I completely agree. I find myself singing the chorus alot out of nowhere for some reason! Its catchy. Gold is MUCH better than Weeds. 
 
Also when I say I like this song over that, I still love them all. I'm a huge fan of Marina and always have been. I just have favorites and ones I like better. 

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 loooove Solitaire! Gives me Valley Of The Dolls vibes. 

Weeds is WORSE than Gold by far. Yall are crazy. 

girl you aint got no taste if you like L+F. Bye. 
I said what I said. I'd trade L+F, Mans World, and MOST of Froot for TFJ and Electra Heart. (And so would the record companies, based on commercial performance) 

 

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. 

AMEN! Like I love Forget and will listen to it, but still its not anything I haven't seen before. I'm just used to Marina having lyrics that are just, ugh, idk, amazing.

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!
