pink sushi 4,351 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I’m kind of disappointed in this album. I was really looking forward to it and I LOVED all the songs she released up to Venus Fly Trap and expected the album to be filled with upbeat jams. But then to find out that nearly half the album are ballads….. I like some ballads but they definitely are not my favorite thing and the ones on this album do not impress me.

codymonster 8,326 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 “I’ve been a mother to everyone else, every mother ****er except my self, and I don’t even have any kids.” This part just wrecks me. I don’t know what her feelings on being a mother are, but this is giving me the vibes that she is painfully aware that she is 35, single, with no kids, and has spent the last years of her life mothering people that aren’t even in her life anymore. It would be tough knowing all that effort could have gone into herself, or finding a new partner, or raising a child; basically anything that could have been an investment to herself today. God, this album is a journey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTPOPe 10,016 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Just listened to the "Songwriting Demos" that she made herself at home and again and again I'm amazed by just how much Marina is the actual brain and creative force behind the songs and has (mostly) been since day 1. She may not be considered the best songwriter in the world, but it's 100% her and I love that she is doing her thing.

I generally enjoyed the promo singles. The album as a whole doesn't make me c*m but its okay. Definitely better than L+F in terms of her actually emoting and not polishing it out in crystal clean bandit production. Something about her sound post-EH, balladry especially, just isn't as visceral. Its more like shes fallen into her own cliche of hypnotically cooing her thoughts on love and society like a siren. Which is not a bad thing but tends to become a bit dull after the 4th song in a row (speaking on the ballad heavy second half of the record). Maybe I just find her work less vocally dimensional even if its improved from a technical standpoint? Idk. Rambling. I definitely dont dislike the album, I enjoy aspects, but im not living for it either. Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
