I feel somewhat out of place critiquing this album, considering my entire being is what Marina criticises throughout this album. I will do so, therefore, without addressing the lyrical content. All I will say on that matter is that her lyrics, much like in the past are so blatantly on the nose that it is sometimes almost laughable, but for the first time I feel like the bluntness is the point. Get. The. Message. Across. Loud. And. Clear. That sort of stuff. Musically this is her most interesting work in years, blend of old-school guitar-pop-rock and modern upbeat-yet-alarming trends. So the melodic work is mostly well-crafted, as well as its production. Cannot say every song was a banger, but at least a decent majority was for sure.
