked it all the way out of the Top 20. 
PP is a masterpiece, the ‘blueprint of the pleasure in me’ line gets me every time. The breakdown with the choir of Björk’s, the iconic video, the prettiness of it all, the great title. 
Hyperballad is cute but I’m happy it didn’t win. Too long to get to the good bit.

And that leaves us with a Homogenic double at the Top 2.
Who do you think will win, Bachelorette or Jóga?

If I didn't forget to do this rate, Hyperballad would be a lot lower tbh.
But aw, I was hoping for PP and Joga f2

Unison deserved better.  I hope Joga wins tho, cos Bachelorette is NOT her best song.

I should've dragged it harder. I would've given it a lower score once I saw the rankings, but tbh it didn't win so it didn't matter.

I like Hyperballad but a 10? fff my opinions of some of these songs have changed a lot.
Pagan Poetry is kind of her best song. The video.
