Surprised no one has mentioned her charity show at Royal Albert Hall next month!
:unsure:

Have you even listened to Halcyon? :o

 

Yes, I have all her albums. Delirium is still her best by far but there are some good tracks on Halcyon.

1. Halcyon (11/10)

2. Lights (10/10)

3. Delerium (7/10)

 

'Halcyon' is just perfection, it's in my top 5 albums of all time. Her debut isn't as strong but it's identity is not one I'd change in the slightest, it's a more timid and unsure take to her follow up. Still amazing. Organic pop, if you will.

 

'Delirium' is strong but it just seemed like manufactured Ellie.'Holding On For Life' and 'Aftertaste' are two of her best. But, as a whole it just didn't feel right.

For me it's Lights > Delirium > Halcyon, although this would be a closer rival to Lights with a bit of quality control I'd say.

 

1. Intro (Delirium)

2. Aftertaste

3. Something In the Way You Move

4. Keep On Dancin'

5. On My Mind

6. Codes

7. Holding On For Life

8. Love Me Like You Do

9. Don't Need Nobody

10. We Can't Move To This

11. Army

12. Lost and Found

13. Devotion

 

That already is a much better album I think, just by taking a few of the less good songs (imo) out. Rejig the tracklist a bit and it could be even better. Seeing her live really made me appreciate most of this album :wub: Hopefully she can work on quality control next time and make an all-killer, no-filler album.

for me:

Halcyon>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Delerium >Lights

 

with Delerium and Lights being quite close with both having lots of filler. In this sense, Halcyon feels to me like the one with less fillers, more songs that I really like

I think I'll do a rate here.. using the deluxe version.

 

1. Intro (Delirium) 10/10 - amazing intro!

2. Aftertaste 8/10

3. Something In The Way You Move 9/10 - pop banger! It had so much potential..

4. Keep On Dancin' 9/10

5. On My Mind 10/10 - I loved the new sound when she released this!

6. Around U 5/10 - I don't really like it.

7. Codes 10/10

8. Holding On For Life 10/10

9. Love Me Like You Do 10/10 - obviously not meant for the album, but it's incredible!

10. Don't Need Nobody 7/10

11. Don't Panic 10/10 - just so good

12. We Can't Move To This 6/10 - it's a nice upbeat song but doesn't deserve to be on an album!

13. Army 10/10 - love the lyrics and production!!

14. Lost and Found 10/10

15. Devotion 8/10

16. Scream It Out 9/10

17. The Greatest 10/10 - again, I love the lyrics. This is my favourite off the album!

18. I Do What I Love 3/10 - no words needed

19. Paradise 7/10 - nice song but sounds too much like Crying For No Reason

20. Winner 9/10

21. Heal 8/10

22. Outside 10/10 - not meant for the album, but it's a very good dance track.

 

While most songs have good scores, I do still find it quite poor in comparison to Halcyon.

The second half of Delirium seems more personal.

Delirium is such a huge disappointment in comparison to the wonderful halcyon days. I totally agree with Tyler its certainly manufactured Ellie.

Fml looks like she's releasing Holding On For Life...

 

Music video filmed and finished by Emil Nava...

 

Not happy at all - wtf is she doing releasing a song from a 2015 album. The last single was like 16 months ago
