On the contrary I prefer the uptempo tracks like State Of Dreaming, Living Dead and Bubblegum Bitch, as well as the excellent singles, of course.

"Electra Heart" is a brilliant album. In a year where my favorite musical act of all time decided to release an album that does not have a single great pop song, Marina really shows how its done. Apart from the two brilliant singles, "Bublegum Bitch" and "Teen Idle" (especially the latter) are pop masterpieces.
"Unprofessional? Us? Sir. Might I with due respect remind you that Mister Vandemar and myself burned down the City of Troy? We brought the Black Plague to Flanders. We have assassinated a dozen kings, five popes, half a hundred heroes and two accredited gods. Our last commission before this was the torturing to death of an entire monastery in sixteenth century Tuscany. We are utterly professional." - Mr Croup

2012 was not a good year in music, but there were a few good exceptions:

1. Sigur Ros: Valtari
2. Brian Eno: Lux
3. Pet Shop Boys: Elysium
4. Susanne Sundfor: The Silicone Veil
5. Yeasayer: Fragrant World
