"All-out pop excess from Welsh singer's second album."
To hear Marina Diamandis talk about Electra Heart you might think she was pop's own Cindy Sherman, playing with different personae to examine the emptiness of the American Dream. The reality isn't quite as subtle. If 2010's The Family Jewels gained comparisons to Kate Bush, the tiring follow-up is more Katy Perry, the quirks of the early work crushed by the thumping pop production like an art-student crushed by a Looney Tunes tonne weight. A raised eyebrow and a smudge of vulnerability (Valley Of The Dolls) isn't enough: Bubblegum Bitch is possibly meant to be ironic, but it doesn't work when set alongside the thud of Primadonna and Homewrecker. At least she's trying to think big, but Electra Heart sounds high on concept, low on songs. (Victoria Segal)

So for those who have heard Teen Idle, because I haven't, can you tell me how it compares to Numb? Numb is my fave Marina song and people have drawn comparisons between it and the snippet. Is it better? Not as good? On the same level?
