I really liked Mariner's Apartment Complex, but I think it was mostly because it had the same chord structure as the Brokeback Mountain theme, and now the two songs have become merged in my head.

i still think venice bitch is too long as a song, but i think "they're all the same song" is not really a fair complaint. I get that they all have a similar vibe but gently caress it i love you is very different from Doin' Time which is different from hope is a wonderful thing which is different from Love Song. I've loved Lana since Born to Die though, so i might just be predisposed to liking her music. I don't think NFR is better than Ultraviolence or Born to Die but it's probably the best since Ultraviolence, or maybe on par with Honeymoon. Honestly, if you aren't the biggest fan of this album you might give Born to Die a try. Most people just know Video Games and Blue Jeans but the rest of the album is infused with hip-hop in a way that very clearly inspired artists like Lorde and Billie Eilish, even if that element of LDR's music has kinda gone to the wayside as of late. I like Ultraviolence better because I think it's the best expression of what she is going for but if you don't like this new album I don't think you're gonna magically change your mind listening to "Norman loving Rockwell, but better"

I mean, maybe, but Doin' Time is a bad example since it's a cover. Was surprised Cinnamon Girl wasn't also a cover...

I don't mind an album of songs that kinda blend with one another, especially for someone with a very specific vibe like LDR's. I do, however, think it's overgeneralizing to say Ultraviolence and Born to Die sound the same song-to-song. There's a lot of variety and really stunning poo poo in there. It's cohesive, but not same-y.

The only one that is kinda one note is Honeymoon, but it’s one note in a hypnotic way and it starts to hum by the time you get to Freak.

Honeymoon aged really well on me, I think it's my favorite second album of hers. She's said that was her "jazz album". I don't like Lana's shift into the early-mid 70s alt and a lot of these songs have been teased in snippets or out in full form (Next American Record leaked before Lust for Life the single). She said she's already writing her next album and it'll be released next year. Wish Antonoff kept the more trappier version of Cinnamon but it's still my favourite so far. I think it'll fall well into her discography but got overhyped by the title alone. I definitely like it more than Lust For Life. New Charli soon, really being spoiled by a lot of my pop favorites. I think Kim Petras's album was the strongest out of my favorites so far this year.

Not really liking it as much as the others but I have this bias against HAIM after all that loving hype they got when they came onto the scene. I'd put this around the Blame It On Your Love Lizzo version which wasn't my deal after the slower one felt a bit truer. Gone and Cross You Out are the two standouts so far. Surprised too because it's an AG Cook one and I usually like his work with Charli.

I've seen her in a smaller venue and it was a loving party, and I've seen her in a large venue where she seemed bored. I second she is far better in smaller settings. Much more intimate and wild. E》 When she co headlined with Bleachers at bigger venues a few years back, she canceled the rest of her part of the tour a few days later. She looked visual unhappy playing in large places.

Red Velvet released their latest comeback a week ago, it's more conservative than Zimzalabim, but still lots of fun (I think). It still has that "all over the place" feel to it, but the high production value keeps it all together, also the bass and drums are funky at times I like it. Still, it's kpop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHS9E6JFja8

i think it's really hilarious that after Lil Nas X finally dropped down from number one pretty much every song that it kept from getting there is getting its one week in the sun. First it was Bad Guy, then Señorita, now Truth Hurts truly Lil Nas X is a gracious and benevolent ruler of Pop Music

Justin Bieber) tacked onto it despite the songs being different. I kinda understand why this is (and obviously LNX and Billie have used it to their advantage, and Lizzo has now followed suit) but it is still really weird.

I thought it was an Ignition situation where only the remix got any play It wasn't anywhere near as big a hit but yeah they were both released as singles and counted as the same song for Billboard purposes. Wiki says that directly led to a change in Billboard rules so that the two Ain't It Funny releases counted as different songs when they put out the remix the next year.

