Jun 14, 2021An absolute masterpiece and most arguably Marina's magnum opus. This album is a journey which leads you through the world through Marina's eyes before delving into deep introspection. A complete and utter joy and AOTY material.
-
Jun 14, 2021A masterpiece. Marina seems to finally reach her self confidence and maturity. A piece of art that will age like wine.

Jun 14, 2021Interesting one. This album is everything I missed from Marina while going into her previous work, but it doesn't mean that this new album is completely free from everything I didn't like in "Love + Fear" and that's ok. I couldn't ask for anything better from her and I'm very proud she could combine the usual lack of subtlety with the weird-ish vibrant style from her previous albums.

Jun 14, 2021É um dos melhores álbuns que já escutei na vida. Infelizmente não gostei de poucas partes da composição de Purge The Poison, por esse motivo não pude dá 10.
-
Jun 14, 2021Incredible from the beginning till end.
Feels amazing to travel through the songs, being locked ate home. -
Jun 15, 2021Marina has returned in a big way, with a very refreshing album full of fun songs and beautiful ballads, where her voice stands out the most. Songs like highly emotional people and venus fly trap stand out with creative and original production, as well as their lyrics. Definitely one of the best pop albums of this 2021
-
Jun 15, 2021She gave us camp, AMAZING visuals, good music, lyrics, era, concept, cohesive album, YOU NAME IT!!!! all of it is on this album. Undoubtedly her best album in her career so far I LOVE IT

Jun 15, 2021i literally love every song from this album, and i think this is the only album that shows every marina’s feelings. she as an artist has always been near my heart, when i have bad or good days and when i listen to her i feel like something warm came to my heart. she deserves all the best, thank you marina xx
-
Jun 15, 2021Such a return to form and I love every ounce of this album. From the beginning to end, her songwriting is just so immaculate. Highly Emotional People and Flowers are my absolute favorites, and even the singles released first sound so fresh.
-
Jun 15, 2021Um ótimo álbum com um misto de críticas fortes e amor próprio. Marina entregou estética impecável em conjunto com sua sonoridade única, fundando uma espécie de fairy tale pop que nos faz viajar pelo mundo deste álbum enquanto entendemos os significados importantes de suas letras. Me arrisco a dizer que é o melhor álbum dela.
-
Jun 15, 2021Marina continua a surpreender depois de anos como um dos nomes mais fortes do pop no quesito criativo. Letras políticas, conscientes, batidas energéticas e o vocal perfeito.
-
Jun 15, 2021You don't have to be like everybody else, you don't have to fit into norm, you are not here to conform!
-

Jun 15, 2021This album must be one of the most unique sounding pieces of art I've ever heard!
-
Jun 15, 2021Es mi primer era con ella, y me hace mucha ilusión. He escuchado sus anteriores albumes y son piezas de arte; este no es la excepción
Es tan bueno, tanto liricamente como musicalmente; lleno de ritmos y melodias super buenas. Super recomendable! -
Jun 15, 2021Marina creó un álbum perfectamente balanceado, es increíble la capacidad que tiene de mostrarnos sus sentimientos de la manera más honesta posible. Sin duda es un disco que viene directamente de su alma y corazón, ya que, cada pieza habla lo piensa o siente. 10/10
-
Jun 15, 2021Such a wonderful album. It's the first time MARINA has been so vulnerable in the maiing of an album. The sound is consistent throughout the album and really great lyrics overall.
-
Jun 15, 2021Marina giving us an album with meaningful lyrics and a mixture of both of her best eras, Froot and TFJ, this album is simply beautiful in every sense, from production, vocals, and lyrics. One of her best works so far!
-
Jun 15, 2021This album is really good. Not only the music but the lyrics. Probably the best of the year. I’m kinda upset that New America is still not a single when it should be
-

