I understand why people want her old sound back but I really want a new shift in her sound, something 360° really, like what Taylor did with Folklore or even Lana with Ultraviolence, something that's really different from their previous records 

i think you mean 180° but 😭 

 

it’s a nice concept for her but at this point i just… have such little faith in her artistically that i feel like she should just stick to what she knows  

 

taylor and lana i feel like could do anything they want just because their songwriting is so incredibly strong but… marina does not have that luxury i fear

I need an alt metal/metal pop album

 

I'd like to hear her trying out jazz and blues too, I adoooooore the saxophones in Rootless

Omg yes, imagine her doing metal pop. Give me a female rage concept, drag me to the mud. 

 

Yeah, jazz/blues would suit her voice so much. Surprises me she hasn't really done anything like it before.

Yes, I agree
I've been waiting for an alternative turn for years

Give me a mix of alternative/pop/art rock

also agree i think she’d body these genres but…

 

then i remember that when someone asked for a rock album…. she replied and said that her next album (adiaml) would be rock… which….. ummm… 😭

I don't even consider ADIAML even alternative. It's pop for me. It's like pop with electro and rock elements.

I remember her saying that and umm... yeah awkward... 
I got so excited when she described adiaml as rock, after I actually listened to it and got very disappointed but still liked it ig.

ADIAML is just pop with some rock elements  she has done that before like with Forget

It had great photoshoots, an exciting rollout for Froot, Happy, IAR, Immortal and Forget, fun music videos and a good tour. What's there not to like?

Imagine we had a Marina album with the same sound as the original plastic rainbow

help this just reminded me how my high school french teacher who i also had for study hall let me call my grandpa during class so i could buy the 7” boxset cause i needed his credit card info and was really desperate cause i already missed the signed ones (wishing her the best in life )

 

but like honestly?? in terms of her physical releases froot was really nice. aside from the 7” boxset, we got the white vinyl, standard black, and all those cassettes

along w ALL the clothes and accessories?? whew!!

I could see her giving me Courtney Love or Veruca Salt. Marina doing like a "Celebrity Skin" kinda vibe could possible be it.

Want to make this my signature

This era is so underrated. I think that version of Plastic Rainbow is one of my all-time favourites by Marina

The fact she got this produced by a guy on gumtree but didnt like it so made the ep by herself

I love the self-produced Garageband MvS stuff, but we needed a 2006 prog-rock EP too 

 

Thank you for linking that demo, I haven't heard it since 2022 and forgot how much I loved it
