You know what is crazy - Marina looks like a different person in all her albums. Its crazy. I know that makeup and wardrobe can really change your appearance but when she was Electra she looked SO different. Its insane! 

I FREAKING ADORE THAT LINE. Also the one about "I send my best regards from hell" 

As much as I love most of Marinas stuff (except L+f. I HATE IT) I really miss Electra Heart. It really made a mark on me and I was so into the story. 
I guess I just really like concept albums from Born to Die, to Electra Heart, to Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia even. I like when a specific story is told through a line of similar visuals, kinda like a movie. I don't know why, I guess because I'm gay lol. It seems like artists do a concept album and its usually successful and then they never do it again. 
I wonder if it has something do with the label wanting to establish them as artists and set themselves apart and when they've "made it" they can just do whatever music they truly want too. 
 
I really got lost in this glitzy but moderny vintage housewife vibe that was Electra Heart. I relate to that because my mom was like that. I miss it.

I was just listening to Starring Role yeah that song SLAPS *cries*

No you're definitely right. Electra Heart easily had the most commercial push, but if you laid all the albums in front of me and told me to guess which one would perform the best, I would pick Electra Heart everytime. 

I honestly COULDN''T agree more! I didn't want to push the idea that depressed artists create better music, but for some reason, it seems like some of that is happening to a degree here. Which I sorta understand, having so much raw emotion. As an artist myself, I do my best creative work when I'm honestly not feeling so hot. Its strange but its very true, for me personally. I couldn't agree more about FROOT - but I also agree that we can start to see this "basic sorta song" thing pop up in FROOT, starting with Forget. I like Forget, don't get me wrong, but I remember when it came out I thought really, Marina? It just seems like anyone could've wrote it. How do you go from songs like Shampain and E.V.O.L to much more bland songs like Forget? Its so weird. It just doesn't have that tell tale Marina mark on it. And I think to survive as an artist in this world, you have to set yourself apart and make people remember you, and she used to do that amazingly. But I just can't get behind the more bland songs!

I have been a LONG stan of Marina and I must say, the newer tracks sound much more SJW and like a college student project. No hate there, obviously, but I miss the emotional and heavier stuff we saw frequently in TFJ, Electra Heart, and FROOT. While I obviously stand by the lyrics in Mans World, I can't sit here and act like its anything new that we haven't yet heard before. I know she was miserable writing most of her other records due to heavy commercial push and collaboration, but I can't lie when I say I think its some of her best work. I adore Marina, but I think sometimes she needs to be pushed a bit, otherwise we get more bland things like L+F which I played once and never could again. It just didn't "Stick" with me like Electra Heart or FROOT did and I REALLY tried. 
 
EDIT: Afterthought, I just am getting sick of heavy "the world sucks theres why" songs and that may be a personal thing. It just feels kinda cliche, and overdone. I agree with all of it and am very progressive, but I just kinda, idk. It just feels contrived sometimes or something.

I know she denied it but I mean, I wouldn't actually think she'd admit it. I like to think Marinas the kind of person who play it down but its a TOTAL slight against her
