Watch all the antis switch like f when they see this

Unfortunately, Lorde is one of the mainstream artists who gets the most amount of reviews, so we're not even close to being done and anything can happen

This FLAWLESS Slate review about the album, whew 

Quote

 This album knows something many would-be "empowerment pop"–makers misunderstand, that often what validates audiences most is to hear our weakness and woundedness expressed at levels we can't articulate for ourselves, and transfigured into beauty. Sad songs relieve sad people of their isolation, and broken bangers help make our broken estate (which is ultimately everybody's) a condition we can live through. Like we've been touched, all over again, for the very first time.

 

Current affairs might genuinely be one of if not my favorite song by her ever omg SOTY from ROTY

Listened to the album for the first time and I really liked it. The last couple of pre-release songs weren't as instant to me as What Was That.

It definitely works better as a full album versus a few standalone singles.

Pitchfork are going to tease this out as long as possible.

Quote

Lorde casts her scope onto the kind of thorny subject matter rarely discussed outside of a therapist's office: generational trauma, pregnancy tests, dysmorphia, dysphoria, sexual dominance and submission. As Virgin traverses fairytales, New York City, the Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee sex tape, and a sample of Dexta Daps' dancehall hit "Morning Love," an artist long touted as wise beyond her years comes to terms with how much she still doesn't know.

Spoiler

They might still give it a 6.5

 

grwm, current affairs, favourite daughter >>

This album isn't for me, but Clearblue is my favorite track.

i'm feeling a 7.4 from p4k

I'm kinda sure Pitchfork will give BNM to this.
