So I was browsing Metacritic today

And how's Primadonna doing in the United States?

yeah, it's pretty grim, isn't it? It's pretty clear no one is here for marina. Better for you to accept that and move on, dear.

Also she has the satisfaction of having a number 1 album to her name, while your faves Janelle and Katy B remain virtually unknown. Once she begins her promo for Primmadonna and HTBAHB on Kimmy Kimmel this Monday, Primmadonna will significantly rise up the charts.

Those european county chart numbers mean nothing. Despite doing well in those countries, Video Games was only able to chart at 91 in the US. And Lana has much more hype than Marina does. Yes, I recognize that Marina is much more radio friendly than Lana, but being popular in Europe has never guaranteed success in the United States.

Katy B is more relevant in the UK than Marina. She has a number 2 album and 3 top ten singles. Marina has what? A number one album that quickly dropped of the charts and some top 20/30/40 singles?

And I know Janelle isn't very relevant at all, but at least she got to perform at the grammys (standing ovation, too), at least she has massive critical acclaim, 2 things I don't see happening to Marina. She also managed to piggyback a worldwide number 1 hit which makes her somewhat of a household name.

Marina will remain irrelevant and unknown, you'd best come to terms with that.

Welcome Ties.

I like your avatar and your attitude and your taste. Just understand that the fact that you're part of the #NAVY, the presses souls in here will TRY you. Unfortunately they can't handle the fact that our fave is SLAYING, and they will have to DEAL.

And I'm happy you're at least trying, Second. It certainly takes some effort and a close ear. You're doing more than most of the people who dismiss her out of hand.

Debut, Post and Homogenic are masterpieces. Will stan for those until I die.

Homogenic's Unravel...this song...it's so good.

Trying to get into Björk's music, as you guys know. Had my 3rd playthrough of Homogenic yesterday. And this song hit me hard. It's divine.

Good thing I've listened to you guys. Can't imagine my life without her now

"Hunter" is flawless.

I think Post is still my favourite. That tribal sounding beat coming in on Isobel. DEAD. The whole album is an amazing flashback to the 90's for me!

I really love Post, and you'll find a lot of critics with good taste who think it's her best album. But as amazing and brilliant and wonderful as it is, it's more of a collection of fantastic singles than it is an "album". With Homogenic, she sat down with Mark Bell and Sjón and set out to create an album that was both conceptual and worked as a pop album fit for the mainstream—and she succeeded.

I would argue that she hit her creative peak around midway through the recording of Post (and it lasted until around midway through the recording of Medúlla), but to me Homogenic is the first of her albums where her crazy, brilliant, bizarre, intelligent approach to pop music was evident throughout. Literally all 10 songs are essential to the album. None of them could be rearranged or dropped, nothing could be added or taken away to make the album better. And that's why I think it's her best.

Gaga commenting on her album

Let's just say I feel that when I wrote Born This Way I demonstrated a sense of maturity. And I feel that on the next album, there is a lack of maturity [laughs]. A tremendous lack of maturity or sense of responsibility!

also her tweet

Im Pop's Wife. Credit Card stealing, too much drinking, borrowing his car without asking, driving him crazy till his last breath

Fun Gaga is coming back
