Jun 12, 2021Again Marina made music for those who like good lyrics and sound quality. An album far superior to what has been seen in the current music scene... 10/10!
-
Jun 11, 2021Original, poético, melódico, y muy real, casi cómo un "The Family Jewels" pero más maduro y trascendente con un toque nuevo y fresco, "Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land" es el regreso que nos demostró que Marina sigue siendo una artista completa; Música, Letra y Voz.

Jun 11, 2021Without a doubt Marina's best album to date, it met all the expectations we diamonds had, perfect melodies, very well adapted lyrics and a brilliant aesthetic.
-

-
Jun 11, 2021Cohesive album. Echoes of Froot and The Family Jewels. Good return to form. She should continue riding this high. If she keeps it up and does these same things with the next album, and focusing on the personal as opposed to political, she’ll knock it out of the park.
-
Jun 13, 2021Perfect album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Jun 11, 2021This is her best album so far. The lyrics, the music, everything is great. The lyrics make you think about our social and environment problems.
-
Jun 11, 2021this is her best album I have no word about, this is a masterpiece, a experience.
-
Jun 11, 2021Sentimento para o mundo e para si mesma. Marina mostrou todos os seu lados através de belas letras e sonoridade.
-
Jun 11, 2021
-
Jun 11, 2021this album combines all of the strengths of her previous records and is overall just a pleasant listening experience. from major bops talking about social and political issues to beautifully sad ballads this album is exciting track after track. written all by herself this is without a doubt marina's most ambitious record yet!!
-
Jun 11, 2021Record quite short but definitely makes up by quality. Starting loud and ending with touching ballads. Each song keeps us in suspense to the very end. I really enjoy this very political Marina, not disappointed.
-
Jun 11, 2021the one of many albums that make us cry, dance like a stripper and make u angry af. thank you for this Marina. we needed it!
-
Jun 12, 2021Marina regresa a la música después de dos años , regresa con Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land ,un álbum que se siente como una montaña rusa de emociones, el álbum empieza animado con una potente canción titulada como el álbum y termina con una desgarradora canción.
10/10 su mejor álbum hasta el día de hoy -
Jun 13, 2021Marina never disappoints. From before this album came out I knew it was going to be good, but even so, I was taken by surprise.
Marina took all the elements that characterize her and united them in this project that show how enormously talented she is.
From "The Family Jewels" to "Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land" Marina has shown that there is no one like her. Amazing. -
Jun 13, 2021A masterpiece, no skips, the songs are meaningful and they are so beautiful

Oct 24, 2021I’m sorry marina I loved you so much but I really can’t get into this new era sorry xox sending love
-
Jun 11, 2021I love the way Marina is giving us an album that contains real and hard feelings. And also we get songs to dance and feel free. That's her style:something real, something human, anything but ordinary. I admired her and her uniqueness.
-
Jul 24, 2021The truth is that is boring, Marina is great but this album ain’t it for me.
-
Jun 20, 2021well it's not that good, i have to admit. At least i didn't like it that much.... or is that just me? welllll.............
-
Aug 15, 2021It's not that good and I guess she needs to improve her music...............
-
Jul 25, 2021she somehow managed to make this album overrated but still a flop. kudos i guess
-
Jun 14, 2021Below average. It has elements from their first 3 albums, but it sounds messy, repetitive, forgettable. Hard to hear again, it's a pity.
-
Jul 25, 2021boring. bland. someone tell her to hire a few songwriters. sis is down bad.
-
Jun 14, 2021
-
Jun 11, 2021disappointing as hell. it sounds like a freak hybrid of the family jewels and froot (her two best albums) but in the end just sounds like a jumbled mess.
-
Jun 12, 2021I love the fact that she keeps getting better album by album. Such sincerity, nice vocals, and poetic lyricism. Waiting for her first 10/10 album for me. Don't think it's gonna take much more time.

