Didn't see this posted here yet but BOZ said the delay is due to vinyl production. Also appears to love the target cover. Oh and said this about the BB video "I'm pretty sure that was just an album trailer, but I remember hearing about directors being asked to send treatments for REAL BB video so that might be coming later ".

I understand not wanting songs we have already heard, but it’s not her fault they leaked and people have listened to them. Maybe her intention was always to leave them aside for a future album who knows.

I remember insiders hyping up Solar Power a lot, and I ended up being a little disappointed. Maybe it is good to keep my expectations for this low though.

Someone should ask if the album is better than Solar Power at least.

In the Arcadia one

He also said there is a lot of piano and he did not like the album.

This site does a good job at keeping up with reviews. https://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/378462-lorde-solar-power.php The album still hasn’t grown on me too much but it’s kind of ridiculous how low it is rated by critics. I think Justin Bieber is the only mainstream artist with a lower score.

Oh I've only listened to it on Spotify. I wonder if that leak was the vinyl version or something.

What?? What version of the song is that?

The only songs I loved were The Path, Fallen Fruit, and Oceanic Feeling. I still can't believe how wrong insiders were about this album.

Yeah wtf. Did not expect this at all. Some of these reviews are brutal https://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/378462-lorde-solar-power.php.

Fallen Fruit is amazing.

Omg 2/5 from the Independent https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/lorde-review-solar-power-b1904612.html

Wow. I couldn't read the whole thing because of the paywall. From the title alone, it seems like they were harsh though.

3/5 from The telegraph https://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/what-to-listen-to/lorde-solar-power-review-underpowered-shift-every-girl-outsider/ Solar Power, review: an underpowered shift from every-girl outsider to over-privileged solipsist

I’ve heard a few people say this is the worst off the album so can’t wait to hear it.

Oceanic feeling is my favorite so far! But yeah not sure why people were comparing it to Venice Bitch.

First review of the album that I’ve seen from The Times. 4/5 stars

It seems like tracks 7-10 are even more stripped back than SATNS. So maybe they are in either Fallen Fruit or Oceanic Feeling.

But the boxes don’t count as album sells apparently. Seems weird that her label is okay with missing out on sells like that.

Lyrics for all the songs are up on genius. I can’t wait to hear Secrets.

Hearing that it’s not psychedelic at all is disappointing. I swear some insider had said this album gave off beach boys vibes but haven’t heard too much of that so far.

Can’t wait to hear Fallen Fruit. Everyone has had great things to say about it so far. Also BOZ said he thought Chemtrails was better than SP. Not sure if he is a Lana stan or typically likes her music or not though.
