Marina (& the Diamonds) - Froot

[Jark]

the album. Is it her best? I say YES. It seems to have about an equal number of fans who consider it her best as the first two.

I love half of it but the weird release strategy makes it very unbalanced where most of the good songs were released six months ahead and then the album never felt like a whole.

Blue is a ten for sure.
I need to reappraise the rest

The run of tracks from Froot to Gold is utterly incredible and unparalleled. That and that alone is what made me into a Marina LOON seeing Froot (twice) and I'm A Ruin live on the L+F tour was a genuine full circle moment for me, these songs have defined the last five years of my life. Blue could be my favourite song of all time. Forget is wildly underrated, her vocal is to die for!

Only two real stinkers for me. I loved Froot from the very first time I heard it. I always root for Marina despite her being a bit irritating

I love all her albums, but I think it’s her lowest point. It’s all very samey and there’s only a couple of real standouts.

One of those albums where the tracks are stronger individually rather than as a body of work. Too samey but with some great stuff on it.
