Sorry for the double post but omg...I totally didn't realize it was only gonna be released in the UK in April ugh! It's still not due for release until July in the states
Either way, I've managed to get my hands on it (which I will buy when it comes out here ofc), and this album is spectacular! I remember when I first listened to the Family Jewels, I was pretty impressed with it, but for some reason the more I listened to it the more I realized that I only really liked a few songs. I've always respected Marina, but this album has sealed the deal for me. I honestly don't think it sounds overproduced, I think it sounds like a work of art. I think Family Jewels is light-years away from even touching Electra Heart.
My favorite songs are Lies, Starring Role, Power & Control, Living Dead, Homewrecker, Primadonna, Teen Idle, Fear and Loathing, Lonely Hearts Club (this song is ****in' amazing
), & Buy the Stars.
All I can really say is WOW...this album is so cohesive in my opinion. I love the lyrics, music, and compositions. It's a job well done.
