UGH I never saw this thread up until now so I missed the voting 
Well I'd literally rate everything a 10/10 anyways so it's better off this way.
Ya'll did NOT do Numbersus like this. It should've been top 10  Hours should've been the first out of LP1

Great eliminations so far 
Numbers is a headache-inducing mess. The only bad song on LP1.

Not you expecting this thread to be packed after abandoning it for months and notifying everyone literally 3 minutes before you started the reveals.

Weak Spot and Numbers are literally two of her best songs. This rate should have been cancelled with these tragic results.

“Preface” is a song that I will continue to defend as I believe that it’s the perfect opener for LP1, and I don’t think that it should be seen as inferior to the other songs on the album due to its length. Like I said earlier, maybe if “Wet Wipez” was included on the album instead of “Preface” then “Wet Wipez” would have been much higher in this rate.
Austin: an intriuging but ultimately annoying start to LP1. I do think the mantra repeated in this song sums up twigs and the general feel of her music

The opener from EP2 (which for me was my first introduction to the wonderful world of FKA twigs) is just completely stunning. The production is beautiful and I wish this could have gone a bit further in this rate. I don’t think this is the worst track on EP2 either (Ultraviolet…)
Austin: a nice, vibey song, but other than that i don't feel strongly about it. it also annoys me that she always ends her live shows with this song, it always feels like an anti-climax

Am I the only one who thinks "Numbers" is lowkey the worst song on LP1? I mean, it's still about an 8/10, but I just do not enjoy it as much as the singles.
Either way, "In Time" will snatch.
Honestly, TRF.

I actually used to think of this song as kinda filler on LP1, but it was Austin’s 11 for this song that really inspired me to GET INTO IT, and now I enjoy it a lot more than I used to. It’s so beautiful and ethereal.
Austin: after some deliberation, I've come to the conclusion this is my favourite twigs song. It has this transcandental choral vibe that literally puts me into a trance. When I first listened to LP1, this song slipped under the radar - but after multiple listens I have really come to appreciate it. The lyrics are beautiful too.

This is probably my least favourite track on EP2 and it feels quite anticlimactic to end the EP on its low point, especially considering how amazing Papi Pacify and Water Me are (and Water Me would have worked really well as the closer, actually). It’s pretty good though!
Austin: this song starts off as a 10/10 but it rapidly descends into a 3/10, so i will score it somewhere in the middle
1. How’s That (#21, 7.484)
2. Papi Pacify
3. Water Me
4. Ultraviolet (#19, 7.531)

I don’t have much more to say than what Austin’s said about this song. It’s a great song and my second favourite song on the EP, only losing out to Hide. I think that this rate has ordered this EP perfectly from my least favourite to favourite, so I’m pleased. Actually quite surprised this lasted as long as it did.
Austin: amazing, really an early example of her potential.

Y’ALL DID THIS WRONG. THIS IS ONE OF TWIGS’ BEST SONGS I’m so annoyed that this has left as soon as it has, and I think at least deserves an 8+ average. Thinking on the positive side, this is the last song without an 8+ average. But oh my god, please go back and listen to this masterpiece, and think about what you’ve done.
Austin: this is in my top 3 twigs songs. It's sexy, mysterious and melancholic - what's not to like?

As the host of the M3LL155X album survivor, it was no surprise to me to see this is the first track out from twigs’ latest release M3LL155X. I thought that the video version of this from the G&P video was gorgeous so it was almost strange hearing it as a full song on the EP. I don’t think that it’s brilliant but it’s quite good (even if I still sorta prefer the video version - I wish that was a full song!). Also, the tracklist for M3LL155X needs some moving around.
Austin: one of her weirdest songs, i don't understand wtf she is talking about, but i love it
1. Figure 8
2. I’m Your Doll
3. In Time

This song is a truly wonderful thing. From the first few rankings I was getting, it was looking like this song was going to be an earlier out, but I’m glad the higher ratings picked up for this song towards the end. This is one of my favourite twigs songs lyrically. It’s provocative and it’s awesome.
Austin: a creepy and thrilling song. the video is also my favourite from her.
