I think they were only referring to the 2 bonus tracks?

NGL i hope this album is bad cause i wanna see lorde stans bend over backwards to justify it and explain how an acoustic stripped down guitar ballad is actually a masterpiece  like that is so funny

I hope we don't pretend to like it, that's the worst case scenario

“I haven’t made a Jack Antonoff record,” she told NYT in an interview about her upcoming album, Solar Power. “I’ve made a Lorde record and he’s helped me make it and very much deferred to me on production and arrangement. Jack would agree with this. To give him that amount of credit is frankly insulting.”

One week left until this utter collapse 

[rightofjupiter]

remember how everyone was talking about what a flop the new billie record was and then it came out and they were like "oh it's actually good"...

 

obviously idk how i'll feel about the album– i think SP is good (not great) but looooved stoned at the nail salon– but it seems at LEAST as likely as not that it won't be a "flop."

 

[melodrama]

the way we're gonna forget this negativity and think it's her best album when it drops

[TangerineDreams]

Very hyped for this, Mood Ring is song of the summer

[Brooklynbaby]

So far I’m on the fence how I think this album will be for me because I absolutely love lorde always have but solar power kind of got boring once the excitement of lordes return wore off and then I heard California and was like oh sh*t this is kinda boring but stoned at the nail salon I love and reignited my anticipation so fingers crossed the songs will be better in context with the album  im hopeful ??

So many people has the album now, they're playing it to each other for nudes.... I wish i was this lucky

How hard is it for Lorde to send her fans an email in a predictable cadence? pls I'm parched. All I can wish for at this point is a track-by-track commentary like it was for Melodrama.

That NYT article was interesting. Just some of my thoughts...

• "Even now, with the obligations piling up ahead of “Solar Power,” Lorde scheduled a weeklong beach vacation with friends, and used a scheduled interview as an occasion to multitask, walking to buy a tote bag full of nice cheese for the trip." You can do that any time in the down years...
• Talking about fame, ha Chemtrails era
• I think it's interesting Lorde tamps down at people idolizing her. I don't think she enjoys the spotlight being a "cult leader" (see Solar Power MV vibes) brings but I feel like that's what her fanbase is and that's what makes her unique? Clearly there are things worth worshipping Lorde about--such as her gift to concisely speak to emotions/experiences and Solar Power so far feels less emotionally charged which makes me worried. Oh well.
