I've just seen somebody putting Joga at #9 in their lead single list so I need to join the list game.

Joga
Hidden Place
Earth Intruders​

10/10

Human Behaviour
Army Of Me​

8,5/10

Stonemilker​

7/10

Atopos (Tentatively)
Oceania​

5/10

Crystalline​

2/10

The Gate​

 

[Karvel]

The Gate is nice though.

I don’t really consider Oceania to be the lead single from Medúlla, it never got a commercial physical release and only got a music video later on… the actual single was Who Is It. But it was indeed the first song we heard from the album.

I love "The Gate." It's definitely "easier" to listen to than "Atopos." It's just glacially paced so you really gotta be ready for that.

 

[Up N Down]

When the beat drops out and then kicks in again.

Joga
Stonemilker
Army Of Me

Easy and obvious ranking.

People on her official forum and Reddit are saying that they think the song is about Arca. I mean, I guess it’s possible.

 

[man.tis.shrimp]

Did they have a falling out or something?

 

[Crisp X]

I've heard "atopos" only once this morning before I had to leave for work, and I couldn't stop thinking about it and the video all day long. It's both extremely catchy and weird, which isn't new for her, but something about the out there mix of very disparate sounds this time caught me off guard. It's been a while since something left this much of a confused impression on me. I can already tell it's one of those I'm going to remember my first listen of for a very long time. She's really in a league on her own.

Lead single rankings...

Joga
Hidden Place
Stonemilker
Oceania
Human Behaviour
Army of Me
Atopos (very very early impression)
The Gate
Crystalline
Earth Intruders

For the record, I think these are all very good.

 

[Andy French]

Jóga really is a masterpiece

 

[beautifulmorning]

Did they have a falling out or something?

That’s what I was wondering. No idea.

 

[soratami]

The lyrics are pretty universal, I really doubt they're supposed to be about anyone in specific.

 

[Cutlery]

I doubt there will be negative feelings about Arca shown in any of these upcoming songs, particularly when Allow is supposed to be about their blooming relationship since the Vulnicura days

They’re all amazing (especially that top 5), I just wish The Gate had clicked more with me.

Oceania
The Gate
Crystalline

 

[Ana Raquel]

1. Army of Me
10. The Gate

I don't know how to rank the rest. That being said, Atopos would be high. If the gabber/hardstyle/techno sounds as good on the other songs, it might become my favorite album of hers?

 

[man.tis.shrimp]

This has cast some kind of wicked spell on me. Listened to little else all day.
