Her quirky songs show off both Marina's eccentric personality and her unique voice, which sets The Family Jewels apart from the other albums released by solo, female artists, which often don't have the depth of originality possessed by Marina. Review: I would move mountains to experience listening to this album for the first time again... - I am a fan of Marina, so I decided to buy her albums as CD's since I want to start collecting CD's. If you are a fan of her albums, I would say that you should buy the CD. Of course there's classics that everyone will know like "Hollywood" "Oh no!" "The Family Jewels" and "Hermit the Frog", these you would have probably heard on TikTok if you are on that side of the FYP. However, the're many more songs in here that I would suggest listening to (especially if you have only listened to her songs that are viral on social media.) Shampain is my personal favourite from the album and I would suggest sitting down on an autumn afternoon and listening to it while doing a hobby or if you have nothing else to do. I hope you get this album and play it fully without breaks as the songs tell a story if you listen closely. I promise that it will not disappoint! Plus the design of the album and the physical quality are great and would fit well in any CD collection of similar genres! Review: A solid, coherent, and at times moving debut for Marina and her Diamonds. - It's rare these days that I come across an album where I can listen to it the whole way through and not lose interest at any point. There are no "weak" songs on this album. It starts off strongly with ""Are You Satisfied?", exhibiting just a teaser of Marina's unique (an incredibly overused term I know, but you'll see what I mean when you listen to this woman sing) vocal style and some clever writing of lyrics. The upbeat "Shampain" follows with a distinctive 80s feel and is one of the highlights of the album. "I Am Not A Robot" has a warm, pleasant vibe and slows down the pace a bit. The middle of the album doesn't waver in quality at all. "Girls" is very catchy, "Hollywood" is an instant pop classic, and "The Outsider" is a song many will no doubt find themselves relating to. As the album draws to a close we are treated to another instant pop classic in "Oh No!" before the album takes a melancholic turn and ends on a rather sad note. "Rootless", "Numb", and "Guilty" are mournful and moving. They feel like the most heartfelt, introspective songs on the album. Marina takes us through a range of moods and emotions as she establishes herself as a future force in the pop world. Treat yourself to an innovative, authentic display of alternative pop and give this a listen. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002ZTIILC | | Best Sellers Rank | 7,053 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) 1,205 in Pop Rock 1,313 in Alternative & Indie | | Country of origin | France | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,519) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Label | 679 Recordings Ltd. | | Manufacturer | 679 Recordings Ltd. | | Manufacturer reference | 468362 | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2010 | | Product Dimensions | 12.29 x 14.4 x 0.99 cm; 100.07 g | ## Images ![The Family Jewels - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619QGwWj1yL.jpg) ![The Family Jewels - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/510ei+TAqFL.jpg) ![The Family Jewels - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51fsyvV8KaL.jpg) ![The Family Jewels - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41I8oTE-6bL.jpg) ![The Family Jewels - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-ZQZQQYYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I would move mountains to experience listening to this album for the first time again... *by C***N on 13 October 2024* I am a fan of Marina, so I decided to buy her albums as CD's since I want to start collecting CD's.

I would go along with that! Someone told me about this artist and then, lo and behold, I read a piece in the Guardian about her. Then came the 'research' as I sought out Myspace and Youtube - yeah, we've all done that kind of research! Anyway, this is a glorious debut album, full of soaring vocals and very catchy tunes, with "I Am Not A Robot", "Hollywood" and "Mowgli's Road" all shining a bright light in the direction of Marina Diamandis. Boy, can she deliver a note! She delivers some searing, soaring vocals here, not least on "Numb", my favourite of all the tracks. "Robot" is the other favourite and is just so catchy. The vocal is staccato-like and the lyrics sound very doom-laden and cynical, but I just love it. I wracked my little brain to see what was a better album produced in 2010 and, for me, none bettered this. It is just a wonderful album and, now in 2012, the CD must be knackered and my family fed up with me listening to it and singing along (badly). Of course, the problem is for Marina to build on the wonderment of this album with the difficult second album but, for now, I'll just celebrate this joy of a record! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/50797040-the-family-jewels](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/50797040-the-family-jewels) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
