This isn't Kate Bush ? Snap, I'd better go back to sleep then.

Album Rating: 5.0

it's def a slightly teenage art pop record if that's a thing, although it steps into young adulthood way more often than her debut did



it just aches at its core, and the emotion - real or manufactured - is tangible and relatable to go along with arrangements that are way more diverse



brb gunna review this now prepare for some hyperbole

Album Rating: 1.5

She uses her voice well in places, all the ingredients are there...but most of her song writing, for me, on the evidence here, is still pap. The album isn't really for me but maybe she'll release one down the line.

Album Rating: 5.0

Yeah can never fault someone for personal taste, but I'd argue her songwriting here shatters that of what existed on P.H.

Album Rating: 4.5

I.... agree with Sowing on this record. What is happening.



(I actually think this is probably this and Damn. are the only two "big" albums who lived up to the hype in 2017 so far)

"this is just hit making radio bs at its core"

she's clearly in a league separate from demi lovato, selena gomez, and all the other female popstars she's been bundled with to fit a narrative. this is closer to frank ocean's blonde with its reverence for the album format than any radio hitmaking machine

this isn't even making waves on the charts, green light barely scrapped the top 20 before falling off. there's an obvious attempt here to make a critically appraised record rather than focusing on sales

Album Rating: 4.0

yeah gotta disagree that this is an attempt to make hits

Album Rating: 4.5

^ agreed. This is obviously a pop album, arguably even more commercial than P.H. but I don't think "making as many radio friendly hits as possible" was the prime mover behind the writing of these songs.

I might bump this down D:

It's just a good pop record, not even close to Pure Heroine

You misspelled "borderline classic" :-(

i'm thinking of bumping to a 5, just need some sowing gushing to encourage me

Album Rating: 4.5

D-D-Dynamite would be a great single though, I'm really surprised she decided to release stuff like liability (the song is good but doesn't strike me as very radio friendly at all) as a single over Dynamite.

Album Rating: 5.0

it's coming very soon



just working on my conclusion

Album Rating: 4.5

She was planning on releasing Homemade Dynamite as the 2nd single but it was the week of the Manchester attack so inappropriate timing. Takes some nerve to title a song like that in the world of 2017!

Also Liability was never a single, just a track she released before performing on SNL (Perfect Places was the 2nd). She confirmed that HD will eventually be a single.

Album Rating: 4.5

ah thx for clearing that up for me. I guess it would have been kinda insensitive.

Album Rating: 5.0

This is def better than PH.



Her Jimmy Fallon performance of "Perfect Places" is great, as well. She's gotten whole a lot more confident.

Album Rating: 4.5

Hard Feelings/Loveless is really great and the lyrics are pretty gut wrenching.

Album Rating: 5.0

And I don't care how KB the singing on "Writer in the Dark" is, it works as a super teary melodramatic ballad.

'this is just hit making radio bs at its core - she has a long way to go before moving beyond that'

If she wanted "hit making radio bs" she wouldn't of billed Antoff as her producer lol.
