    not even the setlist, but her performance. she either just sat or stood while singing them.

    :magikarp:

    i'm so late but yes. i completely agree. It was kinda ummm soulless, which is really sad. She sounded amazing but barely moved during the whole video. I was so frustrated watching LOTP, one of the most energetic songs on Cape God, being sung by Allie sitting still for 3 minutes... if I had known that she would later give it for free for Christmas ummm I would've saved my money

    Ugh, she's losing momentum with her lack of promo and updates 

     

    If I were here I would have released a live version on YouTube and a bunch of remixes of Man's World. 

     

    I miss her TFJ and EH promo days full of acoustics, remixes, bsides, covers, alternate versions, etc. 

    exactly. What was fun about Marina was that she built an entire world around her music and implemented so many elements on her eras up to the point that they felt really vibrant and vivid. Now it's like "oh cool new music" and that's probably where it ends :c

    sorry but how is born to die a concept album? it’s just a sad songs inspired album :biblio:

    yeah BTD is really great but it's just like FN, it has a strong distinct sound and a bunch of songs attached to that sound with no storyline whatsoever...


  3. girls night out is filled with such a vibrant energy. I love that song so much :ohno: I hope she doesn't take it out of the setlist when the pandemic ends and she does live shows again, I've been waiting to hear it for such a long time ):


  4. The fact that she has consistently created musical gems for years. Of course there have been moments in her career where I have felt like she was changing her direction too drastically, or moment when I felt like she was starting to lose me, but I always come back to her with all my heart :ohno: I'm so happy to be her fan and to be able to enjoy her music, because she's a genius


  5. I remember the week prior to the release and how excited I was. The Instagram video snippets, the Tumblr Q&A, the mass upload to SoundCloud the day before, the Sippy Cup photoshoot, the excitement and the whole vibe. Even tho many things changed after the allegations, the hiatus and the disappointment that came with K-12, Cry Baby was and is still a very inspiring album, and it's very close to my heart :ohno: :flutter: :wub: There's so many memories attached to it ♡ 

    So guyssss, what's your favorite song from ittttt? Mine was ALWAYS Training Wheels, but I dedicated it to someone horrible and ruined it so... it's probably TYI now LMAO


  6. I still feel Something was their best work. Don't get me wrong, the polish in Moth was IT. but Something came after high expectations from "mainstream" fans who literally found out about them due to the iPod commercial, and a rioting "indie" scene who criticized them for doing so (what I find completely ridiculous, it doesn't make you a good fan or true music savvy to not want commercial success for anyone, it's just plain toxic). Also, Aaron had left the band after a lot of drama.

    The producers they worked with are IT. Jorge Elbrecht, Dan Carey, Josh Ascalon... And also, it was the very first time Caroline had a more active role besides vocals and keyboards, and Patrick producing.

     

    My favorite tracks are the more unconventional ones, where you really feel Cocteau Twins, Bjork and Air influences (like Turning, Amanaemonesia and Peculiar Paradise).

     

    I feel really heartbroken for their breakup. I even found out they came as MGMT's support band some time to my country and I didn't even know them at that time.

    Definitely agree. Something is just, WOW, what an album, it's filled with gems


  7. I still can't get over People Are Strangers. I listened to it everyday while I was going through the toughest period of my life 2 months ago, and it's just... it's a magical song. It made me feel somewhere else every time I played it
