Nabozo, if you can put that in the form of an email, I'll let your ballot slip in. I'm not revealing until next week.

Alternatively, if you just want me to count all 30 of those as "unranked," I can do that too.

Nevermind, I saw you indicated "unranked." Will add you to the mix.

Thank you ! Robot french kisses to you.

By the way, my most recent listen to Volta was not unpleasant.

I was reading a similar poll on another site from a few years back and they were very keen on Volta overall. I had never heard it before last month, was very keen at first but went off it a bit, only one track was in my final ballot

Waiting for the poll results and listening to a tracks that never really stuck with me. And coming across "Foot Soldier," I'm thinking that's one of the first examples of a Bjork track that vocally is entirely made up of the the "auto-Bjork-isms" phenomenon that mars a lot of her later work. No meter, no rhyme, mostly stock melodic phrasings (swooping from a low to higher note repeatedly), etc. It's weird, because the b-sides of that era are otherwise some of her more melodically compelling work (i.e. "Generous Palmstroke," "Domestica," etc.)?

For comparison:
