Erm why Better Than That so low?? It especially needs to be above Can't Pin Me Down.

Add me to the list of people who completely forgot about this. :/

 

No real harm done so far anyway other than 'Are You Satisfied?' missing the top 20. Such a gem. </3

says the girl who I had to force to listen to FROOT, as you "hated" her voice :kink:

 

That is true :blush: I think I would have said that about anyone other than Hayley Williams pre 2014 tbh

 

THANK YOU FOR IMPROVING MY MUSIC TASTE

I can cope with songs eliminated just now, I just need Mowglis Road to get a good placing :wub:

Some massive Marina moments out now. Lotti loses TWO of her 11s before the top 15. Primadonna at 17 was a big shock to me, I had to recount it 100 times to make sure it wasn't an error. Shampaign and How To Be a Heartbreaker are two songs that are quite definitive for Marina. The former, Marina herself has said she hates, despite it being a highlight of TFJ for me. The latter, I find to be one of the most generic Marina songs of them all and am sad it's finished above Primadonna. In Savages, Marina goes political, in this fan favourite from FROOT, leaving just 4 songs from FROOT remaining.

Yass at Primadonna being out, nowhere near her best mostly down to the lazy production during the verses for me.

 

Savages, Shampain & Homewrecker :heart:

nooooo how on earth is Primadonna extremely low here? :???: I thought it would be at least a top 3 contender minimum :nocheer:

 

Heartbreaker deserved top 10 as well :angry:

Better Than That is fast becoming a contender for best song on Froot.

'Shampain', 'Primadonna' and 'How To Be A Heartbreaker' are my least favourite of her singles (in that order) so I'm glad to see them miss the top 15. Annoying that her biggest hit is such a poor representative of what makes her so great, but at least that was sort of recognised here. And 'Shampain' actually gives me a headache - it's so terrible and I'm not even sure why. :puke:

 

 

 

 

Lotti loses TWO of her 11s before the top 15.

 

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

 

 

Also gutted to see Savages out at this point, one of the standout moments from Froot for me!

 

For me, Primadonna and HTBAH have pretty accurate placings!

'Shampain', 'Homewrecker' from that section :wub: also 'Primadonna' ofc and shocked it's out so low!

 

I REALLY REALLY wish i'd rated in this. My 11s would have been 'I'm A Ruin' and 'Lies' so hope I haven't hindered them too much and they smash regardless :'(

Condarella :'(

A clear favourite from Marina here, having it opening loads of her most recent shows and keeping it as part of the Electra Heart section over Power & Control, Radioactive and Teen Idle (for some of the time). I didn't initially see the greatness of the song, but hearing it again on the Neon Nature tour, it really was such a moment.

Average:8.52

HIGH: Froot. (11), 152chris (11), randomfurlong (11), Liаm (11), dandy* (11), Cremey (10)

LOW: Sean (4)

 

The scores were pretty average for this, until the very end of the rate when it received a flurry of 11s. I have to admit, I've never quite gotten this one the way others do. I remember it being one of the first things we heard from the Electra Heart era and being bitterly disappointed at the time. It is still an intense, powerful and clearly very popular track, making it as high as #14 in the rate.

Another track from Electra Heart, but this time one that I really love. Teen Idle is a huge album highlight for me, and I've always generally preferred up-tempo Marina. The chorus is like a nursery-rhyme, but the melody/lyrical combination make for something rather sinister. I really think this should have been pushed as a single.

Average: 8.619

HIGH: Cremey (11), Cody (10), Liаm (10), Parallel Reality (10), Froot (10), 152chris (10), randomfurlong (10)

 

This always stood out as the firm fan favourite from Electra Heart, so I'm surprised, that it's finished lower than Power & Control. Marina uses this to close the Electra Heart section of the Neon Nature tour showing that there's still a lot of power in 'Lies'.

Average:8.8

HIGH: Harry Flynn (11), Cody (11), Joe (10), Cameron (10), Sean (10), Heezus Froot (10), Froot. (10)

 

I'm quite shocked that this manages to scale the heights of #11, just missing the top 10! I always felt as if there was a lot of negativity towards this song for being a silly single choice and "killing" the Electra Heart Campaign. I always disagreed, it was a standout song on the album and one that I would have made a single, personally. It didn't get a massive push, really. Peaking with 2 weeks on the Radio 1 B-list and they butchered the best part of the song the "I am weeeeeak" interlude for the radio edit. I still get chills when I hear the incredible intro to this.

 

 

That was indeed another bloodbath for Electra Heart, leaving Marina's sophomore album with just 1 track, and a track that wasn't even on the standard album.

Remaining we have:

Blue

Froot

Happy

I'm A Ruin

I don't think Power & Control should have been a single but that doesn't stop me loving the song. Sad to see most of those songs fall before the Top 10 really, especially Fear and Loathing.

 

Great Top 10 for the most part though, I perhaps wouldn't put Hollywood/Mowglis Road/Radioactive there.

Power and Control is deffo my fave from EH.

 

Hollywood is still pretty rubbish - I never understood its appeal. Oh No or I'm a Ruin to win, please.

How in the WORLD are all of these Electra Heart songs getting out and the pretty average "Happy" remains?

Happy is great. I love how she often adds more than one middle eight to a song, or an extra part to the chorus on Froot (the album). Happy starts off good and then gets better as it continues.

I'm going to withhold the top 10 unless there's more comments.

 

In the mean time:

 

ALBUMS:

3RD: ELECTRA HEART: 8.57

 

2ND: FROOT: 8.64

 

1ST: THE FAMILY JEWELS: 9.57

That seems fair.

 

I love those 5, they're 5 of the absolute best from Electra Heart. I also think 'Power And Control' was a mistake as a single though.
