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!

What a songwriter and producer is Marina seriously, the topics are so well development in this album, in songs that don't surprased the 4 minutes, wow -
Jun 12, 2021Marina is visionary, managed to make a conscious album something catchy, their lyrics are powerful.
-
Jun 12, 2021i love this album, there is not a single extra song here, just a piece of art. stream adiaml and enjoy your life❤️
-
Jun 12, 2021Everything about it is simply stunning, from the lyrics to the themes and the melodies. It's hard to rank her albums but this may be the best one yet.
-
Jun 12, 2021this album shows her honest self and also redeemed herself that she can still make good albums even after releasing love + fear which i still listen to till this day!
-
Jun 12, 2021Это возвращение к истокам Марины, но наполнено оно новыми интонациями. Приятно слышать такое возвращение певицы, дерзко, насыщенно и красочно.
-
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 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 12, 2021Wonderfully put together and the concept of the whole album fits the problems we face these days. It's very much like the MARINA I felt I discovered all those years ago. The lyricism is so well written and the vocals are stunning as usual.
-
Jun 12, 2021Every song has a different vibe, yet connected to each others. Though some songs take a couple of listening, this is an album thats worth to try
-
Jun 11, 2021omggg servedd wtf it requires 75 characters i am not an expert

Jun 11, 2021La voz de MARINA y sus letras siempre me dejan una sensación rara pero que me gusta. Goodbye es estupenda.
-
Jun 11, 2021Marina NEVER disappoints me, she is a genius and always does a great job, for me she is the definition of what an artist is. I LOVE HER A LOT!
-
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 11, 2021with her incredible new album, marina continues proving that she’s a complete artist
-
Jun 11, 2021She did her way baby! Nothing in this world can change her. This album proves that Marina has a unique pop-punk-rock-indie criticism music style.
-
Jun 11, 2021New America relates our situation in this world. Great social discussions in the whole album. 10!
-
Jun 11, 2021Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land destaca por su gran cohesión instrumental y lírica. Te pone a bailar mientras toca temas de importancia actual de índole social y ambiental. La progresión de los acordes y los cambios de melodía vuelven a las canciones muy poco predecibles. Asimismo, baladas bellas que balancean la energía de la primera mitad. Un excelente álbum y un soplido de aire fresco.
-
Jun 11, 2021Marina retorna a música de forma surpreendente e poderosa, com músicas que lembram as eras anteriores, principalmente a era FROOT.
-
Jun 11, 2021MARINA’S BEST ALBUM. SHE POURED HER HEART AND SOUL INTO THIS. SO PROUD OF HER
-
Jun 11, 2021Marina mais uma vez prova porque é conhecida como a mais sensata. O álbum é de uma profundidade sentimental impressionante, o que me surpreendeu bastante, já que eu esperava algo mais comercial. Com certeza é o mais bem trabalhado e autêntico da sua carreira, sucedendo todos os seus outros trabalhos de forma muito harmônica e sólida.
-
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.
-
Jun 11, 2021Her best art work till date.!!! She came for blood this time around. New Sound, amazing lyrics.
-
Jun 11, 2021There is no weak song in this album, it's absolutely perfect. The time when L+F was out, it was obvious that she was lost but with this album she seems to find herself in a precious and poetic way. Ancient Dreams In a Modern Land is probably her best album yet.
-
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 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, 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, 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 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 11, 2021Marina is talented, briliant, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique. fav songs venus fly trap.
-
Jun 11, 2021After “Love + Fear” her weakest album, “ADIAML” is a very pleasant album, well produced and with mature lyrics.
-
Jun 11, 2021Theatrical and Epic. These words are the only thing you should expect from this work of art.
-
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 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, 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 another great album where Marina knew how to guide us into this experience that is her compositions; The cohesion is undeniable and also brings us memories from her prior albums, completely showstopping.
-
Jun 11, 2021Claramente este álbum es una reinvención de Marina como artista, combina la crítica social actual con un ritmo que dices woow, es de tontos comparar con sus demás álbumes ya que este tiene un toque único que lo separa del resto.
Super recomendado -

-
Jun 11, 2021Um dos melhores discos da carreira, onde Marina soube ser sagaz, com letras e melodias instigantes, que falam sobre suas esperanças, suas angustias... sobre suas lutas. De fato, um ótimo trabalho que vai nos render longos sonhos antigos nessa terra caótica.
-
Jun 11, 2021Es un álbum precioso. Logré conectar con cada una de las canciones. Es nostálgico, melancólico y poderoso. Son sin duda emociones fuertes para un álbum excelente. Lo amé.
-
Jun 11, 2021marina did it again, great musics with great lyrics, one of her best albuns
-
Jun 11, 2021Un excelente álbum, cada canción es excelente, los sonidos muy dinámicos y cada letra de las canciones es un boom emocional que podemos aplicar a muchas situaciones de nuestra vida, te amo Marina

-
Jun 11, 2021Her best album yet. The first half of the album is full of bop songs and then the last songs are beautiful ballads, just as social criticism, it’s everything we needed to hear. Love Marina, and this album uses FROOT and The family jewels elements to create her best songs.
-
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 11, 2021Incredible production, the dance tracks are full enjoyable and denote a social criticism very well and welcome. The ballads feels like piano strikes over the heart and 'holographic' voice style.
-
Jun 11, 2021MAGNÍFICO!!! Su obra más grande hasta el momento, Marina siempre se supera. Estoy muy feliz por ella, he evolucionado yo también con su discografía, a todas las canciones les daba siempre mi propio significado.
-
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 11, 2021Brilliant
-
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 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, 2021Um álbum majestoso, poderoso e único. Marina se consolida como uma das maiores compositoras da nossa geração, entregando um trabalho coeso, pessoal e que incita a reflexão.
-
Jun 11, 2021Amazing to hear marina going back to her acoustic routes with songs like flowers and goodbye. Some really good upbeat tracks like Venus fly trap and the title track.
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.
