    An amazing album with fantastic production and lyrics. A couple of songs kind of lagged behind the rest but overall it’s a well rounded album

    This record is a return to form for Marina as she casts away the previous era with reckless abandon and forges a new path forward, come hell or high water. There is something very daring about this record. It feels risky, but also completely authentic. Clearly, Marina does not care what you, I or anyone else thinks. Her vision comes through crystal clear here as she speaks on issues suchThis record is a return to form for Marina as she casts away the previous era with reckless abandon and forges a new path forward, come hell or high water. There is something very daring about this record. It feels risky, but also completely authentic. Clearly, Marina does not care what you, I or anyone else thinks. Her vision comes through crystal clear here as she speaks on issues such as climate change, feminism, America and spirituality. There is definitely a camp vibe to the first half of this album as the songs sound almost cartoony but still, there is an urgency and emotional gravity to her voice that shines through. Marina's greatest gift is her ability to emote, and we are gifted with some of her most personal songs on the back end of this album. The change in direction from talking about worldly issues to intensely personal ones is a tad confusing at first, but the transition is ultimately welcome as we are graced with two of her most beautiful ballads to date - "Flowers" and "Goodbye". It feels like she came at this record full force - throwing herself into it regardless of what the outcome might be. As a result, the songs sound full of life, conviction and energy. This may very well be one of her best, if not her best album to date.… Expand

    Ancient Dreams In a Modern Land is a stunning return-to-form after losing footing with Love + Fear. An album of only 10 songs, all the songs are strong and solid; there are no bad tracks. Marina has no doubt stunned us like she always does with her last album released under a major record label.

    Marina returns with a mostly high energy politically infused album that talks about feminism, racism, white privilege, environmentalism, the shame-blame-fear-take away rights game, identity, hard work, the emotions of people, and the different world’s that exist within our own in its first chapter. The heaviness of the subject matter does not weigh these tracks down as they are perfectlyMarina returns with a mostly high energy politically infused album that talks about feminism, racism, white privilege, environmentalism, the shame-blame-fear-take away rights game, identity, hard work, the emotions of people, and the different world’s that exist within our own in its first chapter. The heaviness of the subject matter does not weigh these tracks down as they are perfectly produced, written, and sung. After exploring the political sphere, Marina turns inward and more personal for the album’s second and final chapter inspired by her breakup. This part explores the war inside her mind, the double-edged sword that is love, holding on to the pain, moving on, admitting to caring more about others than herself, staying true to yourself, and saying goodbye to your past self.

    Probably her best, most coherent album yet. She took the best parts of all her previous work and multiplied it by ten. Her lyrics never fail to leave me in awe, wether that be from laughing, crying or being lost in contemplation.

    Marina’s fifth full-legnth record offers a sense of pretentiousness, it’s always a topic that she hovers around its surface, never diving deep and providing passion to its writing. Feels like an activist on acid that spitballs socio-political issues in a glittery production with a dash of pretentiousness.

    ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Marina you did an amazing job! Congratulations. My favorite one is ADIAML, ILYBILMM, New America and Goodbye ❤️ But all of them are impeccable

    Um dos melhores da carreira, entregou uma mescla de tudo de majestoso que ela já fez durante a carreira com uma cara mais madura e uma produção refinada ao mesmo tempo nostálgica com os trabalhos anteriores.

    You don't have to be like everybody else, you don't have to fit into norm, you are not here to conform!

    Um ótimo álbum com um misto de críticas fortes e amor próprio. Marina entregou estética impecável em conjunto com sua sonoridade única, fundando uma espécie de fairy tale pop que nos faz viajar pelo mundo deste álbum enquanto entendemos os significados importantes de suas letras. Me arrisco a dizer que é o melhor álbum dela.

    Marina continua a surpreender depois de anos como um dos nomes mais fortes do pop no quesito criativo. Letras políticas, conscientes, batidas energéticas e o vocal perfeito.

    Such a return to form and I love every ounce of this album. From the beginning to end, her songwriting is just so immaculate. Highly Emotional People and Flowers are my absolute favorites, and even the singles released first sound so fresh.

    The music is pleasantly accessible, rather than daring.

    At a brisk ten tracks, Ancient Dreams is a quick dose of what makes Marina great: heartfelt honesty from a fellow misfit consistently pushing the boundaries of pop.

    Everything is delicate, but nothing is muted. This aesthetic certainly isn’t for everybody, but after her ambivalent pop experiments, Marina no longer needs her albums to be. It’s a beacon out for the highly emotional people of the world, of whom she clearly is one; it’s for her.
