I don't think any of the new stuff is a patch on the material on her debut album. :sadalexz:

I always found it difficult to connect with her voice. Maybe it just doesn't work for me

I'm kind of the other way - I love her voice but some of the songs leave me dissapointed..

You can tell she's one of those uber ambitious girls who knows that she will never make it proper big so she's reduced to pretending to be a snob and taking potshots at Dr Luke and Lady Gaga (see MIA for another one in this category).


The song posted above is great though.

Two more excellent songs, "Lies" and "State of Dreaming", from Electra Heart can be downloaded in LQ here: http://www.ohmyrock.net/2012/04/marina-the-diamonds-the-state-of-dreaming-lies/

This album is sounding sooooo good already!

I'm so freaking excited for this!

She's come on leaps and bounds from here debut. I mean, it had a certain quirky charm to it, but only half of the songs were any good. There was plenty of potential on display, but really it should have been scrapped... Although I think Numb is stunning up until about the last minute - but from the sounds of the clips for this on amazon, a couple of songs (Teen Idle and another) try to emulate it. Which is fine by me!

I'm glad that Radioactive is only on the Deluxe edition of this, and Marina isn't fully qualifying it as part of the project. Although it's a perfectly serviceable song (good, even) it really felt more like an electro track "featuring Marina", whereas everything else we've heard from this album so far is Marina truly owning the electro-pop sound she's gone for. It's exciting! The Dr Luke production makes the tracks sound like Britney Spears/Katy Perry songs, apart from the fact that the artist behind them has a brilliant voice and an amazing ear for melody. I think Dr Luke may have finally found his dream collaborator in the form of Marina. His production always sounds crisp, shiny and mouth-wateringly sweet, but the songwriters he works with usually provide generic, soulless crap.

Primadonna is good, but not amazing. I think it serves nicely as an introduction to the project, but it lacks a middle-eight. Lies and Starring Role (whether in "proper" or acoustic form) sound phenomenal.

Also, the styling is a stroke of genius.
