 "a nursery rhyme contagious chorus that won’t quit." is just how I would describe ILYBILMM

The more I listen to Goodbye the harder it hits omg :bradley:

Same. This album is devastating :fatcat:

We've all felt the "maybe this is the wrong move" part of a breakup. 

"I've been a mother to everyone else, to every motherfxxxxr except myself and I don't even have any kids" is the bit that hurts me

She really took every thing that worked on the whole of the Froot album and jammed it into one song like it was nothing 

Marina is a goddess

I’m listening to it because I freaking need and deserve this. but I just shared on twitter that my 90’s chip is literally not processing this album.

it’s so introspective and beautiful.

it’s too early to claim my favorite because I literally relate to every track so far.

but on Flowers when she said 

“I think it made me stronger but I would rather not betray myself just to keep your love at any cost”

B* I FELT THAT! wtf that hit too hard so, yeah, I basically cried. the lyrics are too much for me.

It’s all just so good. It is classic Marina. She took elements from her last works and elevated it into a modern land.

Faves upon my first few listens:

Venus Fly Trap

New America

Highly Emotional People

The singles 


HOWEVER…I think this will be one of those albums that my fave will rotate the more and more I listen.

highly emotional people is my favorite at first listen.

I need to be in a mindset before I can listen to it again because I was NOT ready for it. this sounds like her best album already.

edit: I don’t think I’m not gonna listen to it because it’s so good I’ll wait for it to drop officially. maybe just one time each track tho because so far I am very impressed.

Highly Emotional People is just one of the most beautiful, heart wrenching songs I’ve ever heard in my life, and one of the best songs she’s ever written IMO

’People say that men don’t cry

so much easier to just lie

’til somebody takes their life

emotions are a part of our design’

As a fan since 2010, this is SO satisfying

She definitely has a polarizing album review trajectory. 

Critics loved TFJ, hated EH, LOVED FROOT, hated L+F, and so far, seems like they're gonna love this one

 

Also, the fact that Electra Heart was better received critically nowadays, compared to release. A true ARPTOP experience.