I have Born to Die live sets, consider Ultraviolence an all time top album and smoked pot during a meteor shower with Honeymoon but for the life of me I cannot understand where this level of praise for NFR is coming from. People calling it the best album of the year? A masterpiece? It sounds good and fine, a more polished version of the back end of Lust for Life sound, but really just more of the same. Maybe the problem is that I keep wanting bangers and songs that stick with me rather than just an enjoyable overall project. Just trying to find the password to let me hear what everyone else is hearing I suppose. ^burtle fucked around with this message at 16:07 on Sep 4, 2019 |

It sounds good and fine, a more polished version of the back end of Lust for Life sound, but really just more of the same. i'm from the southern hemi so i don't SAY THIS LIGHTLY but lorde isn't as good at hasley at what they both do. which is that chill-glo goblin rasp pop. maybe lorde popularized it. tennis court is still on my rotation and royals was huge. but i think all her massive attention did her in a bit. especially with bowie saying shes the future or something like that. like poo poo. so she's safe and stilted with her music. hasley has so much filler but at least she's prolific so you'll get some pop gems. hasley appreciation thread time (at least for me, don't judge plz its my guilty pleasure): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-eYbUVZedY I first heard New Americana when fitting a suit for a friend's wedding. I really liked it: It sounded super produced and focus grouped with a new voice. It felt sentimental and cheesy and dorky without shame. I really liked how it didn't try to be too coy or irony poisoned. "So we hold it down - till summer starts" meaningless astrology sugar. New Americana was the song Lorde was too cool to make. It was like somebody took her vocal fry and was like "you know what, your songs aren't basic enough" and I loved it. "high on legal marijuana" sounds trite but I like how vapid it sounds. Its like being raised by hippies. how do you rebel now? I have no idea, i was raised in a small conservative christian sect, just listening to pop music was rebelling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT2_F-1esPk Frigging chainsmokers. I'm sorry, na I'm not. The Chainsmokers - Closer ft. Halsey So bad and so good. Its just hitting the right beats. "Play that Blink 182 song / that we beat to death in Tucson"" oh lordy! And the melody is like, poisonously sweet. Again, lorde would be way too cool to be on this song. Lorde has been charged to stand alone. Apart. Like Bowie. Ugh. Like New Americana, on her first album Badlands comes Gasoline https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRHNi3QfFlE. Gasoline has the quiet spill before the boom boom imagine-dragons drop. Again, its a bunch of sentiments which clash and contradict and really just cool together "are you deranged like me?" "pointing fingers cause you'll never take the blame like me?". I do like the refrain "All the people say / you can't wake up / this is not a dream / you are part of the machine / you are not a human being" cause hasley is 100% stuck in some record company hellscape world. I like this song for the same reason I like Nightmare. They both feel like Hasley is raging against the world. Lorde rages against individuals a la a Taylor Swift. This is a generalization. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56WBK4ZK_cw Eastside with benny blanco and Khalid is also another Hasley banger I love. Its got this tch tch urgency to the beat which when coupled with the vague 1979 surburbian nostalgia makes me feel all fizzy and bittersweet. its lemon lime and bitters. man i love pop sometimes. its also cool because the music video is dope. its got their real names and dumb embarrassing memories of their youths. it feels very confessional and sincere. I also like - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_dqfcvTZik - Nightmare because it feels like EMA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjSOcoDJYQg got real top 40 super fast. It also feels like if Lorde did this song she'd extend it in an art pop direction and it'd be fine but. Halsey just sounds shes having fun with it and keeps bouncing through the lines with these little explosions. Like evanescence! This song is always on my running playlist. I know Hasley has some bigger hits I haven't mentioned and thats because I haven't really listened to them. I'm sure they are great. I'm sure most people find them palatable and middle of the road pop. Without Me looks like one of these. I don't hate Lorde's music. I just wish she'd start hooning stuff out and not be so inhibited by having to be shezus/the one. I don't know. Here is Lorde being adorable singing Paul Simon (now I got write a splurge post about PS oh my goodness): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J9g-O-06JU Thoughts on the new Billie Eilish? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PZsSWwc9xA its about climate change. I like the little spokenish bit questioning if men are worth even saving. I wonder how climate change will propegate within top 40 pop music in the coming decade. it will be interesting to see how it appears.

Melanie Martinez's 2nd album K-12 is finally out. It's not giving me as strong a first impression as Cry Baby did, but it's still cool. This is more stuff similar to Cry Baby, and I've loved that album for years, so I'm not complaining. It's got atmosphere I dig.

Yeah, I get the same impression. Also I'm surprised Lana's "sad girl on nostalgia trip"-shpiel is still going strong. It was pretty kitsch the first time around, now I'm just getting tired of Instagram-filter videos and 70s makeup.