Jun 11, 2021ADIAML isn’t just an album, it's a lifestyle, a reason to live, it's the air you breathe, an escape from this cruel world, its a masterpiece, a cultural reset, the best gift you'll ever receive, a freedom, it's a revolution, it's art.
-
Jun 15, 2021increible album las baladas son lo mejor y purge the poison es de las mejores canciones del año
-
Jul 26, 2021incredible amazing brilliant we love marina she is the best artist of all time
-
Aug 20, 2022this is WITHOUT A DOUBT the best album that Marina could have created and in all time, just being written and produced by herself makes it incredible and unique, I love it
-
Aug 21, 2022incredible album, Marina touching every edge of humanity's thoughts on the world and how we treat each other
-
Jun 11, 2021La voz de MARINA y sus letras siempre me dejan una sensación rara pero que me gusta. Goodbye es estupenda.
-
Jun 12, 2021It’s an amazing album. I prefer the ballads over the pop songs to be honest. Flowers and Highly Emotional People are quintessential Marina songs!
-
Jun 12, 2021
-
Jun 20, 2021Marina came back with a little bit of the best she put into each one of her first three albums, but still she made it sound brand new. Even though some lyrics sounded a little too cliche, even for Marina, it's one of her best albums, undoubtedly
-
Jun 20, 2021If you pick albums according to critics reviews and ratings, you always miss the real music and artists like Marina. She is so underrated.
-
Jun 14, 2021Whatever you give life, you will get back
Why be a wallflower when you can be a Venus fly trap? Damn -
Jun 12, 2021MARINAMAZING. Increíble album, every song is a different World, os one of the Best albums, she talks about the problematics of the World and every Hard feelings, its very personal.
-
Jun 14, 2021Marina vem das cinzas, álbum perfeito da primeira à última música. Sonoridade desse álbum lembra muito o primeiro álbum dela. Recomendo muito essa obra prima.
-
Jun 14, 2021O melhor dela desde o FROOT. Uma sonoridade que remete aos álbuns clássicos dela. Um dos melhores da carreira sem dúvidas
-
Jun 14, 2021Sonoridade e voz perfeita. Um comeback de tirar o fôlego, um retorno de se esperar de Marina.
-
Jun 12, 2021Marina is visionary, managed to make a conscious album something catchy, their lyrics are powerful.
-
Jul 10, 2021Marina’s fifth full-legnth record offers a sense of pretentiousness, it’s always a topic that she hovers around its surface, never diving deep and providing passion to its writing. Feels like an activist on acid that spitballs socio-political issues in a glittery production with a dash of pretentiousness.

-
Jun 17, 2021It's a perfect album very political which is something that we need right now at the time it feels very fresh and ancient at the same time production wise it's very wild and soft reflexive
-
Jun 11, 2021Marina soube se reinventar com base em suas velhas formulas. Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land é o espelho de uma mulher e de seus problemas no século XXI, com todos os seus medos e suas possíveis esperanças. Um trabalho existencialista e com uma pegada social.
-
Jun 11, 2021Just a simple masterpiece, a 10-track álbum with no skips, with highly emotional songs and incredible bops
-
Jun 11, 2021Theatrical and Epic. These words are the only thing you should expect from this work of art.
-
Jun 11, 2021Gracias Dios por dame vida para presenciar uno de los mejores trabajos hechos por Dios mismo, amen
-
Jun 11, 2021After “Love + Fear” her weakest album, “ADIAML” is a very pleasant album, well produced and with mature lyrics.
-
Jun 12, 2021Here Marina shows herself as the great artist that she is, Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land is the album of the year!
-
Jun 15, 2021Um dos melhores da carreira, entregou uma mescla de tudo de majestoso que ela já fez durante a carreira com uma cara mais madura e uma produção refinada ao mesmo tempo nostálgica com os trabalhos anteriores.
-

-
Jun 13, 2021Absolutely amazing. Another masterpiece. Nobody can do pop music like Marina. She always show so much self-consciousness, what is very uncommon for pop artists. She was very successful reuniting parts of her best past work on that album.
-
Jun 15, 2021Her best proyect since Froot, and it’s the proof that she still has a lot of good stuff to give us in the future.

