May 20, 201213 yr I've been loving this album over the past few weeks:Β Β 11 Bubblegum Bitch 10 Primadonna 08 Lies 09 Homewrecker 05 Starring Role 07 The State Of Dreaming 09 Power & Control 06 Living Dead 08 Teen Idle 05 Valley Of The Dolls 10 Hypocrates 10 Fear and Loathing 08 Radioactive 06 Sex Yeah 05 Lonely Hearts Club 08 Buy The StarsΒ Lovely album, been addicted to it recently. I've got the Family Jewels as well and while I think that had higher highs, this is better overall!
May 20, 201213 yr Buy The Stars clearly should've been included in the main version of the album. Ugh.
May 20, 201213 yr my rate would be:Β Β 09 Bubblegum Bitch 11 Primadonna 10 Lies 10 Homewrecker 09 Starring Role 10 The State Of Dreaming 09 Power & Control 07 Living Dead 10 Teen Idle 09 Valley Of The Dolls 10 Hypocrates 08 Fear and Loathing 10 Radioactive 06 Sex Yeah 10 Lonely Hearts Club 08 Buy The StarsΒ many tracks have grown on me since the previous rate, particularly 'teen idle'! beautiful song. :wub: Edited May 20, 201213 yr by Prima Doug
May 21, 201213 yr Ooh. A rate I can jump on the bandwagon for...Β (Oh and I use an "11" just to differentiate and point out what my very favourite is)Β For now it'll look something like this...Β 08.5 Bubblegum Bitch 10.0 Primadonna 09.0 Lies 09.0 Homewrecker 08.0 Starring Role 10.0 The State Of Dreaming 07.5 Power & Control 07.0 Living Dead 07.0 Teen Idle 08.5 Valley Of The Dolls 09.0 Hypocrates 10.0 Fear and Loathing 08.0 Radioactive 07.0 Sex Yeah 11.0 Lonely Hearts Club 08.0 Buy The Stars
May 22, 201213 yr It's growing on me as a whole. Although it gets weaker near the end. Radioactive sounds much better now - I think I'm now hearing it in comparison to the rest of the tracks from this era instead of her whole career. Β There's nothing as awful as Girls or Hermit the Frog on it. Lots of 7/10 tracks and nothing I'm going to get the thrills from it that I got out of Numb, Oh No, Obsessions, Guilty, Mowgli's Road, Rootless. Β Like Nelly Furtado's career, maybe this is the second album of many albums of different styles. Β I think the verse of Sexy Yeah is my favourite part of the whole thing.

May 23, 201213 yr http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4hjyc8JmQ1qcv2lbo1_500.jpgΒ my favourite artwork of the era so far, actually! still not the best single choice though.
May 25, 201213 yr At this stage I think this most certainly IS the best choice. Radio friendly, immediate chorus. If Marina wishes to remain relevant to the charts she must conform entirely (for the meantime)
May 25, 201213 yr I think it's a fantastic choice - I don't think it's exactly going to set the charts alight but her music rarely does. This song's very instant and twinkly and I pretty much fell in love with it on one listen.
May 31, 201213 yr Why do people dislike this as a single choice? It's not in-your-face electropop like the rest of the album, specifically "Primadonna" (which got annoying incredibly quickly for me) and it has a nice, relaxing chorus. My only negative would be that the first chorus comes in a bit too soon into the song, but the video's nice and I think it'll at the very least be a top forty hit (specifically #37, continuing on from the 12-26-38 / 11-25-? streak she has going on :lol:)
May 31, 201213 yr I really like the video. I can't make out any plot whatsoever but I love the colours and I think it's excellently shot. Assuming that's the radio edit, it's a bit clunky in places. The ending being so sudden especially annoyed me - I don't think a few seconds added onto the end would really be that problematic! I don't know how this will do as a single but then I don't believe there's a single smash on the album anyway.
June 1, 201213 yr while it's quite simple, I think the video works really well with the song. she looks very pretty too. :wub:
June 3, 201213 yr I think the video is incredibly dull and I'm not sure it works at all well with the song.Β I do like Power & Control but it's difficult to listen to it musically without imagining I'm playing an egyptian themed level of a 90s platform game.
June 6, 201213 yr Agreed with Dandy about the video being boring and uninspired.Β "Power & Control" is one of my favourites from the album though so I'm glad it was made a single.
