The Family Jewels by MARINA Review

Her first album. The production is kinda crazy. This I know.

Are You Satisfied?: I like this song. It’s catchy and I think the lyrics are fabulous.

Shampain: I really like her vocals in this song. I think it’s a little much sometimes, but overall it’s a good track.

I Am Not A Robot: I don’t get into this song like other people do. I don’t know. Maybe it’s too happy.

Girls: I get that she’s being ironic but it’s still horrible. I can’t really listen to it.

Mowgli's Road: This song is crazy. There’s no other way to put it. I think it’s so fun.

Obsessions: I think this song is very pretty. And the lyrics are really good. Lots of storytelling. Especially the whole part about the crackers.

Hollywood: Catchy and fun to sing along to. Solid track.

The Outsider: This song is good but it might have benefitted from a calmer producer. It’s crazy.

Guilty: I used to skip this song. I think most of it is not for me, but I really like the chorus.

Hermit the Frog: Forever makes me think of my grandparents house. This song is so good. Very eighth grade.

Oh No!: This song too! So good! Everything about it is fabulous.

Seventeen: Favorite lyric “You don’t know fuck about my family.” I think her vocals are so powerful here.

Numb: Such a pretty song. It makes me sad and happy at the same time.

Rootless: I don’t think this song is bad. I just don’t really feel anything towards it.

I think this album is pretty good. It’s a little wild and unhinged. It’s all good, though. It gets a 7.68/10. bye
