Time for another rant
 
I truly have no idea why people are complaining so much about this era's theme. TFJ didn't have one. If you are basing your judgement from EH: the "concept" was basically just the name alone. There was no storyline, and the idea of the Archetypes came just as late in the album process as this albums (in both she looked at the songs she had made and thought "huh I guess this fits with this idea). She also came up with Froot of the month like the month before she released the song. That campaign idea makes even less sense than this. Literally what did any of those froots have to do with the songs? The froots for the singles didn't even match with the scratch and sniff froots for each song. She's never had a 100% thought-out theme for a record. She just makes music and then looks back and realizes she can package it in a certain way. If anything, Love + Fear matches the creative vision of EH.
 
I love the idea for each era, but I also find it annoying that some of you act like she suddenly didn't have an idea for a theme or that she spent the bulk of the last two years centering everything around the Love + Fear idea. Next time she should just put a collection of songs onto SoundCloud, I figure y'all will complain just as much about it.

Omg quit complaining so much and just enjoy the album jesus christ
 
We waited FOUR YEARS FOR THIS! We will ENJOY IT EVEN IF WE DON'T WANNA!

it's good y'all just deaf

Hermit the Frog is really THAT song isn't it?
 
"An ExploooooooOoOoOsion comes in TiiiiiiiiiIiIiIiImeeEee
Before I go and cross the line"
 
I felt that

Anyways, I've been listening to TFJ a lot lately 'cuz depression's been killing me, and I have no words to express how much I appreciate the lyrical content on this album, it'so brilliant, unique and relatable. it's honestly one of the written albums I've listened
 
I'm gonna post my rank, even though it's very hard to make it:
 
1. The Outsider
2. Oh No!
3. Hermit The Frog
4. The Family Jewels
5. Numb
6. Are You Satisfied/ Girls
7. Shampain
8. I Am Not a Robot
9. Guilty
10. Mowgli's Road
11. Obsessions
12. Hollywood
13. Rootless
14. Seventeen

I mean, I want to agree, I just hate the thought of songs that are not part of some sort of project. It's like they have no home (wow, cringe) and I feel like, over time, these standalone singles tend to get lost in the artist's discography because people obviously focus on albums (especially with an artist like Banks). I wish she could at least make those songs bonus tracks or hidden tracks or something like that.
Better deserved better.

i wish he'd shut up

Same for me, but the position of L+F could change once I hear the full album
 
Let's be honest TFJ will always be her best body of work

Does anyone have a link to the longer snippet of Superstar demo that leaked the other day? the soundcloud link isn't working

Same for me, but the position of L+F could change once I hear the full album

For me personally, it's completely in order:
 
1. The Family Jewels
2. Electra Heart
3. FROOT
4. Love (+Fear?)

"Better lyrics that M4"
 
"I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
Hit me with your sweet love, steal me with a kiss
I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch"
 
"They call me homewrecker, homewrecker
(I'm only happy when I'm on the run)
They call me homewrecker, homewrecker
(I broke a million hearts just for fun)
They call me homewrecker, homewrecker
(I'm only happy when I'm on the run)
They call me homewrecker, homewrecker
(I broke a million hearts just for fun)"
 
"When you’re around me, I’m radioactive
My blood is burning, radioactive
I'm turning radioactive
My blood is radioactive
My heart is nuclear
Love is all that I feel
I'm turning radioactive
My blood is radioactiveWhen you’re around me, I’m radioactive
My blood is burning, radioactive
I'm turning radioactive
My blood is radioactive
My heart is nuclear
Love is all that I feel
I'm turning radioactive
My blood is radioactive"
 
"I'm living dead, dead, dead, dead
Only alive, live, live, live
When I pretend, tend, tend, tend
That I have died, died, died, died, died, died"
 
And y'all have the dare to call M4's lyrics generic, repetitive and mediocre

no marina album deserves hate - INCLUDING L+F - they all live in their own world and shouldn't be pitted against each other.

The family jewels is her best piece of work

wtf is up with this froot slander

Wow - Miss Y final sounds incredible! It's always been one of my favourite tracks.
 
(also, please don't encourage leaking FEAR it's disheartening to see)

i’m pretty sure it’s from the same sessions, but it’s just a version that never leaked tbh. i don’t think she’s gone back to it since.

Marina finishing Miss Y just to scrap it AGAIN.... what was the reason?

can y'all stop. just stop. 11 days.

Anyways
