    I think it's a sign on how good the album is when everyone has to argue which songs are they think are the worst/ best.

    So the lyrics are different to those that leaked for Gold. ... The real version has a line about the midas touch that was added, and cut the would-be-iconic "girls just wanna have fund$" line.

    MARINA HAS SPOKEN: "There will always be cheap people around. As long as you’re not hanging out with them, who cares?" - her just now on twitter. She just called y'all fake hoes cheap.

    This is a damn tragedy. I have no words. I hope there is some glimmer of a chance this is kept on the DL and Marina doesn't find out. I am genuinely upset it leaked this early.

    Saw this on tumblr and it is so, so appropriate: Florence: What do you want the new music to be like? Me: Just fuck me up, Florence.

    I mean Charli is right. In no way did Marina make Charli famous. Marina isn't even famous. Iggy didn't even make Charli famous. Charli made Iggy famous, because no one would have gave a fuck about Fancy if it wasn't for her. It's been Charli's own knack for creating catchy ass choruses that got her to where she is right now. and certainly not a song w marina that didnt even have a proper release
  11. Lurk totally ended up being one of my favorite songs of 2014 tbh.

    I feel like we've waited so long for new music, at this point NONE of us are gonna be ready for what's about to drop. EDIT: Is this new?

    Waiting to buy tix until the full tour begins, since the closest show is like 3 hours away. HOWEVER, Idolator emailed me today and I'm one of the winners of their contest to win signed fake Froot from Marina!!

    Sorry, just to clarify: I think some of the instrumentals of EH were lifeless (definitely not the lyrics). It was just a bit too squeaky clean pop for me, although M did want that and it did fit the whole "everything is perfect on the outside but inside i wanna die' vibe. I digress though.

    Not to beat a dead horse, because my opinions are similar to many of them posted before me, but here's what I think of the era so far. 1. The VISUALS of this era, froot/neon/space/nature, were a very strong choice on Marina's part, but I think they are loosing a bit of translation in the visuals actually being made. For the most part, I think the photography has been on point with her vision (especially the album cover and Immortal cover), and obviously the icons of the Froots and website/packing designs. The videos is where visually things have gotten a bit messier, but I don't think that is all M's fault, if at all. With the videos, she isn't really the top dog in charge anymore. There's directors who want their vision to come to life, and may disagree with M's (even though they should do what she wants). In the interview that came out today from the German website, M said that she wanted the Froot video to be more futuristic, but the Director insisted that they make her look old hollywood glam. Now with the content of the videos themselves, I think M has always had the problem of videos without much action and plot. Almost all of her videos look really beautiful, but it's just M looking nice and twirling and making grand arm gestures. She really needs to work on this. There doesn't necessarily have to be a plot since this isn't a concept album like EH, but often times just more scenes or actions for M to do would help tremendously. Also stop cutting out portions of the song for God's sake. You wouldn't have to do that if stuff actually happened in your video that took up more time. I also fully realize the M doesn't have tons of money to throw at her videos, and I think the fact that she has had visuals for every song so far is a great achievement. 2. LYRICS- I'm not going to take into much consideration the lyrics of the unreleased songs, in case things had been changed since they were posted. Looking at the songs that have been releases thus far, I think they are pretty strong and lyrically a hybrid of TFJ and EH. The themes are more general like EH, but have the hint of eccentricity and snark that TFJ had. Marina's strong suit has always been he use of description language and metaphors, and in that I think Froot is the most well written song. Happy lacks a bit of something to me, but I love the verses. IAR doesn't have the best chorus. I don't think I would change anything lyrically about Immortal. 3. SONICALLY- I am not over impressed with the production so far, but not displeased either. I think he vocal mixing has been great, and the melodies have been pretty strong (not crazy about Immortal though). Her voice sounds nice, but I don't feel like she is vocally challenging herself. I would like to hear more experimenting with the instruments tbh. That is something great in TFJ, and I think Froot would really benefit from a few weird instruments since she's trying to take us to another world that's a bit kooky at times. It totes has more life than the EH instrumentals though. Overall, I am really happy with this era. I think she's putting out solid quality work, and I haven't been wholly dissatisfied with anything yet. I also admire her marketing plans. Truthfully, I am most happy that Marina is happy. To know that she really believes in this and is in love with what she's doing is the best feeling for me. Something that makes it difficult to be a Lana stan at times. That is all. For now.
  18. Definitely low key obsessed with this show. Jill and Mellisa follow me on twitter lamo
  19. Rob confirmed that the Gramma mentioned in this song is named Cynthia not Madeline (Lana's "m" tattoo). IDK if she is Rob or Pat's mother. Not sure how relevant this is, but thought it was interesting.

    At least since I'm A Ruin is the first single, maybe they actually put some money into it's video. Not that it's Marina's fault, but I'm tried of all her low budget videos 4 minutes of marina looking pretty and doing big arm motions ...

    The time is coming. Come on Flo, baby, take us to church with these new tunes.

    Charli XCX

    I'm a guy, and I really liked the video/ was not put off by it at all. I understood it was just a classic boy vs girl kind of video, and was supposed to over the top. It didn't make me think that Charli hates boys and whats to torture them all or something. A little besides the point, but she also said that Breaking Up is the least personal song on the album. It's a fictional story.
  24. From what I've seen, most people seem to agree that is a collab with the lead singer of Fun. That being said, I've been waiting for it's release since Emile posted it, because it sounds so heavenly.

    Charli XCX

    I just got the version they brought out to me. I've never known Target to sell clean ones (unlike Godforsaken Walmart). It's not marked clean or edited anywhere, and I actually haven't seen any copies of sucker online with the 'parental advisory' sticker. Only 'fuck' in sucker was beeped out, no other words. Another kinda weird thing though is that the cover art doesn't have her name at the top like all the digital covers.
