BuzzJack Music Forum _ Indie, Rock and Alternative _ Marina And The Diamonds - FROOT - THE RATE

Posted by: Joe. 26th March 2015, 04:11 PM



It's time for the FROOT rate.

Rules:
- You are allowed one -1 and one 11, as usual, though of course, you do not have to use either of these if you don't wish to do so.
- Because it's an album of just 12 songs and I want to keep it interesting I'm limiting everyone to TWO 10s maximum.
- You can use .5s if you really want to, but please, no 10.5s or 9.5s.

xx Happy
xx Froot
xx I'm a Ruin
xx Blue
xx Forget
xx Gold
xx Can't Pin Me Down
xx Solitaire
xx Better Than That
xx Weeds
xx Savages
xx Immortal


Deadline: 5th of April, to give people only just getting the album some time for the froot to grow.

It's a shame we're only allowed two 10s, otherwise 'Froot' and 'Forget' would have gotten a 10 as well. sad.gif
I would have given 'Immortal' and 'Solitaire' better scores than 8 (as in 9) but I feel like these two songs are inferior to the likes of 'Froot' (although still completely brilliant) and thus it would have been weird/unfair to give them similar scores.

Oh wait, just realised we can use 8.5 hmmm. thinking.gif

EDIT:
There you go, done.

My previous rate had more than two 10's, so that prompted me to decrease just about every song to about .8 of its original score.

When you posted this there were no scores below 7. Is 7 an average score?

Posted by: mr_aly 26th March 2015, 11:14 PM

For me when I rate something a 5 is average, a 6 is above average and a 7 is at least good.

Posted by: AntoineTTe 26th March 2015, 11:18 PM

Yep. 5 is average.

Posted by: AntoineTTe 26th March 2015, 11:25 PM

11 - all time level greatness
10 - career highlight
9 - excellent
8 - very good
7 - good and not skipworthy unless the mood strikes me
6 - ok when I can't avoid listening to it but skipworthy
5 - average
4 - poor
3 - bad bad song
2 - OMG I am never listening to this again
1 - should never have been made
0 - embarrassed for humanity
-1 - Nickelback

7 is below the mean score being given to the songs across the album, so in that sense it's average. If your score puts it in the lower third of the album, that's "average". Relatively speaking. ~

Average: [9]
It's so difficult because I could give all these songs justification for any score above the lowest 7.5 depending on what aspect of the song I focused on. Like Immortal could've easily been my 11 in terms of lyrical themes and vocals but it could also be the 9 I gave it for overall enjoyment when listening and the sometimes too floaty production. And I'd be happy with given it either! Same goes with the rest of the songs, but with things like how much I listen to them being the deciding factor for the purpose of the rate.

A novel concept of average but if that is what you meant then that's fine.

Posted by: ♡ Heezus Froot ♡ 27th March 2015, 07:21 AM

Mean score and average score is the same thing, isn't it?

Posted by: Joe. 27th March 2015, 07:29 AM

Great response to this already! And there's still quite a few Froot listeners that I hope will rate over the next week(Rabbit, Umi, Pav, Iz etc). Should be an interesting set of results because people's favourites and least favourites all seem very different to one another.

Yes they are the same.

But there's a difference between the terms "THE average score" and "AN average score" which is why I misunderstood Jark.

I will vote in this, but I still want to sit with the album a bit more. The 'Gold' apathy is saddening, though, but I can sort of understand people not going for it - it's so laid back and casual, it almost seems lazy, except for the fact that the chorus is so repetitively earwormy.

'Gold', particularly the chorus, really reminds me stylistically of some other female singer (or perhaps a particular song?) and it's really annoying me! Anyone have an idea of what I'm talking about?!

I shall also get around to doing this when the album has settled a bit. happy.gif

I'm almost certain you're thinking of Kate Bush song, I can't remember the title at the moment but I had it figured out when I first heard the album.

Happy, Froot and Immortal were all 10s before I read about the (stupid mad.gif ) limit of 10s allowed.

