January 5, 20169 yr Can't complain with that top 10! In an ideal world I'd swap out 'Blue' and 'Hollywood' for 'Lies' and 'Power & Control', but the former two are still deserving of their places and the latter two finished high enough. 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. Completely agree. I haven't heard 'Happy' in a while but I always interpreted it as having (what sounds like) a whole additional chorus that comes in towards the end. A beautifully captivating song structurally/lyrically/melodically and everything else. <3

(10) LOW: Henderella (3) I give up :') Glad Oh No, Blue and Radioactive are top 10 :wub: hoping Radioactive is destined for top 5. Happy is the weakest of the top 10 for me. I prefer Pharrell Williams song
January 5, 20169 yr How in the WORLD are all of these Electra Heart songs getting out and the pretty average "Happy" remains? OMG No!! Happy is not average in the least, it's stunning, one of the best from Froot :wub: The lyrics send me into floods of tears almost every time I listen to it :') Decent top ten though! :o
January 5, 20169 yr I love the songs #12-14, I love 'Lies' and 'Teen Idle'. I do really enjoy all the songs left, but I'm hoping 'Mowgli's Road', 'Froot' and 'Radioactive' are in the top 5. I find 'Happy' very special too, and obviously, 'I'm A Ruin' is an anthem. With the albums, I'm not surprised 'Electra Heart' finished last. The good tracks on the album are all very good, but the record is probably more hit and miss than the other two. I love 'Froot' because it's very cohesive and Marina put a lot of work towards the production of the album - But I love the themes in TFJ. Edited January 5, 20169 yr by Parallel Reality
January 5, 20169 yr Initially was surprised at the fact only one EH song has made the top 10, but in comparison to the other songs which have I think it seems perfect! I'm A Ruin to win this all please :heart:
January 5, 20169 yr I find them very difficult to compare but Froot is the most cohesive in actual sound but not in quality, the highs are VERY high but the lows are some of her worst songs.
January 5, 20169 yr 'Lies' has been my favourite Marina track for YEARS but I *think* 'I'm A Ruin' may have overtaken it now. Still gutted to the see the former out and not top 10 :(
January 5, 20169 yr Author I find them very difficult to compare but Froot is the most cohesive in actual sound but not in quality, the highs are VERY high but the lows are some of her worst songs. Personally I think the highs on Electra Heart are higher than Froot's, but FROOT doesn't have any songs as bad a some of what's on Electra Heart. I know this rate doesn't agree with me given what came last though... #JusticeForGold
January 6, 20169 yr I'm a ruin would now have an 11 from me, I've become obsessed with it in the past week or so :wub:

(10) randomfurlong (10) There's something about the first few seconds of 'Happy' that I find really jarring, something that makes me want to skip it. But I fully agree with the claims made previously in the thread that it's a song that get's better and better as it goes on. It's a really beautiful, subtle, understated song and Marina sings it with effortless emotion. The only thing I might say is that it's maybe not the best choice of opener to the album, I'd personally have switched it with Froot.

(10), randomfurlong (10) This is one of the songs Marina is most known for, and the second biggest hit from The Family Jewels. I know this was a big reason in why Marina first sparked interest with a lot of people and it's not really difficult to see why. I Am Not A Robot is so elegantly written, has a hummably commercial chorus whilst being entirely unique in itself. 'Don't pick up the phone when it ring ring rings'.

Happy definitely the perfect one to kick off the top 10! Predicting Blue to be #8.
January 6, 20169 yr 'I Am Not A Robot' properly grinds my gears (well, the chorus of it). The "you're loveable but just trouble" part is nice.

(11), 152chris (11), randomfurlong (10), Joe. (10), Sean (10), Mr_pmt, Cremey (10), Parallel Reality (10), For a lot of fans, I think the general initial reaction to Froot was WTF IS THIS. It was a really slow burner, and each one of its 27 choruses click with you at different points. But when every piece of this musical jigsaw finally fits together in your brain you come to realise that this is a genius piece of music, that only Marina could have made. My body is ready.
