[Shaw 583]

Just here to say I listened to Fear finally and You is an abomination

 

Edit: as a massive fan of Marina I am kind of taken back by how much I haven’t enjoyed this album. It’s so lacklustre in comparison to the personality I previously loved her for...

I didn't expect Emotional Machine to end up being one of my album highlights, but here we are ladies.

[Cry by the beach 882]

Am I the only one who thinks the album version of You is better than the demo snippet that sounds like a Troye Sivan song 

 

Also Emotional Machine is the best song on Fear, second best song on the whole album after To Be Human

nah, i like You too. it sounded like a kidz bop song before. Emotional Machine is a fucking career highlight.

[Ghost Town 307]

So just listened to Fear from start to end and erm.... Firstly I’m surprised people are enjoying Believe In Love so much, apart from the chorus i’m not a huge fan of it, but it’s definitely not the worst song there. I quite like Life Is Strange, maybe i’m just obsessed with strings idk but i enjoy it and don’t get all the slander for it. I feel so bad for You, the change in production was not needed and took away any impact it had and i miss the extra vocals in the chorus. Karma is actually a bop surprisingly. Emotional Machine is one of the better songs on L+F but i lowkey think the 4/4 kick drum in the verses ruins the atmosphere and tension leading to the pre and chorus, still one of the superior songs. Too Afraid is what i needed, I thought it was going to hit a little harder but still I will be listening to it a lot. Now, No More Suckers... WHY ARE PEOPLE HYPING IT SO MUCH? Honestly NMS was my least favourite song on Fear and one of the lowest on L+F as a whole, the instrumentation is to blame but i don’t particularly like the vocals much either. Finally, Soft To Be Strong is a good closer track, I wish it was more acoustic though and atmospheric.

Skips: No More Suckers

Once In A While: Believe In Love, You, Soft To Be Strong

On Repeat: Life Is Strange, Karma, Emotional Machine, Too Afraid

I feel like Hypocrates would’ve been such a cute song on this album

[ConstableReggie 509]

I need to listen to it more before I decide my favourites.

 

I love EM, but am I alone in thinking it sounds exactly the same as the live version? Even all the vocal runs are the same. I was expecting some difference, but it still sounds great.

 

You is still pretty good, but I think I prefer the production on the demo and I hope that version leaks

[TrashMagiq 58,958]

 I'm like OMG I think it's karma! custom cover by me x  i'm disappointed in, myself

[LonelyHeart 5,980]

 I'm like OMG I think it's karma! custom cover by me x  i'm sorry i probs just hit a rough spot

I wish the chorus of No More Suckers kept up the fun vibe / pace of the Pre-Chorus, which is the best part of the song IMO.

[Wynwood 19,967]

overall, LOVE < FEAR

this album is what you get when you mix TFJ, EH, and Froot but water it down......... a lot

 

an anology: TFJ is Coca Cola, EH is sprite, Froot is Dr. Pepper, and L+F is la croix 

 

also, every song sounds like a demo for another artist

[Sam Fucking Rockwell 137]

FEAR is so much better than LOVE to my ears! I'm loving all the tracks.

Soft to Be Strong just broke my heart, what a beautiful song. The line "Somebody hurt me long ago, and though to heal a heart is slow, it's just a consequence of pain" just had me ugly crying, it spoke to me on a personal level.
