I remember the fucking wait with the Froot of the Month being absolutely unbearable! Amazing era though, it feels like her last real one

So I got the necklace and the lighter… and.. I‘m asking for a refund! It looks so cheap and it’s full of scratches 😕 I’m really disappointed 

I think Froot is also loved for the sentiment. It kinda felt like a full circle moment for Marina and her fans. The roll out of the album was great (with the froot of the month), she made the album on her own, she made peace with no going fully commercial & lyrically Happy is a song that adds to the full circle moment of Marina being in a happier place herself. 

Overall I've always ranked the albums like: TFJ > EH > Froot > ADIAMW > L&F
TFJ & EH are musically really really good, putting TFJ is because I personally enjoy the more indie/newwave sound over the full pop.
Froot has some really high peaks with the title track & Happy, but also has some skips (weeds, better than that, gold). The lyrics and music seems to become a bit more basic than her first two albums
ADIAMW has actually less skips but is a little bit on the nose with the lyrics at times. But I don't dislike any of the songs on there.
L&F is just basic pop. Handmade heaven, To be human & End of the earth are nice. The other songs ain't terrible, it's just not on the same level as her other work. 

wasn’t control just a demo of forget? 

my mum doesn't like froot because she thinks all the tracks sound the same  its her most cohesive album by far 

Well, tbh I am the one who feels like Froot is perfectly cohesive. I am surprised to see you think otherwise.

Post FROOT albums simply aren't as good as her first 3 LPs. Case closed 

You can see the difference living in LA has done to her songwriting. The industry is so close knit it’s crucial she holds onto her roots or she can very easily become homogenized and uninspired. This is why so many artists tend to decline in quality after their first/second record

ftb aged like 2 hours after release, the tracklist is too random to treat this album seriously

The label decides.. it’s blatant they’ve shelved her, it happens to artists all the time. It’s exactly what’s been happening with all the records she’s made under capitol & didn’t get to put out before As If-Night Time. Night Time was a major FINALLY moment for the fans, it’s a miracle it ever even saw the light of day. Given her outspokenness & the antiquated misogynistic mindset the execs at one of the world’s biggest labels have (the office in LA is beyond superfluous and massive) it fully feels like a power position for not playing the game the way they’ve wanted her to since Obsession

Hillside Boys has a monster of a chorus

I think the tour was testing the waters. Clearly her fanbase is still here which should motivate her for a bigger tour, and an album.

I think maybe cause of the L+F 'drama' around the acoustics?
for those that don't know/weren't there: she announced an acoustic version of baby which tbh I think a lot of people wanted (including me) as it's very obvious the song was too fast for her (which she admitted it herself & was having nightmares about it lol) then it was released and it was literally just the song with some stems removed/changed. she got a bit uptight/self righteous on twitter that fans were disappointed and said something like 'acoustic just means blah blah', which considering all her previous acoustic versions were live (sounding) acoustics I really don't think it was unreasonable for fans to expect live acoustics.
then she was asked if she would do love + fear acoustics and she said yes, made everyone wait like 7 months to basically pull the same thing as the baby acoustic, orange trees is practically the same, superstar wasn't that much difference, no more suckers was pretty much reproduced iirc but it sound really clear to me they just took her vocal sessions from the album and changed the instrumental I really doubt she did any more vocal takes. people were just upset that they weren't live acoustics, especially after the serve of the froot acoustic sessions. (though all of her eras have really great acoustic versions) also the song choices were weird.
I think this is why we got 'man's world (stripped)' because if she called it 'man's world (acoustic)' it would be the same drama again
