I only liked Cuntissimo and Metallic Stallion after my first listen, this is her worst album for me by far... and I am a MASSIVE fan of her other work. Digital Fantasy is a career low, sounds like a 143 demo sorry not sorry.

lol sorry but Digital Fantasy sounds like classic Marina when she’s just casually riding the instrumental. it’s really just an electro pop bop and is coherent to the album sound. it’s not supposed to be deep and it sounds nowhere as pretentious and maximalist as 143. no sense in this comparison imo. a career low? too much. there are way more generic songs on L+F, Electra Heart and Ancient Dreams.

I'm shocked at how asinine her lyricism has become but her voice and production are honestly some of her most joyous so far. Overall a very fun and easy listen.

We need fun in these times

I like the vibe it's a fun album. I have to listen again but favorite first listen are Cupid's Girl, I<3 You, Metallic Stallion, Adult Girl

Final Boss needs some tiktok edits asap

Can we talk about the fact that ROLLERCOASTER is literally fierce? I'm surprised it's a Marina song

I've been loving the two singles after Butterfly, I didnt even mind Butterfly much, it was just too cute for me. I don't know how to feel about this album. Cupid and Cuntissmo were so much fun. The voice in Butterfly makes sense since I think the whole album is supposed to be a video game and I think its the voice of the main character? I have to say, the lyrics are bad. Even for it just being a fun album, its extremely basic. Im actually shocked. I couldn't get into much but Digital Fantasy, Je Ne, even though its very similar to I <3 You. Everybody Knows Im Sad reminds me of Blue but like a demo version. Oh well.

oh art is so fine and well-crafted when it's both loved and misunderstood

I really wasn't sure what to make of the album on first listen. However, it definitely gets better with more listens and so many tracks are getting stuck in my head. Digital Fantasy is so cool and fun; her vocals in Metallic Stallion are gorgeous; Final Boss is really fun and playful. I can see this album growing on me even more.

It’s really good album after few listens. At first I was like „well it kinda feels uninspired really”. But after a while it sounds real fun and good. But I agree about the lyricism, there is something weird happening. Cause I love her stuff lyrically almost all of the time, but here it sounds a little childish at some points. Which doesn’t matter that much. I think Marina is that kind of an artist that always want to say something important and is a forte in that matter when she does (in my opinion), but when she wants to let loose it comes off a little bit awkward at times.

She’s having fun again and putting the preachiness aside. Solid album

The childish lyricism is on purpose!

I've always considered her as someone who has great songs but not necessarily great albums for my taste. This one is no exception for me, but some of these songs are GREAT. I can see myself listening to some of these way more than some of her previous work.

My top 3: 

1. I <3 YOU

2. PRINCESS OF POWER

3. ROLLERCOASTER

I was so ready to hate the song during that first verse  but it totally redeems itself with the various switch-ups throughout the song.

It low-key also reminds me of Garden Of Eden with the early 2000s vibe, even though they're a lot different in many ways
