I'm absolutely loving the way the comment section is ripping her to shreds https://www.stereogum.com/2157457/lorde-solar-power-album-review/reviews/premature-evaluation/ "Mehhh her whole "I don't want to be the voice of a generation" would land harder if she didn't attempt to make an album that sounds like literally every other popstar making an album right now." "It’s astounding how much her songwriting has regressed since her debut. I know it’s a cliché observation, but Pure Heroine was written by somebody wise beyond their years. I was lukewarm on the lyrical content of Melodrama because it’s full of songs for people who are EXACTLY 20-23, but it at least had the bombast to cover up that shortcoming." "This whole minimalism thing has been done to death in the mainstream the last couple of years. Lorde's best when her sound is expansive, not when it's whittled down to its lowest common denominator elements."

the production doesn't strike me as anything honestly it could be new

helen of troy is giving this

ok i finished listening to the whole album there are a few solid tracks and some decent but overall most songs are extremely repetitive and there's no variety in instrumentation

IMO it goes better with the album than say Solar Power

helen of troy is really one of the best tracks i don't get why she made it a deluxe edition... it makes no sense

i don't know what drugs eclipse was on but helen of troy is actually good?? how did he call it the worst track

this hurts so bad cause it's true...... anyway so y'all don't call me a troll the fallen fruit snippet is really promising

making up lies? girl i was literally referring to something i read on here.... this was the comment for reference

I cannot believe y'all thought oceanic feeling was gonna top venice bitch.... im sorry the clownery in this thread is so high

It’s true that Lana stans are 1) very defensive of Lana 2) praise her for doing the bare minimum aka COCC basically But Lorde stans aren’t better either, SP is not that great of an album and her fans are praising it just bc it’s coated with pretentious cult imagery that goes nowhere and has no bearing on the music It’s not *bad* but we know most of the praise isn’t because of the music itself but because of who it’s coming from

have you ever heard Sufjan Stevens ??? y’all are praising her for doing the bare minimum

YESS can’t wait for a low score and no critical acclaim ??????? a dream come true

i get its cute but how are people calling this her best song?

i told y'all mood ring is giving california early 2000s acoustic tease i still don't understand why it's so short... she could've easily sneaked a bridge in and then have a more explosive chorus at the end no they don't.. also mr is in a minor key solar power in a major key

N1A is much more poppy if that makes sense

Didn’t Melodrama undersell in the US? She doesn’t have to worry about a room being filled with people who don’t know her songs cause the room is not gonna be filled anyway

We still don’t know if it’s actually good but even if it is it doesn’t cancel out all the boring short songs with no intro/outro/bridge the fill the album Mood Ring had potential to be an album highlight cause the chorus is rly good but she completely wasted it

It’s so clear that Lorde wanted her Venice Bitch moment but she’s never gonna get it

Mood Ring is cute it's deffo giving california 00s tease but it's way too short... it doesn't even have a bridge like???? Why is she making these short ass songs what was the reason? no bridge no outro no intro just vibes

the path is so bad

white mercedes is terrible please

as you should bestie

I’m sorry but 7 months is way too early to announce anything When Dua Lipa released FN in March she had announced it in December, so 3 months prior, and the first single had been released for over a month Announcing the first single a month in advance and the album 7 months in advance is just stupid and poor planning Especially cause we know the promo is gonna be very limited, if there even IS any promo I just hope it doesn’t leak and she gets to actually release it

oh yeah totally I get that, that’s kinda way I’ve been shying away from those songs personally cause even though I like them I don’t wanna overdo them and yeah 10 tracks was deffo not enough considering L+F had 16?? almost 20 tracks compared to now. And we know she had more songs ready to be released
