I think that "FRAGILE" is a perfect title for it.

I think thematically it could work. She doesn't touch Siren's subject matter but goes around it, so I fill like there's a void (pun) without it there. Sonically it's less similar than VOID and EVIL are to each other. I think Death is much better than Sirens, but I still think it deserved a spot. Now with the others, I think they could fit, I just mean there's no clean insert spot for me. Like Faerie Soiree -> Sirens -> Light Shower flows really smoothly. But I can't find a spot to make the others flow without someone editing things. Speaking of that, if anyone wants to edit Needle & Thread to make it fit between something, please do

After listening to the entire album, there's no way to fit Dragon's Blood, Needle & Thread, or Corpse and it feel correct. Love them but they can't be inserted and still flow. But I 100% added Garden and Sirens. The outro from Faerie Soiree was literally made to go into sirens. Garden always deserved to go into Leeches. Half the songs on the album connect to garden, it really doesn't make sense that they didn't get added other than she couldn't fit them on the vinyl? But I love the album, other than AMULET, I think every second of the album is good.

PSA: Sirens fits perfect between faerie soirée and light showers. Garden fits perfect between spider web and leeches.

T-Minus 10 hours and 9 minutes until it’s available.

This is a much more accurate description of my feelings. I love love love the album. But this one single song feels unfinished and underwhelming. She should have handed it to Kinetics & One Love to fix it up for her before releasing it.

I like the other 12 tracks. But this is my spiderweb. Honestly after listening to it now a few times the verses are great, I just really hate the chorus. It’s lifeless, underwhelming, and stale.

Here’s hoping I wake up tomorrow morning with it leaked in HQ 😂

Oof I woke up and the girls are fighting. I only have the version on the db*** site, I don’t have anything to leak. If I had it early you girls would get it first. I was just talking about my thoughts on it.

Okay after a few listens: I hate Void, it’s the only song that’s a skip for me. It’s annoying and the production sucks. the Contortionist is my top track, it’s just so good, perfect combination of new style and old styles of her. I wasn’t a fan of Light Shower in LQ but it’s actually really nice and the guitar reminds me so much of Hawaii Space Guitar. I think it turned into this, it’s really good. I like it more than leeches and fingers crossed. Also wasn’t a fan of Womb in LQ but it’s really addictive and I changed my mind. I think it’s a nice album closer and it’s a nice change from Evil.

If you leak it I'll kiss you xD

Have we gotten any leaks of unreleased content since her last album released? I fell off but I miss the Ceremonials era so bad.

I Know it's taboo to talk about that producer, but did we ever get any leaks/outtakes of Slut Pop?

Did we ever get any leaks (Outtakes) for Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land?

I would love for her to work with Sub Urban for a project, she doesn’t work with a huge amount of Producers. I was looking at who produced different albums/songs and she doesn’t stray very much. Especially with what she releases vs what was recorded.

Less than a week away from the album, I’m surprised ithasn’t leaked yet considering her track record 😂

☠️ Yep wrong place. So after listening to MARINA’s last album a lot, I have to say ADIAML and Venus Fly Trap are my main replayed tracks. Especially the title track.

Oop, wrong thread 😂

Okay my thoughts, top three: Battle of the Larynx - The Contortionist - Nymphology 1. Death is good, we all knew that. 2. Void - I’m not the biggest fan, i honestly prefer the 2020 version. 3. Tunnel Vision is really good, I love the new production. 4. Faerie Soirée - I liked the demo better, all the beats feel really off in this version. 5. Light Shower - one of the lower peaks of the album. Leeches is better and too similar, I wish a different song made it here honestly. 6. Spider Web - It’s middle of the road for me. I love the verses, I just don’t love the breakdown. It’s the “soap” of the album for me. 7. I love all the added orchestra to leeches. Made a great song amazing. Love love love it. 8. Battle of the Larynx is my favorite “rock” song of the album. The pre chorus is my favorite and I think it has the best chorus of the three. 9. The contortionist ATE. It’s amazing. It’s reminiscent of Cry Baby and K-12 but still feels current too. I think it’s the most “Melanie” feeling song. 10. Moon Cycle- I wasn’t looked forward to this because I hate the demo but it’s bearable. Still my least favorite on the album, but I wouldn’t skip it. 11. Nymphology - The production is EVERYTHING and it’s my favorite on the album. It feels euphoric like “so happy I could die” did by lady Gaga. 12. Evil’s intro was a lot of fun and then it got super choatic in a good way and the song is good. It’s an album highlight. 13. Womb is serving basic pop girly and I like that. It also reminds me of something that would have been played in Shrek 😂😂. And the fact that its outro makes it go into the first song seamlessly is nice.

If you had to add one more song to Crybaby for a rerelease, what would you add and where would you put it? - Where Do Babies Come From - Rocking Horse - Art & Crafts - Jumprope - Ring Pop - I Scream - Zzzz

Yep, this is the winner, love it.

I’d much rather it be Back from the Dead and Death as the two tracks, but I’m not changing the name of her official released track. I was stuck between “Death has Come”, “Perishing”, and “Regret”. I also renamed Hawaii Space Guitar “Fragile.”

I redo all the albums with outtakes to make them 18-20 tracks, here’s my Portals one: Death Void Tunnel Vision Faerie Soirée Sirens Light Shower Needle and Thread Spider Web Garden Death Has Come Corpse Leeches Battle of the Larynx Dragons Blood The Contortionist Fingers Crossed Moon Cycle Nymphology Evil Womb

I’m really disappointed with Light Shower. It really could have went in hard at the end like “Happier than Ever” (the song) by Billie Eilish. But it felt really one more and a let down after the second verse.
