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.

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.

it was a good album, not a great one

"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).

it immediately reminded me of "Brighter Than The Sun" by Colbie Caillat

idk why people keep trying to re-write "freedom 90," they know we can listen to the actual "freedom 90" whenever we want, right?
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Thursday, 10 June 2021 23:18 (two years ago) link
I don't hear "Freedom! '90" at all in this but my first thought when I heard this was "yvan eht nioj" from the Simpsons despite barely any resemblance so I guess that says more about me than the song
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Thursday, 10 June 2021 23:21 (two years ago) link
i immediately heard "freedom 90" too and then it goes further and further in that direction
― ufo, Thursday, 10 June 2021 23:29 (two years ago) link
It feels like a very self-conscious attempt to write a "summer anthem."
― like a d4mn sociopath! (morrisp), Thursday, 10 June 2021 23:30 (two years ago) link

Isn't Freedom 90 just a rewrite of "Feelin Alright" anyways?
― MarkoP, Friday, 11 June 2021 00:11 (two years ago) link
finally heard it, pleasant but uneventful, for whatever reason i do not like listening to lorde sing
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 11 June 2021 00:12 (two years ago) link
Anyways, my first go to points of reference ended up being Natalie Imbruglia's Wish I Was There or Sheryl Crow, but with more modern minimal arrangement/production/mixing akin to Billie Eilish or something from the last Haim album.
― MarkoP, Friday, 11 June 2021 00:15 (two years ago) link
weird to attribute a "Freedom '90" sound to a person who has never shown interest in that sound
― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 11 June 2021 00:24 (two years ago) link
Agree with MarkoP, that’s more or less the same comparison I thought of, specially imbruglia
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 11 June 2021 00:32 (two years ago) link
Oh forget it chorus just came on, it definitely sounds like freedom now.

radiates high key theater kid energy
There’s someone I want you to meet.Her feet are bare at all times. She’s sexy, playful, feral, and free. She’s a modern girl in a deadstock bikini, in touch with her past and her future, vibrating at the highest level when summer comes around. Her skin is glowing, her lovers are many. I’m completely obsessed with her, and soon you will be too.It’s my divine pleasure to be introducing you, at long last, to my third studio album, SOLAR POWER.

maybe she will be a character like Marina used to do and Lorde will murder her at the end of the album
let her live that fantasy

comparisons to "freedom 90" and "brighter than the sun" have already killed my interest in this immediately, not that i rly like lorde much anyway

Let her be, she’s 24 and used to people praising every thing she writes. I’m in for midsommar Lorde.
