They're taking way too long to promote Perfect Places. Really, I get the "this is not an album for radio, yadda yadda", but you can't tell me they've truly done their best effort to promote this gem of an album.

This album.... I haven't been this obsessed with a. album since Lemonade. It's such a cohesive piece of work, and the first album I've listened to in a while that I've been able to fully play on repeat. This and Pure Heroine are the strongest 1-2 punch for me since Florence and the Machine's first two albums. Every song is fantastic, but I'm surprised/disappointed "Writer in the Dark" isn't getting more attention. I had no idea Lorde could slay an emotional ballad like that, it's a really beautiful song that manages to be genuine but also catchy, it makes me think of "Someone Like You" in that regard. Also, it sounds like a 21st-century version of "The Woman's Work" by Kate Bush and I mean that in the absolute best way possible.

This album is so cohesive and interesting. I love it more than Pure Heroine. Oddly I keep switching between this and the new TLC album. Both are very strong efforts, unlike a certain purposeful pop album that is good but lacking

She fluked a bunch of success with her first (moderately decent album), then fluked a flop with her second (critically acclaimed) album.
i dont get the music industry sometimes...
Edit: I view it as a flop given her extremely high profile before the album, and the album dropping out of the top10 albums in its second week, in addition to charting 0 songs on the h100 that weren't already charting.

Yeah, ditto. It was on repeat on my most recent roadtrip. It really is flawless, beginning to end.
And I tried to listen to her debut album AGAIN and I still can't get through it. I gotta stop trying to make fetch happen, this album is just far superior. So much growth.

I burnt out on this album but it's still in the top 5 of the year so far. I played it the hell out in June. Then played SZA out. Then played Lana out. Now I'm back to this. They pretty much OWN my summer.

Vevo X Lorde Filmed at Electric Lady Sound Studios in New Yorkβs West Village, the mid-August session found Lorde moving through key songs from βMelodrama,β providing each with the proper temperament for the occasion.
"Hard Feelings/Loveless"
"Supercut"
"The Louvre"
"Writer In The Dark"
"Sober"
"Homemade Dynamite"

This is my album of the year. I so hope she gets some Grammy love. I know that's not always what it's about, but she deserves recognition for this.

There's a rumour that the music video of "Homemade Dynamite" is coming soon because of the asterisks on the Instagram post below. The last ***** may imply a remix instead, which couldn't be wrong at all because Lorde's VMAs performance was announced as a remix, although she replied on Twitter that she didn't have any idea why it was said that. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYW-EhcnmYx

I mean, before her performance, there was an announcement that she was going to perform a remix of "Homemade Dynamite", which didn't happen. Because of that announcement, some people are saying that it's a remix (instead of a video) that it's coming soon, despite Lorde mentioned in a deleted tweet that she didn't have any idea why the presenter said that she was going to perform a remix of the song.

It also sounded like the volume of the lead vocal part of the track was lower than it was supposed to be. I assumed that this was maybe the TV track/performance track with a guide vocal that she would have sung over if she was actually singing.
