Lorde - Melodrama (June 16, 2017) Album • Page 13

So this is pretty tremendous.

 

You know how David Bowie said Lorde sounds like the future? Yep. This is a truly special record.

 

That "solo" in "Hard Feelings/Loveless" that sounds like a very tuneful industrial accident is blowing my mind.

 

Instant AOTY candidate

 

Also: huge props to her for taking her time with this album. 4 years is a long time in the pop world. Instead of rushing some new music to feed the machine, she buckled down, lived more of her life, found new muses, and trusted her fans to wait for her. It paid off dividends.

 

I adore this. The Louvre and Writer in the Dark are the two standouts, not counting the prerelease tracks.

 

"Broadcast the boom boom boom boom and make em all dance to it"

This

 

That part is fantastic.

Also love what sounds like demo vocals inserted into "Supercut".

 

There are a lot of good raw vocal moments on this. Which isn't shocking, since Jack is a big fan of those and uses them well.

 

Sober and Sober II are both insane.

 

Once I get through the rest of today's releases I'll be coming back to this for a second listen. Might even do that before I hear some of the other ones to be honest.

 

Only had one listen so far, but it's very good. Some real high points on this.

 

Supercut is a very special song

 

This record is incredible. Definitely a top 5 so far, maybe higher

 

This may end up being my favorite thing released in the first half of the year. I am seriously loving it.

 

I'm so glad this has been getting so much praise

Although, by the end of the day I'm sure we're going to be seeing some hot takes

 

I can't even imagine

 

That moment is so good!

 

This is fantastic. The Louvre and Supercut are my early favorites.

 

I'm enjoying this, but for right now, I enjoy the first album a lot more. I'm sure this will be in heavy rotation though.

 

damn I'm actually hyped to hear this after reading the thread

 

The strings in Sober II remind me of the strings at the end of Girl, Gun by All Get Out, haha. Sort of a random little connection.

 

only one listen so far but this is very, very good

 

I think what i like about this over pure heroine right now is that it feels more focused. Pure Heroine has some of my favorite songs ever (I have listened to Ribs every day for at least a few years now), but this definitely has less filler
