CRITIC REVIEWS
60
Electra Heart is a naturally glossy if not promising progression for the young songstress, and the majority of the album is still eminently fun.

There are some strong singles which are bound to bounce around throughout the summer, but what comes next will be interesting

Whilst there's no getting past some of the duller and more unbearable material on this record, it's a real shame that it's come hamstrung in this unnecessary concept, ready for people to laugh when Marina fails to pull it off.

Electra Heart is a reasonably fun listen, and even if it falls short of its stratospheric ambition, still has more to say than many of Marina's contemporaries.

The album as a whole is an expensive-sounding failure.

‘Electra heart’ is an ingloriously languid statement of Marina’s demise, the final stamp of disapproval on her flailing excuse of a musical career. There is actually a song called ‘Bubblegum Bitch’ on this album. ’nuff said.
Okay
This record feels more watered down and neutralized than her debut. I feel that she sacrificed a lot of her original style to turn into this synthetic-sounding pop. Was expecting a lot from this, but there's just too many tracks that are forgettable and dull pop tunes.
Color: Yellow
FAV TRACKS: Bubblegum Bitch, Homewrecker, Primadonna, Lies, Fear and Loathing
LEAST FAV: Living Dead

A masterpiece. One of the best albums I have ever heard. Everything is flawless (beat, lyrics, vocals, production). If you haven't played it yet what are you waiting for?!
Favorite songs: Primadonna; Homewrecker; Starring role; Teen idle; How to be a heartbreaker
