Whenever I read or hear a negative review, I have the impression that the person hasn't listened to the album properly or is just judging on false prejudices. Especially when nonsense sentences come up like "everything sounds the same", "the album is too long" or "she is so hyperactive, one album a year is enough". If they have no time and desire to spend time with the music in depth, they should rather not give a review at all.

I don't mean their original music, it was really good and I like it. I mean the success with their "comeback" now in the charts. People buy it just because it's ABBA, the same music with a noname band and nobody would notice.

too late

Her albums would be better if she avoided fillers and "killed her darlings".

Born To Die : Off To The Races, Diet Mountain Dew Paradise : Bel Air Ultraviolence : The Other Woman, Florida Kilos Honeymoon : Burnt Norton, Religion, Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood Lust For Life : Summer Bummer, Groupie Love Norman : None Chemtrails : For Free Blue Banisters : Arcadia unpopular opinion: Arcadia should have been a special release like Summertime or Looking For America

Ok, but is there an artist you really can't stand for some reason?

Which musicians do you like the least? For me, at the moment, it's Adele and Abba, because I don't understand their success, I mean their music is ok, but not really that great. They are so successful only because of their big name.

There's a nice explanation on genius.com From this perspective, the song is even sadder.
