Ghost

Pure excellence

Amazing song, classic Sugababes sound

This is such a breezy listen, it does not bother me at all to go through the entirety of it Day standouts: Versailles, Good Fine Alright, Just A Little Walk on the Moon Night standouts: Never Let A Good Thing Die, Amalfi Coast, Near or Far

The production and the instrumentation on Redlights are wonderful

The album really picks up from the bad one on, it's one little gem after another. BUT as a whole it's kind of a nondescript album, there's an ongoing vibe of dark electropop flourishes, but it all feels a bit minor in the scope of her discography. Not sure what she was going for exactly like, for example, if i could i would is the blandest song she's ever made? And it's right at the start??? There are some odd choices here. But some of y'all are dramatic, it's still a good album.

Good album, but Something Beautiful remains her opus. Different Religion and REDLIGHTS are fantastic though, the album should have followed those sounds more.

C'mon, we need to lash her a little

Destiny is finally home, we cheered

Brilliant album. Malka Moma, Paradise Rains, Glowing Guts, the ending of Favorite, Nova... all give me goosebumps

Hard to settle on just one, but it's between these

Such a mixed bag of an album. She really fooled me with the gorgeous artwork and Black Prada Dress The main problem for me is that many of these tracks just don't have that Ellie DNA in the songwriting that usually infuses her work. Even in less peculiar albums like Higher Than Heaven, an Ellie Goulding melody is always present and recognizable. Here, not so much. Always Think of You and Misremember You should be slam-dunks for her since the acoustic sound is a well-known part of her identity, but they both sound like different degrees of Taylor Swift, melodically. The former especially really reminds me of Wildest Dreams They are not bad songs, not at all, but so far from Ellie. But the latter's lyrics are really affecting at least. For Your Entertainment flows well, but it does sound like a Damiano David song nnn so weird! Loser is straight up trash, so disappointing. She should be above this type of TikTokified fake R&B sound. What's actually good: the singles, Jealousy, Nobody Dances and, above all, I Know Too Much! I know she's capable of interesting acoustic leaning songs that have affecting melodies and captivating fingerpicking. I recognize Ellie in these songs, and at the same time they feel like a progression/reiteration of various types of sounds she has explored before. Destiny remains superior to all of these songs though, it goes without saying

Wherever there's GOATie Waresus, I am there too

Another top 10 full of singles? Zzz

This is so boring. Somehow, her debut remains her most accomplished album :(

He just sounds so effortless with this sound, I loved every song

Omg I had forgotten about this somehow, one album to go and I'm readyyyy The thought of going through a Jessica Simpson album yayyyy

Day absolutely washes Night so far On Wires > After All > Don't Leave Me on the Dancefloor > Motivation

god is real

So this is not gonna be the more experimental album she talked about last year? :'(

I agree. First time I heard Reputation I instantly thought of her during the chorus.

Masterpiece. Lost Boys is so misleading

In the last few years, I'd probably say Sour by Olivia, Imaginal Disk by Magdalena Bay, U by underscores and Revengeseekerz by Jane Remover. Oh and Motomami. Unlistenable to me for different reasons. To a lesser extent, I found these to be super underwhelming and basic despite the acclaim they've gotten: you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, the Chappell album and The Record by boygenius.

Oh this excellent run... Threw a vote to Happy

What in the Get Together?

Wait do we have to rate the Ciara interludes?
