You are funny sometimes

i mean 'melodrama' is nice enough... but i prefer the sonic pallette here and i think there's more interesting melodies and lyrics

i think this album is better than 'melodrama' tbh.

 

:lol:

Of all the ridiculous things dannjohn has said that may be one of the worst x

 

I think after having time to mellow with the tracks on this album it is a bit better than I initially gave it credit for but it's still leagues behind her other two albums, 'Fallen Fruit' is really the only song on it that goes toe to toe with her biggest discography highlights.

 

That said, it's not even the most disappointing 2021 release by a female singer whose name starts with L for me.

Blue Banisters exists

 

For me ‘Mood Ring’ is one of her best ever tracks!

opinions are subjective brer.

 

i think 'solar power' just embodies who Lorde is. I feel 'Solar Power' has more interesting melodies in it... 'Big Star', 'Mood Ring' and 'Secrets From a Girl' are just top tier tracks.

 

With 'Melodrama' I only really feel that way about 'Liability'

I take back what I said. You calling 'Big Star' a highlight of 'Solar Power' is an even worse thing to say. :basil:

 

(Here for the 'Liability' love though)

I'm also team 'Solar Power' here x

It’s up there with Kanye’s last few albums for me in terms of biggest disappointments (although I still have hope I’ll like the next album, whereas for Kanye I think I’m done with him :’) ). Melodrama is one of my favourite albums of the last ten years and this is just…there. Definitely the biggest disappointment of last year for me.

 

And no Blue Banisters slander pls, it’s one of Lana’s best!

Yeah I totally agree that this is her weakest album by quite some distance, coming after the standard of the first two (I do echo the 'Mood Ring' love though)

She was absolutely fantastic tonight in Leeds, first stop on her European tour.

Although Solar Power is my least favourite of her 3 albums (and that’s not to say I dislike it at all!), it really does come to life when played live and I’m looking forward to revisiting it tomorrow.

 

And Mood Ring is just a banger!!

Went with Jade to see her in Birmingham on Monday - got pretty lucky with the setlist (spoiler tags in case they're necessary which they probably aren't x),

apparently she's been alternating between performing 'Hard Feelings/Loveless' and 'The Louvre' and the Birmingham date got the latter, that's my favourite Lorde song vs. one that I don't rate particularly highly! (albeit I'm aware many others do x). This was also her live debut of 'Helen Of Troy' (taking a spot in the encore that looks like it was previously mostly held by 'Hold No Grudge'), and she dropped 'Dominoes' in favour of 'Big Star', all three of these changes are upgrades for me *.* 'Big Star' was not a favourite for me at all from the album but it was already growing on me a bit revisiting her discog ahead of the concert and it sounded really lovely live, down to the album only having 2 real duds for me ('Dominoes' and 'Leader Of A New Regime').

'Solar Power' the song sounded way better live than it ever has on record, an unexpected highlight

especially with the massive confetti explosion into the crowd during the chant at the end

! 'Fallen Fruit' was as much of a moment live as I thought it would be though, the bass kicking in halfway through :cheeseblock: 'Ribs' and 'Supercut' were also major highlights in a live setting!

 

Had a great time, especially as we ended up being able to sit with our very own HausEatsGrandma in the balcony <3 knew he was going to be there as well ages ago but only recently found out we both had balcony tickets and it was still a bit of a stroke of luck that we were able to find each other inside the venue haha after Bal initially walked past us in the queue without noticing us. Apologies to the support act Marlon Williams as I wasn't paying any attention at all between looking for Bal and then chatting to him when he arrived oops xx

 

Also she said gay rights (literally) so we stan.

The crowd jumping up and down with Lorde while the

instrumental part of 'Ribs' a few minutes in

was blasting through the venue was peak euphoria tbh

it's funny that she has like an A setlist and a B setlist, and it's just 3 changes but much prefer one to the other

Is there any other similar sounding albums? Really love this album perfect for sunbathing

I saw the Tour last night in Verona and it was just MAGICAL.

 

EVERY song just SHONE so bright, and the setting couldn't be more akin to the sound of the album being in a (very hot evening) in a Medieval castle. I will never forget last night.

My boyfriend also proposed (earlier in the day) so it was an all kind of emotions day.

 

She also sang

Writer in The Dark and she put the microphone to us on the second chorus so that we could sing WITH her!

Gotta love a redemption queen.

 

Basically if you can go and see this Tour, do NOT hesitate!

 

i'm seeing her in Ali Pali next week and excited as it's the first ever show i'm seeing there (also annoying because I lived LITERALLY behind Ali Pali for 3 years and there was never anything good on).

I was kind of disappointed to not get shushed tbh
