    @provider I might've came around, I don't hate this as much as I thought I would've

    It's a chill/vibey album, will be nice to throw this on to relax to. I might catch some flack for this but it reminds me of Blonde in some ways? In terms of subject matter and instrumentation. Although I'm not putting this on the level of Blonde

    As of right now though, I place it under Melodrama and Pure Heroine

    I've had so much time (and countless listens) to her first two so naturally this isn't touching them off initial listens. But it is so so great to me and I immediately appreciate it for what it is. She made the album that reflects her life and that's something I value in an artist.

    Does Lorde know that she can ask somebody to post about the album release for her millions of followers? (But I like that she isn't forced to give the keys, metaphorically speaking.)

    And a throat that fills with panic every festival day
    Dutifully fallin' apart for the Princess of Norway

    i don't see how fans can hate on lines like these because they're "pretentious" and "unrelatable." duh. she's a multi-millionaire recording artist. sorry she's not the same teenage heartbroken mess 4 years later.
