Party Favor 10,306 Posted September 22, 2020 85% of L&F is filler, wbk. i def think she attempted a more mainstream sound with this album and failed majorly since the only songs i wouldn't consider filler are the ones with darker tones (save for handmade heaven). orange trees is honestly one of the worst songs i have heard in a while. 6 Quote leak the barrie-james co-written songs + elvis (2013) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rabbit 5,224 Posted September 22, 2020 Emotional Machine is the only song from L+F that I still listen to, the rest is really forgettable :/ BUT the live shows to support that album were amazing! Can't wait to see her live again but with this new material 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Happiness is a butterfly 480 Posted September 23, 2020 does anybody got the Electra Heart and TFJ album samplers in lossless? i recall they leaked at some point in Marina Boards/DG but well... 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hundred Dollar Bill 21,803 Posted September 23, 2020 I feel like Orange Trees would be a lot better if the “OoO0oOooOorange” part was mixed differently? Maybe lower in the mix, or more harmonies for it, or just sung in a different register? It sounds like someone who can’t sing, but we know Marina can sing very well. it’s a cute song, the delivery is just off imo 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slang 1,532 Posted September 23, 2020 I generally agree that there is something offputting about L+F that begs to be analyzed. I mean 8 metacritic reviews down from 19 on FROOT seems pretty weird (or stupid as in "she changed her band name so let's consider her a new artist" BS). The songs (e.g., BIL, EOTE, HH) are not that bad, even when compared with FROOT, so overall, L+F is like a B to Froot's A (imo). However, the singing does seem different, though I still love her voice. To me L+F singing seems emotionally flattened around lyrics where you might have expected higher emotional response. As it was a surprise to me that she dealt with (or came out about) depression between FROOT and L+F, maybe this was her "mood-flattenning-drugs" concept album. One thing you can do, if you are tired of the album as presented (e.g. think most of it is filler) is to interleave tracks (i.e., make the "love" tracks, starting with HH, odd and the "fear" tracks even). For me, this spreads out the quality of the songs (I liked "fear" more), and the transitions seem to make more sense, and not in a manic/depressive roller-coaster way, but in some of the production choices (orange trees, you) and "philosophical" stances seeming to pair up (Baby, Karma; Enjoy Your Life, Emotional Machine). 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

L+F seems to be mostly sung in a high, airy head voice and it's lacking those deep, powerful vocals she gave us on her other albums. She plays with her voice a lot less these days. 0 Quote let me be who i'm meant to be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