Posted by: Joe. 29th March 2015, 10:53 AM

Sorry Pav! I just think it makes the results more interesting when we only have 12 tracks here.

'Better Than That' is the one that's grown on me the most. I'm having a weird relationship with it. I liked it, then felt meh, then hated it but now I just think it's fantastic. I might have to promote it to a 10 but that would mean changing 'Froot' to a 9 so I'm not sure.

I know she denied it but I can't get the idea that it's about Ellie Goulding out of my head. I feel like it's a sequel to Ed's 'Don't'.

Posted by: Nelly. S 29th March 2015, 10:58 AM

All I know is that Ellie Goulding was not happy to hear Better Than That kink.gif Didn't she block any fan that told her about it or commented 'Buy Froot on Itunes' on her instagram, before posting 'I Don't Care' in response and then finally unfollowing Marina on twitter?

It's unclear if they have on or not. I'm sure they were good friends in 2012 but evidence seems to suggests something happened and judging by the way Ellie had reacted on social media in response seems to be quite odd. But Marina's denied any feud so I don't think we'll ever know for sure.

3 day warning! 25 rates counted so far.

Umi, Randomfurlong, Noah, Jake, Ultra, Joseph. I'm looking at all of you.

Planning to listen tomorrow and will rate tomorrow or Saturday smile.gif

25 is a really good amount!
To get to 30 would be great, though, I admit.

I'm almost certain you're thinking of Kate Bush song, I can't remember the title at the moment but I had it figured out when I first heard the album.


(Thanks for that and sorry for the delay in replying!)

Interesting. Kate Bush wouldn't have sprung to mind as I don't know too much of her stuff but thinking about it, you could well be right. Still haven't figured it out anyway!

I'll definitely get a rate in before the deadline. Just a bit busy with assignments at the moment and need to give the album another listen first. biggrin.gif

'Happy' would have received a 10 if we'd been allowed three. The only one that's not gelling with me is 'Solitaire' but I don't dislike it. Maybe it'll click eventually. 'Savages', 'Froot' and 'I'm A Ruin' are incredible. wub.gif

A bit harsher than I like to be but it is pointless to just give a bunch of 9s, so... biggrin.gif 'Forget' isn't exactly a -1 but it feels most like a TFJ reject so I'm going with that.

Very strong album for me. No duds but I definitely feel the quality dips a little in the middle.

Posted by: AntoineTTe 4th April 2015, 11:45 PM

Top 3 Prediction
1 I'm A Riun
2 Froot
3 Blue

Perhaps 1 and 2 could be switched.

Posted by: AntoineTTe 4th April 2015, 11:49 PM

I'm thinking Gold will be bottom of the pile.

Posted by: Joe. 4th April 2015, 11:51 PM

It was very close between the bottom 4 last time I checked but I haven't done a calculation since the past few rates.

I won't be accepting any new rates after midnight so any last ones make sure you get in, I don't expect many more though because we already have 32.

Also, if you've changed your rate please let me know in case I miss it when.

With repeated listens, I've had somewhat a change of heart on a number of tracks, I don't see me ever coming around to 'Forget' and 'Savages' tho

Edited my scores (upwards) after listening to this a lot this week and deciding it's really rather good...

The power of the growing froot. Thanks for letting me know (and Kath). Edited. I have no idea what the order of this rate will be since the last 8 or so rates, as the order seems to change with every new rate due to quite polarising opinions of almost all of the tracks.

No song of Marina is a 2/10. Literally not a single one. Not even Primadonna is that bad.

Posted by: Cremey 5th April 2015, 09:45 PM

Surprised 'Solitaire' is looking likely to be in the bottom two or so..by far my favourite!

Posted by: AntoineTTe 5th April 2015, 09:56 PM

Solitaire will grow over time. It took a while to grow on me but now I love it.

Posted by: Joe. 5th April 2015, 09:57 PM

The production on Soiltaire won me over in the end.
