April 2, 201510 yr I wasn't a fan of Marina and the Diamonds at all, I didn't like her voice, I thought their songs all sounded the same and were pretty boring, one of my friends is a massive Marina fan and has been trying to get me to listen to 'Froot' for ages, she even sent me some of the singles before the album was released (froot of the month or something?) anyway I remember hearing some of them and thinking ah they are okay, I still wasn't really liking Marina's voice though.... anyway I listened to the whole album just there after hearing Blue the other day and surprisingly I really liked it, there are some songs on the album I really can't listen to again - more the slower ones like Happy and Solitaire but the majority of the album I liked enough to add to my Spotify collection, especially Blue, Forgotten, Weeds and Savage and once you listen to a few songs, Marina's voice does grow on you :wub: Listen to your friends, hun.

April 2, 201510 yr I see what you all mean that favourites keep changing - having a moment of appreciation for Happy! Loving the lyrics :wub:
April 2, 201510 yr I'm really, REALLY struggling to get into this album as much as I did the first two! :( It's really pissing me off too, because I adore her. Something's just not clicking with me this time around unlike it did for her first two era's! I think I like them as individual songs, but when trying to listen to it as an album, it's just not working with me for whatever reason! :(
April 2, 201510 yr My vinyl album was very slightly ripped at the bottom, so I got a new one sent for free (because I don't do less than perfect) Would anybody like me to send them the ever so slightly damaged version? It's hardly noticeable and the vinyl works fine, so someone may as well have it?

April 2, 201510 yr Oops at that 8-96 fall tho http://33.media.tumblr.com/c740ebe3cfe412c9611c4bad64049a1a/tumblr_n3awn57DPT1svi3flo1_400.gif
April 2, 201510 yr Just something for postage! I would like the vinyl too, but seeing as Sean asked first then it's his. Oh no, go on and have it. I'd feel bad! :P
April 2, 201510 yr http://33.media.tumblr.com/c740ebe3cfe412c9611c4bad64049a1a/tumblr_n3awn57DPT1svi3flo1_400.gif LOVE this!
April 2, 201510 yr I wonder if this is critically acclaimed enough for a Mercury nomination. It has an aggregate score of 78/100 on Metacritic, 2 points short of universal acclaim, which is quite a good indication that it's in with a chance FROOT playing in the background on Emmerdale, get that promo! :cheer: Slay queen
April 2, 201510 yr Metacritic hasn't added the new 4 star reviews for Q, Uncut and NME reviews yet either, so it should easily get to 'Universal acclaim' But I think mercury would still turn their noses up at Marina :( http://www.vmagazine.com/site/content/4050...ebuts-a-diamond - V Magazine published this review of Froot today.
April 2, 201510 yr No but a nomination isn't out of the question. I mean La Roux got one a few years ago :o
April 2, 201510 yr V Magazine writing that 'How to Be a Heartbreaker' helped "skyrocket Electra Heart to number one" http://i.imgur.com/ARz9Ih3.jpg Metacritic is quite picky when it comes to including reviews from what I know, they should include the NME and Q reviews at some stage though
