I need to listen to it. DESPERATELY :(
I'm even more in love with her after seeing her again. I told Marina's drummer to tell her I'm madly in love with her cause FRANKLY I AM.
Rootless is The Single of The Week and is free on iTunes. :)

I've listened to this quite a lot over the past few days and it's a really solid album, rate as follows:

 

08 Are You Satisfied?

07 Shampain

06 I Am Not A Robot

05 Girls

10 Mowgli's Road

10 Obsessions

08 Hollywood

09 The Outsider

09 Hermit The Frog

08 Oh No!

07 Rootless

07 Numb

07 Guilty

 

After a first listen, my favorite is "I Am Not A Robot".

 

I will listen again now, and will edit this post after each song to show what rating I give it.

 

09 Are You Satisfied?

07 Shampain

10 I Am Not A Robot

06 Girls

Don't make me do this :cry:

 

 

 

 

 

With about 0.0000000001% lead 'Mowgli's Road' can be considered as a stand-out track. :o

I see I havent rated this album yet...............

 

7.5/10: Are You Satisfied?

7.0/10: Shampain

A suprisingly strong album it was too. Just about manages to become my favorite album of the year (excluding Glee which arguably doesnt count). Hollywood remains my favorite track but Mowgli's Road still sounds as amazing as it did the first time I heard it (what feels like billions of yeras)

my rate;

 

9.5/10: Are You Satisfied?

8/10: Shampain

8/10: I Am Not A Robot

7.5/10: Girls

9.5/10: Mowgli's Road

9/10: Obsessions

10/10: Hollywood

7.5/10: The Outsider

9/10: Hermit The Frog

9.5/10: Oh No!

7/10: Rootless

8/10: Numb

8/10: Guilty

 

Hardly the best album I've ever heard, but for a debut it's pretty damn good, I echo what others have said about nothing being below good, but I'm more inclined to flick past The Outsider and Rootless and repeat Are You Satisfied, Hollywood and Oh No!

I am a sheep.

 

07 Are You Satisfied?

09 Shampain - I love how simple it is.

04 I Am Not A Robot

03 Girls

09 Mowgli's Road

10 Obsessions

09 Hollywood

09 The Outsider

07 Hermit The Frog

07 Oh No!

08 Rootless

07 Numb

09 Guilty

 

I think it's good. Better than I though from first listen anyway. There's a few filler tracks ('Girls' is really poor...) but there's enough quality there to make it a good album.

My album rating system: 9/10 (78%-85%)

The album version of Hollywood is a bit $h!t it has to be said, was there any need for that JFK line?

I love that part. According to Marina, Hollywood is a song she wrote 2 years ago and I think that part shows her inexperience at song writing but it makes it much more endearing to me.
