I don't think the bit of Zimbabwe that was in Don't Matter ended up in Undercover but that's how writing credits work

Way too low, but may have lost votes to the album.

oh shit
this was actually one of my least faves on the album tbh
― Simon H., Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:05 (six years ago) link
still just a mediocre retread of Silent Shout except in a major key, huge disappointment

yeah idk about this, it's ok maybe

This fever ray track grew on me a lot in the context of the album. Prefer "Mustn't Hurry" tho
― kolakube (Ross), Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:09 (six years ago) link
I know I began listening to this album once, but I can't remember if I even finished it.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:11 (six years ago) link
It's a definite grower, and there's a handful of tracks that could stack up to the first. There's also a bunch of tracks that take the internalized body horror and grief of the first and turn it outwards and in a more ramped up, percussive direction. Comparisons to the knife make sense but it's worth the price of admission
― kolakube (Ross), Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:18 (six years ago) link
Obviously Stormzy has made it to national treasure status in record time but Big For Your Boots is the one that just clicked instantly and never went away. Totally deserves its status as ubiquitous UK anthem.

Dope track

Men tend to overrate songs in which women get vulgar but "Disco Tits" is a good 'un.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:33 (six years ago) link
Helluva run this. Just clocked that I've had a veggie burger at the Bethnal Green takeaway Stormzy's on the counter of in the vid.
Disco Tits is the 1st of these today I voted for but I'm down w/ everything tbh
― lilcraigyboi (Craigo Boingo), Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:36 (six years ago) link
I like the track but the video is a bit silly
― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:36 (six years ago) link
it took me a while for it to click but this is by far the best tove lo track
i hope the other tove is still to show up but i really doubt it

Unless you've gotten head from a puppet, don't judge. xp

its placing #17 on ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2017 is not enough to convince me to listen to a song called "Disco Tits"

what if I asked you to dance to "Disco Tits"

^ I'm the #1 on this one. It was a late decision and partly strategic, but it turned out the song was doing just fine.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:46 (six years ago) link
great track

think this is the third and final of mine to place, absolute banger

hearing it now for the first time!

I like rather than love this one but this is an excellent run of songs in any case.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:49 (six years ago) link
Good start to the day. Undercover is a highlight from the album. Happy to see it here.
I really should have voted for Big For Your Boots. Probably the most fun song of the year. The way he says, "boots" will never get old. I wish the rest of the album was that good.
I've only listened to the Fever Ray album once. I enjoyed it at the time, but for some reason I haven't felt the need to go back to it yet. Some of it did seem a bit, Fever Ray/Knife by numbers.
Disco Tits is pretty enjoyable. Probably the closest I've come to really liking anything of hers since Habits. Totally agree with Johnny Fever that she's the lesser of the Toves. Mistakes really should be in here somewhere.
Only discovered the Black Madonna song when going through the Spotify playlist last month. Such a beautifully produced track. It was on my long list.
― kitchen person, Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:52 (six years ago) link
Can I just say that that Arcade Fire song is actually good and it wouldn't have totally surprised me that it would make the top 20. I mean, I didn't vote for it, but I like it. Rest of the album is terrible.
― silverfish, Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:57 (six years ago) link
A BIG YES to The Black Madonna (but then I did actually vote for "Everything Now", the first AF track I've liked in many years, so you don't want to listen to me).
― mike t-diva, Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:59 (six years ago) link
the fact that it actually got a few votes but angered the overwhelming majority made it perhaps the most effective joke entry ever
― Simon H., Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:00 (six years ago) link
Agree with "Disco Tits" being just an OK track. I still resent ILM for ignoring "Habits" when it first came out.
― daavid, Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:01 (six years ago) link
Black Madonna made my long list too, it was a nice discovery from nominations. i like the piano solo towards the end
didn't Habits place decently in 2014? nowhere near as good as Disco Tits
― ufo, Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:03 (six years ago) link
i thought it came top 20
