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.

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.…Expand
Personally, I think this album is amazing, great storyline, great vocal (although she use a little too much auto-tune) and you must take manyPersonally, I think this album is amazing, great storyline, great vocal (although she use a little too much auto-tune) and you must take many time listening to it then you could really find it amazing and understand perfectly the whole album. What I hate about the album is the way Marina organize the track. I think best songs from the album are: Primadonna, Teen Idle, Valley of the Dolls, Sex Yeah, Homewrecker, How to be a heart-breaker, Power & Control…Expand
I really enjoyed this album. The production feels very modern yet classic. And Marina's operatic vocals are superb. The album is a retroI really enjoyed this album. The production feels very modern yet classic. And Marina's operatic vocals are superb. The album is a retro dance-pop opus. Electra Heart contains amazingly catchy. The hooks are very radio-friendly and instantly catch the ear. There are some very quirky beats in this album as well. Electra is not all electronic, though. There are clear trip hop influences especially in songs Teen Idle and Starring Role. There is a new wave, indie pop feel in the song Hypocrates. And the album's cathcy and lyrically smart album opener, Bubblegum **** feels very glam rock. The album may come off a sophomore effort to push Diamandis into the mainstream world, but the lyrics are actually very smart. It's not some dumb, sexual, brainless album. It is very..well, ballsy. Electra is very well executed. Some tracks come off as woozy, though. Especially in the tracks: Valley of the Dolls and Hypocrates. Also, Electra Heart is packed with cheerleader, school-yard chants and stompers. Most notably in the songs, Bubblegum **** Homewrecker, and How To Be A Heartbreaker. Overall, the album comes off as a smart, easily mainstream, and powerful album packed with some amazing lyrical punch.

Marina can expose any excuse but there isn't a good reason for made this album like she made it. Her voice and the really annoying electronicMarina can expose any excuse but there isn't a good reason for made this album like she made it. Her voice and the really annoying electronic pop music make a incredibly nasty combination, there are some good lyrics which are ruined with the rest of the song/album. Marina is one of my favorite singers but this is a dissapointment. Fortunately, with "Froot" she changed this horrendous style. Primadonna girl, yeah, all I ever wanted is ruin my image...…Expand