-
Jun 16, 2021Sin duda alguna el mejor álbum de Marina. La instrumentalización, las letras, la interpretación de Marina es sin duda espectacular. Me sorprendió muchisimo. Excelente trabajo, Marina.
-
Jun 16, 2021Marina regresa con su quinto álbum de estudio y nos brinda arte en toda la extensión de la palabra. Sin duda la lírica de Marina y su voz, acompañadas de la excelente producción de James Flannigan y Jennifer Decilveo nos dan el mejor álbum del año.
-

Jun 17, 2021Superb album. Marina sings balled songs so beautifully. We love a ‘boss girl’ song which Marina gave us (VFT). This album is definitely a favourite. Remember to stream Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land! ;)
-
Jun 18, 2021Sin dudarlo, uno de sus mejores álbumes. Bastante bien organizado en cuanto a las temáticas, pasando de denunciar los problemas del mundo en el que vivimos, a sus propios problemas personales. ¿Lo mejor? Los ecos a sus pasadas eras.
-
Jun 20, 2021A roller coaster of feelings. Phenomenal lyrics uniquely created by Marina.
-
Jun 20, 2021I thank Marina very much for this record, her last one album was not my fave, but this GAVE ME LIFE. You did it! And will always do. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

-
Jun 25, 2021Such a well thoughtful and consciousness album with a lot of political references. Like someone commented before "you will be slapped on the face while dancing along". She's in her best.
-
Jun 25, 2021It may not be Marina’s best album, but it’s definitely amazing, I love all the lyrics. “Goodbye” is a masterpiece.
-
Jul 3, 2021Una obra de arte. Es un álbum sentimental, hace crítica de la sociedad patriarcal y capitalista mientras tiene un ritmo pop; cosas que solo Marina logra hacer
-
Jul 15, 2021Spectacular songwriting, visuals, voice... nothing out of the normal for Marina. Probably her best
-
Jul 22, 2021Marina did a great job mixing her thoughts on social issues and how they have changed as well as the personal issues that she has gone through over the last few years.

Aug 19, 2021Really good! Very well written and excelent melodies. Very similar to "The Family Jewels", at least I think it is. Love the way she creates her music and don't care about the numbers (even though she have the good ones). Thank you for the album, Marina! Love ya.

Oct 2, 2021From the incredible beats of previous centuries to the beautiful piano ballads. Marina served rich production on her album and her voice is so angelic. What an experience!
-
Oct 22, 2021Marina jamás podrá superar su primer álbum este no tiene ninguna canción que salve el álbum
-
Oct 22, 2021literally so good like wtf marina came to slay and end and thats EXACTLY what she did!!

Oct 23, 2021Marina pudo haberlo hecho mejor, hay pocas canciones que salvan el álbum y eso es un poco triste debido a que Marina puede dar más.
-
Oct 24, 2021Marina slayed throughout this album! The messages she's trying to send out, an even spread of energy, one of her best song intros yet, beautiful imagery on Flowers, this album is everything! 10/10!
-
Mar 22, 2022A gem from start to finish!
An album that overflows with positive energy in 10 excellent tracks. With the beautiful voice of Marina and an exquisite production.
10/10 -
May 10, 2022Another pop bible written by the welsh god Marina. I truly love her and i think this is her best album since TFJ.
-
Jul 9, 2022Ancient Dreams In a Modern Land is a stunning return-to-form after losing footing with Love + Fear. An album of only 10 songs, all the songs are strong and solid; there are no bad tracks. Marina has no doubt stunned us like she always does with her last album released under a major record label.

Aug 20, 2022El electro pop que Marina nos da en este álbum es maravilloso hablando de temas sociales que pocos artistas tocan, la producción es realmente maravillosa, todas las canciones tienen un mensaje bastante profundo, fue arriesgado pero le salió muy bien
-
Aug 21, 2022This album is literally perfect. Marina has strong opinions about policial problemas that everybody should care about and she's not afraid of showing the world her opinion about patriarchy and what should be done about it!
-

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.
