hi, i'm back.
so like.
****.
These reviews are absolutely RIDICULOUS. They are ignoring the whole point of the album. They are totally misunderstanding the concept, not paying attention to the lyrics, and not realizing the full potential. It's pathetic that these "reviewers" are even allowed to write, and that these sites are actually publishing this ********.

'Bubblegum Bitch' finds Marina-as-Electra snarking about how she's "Ms Sugar Pink Lick-a-lick-a Lips",

This is where the reviewer is not paying attention.
It's "liquor", not "licka"

Inventing an alter-ego to take all the blame ironically has taken all the sting out of Marina's barbs.
|
This is where the reviewer is misunderstanding the concept.
Marina is NOT Electra. Electra is not an "alter-ego", it is a character that explores & portrays archetypes (Suburban housewife, beauty queen/primadonna, homewrecker, idle teen) in a story (the album). ****.

Electra Heart, perhaps save for the odd “****," could have been made by any of the anonymous pop stars Marina claims to be so against, claims to be critiquing, claims to be so superior to. Maybe I've missed the joke, but it doesn't even feel like there's a joke to get.

The fact that the reviewer outright says here, "maybe i've missed the joke" - well, this is why you shouldn't have even reviewed the album. You don't get it, SIT DOWN.
Marina has not claimed to be "superior" to anyone. To misjudge and throw such harsh assumptions is borderline 'dangerous'.
he didnt even review the album and he only judged the whole album by the title of Bubblegum Bitch. I dont think he listened to the whole album. He should just quit his job as writer because he cant write a proper review/article.
it deserves higher score
