Whole album is forgettable as fuck for me. So sad because Lorde’s lyricism usually pinches a unique nerve in my heart. Meh.
 
 
leak the melodrama interludes

harry styles music sucks and he needs to stop with this fake ass androgynous persona, he is not pulling it off

a lot of people had After School before it leaked… like months prior.

I'm assuming they had a leak or had a source tell them that
 
It was only a week or two before release

arent they a “psychic” and not an insider…. 

yeah the most basic title of all time, they’ve been debunked many many many times

Okay, so I've been listening to the album today and I just have to say.. I'm underwhelmed. I sort of expected this based on what critics & users here were saying, but it's just kind of sad considering this was 4 years in the making. That's not to say it's a bad album per se, it just doesn't live up to her past two works. I think because we all had high expectations based on her previous two albums, both of which were stellar, that's probably why this album falls short in comparison. I'm not sure that I'd give any song on this album anything beyond an 8/10 or even a 7. I've only listened to the album 5 times through, and I think my favourite track is California. I'll give it a few more listens over the next few days before I come back with full thoughts to see if it begins to grow on me, but for right now, I'm just a tad disappointed. This record lacked a true "Wow" moment for me, and that seems to be the case for others as well x

fantano saying "much of solar power (the album) reads like satire without the satire" gets to the crux of it 

NDA was cute I like it but why are her videos always so boring lol there’s never anything going on in them other than 1 specific thing that the entire video focuses on. It’s like it’s 1 scene from a music video dragged out. In this vid she’s walking with cars passing her, in the your power video she’s sitting on a mountain w a snake around her, in the everything i wanted video shes in a car, in the xanny video she’s sitting on a bench and people are putting out cigs on her, in the all the good girls go to hell vid she falls out the sky and is walking with wings, and that’s all that is happening like, sure the vids look pretty but where’s the direction..

daily reminder the Tag, You're It is Melanie's best song and it's the apex of her lyrical and melodical songwriting 

Damn I listened to it when it first leaked thinking it was K-12. Still, I hope that's not what MM3 sounds like... bad vocals, meh production, funnily annoying chorus... and the verses drag on for way too long. 

i really like the verses on DB but the chorus is super annoying and its missing a good bridge, i hope its just a rough demo or something and shes still working on it!

As far as I knew, Arts & Crafts is from the CB sessions.Recorded in August 2014.
What wiki are you reading? It says 2014 and I think it was confirmed. In the other hand, Wiki is not that reliable as it comes from what users put on it. Not every single thing from the wiki is real.

tbh i didnt knew who elon musk was before grimes lol then a googled him and was like "GRIMES' BOYFRIEND IS A BILLIONARE WTF"
 
idc at least now she can make better produced music videos, get that musk coin girl

I don’t think Atlantic treats her bad, they have her 6 million dollars to shoot a movie 
 
Compare that to Charli who had her third album scrapped and had two release two mixtape to get critical praise and only then could release an album

the fact that we JOKED when NTMT released with "see you in 2023 for masochism" ..........
 

Love Again (or for an unknown song) has already been shot and allegedly it has MASSIVE production, but I'd die if he did something for the next single

Can the basement they run Billboard out of collapse already?

Absolutely fucking bullshit, 4K sales removed from the total, a fucking two years full of #1 pushed by fans mass buying and now there's a problem? Ridiculous, is this because she's pro-Palestine? 

New Cry Baby album photoshoot outtakes leaked. From August 2014. Second and last one are edits from one of the leakers but still of unleaked photos so including them

I dont think the movie's failure is completely Melanie's fault. She kinda worked what she had and clearly the final product ended up turning out differently than what she meant it to be. She had to literally scrap like more than half of the movie's script/story due to budget and that alone will easily ruin a movie but she also had to fit 13 songs into it (+couldnt even fit one of the songs which says alot ab how much the movie had to be changed) which took up more than half of the script, meaning the final product had about like 1/3 of actual movie script it was originally supposed to have. Imo its almost impossible to make a good movie with all of that going on, the fact that she made something somewhat watchable and that connected in some way that made sense at all is impressive especially regarding the fact that its literally the first movie she ever made and she did it all by herself. And some of yall might say that if she knew shed have to cut out so much of the story and all she shouldve just not made the movie at all which is not a good point bc I think she's really into this movie stuff and she has to start somewhere, good filmaking doesnt usually magically happen at first attempt.
 
BUT.. Salem is 100% right. She couldve done stuff to avoid some of (if not all) of these issues.
 
1. As Salem also pointed out, the location was one of the main things that messed everything up because of how much money it took to film there and stuff. She couldve gone for a simpler style for the schools setting (like those old promo pics we got for an earlier K-12 concept, when we thought "bluffington" was a thing) and that wouldve made everything WAY easier and wouldve still been very interesting to look at bc it wouldve felt very artistic. Then she could have also built up with following movies.
 
2. When she realized that she would have to completely change the movie script drastically she couldve found a experienced writer who could have helped her condense the movie in a way that would be better, it still probably wouldnt have made the best movie but it wouldve been better
 
3. She couldve not forced 13 songs into the movie and only chosen some main tracks that are important to the films story and then made music videos after the release of the movie that would go along with the movie and add to it
 
hopefully she'll find some way to avoid these problems in mm3 but since mm3 is probably gonna be in some sort of spiritual realm she'll rlly have to be smart about everything to get it to turn out well

Ok Ok we get it but pls just leak Night Mime HQ and this can all end..

The more leaks we get the more I understand why K-12 felt so watered down... it seems like she was/is running out of ideas  I think she has great potential as a writer when she doesn't choose to keep herself in this box (i.e. Haunted, Half Hearted, A Thousand Words, and Can't Shake You)
