L+F being her longest standard album and yet still the least performed in her set  Same thing that happened on tour, God bless her

right? I'm also mad we didn't get more of the b-roll footage, she fumbled making them herself then fumbled an opportunity of just posting them to tumblr and letting her fans make their own edits. I think that b-roll footage should have been used in the title track's music video, that video was such a letdown when I saw it (it's still iconic though)
I think they were more sub-types under the archetypes (a bubblegum bitch being under teen idle), but I agree, I'm glad she realised that early on though
edit so I don't double post: one thing about the 'british press hated electra heart' whilst true, and likely due to misogyny, she did badly explain the concept in the beginning. people thought it was an alter ego, then she had to retract that. (maybe she wanted it to be an 'alter ego' at first and then realised people didn't like that idea and decided to retcon it)

I don't get how she even fumbled that
they were potato-quality photoshoot B-roll footage set to GarageBand edits of existing album tracks

I agree with most of you said in this thread but this definitely not. Her manager Derek MacKillop did not allow her to make Die Life because she wanted it to be exclusively under Marina brand and Electra Heart to be her seperate identity, which I think would be absolutely glorious because she would simultaneously not offend her previous TFJ fans (who were also disgusted by EH sound, really, British press especially) and still hit the charts. She had hits in EH era not because she was already known thanks to TFJ but because they had great pop potential and big producers. Also her anonymity would sparkle even more interest I suppose. Unfortunately no label would make such a risk and fund two albums at the same time and spend money on a big pop campaign with Dr. Luke production and Madonna/Katy Perry ambitions for Marina's experiment, technically a brand new artist.

And also the antithesis of everything feminist she has said in the past decade

I don't like to be so harshly critical of modern MARINA; yeah her lyrics are simpler but she still has some bangers. I feel like "Soft to Be Strong" would have fit nicely on FROOT, the title track of ADIAML is a well-produced career highlight and so is "End of the Earth"  shoutouts to "Venus Fly Trap" and "Handmade Heaven"

I think it'd be cool if Marina went as far as possible down the retro scifi/outer-space vibe of ADIAML (song) and FROOT (song) for a whole album, that's my favorite little corner of her discography  Marina & the Aliens

Probably cuz she was thinking Lover was gonna be her last successful (if even that) pop era before she falls victim to industry ageism and she was scared
