    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. How is this album only a 57? This is by far Marina's best work. Almost every song slaps in this album, as Marina takes on the role of "Electra Heart". Total bangers like Bubblegum *****, Primadonna, Homewrecker, and How to Be a Heartbreaker and meaningful songs like Teen Idle and Lies are what define the album as what it really is.

    Realmente marina creo un concepto que realmente podría dar más, las letras realmente se sienten personales y algunas como es clásico de Marina hablan de temas sociales que para 2012 eran difíciles de tocar, realmente los críticos fueron duros con ella, pero eso no quita que ella sido tal vez el álbum más exitoso de Marina hasta el momento.

    Marina hizo su mejor album con Electra Heart pero el mundo la queria ver como flop no como exito este si fue un album adelantado a su epoca si ahora en 2023 se hubiera publicado seria un exito total las nuevas generaciones buscan cantantes como ella, lana del rey y taylor swift

    Diamandis is trying to expose the artifice of big-box pop music by using its own voice, and despite the obvious trappings of the concept, she does a fairly respectable job.

    Marina Diamandis rivals Katy Perry for catchy hooks, commands with the swagger of Gwen Stefani, and even comes close to the ethereal vocal exhilaration of Florence Welch.

    Electra Heart sounds high on concept, low on songs. [Jun 2012, p.108]
