Jun 6, 2017Electra Heart is Diamindis' best album to date, however that does not mean that it is amazing. Bubblegum is a strong opener to the album however the standard of the songs fluctuate throughout the album.

Sep 13, 2015I think this is the worst album of Marina, although I love her. Looks like she was trying to be a mainstream pop artist and she failed :| Songs like 'Bubblegum **** and 'How to be a Heartbreaker' are terrible. Anyways, the album has a good concept and story. I'm 100% sure that american criticians gave it a negative review just because she 'insulted' the american culture.

Jul 28, 2012Honestly This Is The 2nd Best Album Of 2012! (#1 Born To Die, Lana Del Rey) Very Amazing Vocals And Creative Lyrics!
Marina Gives You Somthing Really Special! -

Sep 23, 2018O curioso é que "Electra Heart" teve tudo para ser só mais um álbum de electropop genérico, mas graças às inteligentes, bem trabalhadas e coerentes composições de Marina, este álbum consegue passar diversas mensagens e variadas emoções. Destaques para "Homewrecker", "Starring Ride", "Power & Control", "Living Dead" e "Radioactive".
-
Dec 16, 2014Very nice indie album, Marina's voice is so wonderful, I need more this.
Highlights: How To Be A Heartbraker and Lies
Lows: Starring Role and Hypocrates -
Sep 1, 2020sinceramente creo que lo pudo hacer mejor. el concepto es algo complicado de entender y la temática superficial que maneja no es la más adecuada. mis canciones favoritas son power & control y teen idle

Mar 24, 2013A Perfect Album! A Pop Soapopera!
-
Jan 23, 2021Electra Heart feels like an overambitious project no one in Marina's team cared about at all, except for her, which ends up with the album trading a fully-realised version of a very interesting commentary about female standards and their effect on mental health for immature teenage tumblr appeal.
-
May 10, 2014Marina did a very good job telling the story of a woman who posed as a homewrecker, a suburban girl, and a teen idol. But I hate State of Dreaming. It hurts my ears.
-
Jun 25, 2014Electra Heart is full of hooks and some high lyrical points. However, some songs feel like they were thrown together compared to others. Some moments are great both musically with songs like "Primadonna", "Lies", "Homewrecker", "State of Dreaming" and "Sex Yeah!" But honestly, this album is a bit of a disappointment compared to The Family Jewels.

Nov 9, 2014Mbushur me melodramë lirik , instrumentale mbajë fle , dhe të thjeshtë nga tema memec , Electra Zemra nuk është asgjë më shumë se ditari studentësh shkollën e mesme . Nëpërmjet këtyre gabimet , disa këngë janë gjysmë të vërteta me përmbajtje .

Oct 15, 2015Electra Heart possuí um conceito enorme, letras boas sem contar os vocais maravilhosos da Marina (Principalmente em faixas como Radioactive,Valley Of The Dolls e Teen Idle) é um álbum bem interessante é muito bem concentrado.
Sem contar que é meu álbum fave -
Dec 17, 2013The funny thing here is that Electra Heart had everything to be just another generic electropop album, but Marina to add your intelligent and well-crafted compositions, shows that a singer can make smart electropops songs, unlike Ke$ha and derivatives.
-
Jul 20, 2017The somophore album of Marina Diamandis is just so terrible. Mostly the album talks about love, but the thing is that Marina fails on giving a love album based on a concept. Terrible lyrics that can be seen in Primadonna, but aso good ones on Fear and Loathing and Buy the Stars. I cannot appreciate this album because is just not my taste
-
Feb 27, 20169/10 - "Electra Heart manages to balance the ironic and the heartfelt, the quirky and the mainstream, the real and the fake with remarkable aplomb" - BBC Music
-
Jun 22, 2016I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE ALBUM HAS 57 AS SCORE, is a really good record, Marina's great voice plus the deep lyrics, make perfection together.
-
Apr 7, 2019This album truly shows and represents the 2012-2013 tumblr era. The music is in ways nostalgic and addresses many problems that are even present during current time. Along with the visuals this album will go down as a classic.
-
May 12, 2013Great album. Really nice. Primadonna, How To Be A Heartbreaker and Power and Control are the top 3 tracks from the album. I am glad this album did somewhat well.
-

-
Jul 5, 2015Though I am huge fan of the singles from the album, I think that "Electra Heart" falls short of what could have been... apparently "Primadonna" is indeed the diamond in the rough...
-
Apr 20, 2013I had never heard of Marina before i heard Primadonna on Now 82, but i am so glad i did, she is brilliant. The album is dark but very enjoyable, the songs were all great, especially power and control and lies.
-
May 6, 2013The critic had been so bad with Electra Heart. This nearly made me hate the all critic. Electra Heart isn't better than The Family Jewels, but is perfect like it.
-
May 29, 2013This album is amazing, very dark and strange but still as good as the family jewels. The album is flawless, all the songs are fantastic, my favorite songs are primadonna, bubblegum and power and control

