February 12, 201510 yr The album proves why I've been loving this bitch non-stop for years now. It's so simple yet so beautiful. Every single song has that special something which means she's back to The Family Jewels roots. Only this time the whole thing feels so much neater and calmer, more coherent and precise. The way she uses her voice to highlight some words and to express emotions is just IMPECCABLE. But that's what she's been doing all along so there's nothing surprising about that.
February 12, 201510 yr The one I'm totally not feeling at the moment is 'Gold' I'm not going to make any harsh judgments quite yet though.
February 12, 201510 yr I'm holding back for now. I don't want to be sick of the entire album by the time it's out. Although, I've surprisingly never been sick of any Marina song, just saying.

Exactly! I might've gotten a bit tired of a few songs but that happens to anyone. A magnificent video or a sudden craving for Marina might get those songs back to the right side anytime~
February 12, 201510 yr I've done a full 180 on 'Gold' now. I really love it now. 1) Savages - this is so Family Jewels. Obsessed 2) I'm a Ruin 3) Froot 4) Gold 5) Better Than That I'm deleting it now. I will listen to the Froot of the months but will wait until April for the rest. Edited February 12, 201510 yr by Joe.
February 12, 201510 yr I am really... not enjoying this as much as i'd like to :/ It's nice, but nowhere near the quality of the previous albums and all just a bit too samey for me.
February 12, 201510 yr Looks like the leak has kinda helped/ not affected the album, it's shot up to #170 on itunes.
February 16, 201510 yr I just keep on going back to 'Savages' and ignoring everything else. It really is classic Marina and becoming one of my favourites by her. Too good :wub:

February 20, 201510 yr Definitely her best froot cover so far! Bigger: http://www.josepvinaixa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Marina-and-the-Diamonds-Forget-2015.png
February 22, 201510 yr such a shame the album leaked so early but I recently listened to Froot and love all the tracks apart from Better Than That and Weeds. I don't know why as much as I try I just can't get into them however Solitaire, Blue, Can't Pin Me Down, Gold and Savages are all great tracks and are on repeat constantly. It's like a mature family jewels without any hermit the frog amazingness </3
February 24, 201510 yr Marina has announced her first UK show and it's just down the road from me. Excited.
February 27, 201510 yr So, I caved in about a week ago and here's my scores: 10 Happy (still perfect) 09 Froot (haven't heard this for a while, definitely hasn't aged well) 10 I'm a Ruin 09 Blue 07 Forget 08 Gold 09 Can't Pin Me Down 10 Solitaire (this is slaying me atm, SO good!) 07 Better Than That 07 Weeds 10 Savages (I love the love this gets by everyone) 11 Immortal (her best song since Teen Idle) I'm not feeling 3 of the tracks much, but it's a really solid album. I hope to love this as much as TFJ & EH in the future!
February 27, 201510 yr Girl. Better That That, Forget and Can't Pin Me Down are all 11/10 tbh. Classic Marina <3
March 1, 201510 yr Looks like Froot's release date has been brought almost a month forward! It's out on March 16th. https://twitter.com/MarinasDiamonds/status/...570124937338881 Does that mean we'll get one less Froot now? So confuzzled by this! Clearly done due to the leak though. Edited March 1, 201510 yr by Nelly. S
March 1, 201510 yr I suppose that's great! I think we'll still get Froot #6 (Gold, right?) at least on video. I hope she'll also release Solitaire and/or Savages at one point. It's not like she won't push any songs post-album, right?
