Butterfly reaaally worried be when it came out as the lead (sounds better in context with the album I think). I'm only 5 tracks in and she's eating.

And she's eating even (a lot) more in the second half of the album

Just listened…am I missing something?  This one really falls flat, imho.  My least favorite Marina record.   I’m bummed to say that.

I have found myself enjoying Cupid’s Girl and Cuntissimo - they’re catchy, but mostly empty (like, the whole “cunty” expression is really tired.  I love the word **** - and also - Marina, we’re almost 40.  Maybe I’m just expecting too much from my generation’s chronically online lingo being translated into real life- yes, saying this on a cult fan site, lol).

Metallic Stallion stood out - so did Digital Fantasy (gave a bit of Ace of Base and Alejandro in the backing track).  I <3 You was decent.  Adult Girl was seemingly the most vulnerable and her existential usual.

The rest of the album…well, the production is solid and her vocals are great as always…definitely overused the baby voice thing (like Final Boss and Butterfly),

Something didn’t captivate me about this record…still a huge fan!

I’m in DC for World Pride and want to wait until I’m back home to listen but it’s interesting to see how polarizing this album is, y’all either love it or hate it :ladyhaha:

Honestly looking at your ranking I think you're just missing being a fan of the OG Marina sound on Family Jewels/Electra Heart. This is way more in line with those than anything else tbf

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.

First half of the album os growing on me, last half is AMAZING. Marina works best when there's a touch of melancholy in her music. I'm obsessed with Everybody Knows I'm Sad.

Je Ne Sais Quoi, Hello Kitty and I <3 YOU are everything.

 

Edit: I <3 You should've been the lead single.

So I wasn't really clicking with the singles and wasn't hyped for this era at all. The sucker that I am for a good album flow, especially with good openers and closers. The first track immediately captured my attention. I really like this album, well done Marina. It shows way more versatility than the singles were hinting at. Yaay!

So far title track, ROLLERCOASTER, EVERYBODY KNOWS I’M SAD, and ADULT GIRL are my favorites (besides the singles, of course). Marina is MADRE!!!!

I didn’t even finish and I already LOVE IT. definitely my favorite since her last 2. the best sequel to Froot.

will probably edit this reply with my favorites soon. Je Ne Se Quois is probably my fave after Cuntissimo which is already top 5 pop songs I heard this year.