Oct 9, 2015Unfortunately, Marina used to be an amazing artist. The Family Jewels was perfect but Electra Heart is something really weak. I expected more from her and I got only two good songs from this album.
-
Oct 28, 2016
-
Jun 13, 2021one of the most underrated albums I know. This happens because the album has a dark side, a non-strawberry pop, the songs it talks about were strange in its year of release and beautiful futuristic rhythms. Electra Heart is an excellent album, that Lolita Vintage aesthetic is so beautiful. (an album ahead of its time)

Jul 29, 2012This is one of the best albums for 2012. 'Electra Heart' has some great classic pop songs. I really like "Primadonna", "Power & Control", "Homewecker" & "Lies". I really like the acoustic version of "Lies". I hope this album become one of the best-selling albums of 2012. It sells good for a debut artist worldwide with second studio album.
-
Aug 28, 2014This is one of the best albums I've ever listened. There aren't even one song that I don't like, Marina's sarcasm is incredible and she knows well how to do great songs. Why the **** is it rated only 57? People don't understand art.
-
Oct 15, 2022A frete do seu tempo, é óbvio que os críticos na época (2012) não iriam entender tanto intelecto sonoro.
-
May 7, 2017it's okay, there's no any excuse about this album, it reflects her plastic-gummy career as well. it means that she is searching despairingly a proper/choppy hit, but failed into it.
-

Jan 28, 2016ARRUMA ESSA NOTA 57 AGORA ESSE ALBUM É UM HINÁRIO E QUEM NAO GOSTOU PODE PEGAR UMA TESOURA ENFERRUJADA E SE MATAR ESSE FOI FEITO POR DEUS AKA MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS
-
Mar 7, 2018É um ótimoo álbum massssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ainda prefiro meu FROO-O-O-O-T
-
Jul 11, 2012It's flawed and at times pretentious, but it's the sign of an artist who knows what she wants and has potential for great things. Make sure to download "Buy the Stars", "Lonely Hearts Club", and "Living Dead", three of the best cuts which didn't make the US edition.
-
Dec 30, 2013Marina has the idea of what is what she wants with her music. She has her own style; her own way to compose and a big voice, everything is reflect in this album. Certainly she needs to take a change in the rhythm of her songs to do not become a boring singer.

Jun 22, 2017Electra Heart is a great album of quality that few of us know, melodies that included on this disc make me want to cry cry laugh and dance till you drop , I love all the topics that include such unique songs and originals
-
Dec 6, 2018
-
Jun 9, 2021Way more mainstream than her other work but songs like Sex Yeah, Starring Role, and Teen Idle among many others prove that Marina is a unique songwritter. Arguably one of the most impactful albums of the decade.

Nov 9, 2015ELECTRA ESTÁ MORTA! Segundo álbum da Marina, uma puxada mais pro pop, decadência em Marina? Fez de tudo para hitar nesse álbum, mas só 2 músicas realmente fizeram sucesso. Nem Dr. Luke te ajudou. Mas o disco não é ruim. Cada música é um novo sentimento, cada música se encaixa em um momento da vida do ouvinte (ele querendo ou não).
-
Aug 29, 2019a good concept,good production,10/10 vocals delivery,good artwork,twisted story and moody vibe,great bangers " power&control & " homewrecker" ,sad ballads "fear and loathing "and catchy timeless tunes you'll never get tired of like " primadonna " and " how to be a heartbreaker".this is how you make a pop record, girls
-
Aug 29, 2020talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, **** on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it
-
Jul 6, 2021Awesome album. I think everything is good, i can't understand why some people are criticizing it so badly.
-
Aug 20, 2022Realmente 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.
-
Jan 30, 2015I have no idea what the critics were thinking on this one, it is Marina at her best, which is amazing. She has catchy hooks you can dance to, but the lyricism is genius. Very strong messages, about life and love. I could listen to only this album for a year and be happy.
-
Jul 14, 2017This album is so immensely underrated. While not the best pop album of all time, it is easily of the smartest pop album as each song evokes a certain stereotype of women that Marina finds fascinating. The lyrics, like her song's on her other albums, are sharp and catchy and the overall aesthetic of the album is beautifully ironic (in a good way of course). Wonderful album.
-
Jan 28, 2016nunca aceitarei esse album n ter sido aceito por essa bosta de critica do caralho vai tomar no cu quem deu amarelo quem deu verde parabens n fez mais que a obrigacao
-
Jun 9, 2017This album is a travel across the hurt and the bad love, all the songs tell you a story with different point of view after a broken heart, Diamandis had make a spectacular album.
-
Jun 20, 2020FABULOSA E TOTALMENTE POP, MARINA ASSUME O POSTO DE PRINCESA DO POP UK ❤️❤️♥️♥️
-
Jun 25, 2021I cannot believe this album has such a low metascore. I mean, I know it’s very controversial, but it’s literally visionary
-
Aug 1, 2023Marina 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
-
May 22, 2013About a year ago I first heard Primadonna, and now I've become a fully-fledged Diamond. This album is easily my favourite of the two, and arguably my favourite album. The lyrics painting all too relatable pictures, of obsession with fame, social anxiety and gender wars in romance alongside a reasonably well deserified tone and sound of the backing music make this album quite the treat.
-
Nov 14, 2013One of my favorite albums! Eventhough "love" is an album theme we use to see everywhere, she knows how to make it original! Well Done Marina! Se agapame!!
-
Apr 22, 2020encuentro este álbum realmente innecesario. marina pudo hacer cosas mucho, MUCHO mejores, pero parece que este solo lo hizo para rellenar su discografía. el concepto no es bueno. no se entiende bien y como ya lo dije, es innecesario, y las canciones pudieron mejorar :p
canciones favoritas: teen idle, power & control
canciones menos favoritas: hypocrates, lies, radioactive -
May 19, 2019Electra heart tiene una estética muy increíble es un álbum maravilloso con sus canciones pop y electro pop es muy difícil tratar de olvidar esta era
-
Aug 24, 2021Es un álbum espectacular en todo sentido, un álbum adelantado a su epoca, es fascinante, sin skips o canciónes de relleno, sus sonidos y ritmos muy frescos, un concepto muy bonito, sin duda es una biblia
-
Nov 2, 2013What seems to be based around a self absorbed nutcase, Electra Heart is probably one of the greatest concept albums of all time. Let downs can occur during certain tracks, though a lot of this is to blame on the lacking of material written by Marina Diamandis. The high morale present in the voice of Diamandis is always a good sign whilst listening to Electra Heart.

