picturebook 900 Posted August 24, 2021 Solar Power is Lorde's Chemtrails. It is too minimalist for me and uninspired. Both are by no means bad albums but compared to the previous releases it's rather weak. I will still listen to it and enjoy it but it will have no impact on my life and neither will it have an impact on Lorde's career. Just like Chemtrails came and went so will Solar Power. Jack needs to take a break and come back when he can produce something as amazing as NFR and Folklore. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inferno Euphoria 6,494 Posted August 24, 2021 I tried to remake the tracklist and I kinda think it flows better that way: Spoiler 1. The Path 2. California 3. Secrets From a Girl Who's Seen It All (With the outro removed ) 4. Stoned at The Nail Salon 5. Fallen Fruit 6. Dominoes 7. Helen Of Troy 8. Mood Ring 9. Solar Power 10. Big Star 11. Oceanic Feeling And also I tried to make alternative covers since I really liked the photoshoot: 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mer 61,781 Posted August 24, 2021 Okay I find "Dominoes" incredibly irritating but IDK why I can't stop listening to it. Have had it on all day at work on repeat. It scratches an itch in the worst-best-way possible. 0 Quote ⊹ (:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅[̲̅:♡:]̲̅:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅) ⊹ 𓊔 I took the miracle move on drug 𓊔 ⚕️ The effects were temporary ⚕️ ⊹ (:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅[̲̅:♡:]̲̅:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅) ⊹ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

expandableclitoris 9,091 Posted August 25, 2021 now that we have the album, what would be your dream setlist? mine: 1. Solar Power 2. California 3. Perfect Places 4. Secrets From A Girl 5. Ribs 6. Supercut (w/ a 'ray of light' inspired rework**) 7. Hold No Grudge 8. Still Sane 9. Liability (electric guitar rework) 10. Stoned At The Nail Salon 11. Green Light (kinda like this version) 12. The Path 13. No Better 14. The Love Club 15. Mood Ring 16. Team 17. Dominoes 18. Royals (acoustic guitar/arena rock rework) 19. Fallen Fruit 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mer 61,781 Posted August 25, 2021 @expandableclitoris yes but switch the first and last. Fallen Fruit would make a great opener I feel...with some really eery cool intro visuals on the big screen. And SP as an encore/closer. 2 Quote ⊹ (:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅[̲̅:♡:]̲̅:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅) ⊹ 𓊔 I took the miracle move on drug 𓊔 ⚕️ The effects were temporary ⚕️ ⊹ (:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅[̲̅:♡:]̲̅:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅) ⊹ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeminiLanaFan 49,048 Posted August 25, 2021 1 minute ago, mrborntolose said: thoughts? I don’t know. It makes sense, since she’s been on hiatus for four years. As for a second part to SP, I like SP but don’t love it. If she releases a part two to it, it will raise (at least for me) the inevitable question: why not release hell of an album instead of two iffy parts? 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
