Hermit The Frog has some more “out-there” lyrics/musical choices but it’s always been one of my favorites from the album. It just sounds so interesting to me

My Thoughts: Track #5 and the lead single of the album probably is the epitome of the quirkiness of the album. Lyrically the song also embodies Marina's thoughts on her career at the time in which she was not clear if she should go the indie artist route or the mainstream pop girl route. This was the very first Marina song I heard after Oh No!, Primadonna, and How To Be A Heartbreaker and I immediately fell in love with it and it still stand as one of my favorites from her discography to this day. The themes of the song also directly correlate with the character of Mowgli and his main dilemma from "The Jungle Book" of struggling to choose between being civilized or wild.

My Thoughts: Track #12, at one this seemingly was meant to probably be a single but it was canned and its music video while recorded was never officially released, it did leak though. Anyways this is one of my favorite album tracks from the album and I still enjoy it a lot. This also was included first in the US release of the album and came later on in certain deluxe versions of the international release.

I was about to be sad when I saw this reveal but then I realized that it was my lowest rank left lol.
All of the remaining songs at this point are easily some of my favorites from the album and from Marina in general so I don't have a strong preference for how this goes

My Thoughts: Track #13 and the closing track of the main album in the US release and lyrically is about her feelings of depression and how it arises partially from her career and anxieties surrounding it. Its a fantastic closing track but for some in the international release of the album Guilty is the closer instead which baffles me. This song also for me feels like the perfect companion piece to Electra Heart's own closing track "Fear and Loathing".

My Thoughts: The opener of the album truly is one of the most important songs of the record and it clearly puts into frame her viewpoints over her desire for fame without sacrificing her self-expression. I have always loved the boldness of the song and that her feelings and attitudes are put on display immediately which is important for making the rest of the album flow and connect to these themes. Very happy this was the best performing album track and that it made the top 5.

My Thoughts: The 3rd single of the album and one of her most well known songs, the song is lyrically a declaration of her emotions and self-expression, a theme that that is shared across most of the record. I feel like if anyone else did this song it would come off as corny but Marina and more specifically this album builds up its quirky nature immediately so it fits right at home sentimentally here.

Hollywood is so iconic... Anyways, 1 vs 3, either of these would be great winners as both are such bangers

The winner is... #1 Oh No!
Points: 38 Average: 3 SD: 2.3014 (#1 Lowest SD)
Ranks: HamedM1 💔 1 wrip 1 samo🦕 1 reputainbow 1 SHOOTER 1 BB🌕 1 Sambalada 2 American Idiot 2 #brayden 3 ry4n 3 Gonza'90 3 Mirago 5 .indulgecountry 5 nathanalbright 9
My Thoughts: The 4th single off the record and the very first Marina song I ever heard thanks to it being Just Dance 4 lmao. 12 year old me was obsessed and here we are now. The song is considered by Marina to be a sequel to Mowgli's Road as she affirms her position on who she wants to be as an artist on this song. Still hands down one of my top Marina songs and I am happy it won the rd altogether.
Which means the runner up is...
#2 Shampain
Points: 57 Average: 4 SD: 3.8523
Ranks: American Idiot 1 #brayden 1 Sambalada 1 Mirago 2 BB🌕 2 SHOOTER 2 ry4n 2 samo🦕 3 wrip 3 reputainbow 3 HamedM1 💔 5 .indulgecountry 8
nathanalbright 11 Gonza'90 13
My Thoughts: The 5th and final single off the record, considered by Marina herself to be the lightest song on the record, lyrically being about being drunk and having insomnia. It is simply a fun electropop number on the record but damn does it do that job real well.
Thank you to everyone who participated and followed along with the results, I hope you all enjoyed and I hope to see you all return for the Electra Heart rd, which will go up later today!!!
