This is the one album where I initially thought, "album of the year", where I then was, with significant-more listens, an album with just a few album highlights, but that overall was, to my surprise, a disappointment.

that cover is a butchering imo
― sleepingbag, Tuesday, 19 December 2017 05:02 (six years ago) link
I listen to it again atm and still really like it.It feels so intimate and touching for such a big pop act.And the production is really good.The whole thing flows nicely and her voice/delivery is fantastic throughout (and I'm not even a fan - have never listened to her first album).I still think it's a bit of a waste that "Loveless" wasn't made into a proper song.

In her wtf interview she enthusing about Phil Collins but I think using Take Me Home as an example of his greatness

It's not the war crime she committed against Tears for Fears level bad, but it's bad.

^ re: the Collins cover obvs
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 24 December 2017 02:29 (six years ago) link
It’s p bad, makes her style feel like schtick actually. Maybe it was on a dare because “I can feel it coming in the air tonight / oh Lorde”. And the keys after the drums enter are pure failure.

just dropping by to say that 'the louvre' is a terrible song and what are you doing calling a song that only a few months after dawn richard bodied that song title
― Cardi Acs (imago), Sunday, 24 December 2017 12:06 (six years ago) link
Perhaps the cover is not great but range is overrated anyway, just thought it was cool to see her do that song but whatevs

Ha, "Take Me Home" is my favorite Phil Collins song ever. Still doesn't make me like this album more. I really like a few songs, but don't see the love for the album whole anymore.
― Rod Steel (musicfanatic), Tuesday, 26 December 2017 00:05 (six years ago) link
Yeah I’m a big fun. fan but I definitely prefer Lorde’s Joel Little stuff to her Jack Antonoff stuff.
― DJI, Tuesday, 26 December 2017 00:48 (six years ago) link
Except that ending of Green Light where the distorted bending synths kick in and finish it off. That bit is killer.

For an album titled “Melodrama,” it was oddly cool-blooded...“Green Light” is a dynamite track, and around half the others were def. good; but the CD stopped finding its way from my glove box to car stereo after a few weeks.

Hey Morris maybe you should find that cd.
― Slippage (Ross), Sunday, 10 June 2018 01:34 (five years ago) link
It’s still in my glove box! Probably under a CD that gets more play (like “Reputation”).

I loved this album !But it bombed, didn't it ?I feel like I never hear about her anymore.
― AlXTC from Paris, Friday, 29 June 2018 09:35 (five years ago) link
I hear about her doing covers every few weeks

Like this album a lot. Favorite tic that hasn't been mentioned in this thread is the scream in Supercut. Also anyone else get Echo + TB vibes at the end of The Louvre?― ein Sexmonster (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Friday, June 16, 2017 3:20 PM (three years ago) bookmarkflaglink

I'm just getting around to this. I don't know Echo and the Bunnymen very well, but it reminded me of the outro to Siouxsie's Dazzle.

"green light" & "the louvre" both great tracks though
― ufo, Monday, 7 June 2021 23:43 (two years ago) link
I like it, but more in theory than execution. "Supercut" will always be a perfect song to me, though, and "Green Light" and "Writer in the Dark" are pretty up there as well
― winters (josh), Monday, 7 June 2021 23:50 (two years ago) link
i think the chorus of "the louvre" is fucking amazing, and i like "supercut" but this album radiates high key theater kid energy that is repellant to me unless it is cut with other things
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 8 June 2021 00:48 (two years ago) link
The new song is nice (not so sure about the lyrics, tho).
