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.

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.
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.
EDIT: There you go, done.

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

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.

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

Have to skip Weeds & Better Than That everytime! Just so bland/bad and this is coming from a marina stan
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.
It's the Better than That disdain that's perplexing. The verses are so seductive.
I LOVE gold, I guess it takes time to grow on you.
Will give this a listen over the next week, thanks Joe
Can we stop using a '-1', it is not needed here.
I shall give the album another few spins over the weekend and then I shall contribute a rate to the thread too.
Just wanna say 'Gold' is great....the lyrics are brilliant . Also the intro is very Bowie-esque....very similar to Ashes to Ashes which is a good thing.

It's a brilliant album and definitely grows on you. Froot, I'm a Ruin and Blue should be #1s in a perfect chart. Solitaire is a real grower. Happy is a bit bland.
Immortal has really grown on my in the last few days.
On the negative side - Can't Pin Me Down has waned a bit

Happy, Froot and Immortal were all 10s before I read about the (stupid ) limit of 10s allowed.
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'.
All I know is that Ellie Goulding was not happy to hear Better Than That 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?
Marina and Ellie have a feud?! Since when? I miss 2010 when I was massively stanning for their first eras!
Are we allowed to edit scored still?
Great, thanks! Edited.

Kath no.
Lowest score for Savages so far! (two people gave it 7s but other than that they've been high!)
Kath clearly is high all the time as per ha member title
Nah, she just has terrible taste in literally everything.
If Gold comes last, I'll cut bitches.
A FIVE for 'Savages'??
A SIX for 'Better Than That'??
3 tracks fighting for 12th place and it keeps switching up...so...MORE RATES THANKS BYE
Oh my god

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

'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.
Yay at Weeds finally getting good scores

A bit harsher than I like to be but it is pointless to just give a bunch of 9s, so... '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.
Top 3 Prediction
1 I'm A Riun
2 Froot
3 Blue
Perhaps 1 and 2 could be switched.
I'm thinking Gold will be bottom of the pile.
It was very close between the bottom 4 last time I checked but I haven't done a calculation since the past few rates.

No song of Marina is a 2/10. Literally not a single one. Not even Primadonna is that bad.
Surprised 'Solitaire' is looking likely to be in the bottom two or so..by far my favourite!
Solitaire will grow over time. It took a while to grow on me but now I love it.
The production on Soiltaire won me over in the end.
