 #31 'Valley of the Dolls' Average: 6.75 Finishing in last place is this laidback album track from 'Electra Heart', with its lush production it tells a story about Marina's yo-yo struggle for success in life. Sung at a slow tempo until the middle 8 where Marina embarks on her typical vocal fireworks it's easy to understand why it hasn't proved all to popular on Buzzjack. Its lyrics may also be a tad confusing and difficult to relate with, but with such ambient top-notch production and easy on the ear vocals you'd think this would rank a bit higher.  The Loons: 10.0 Ashley 09.5 Escapar82 09.5 Kath The Haters: 02.0 Toby 04.0 152chris 04.0 Grebo 04.0 Silver Rocket 04.0 THEO. The Rankings 30. 31. 'Valley of the Dolls' |

6.75 isn't a bad average for the lowest. It feels like a re-tread of bits and pieces of her other songs.

I'm quite surprised that Valley is bottom! It's one of the highlights of Electra Heart for me, along with Teen Idle. I feel the production of a lot of Electra Heart lets down some decent songs but here it's perfect. Goes nicely with Lana's Dark Paradise.

 #30 'Girls' Average: 6.758 Surprise surprise, the lowest ranked track from 'The Family Jewels' is in the form of 'Girls'. One of the more upbeat and pop-orientated songs on the album, it's hatred mania lyrics and vocals are likely not to appeal to the casual listener who does not share the same levels of mania as Marina does, but it's a breath of fresh air in her discography nonetheless! The Loons: 09.0 Pavel 09.0 O Mie d'Applause 09.0 Escapar82 The Haters: 01.0 Toby 02.0 Dandy* The Rankings 30. 'Girls' 31. 'Valley of the Dolls' |

As many critics said at the time, it wouldn't sound out of place on Blur's The Great Escape. I like it a lot more now - I totally understand someone hating it, though.

 #29 'Sex Yeah' Average: 6.8 With its signature 'sexsexsexsexsex' intro, the upbeat 'Electra Heart' bonus track finishes near the bottom end of her discography, previously leaking several months before the release of 'Electra Heart', 'Sex Yeah'. It also underwent single rumours around the time of the 'How to Be a Heartbreaker' release. Critics have deemed it as Florence + the Machine meets Robyn. Despite the saucy title, the song is actually quite on-tone should be taken seriously, with Marina advising you to 'Question what a pop star tells you'. It seems that Marina's more fun and rebellious songs seem to prove less popular than the lovesick and depressing ones.

 #28 'Living Dead' Average: 6.933 'Electra Heart' continues to fill up the bottom end of the rate with the soundtrack to any emo's life ala 'Living Dead', with its thumping flourishing beat it is sung with broken-roar-emotion vocals, it ranks up as one of Marina's most depressing and hardcore songs, which for the happy clappy type listeners could easily be dismissed, so its low ranking is not all that much of surprise, but nonetheless when you're rock bottom a song like this is perfection. The Loons: 10.0 Kath 09.0 Pavel 09.0 Marina XCX 09.0 Grebo 09.0 Ramz The Haters: 01.0 Toby 04.0 152chris 04.0 Rabbit Heart The Rankings 28. 'Living Dead' 29. 'Sex Yeah' 30. 'Girls' 31.

I actually really like Living Dead! Valley Of The Dolls is painfully average though, easily the worst track on EH.

Surely there's no such thing as an average Marina song, but I'm fine with the results so far, even though I like all songs.

 #27 'Rootless' Average: 7.016 Moving into the 7 figures for the first time with 'The Family Jewels' album track 'Rootless' which is Buzzjack's 3rd least favourite from that album. The slow-paced emotional song was produced by Liam Howe and Pascal Gabriel and features some dramatic instrumental production of which includes the random saxophone appearance. The song's melody isn't as prominent or catchy as other Marina songs which could be reasoning as to why 'Rootless' is not as popular in comparison to the rest of Marina's discography. The Loons: 09.5 AnthonyT 09.0 Cremey 09.0 Toby 09.0 Mariah Scary 09.0 randomfurlong 09.0 Eyes 09.0 Pavel The Haters: 03.0 THEO. 03.0 Harve 05.0 Lukuzz 05.0 Silver Rocket The Rankings 27. 'Rootless' 28. 'Living Dead' 29. 'The Family Jewels' 30. 'Sex Yeah' 31. 'Girls' 32. 'Valley of the Dolls' |
