Btw I discovered Marina thanks to that weak-ass horror film called Moth Diaries.ย 

Numb plays at the very end, I was obsessed with this song. It turns out I had discovered Marina before I started loving Lana's music

Very bold of a certain user to make abrasive assumptions and preach their opinion like its factual. At the end if the day, If you dont enjoy the music... dont listen?ย We already know how u feel lol. Its so easy to pretend something doesn't exist.ย The consistent need to try and sway people to your thinking is giving Q Anon... go outside for a walk!

'certain user' you mean 80% of the people in this threadย :oprah3:

the whole concept I just find a bit messy - itโ€™s just all over the place, compared to EH and FROOT where she had more of an idea of what age wanted. I guess thatโ€™s a lot of first albums, but TFJ just feels thrown together and itโ€™s not my fav. sonically it just feels a bit jumbled as well.



I mean donโ€™t get me wrong I get what youโ€™re saying and it is true that itโ€™s kind of all over the place but the songs are so iconic and have such a distinctive sound each one of themย 


Ita like every song has its own personality which is different from the others and tells a unique story but at the same time it all goes back to a central theme

Guess I'll just check this thread again until the album is already like 3 weeks of beingย released 'cause my head spins around of reading the same things page by page. Anyways, daily reminder for streaming MARINA's music. Any. :smokes3:

yeah of course. itโ€™s not a bad album at all, she doesnโ€™t really have a bad album. I think L+F was weakest in terms of concept, because it was just an album full of songs with the odd standout track - it was a little flat? but even then itโ€™s not a bad album at allย as it still has some of her best tracks (and her worst), which is howย I feel about TFJ as well.
ย 

EH and especially FROOT were stronger albums with FROOT being her best, as I think itโ€™s the one thatโ€™ll stand the rest of time the best - EH is already starting to sound pretty dated as it is.

I'll do it too! My faves are:ย 

- The Family Jewels: Seventeen, Numb, Hermit the frogย 

- Electra Heart: Bubblegum bitch, Starring Role, Radioactive, Fear & Loathingย 

- Froot: Blue, Better Than That, Savages, Solitaire, Can't Pin me Down, Froot, Happy... Too many I know but it's such a good record. Honorable mention for I'm not hungry anymore that may be my forever favorite from her.ย 

-Love + Fear: End of the world, Baby ( I know but i find it super relatable for personal reasons and I grew attached to It).

Also I wanna add that people comparing Electra Heart with her newest songs are making me very confused, because her last 2 albums and the new singles are all writtenย by herself. Comparing an album where she had many co-writers with albums where she had little to zero help doesn't make sense at all.



You realize that L+F was actually all co written?ย 


Also itโ€™s incredibly disingenuous to imply that L+F was bad because she didnโ€™t have help, because we KNOW that Marina on her own can make amazing songs, TFJ, FROOT, all her early demos... like those are amazing

I'll never get why people say that TJF is"thrown together" or "incohesive".

I think that it actually has a pretty consistent sonical soundscape and the lyricism/topics also tie together pretty well. Not everything has to be a concept album to be coherent.

ย 

Ok,let's play the game:

ย 

TJF: Mowgli's Road, Oh No!, Shampain ties with The Outsider

EH: Teen Idle, Lies, Living Dead

FROOT: I'm A Ruin, Froot, Better ThanThat

L+F: Karma, Superstar, Baby (the fact this atrocious collab is in my top three says a lot about that album)


Just do it. Just do it - don't wait!

I love seeing that Better Than That is getting some love! She is one of my favourite songs on FROOT as well as being one of my favourite ever Marina songs! And every song on FROOT is flawless for me :flutter:ย 

ย 

My holy trinity would be:

Mowgli's Road

Better Than That

Froot

(Honourable mentions: Blue, To Be Human, I Am Not A Robot)
