Melodrama
Lorde

Man, I'm disappointed. I only knew Green Light off this album and always quite liked it. I thought I would really enjoy this album. It was... okay? Pop doesn't have to be fun, and it doesn't even need to be very original. But it needs some ideas. It's like... Whenever there's a clever line in one of these songs, I'd find myself impressed and paying attention. And then immediately that line is just repeated as an incredibly weak hook. The passes/champagne glasses rhyme is cute! Don't make it your entire song!!! Come up with a chorus!!! Stop running out of ideas so fast!!! Fuck!!! And like, I still halfway enjoyed it. There have been worse albums, so it's going down the middle.
