Spill!!! I have hours away :traumatica:

It's very Blue coded imo. Production is quite nice and sounds good, title track is fun, overall a very Marina kinda album.. could have been released in 2015 as well tho, which isn't a bad thing, just that there's not much to differentiate it. 

That being said, for context: Love+Fear is my favorite of hers

One second Marina is my second fave, suddenly I forget she has an album coming tomorrow :enigma:

If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating.

I’ll be listening as it’s my obligation as an og Marina stan but I’m not optimistic :traumatica:

Omg I'm glad it's not just me lmao. I guess part of being an OG Marina stan is only listening to about 30% of her catalogue :sue: 'I've been living in a kaftan, do people still say YOLO?' is the only thing I've liked so far :bradley:

I'm really hoping that the singles are supposed to be 'tiktok bait' or whatever but then the rest of the album will be more interesting and varied. If every song is a bitch track about being fierce and slaying with an obligatory ballad thrown in then I'm outie :fatcat:

I'm also glad to read that others are not optimistic about this release.  Songs so far have been kind of cringey to me coming from an artist capable of FROOT and existentially impactful songs (End of the Earth, Savages, Immortal, ADIAML, etc.).

If this was something playful or parodic like Electra Heart, I could get onboard, but it seems like the songs are being taken seriously?

I also say this as a Love + Fear stan (which is the album that often gets trashed).  With L+F, she brought her beautiful lyrics with pop tracks.  (FROOT Is my #1, to be sure).

Tired of fanbases basically saying you have to like everything an artist does.  Still a huge Marina fan and will stay that way - can also dislike some work.

Happy listening, though!

I love the album. I tend to enjoy most of Marinas stuff but hold the Diamonds era higher than most. L+F and ADIAML were album I liked, but had some skips for me. POP has basically no skips for me but there are 3 songs I haven't fully gotten into because they're tagged so bad :toofunny: but from what I could hear on them I don't think they'll be skips.

The album has a playful Marina vibe I haven't felt from her in a while. It keeps momentum where I feel ADIAML lost it halfway through. Haven't read too much into the lyrics yet but nothing horrendous has stood out. You can tell she had fun making this.

I really didn't like Butterfly much upon release but enjoy it more within the album.

OMG that's exacty what I really hope this album is going to be! :flutter: Don't need the obligatory ballad though.

I love everything she's given us with this album so far! :sara: Although butterfly was a bit of a letdown ngl. Looking forward to hearing the full thing!

As an OG fan, I need to simmer with this a bit more but there’s some really fantastic tracks after a couple of listens! I <3 YOU, title track and Metallic Stallion seem initial standouts

show me to me please