Jun 13, 2021MARINA’s best work until now. First of all, she wrote it all by herself and the themes of the songs are incredible. She reflects about her own life, the world etc. It’s just amazing.
-
Jun 11, 2021Simplemente el mejor álbum de Marina, lleno de letras que critican a la sociedad y sobre el amor todo en un mismo álbum
Reina -
Jun 16, 2021Uno de los mejores trabajos de Marina, el cual fue hecho en pandemia y hecho por 2 personas
Gracias Marina por otra obra de arte -
Jun 14, 2021Marina consegue retornar em muitos momentos sua sonoridade dos álbuns anteriores, mas sempre trazendo conceitos novos que para além de agradar o ouvindo, fazem os ouvintes refletirem sobre questões tão importantes, um gosto amargo que precisa ser tragado e ainda bem que foi por essa voz angelical.
-
Jun 14, 2021Everything in this album is amazing! Marina came back to show us that she is brave and honest with her feelings and that's awesome. A very great job
-
Jul 11, 2021Álbum of the teas, of course! Marina knows how to describe her pure feeling, still make good music and pass her feeling through it! That's the most impressive about her! She found her place and she lives by her passion
-
Jun 15, 2021From start to finish it's really an excellent album, I can't stop listening to it and I think it might even be MARINA's best album

-

-
Jul 25, 2021So camp. So perfect. Not a single skip and 100% self written by Marina herself. The production is top tier and it is aging like a fine wine. My favorite songs are ADIAML, I Love You But I Love Me More and Flowers.
-
Jun 14, 2021Her best album for sure. I loved the way she came back with that art and the message it passes
-
Jun 12, 2021Es hermoso, las letras son increíbles y profundas. La producción también es genial.
-
Jun 11, 2021Simply one album I think people should, definitely, hear. "Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land" is one of her best albums (if not her best) alongside Froot. All four singles previously released are splendid and this album totally deserves a chance of being heard.
-
Jun 13, 2021Album Of The Year so far! Definitely Marina's Best Album, mature, powerful and confessional. Her songwriting skills gets better every time, so let's give credit when credit is due. Glad to live in a generation when this kind of music and artists like her exist.
-
Jun 11, 2021Marina retorna a música de forma surpreendente e poderosa, com músicas que lembram as eras anteriores, principalmente a era FROOT.

-
Jun 15, 2021Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, **** on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.
-
Jun 11, 2021Her bert after FROOT, I cry with Flowers, Pandora's Box, I love you but I love me more and Goodbye, masterpiece.

Jun 15, 2021HER BEST ALBUM TO DATE!!!!
She’s back and better than ever, this era is sampling her past eras and turning it into pop perfection! -
Jul 30, 2023An amazing album with fantastic production and lyrics. A couple of songs kind of lagged behind the rest but overall it’s a well rounded album
-
Jun 12, 2021Wonderful record, there two distinct parts to it, the more political and upbeat section and the more personal and ballad heavy part, both wonderful in their own unique way.
-
Jun 21, 2021An absolutely skipless album. Every song is flawless. The single choices were great as well.
-

Jun 11, 2021marina did it again, great musics with great lyrics, one of her best albuns
-
Jun 11, 2021New America relates our situation in this world. Great social discussions in the whole album. 10!
-
Jun 11, 2021Um álbum espetacular, a deusa grega, mais uma vez expõe seu lado absolutamente artístico e transcendente. Ancient Dreams, é um álbum emocionante, o caos da deusa Artemis com a esplendorosa beleza de Afrodite. Simplesmente, o melhor álbum do ano até hoje.
-
Jun 12, 2021Complete magic. ♥ I love the way Marina is giving us an album that contains real and hard feelings. And also we get songs to dance and feel free. That's her style:something real, something human, anything but ordinary. I admired her and her uniqueness.
-
Jun 15, 2021the best marina album, letters and sounds reach the heart deserves the perfect 100 rating
-
Jun 20, 2021I have nothing against Marina, but the album is boring and outdated. I don't understand the surrounding hype. He's not bad, and he's not good.
Awards & Rankings
-
Oct 7, 2021The music is pleasantly accessible, rather than daring.
-
Jun 18, 2021At a brisk ten tracks, Ancient Dreams is a quick dose of what makes Marina great: heartfelt honesty from a fellow misfit consistently pushing the boundaries of pop.
-
Jun 17, 2021Everything is delicate, but nothing is muted. This aesthetic certainly isn’t for everybody, but after her ambivalent pop experiments, Marina no longer needs her albums to be. It’s a beacon out for the highly emotional people of the world, of whom she clearly is one; it’s for her.