Oct 27, 2016I love this Album, is so perfect, her voice, her lyrics, her songs, This is one of my favorites albums all time, I love the aesthetic from Marina, and her tragic lyrics.
-
Jan 19, 2019Started with the song called "Bubblegum B*tch", containing teasing lyrics and melodies, this album praises the beauty, carelessness, energy and suicidal mood, problems, the drama of the youth at the same time - and I adore it! You wanna listen to Electra Heart again and again - living through these golden times of personality.
-
Aug 10, 2019Very catchy electronic album. I love it. Marina always release super album.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Feb 10, 2022Critics can suck it. Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not done before, unafraid to reference or not reference to put in a blender. Marina´s best work til´ date.

Nov 24, 2015Electra Heart is a really good album, the songs seems like its telling us a history. For sure, one of the best pop albums of 2012!! Songs like Teen Idle, Starring Role, Primadonna and Lies are a masterpiece. Congrats Marina!

Nov 13, 2017Este álbum es uno de mis favoritos y creo que merece un porcentaje mucho mas alto, la profundidad con la que Marina canta todas estan canciones es demasiado hermoso tanto que te hace sentir como si estuvieras en el mundo de Electra Heart. En este álbum se puede encontrar canciones para todo momento por eso este álbum lo considero uno de los mejores que he escuchado
-
May 18, 2019Este album es totalmente increible, marina creo su propio personaje con problemas y si mas aun con problemas de personalidad, el album no tiene nada de relleno y todas sus canciones siguen un concepto grandioso.

Jul 13, 2012This album is everything a perfect album should be!!! Best Pop Album of 2012 !!! The highlight songs of this album are Primadonna,Starring Role, Homewrecker,Living Dead and Teen Idle. Therr isn't a single filler song in the album. Beautiful imagery and concept, couldn't ask for any better.
-
Jul 16, 2012I just like it . Downloaded amiel sande, missy higgins and foo fighters on the same day but still choose this album. maybe Im missing lilly alllen for the quirky choice. Love the melody in lies though - always catch myself humming it. For the record downloaded it via Samsung.
good work - keep it up -

Jun 23, 2013What is so wrong with this album that the critics give it a 57? i just don't get it. Well then again most of the time i just don't agree with the critics and i think the fans should speak for themselves.
-
Oct 18, 2013Marina and the diamonds used the pop in his favor, got together with feeling and deep lyrics with a pop production and accurate.
Electra heart is an intelligent pop album, cohesive and a great singer behind it. -
Oct 28, 2013Pop music the way it should be. Shedding a new light on what we do or don't stand for. Meaningful lyrics with extremely catchy melody's. A must have for all types of people. It can make you cry at the same time as making you want to dance all night.
-
Apr 23, 2015É claro que EH merecia meu 10, só primadonna e lies acaba com a discografia inteira de Froot.
Os frutasfã insistem em falar mimimi só porque ele tem mais aceitação em público e charts, vai todo mundo pro inferno -
Jun 5, 2016In this album Marina embraces Electra Heart as an alter ego and it worked out pretty well. Electronic beats with clever and ironic lyrics make this album even better. She talks about relationships, fame, reputation, mental health, sexism and makes incredible metaphors.
Awards & Rankings
-
Jul 16, 2012Diamandis 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.
-
Jul 3, 2012Marina 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.
-
Q MagazineJun 21, 2012Electra Heart sounds high on concept, low on songs. [Jun 2012, p.108]
