This being a summer album and not being released early summer is a massive facepalm and a wasted opportunity imo

The standard vinyl is the only physical product still available on her store right now (blue vinyl, deluxe vinyl, signed deluxe vinyl, and 'discless music box' are all sold out).

I haven't posted here cause no post can describe how I feel about this. I'm sooooo ready. Love her.
Pre-ordered the music box and I'm gonna wait to see what kind of merch she'll put out during release week!

Well the vinyl is not gonna be happening unless I get lucky at Target lol; damn she sold out quick (aside from the standard).
The closest she'll be on tour to me is Chicago on April 22. If I get lucky and I have a friend who loves Lorde that would go with me (assuming tickets would still be available by the time I'd be able to buy them--big lol), I might just have to try and make the trip, because I should be able to be off of work that weekend (4/22/22 is a Friday).
As for the album...I claim every track, holy f**k these titles are all so intriguing. Can't wait for August 20!!!

I don’t wanna be a dumbass, but I find it weird that she isn’t doing CDs but IS doing vinyl. Isnt it made from PVC? That’s not easily recyclable.
I want to see her on tour but those tickets are pricey. Not Billie eilish level pricey, but pricey. They’ll sell out in 2 seconds, too. They’re not as much as the resale rina sawayama tix tho 😭

The album is called Solar Power and she's not releasing CDs due to environmental concerns.
Lorde coming for global warming's wig. Greta who?

They’re not as much as the resale rina sawayama tix tho 😭 oof don't remind me I've been looking at Rina tickets for SF and looks like I might need to sell one of my kidneys to afford that + Lorde + Aly & AJ. I think her main reasoning behind the CD vs. vinyl stance is that CD's are discarded (or never necessary to use) after inserting into a computer once, and are probably more likely to end up in landfill. Vinyl requires more commitment and assurance that the buyer would hopefully hold on to the record (or resell it at the very least). Neither vinyl nor CD's are recyclable, with the latter usually encased in packaging that is also difficult to recycle.

Yay save the planet Ella von Greta. The album just better be good. I don't care about the format.

I think the bigger problem is those leftover CDs in the warehouse? I assume there's a policy that after how many months they would automatically go to landfill. It's probably a reality that less Vinyls end up like this (due to its current popularity and its nature as a collector's item).

Already have tickets for Barcelona and will be seeing her on another Euro date as well tbd.

Currently in a queue of 2000+ people for her NYC ticket. Looks like I need to look elsewhere...

^ Was in the same boat in Toronto but she added a second date after I was frozen for 30 minutes with 150 people ahead of me. Got in within minutes and secured 4 tickets. :)

Got tickets to London as well 😍 have got to make it up with a couple shows after missing out on the Melodrama tour. That still stings hard.

Okay, after my failed attempts to get tickets for her NYC and Philly shows, I'm gonna try to grab a ticket in Seattle WA instead (on sale in 30 mins).
Not a bad idea to spend a weekend there visiting a couple friends, having sushi, and crashing the Lorde party, I figure.

I said “fuck it” and decided to get SF tix. $85 was like ~30 cheaper than I was expecting, so I’m now going to see Lorde!! I am going to go broke this year 😭 but I know it’ll be worth it

It's probably a reality that less Vinyls end up like this (due to its current popularity and its nature as a collector's item). Unpurchased CDs from Target, Walmart, Urban Outfitters, Barnes & Noble, etc. are more than likely sent back to the distributor who then send them to be sold by discount retailers like Dollar General, Ollie's Bargain Outlet or Family Dollar, or even online discount retailers like HamiltonBook.com. I see this happen with Blu-ray movies all the time. Chances of them ending up in a landfill so soon after release would be because the person that bought it literally threw it in the trash.

Tardy for the party, was outta town and missed all of this. Vinyl is no more green than CDs. This push in the music industry to an inferior (in terms of sound quality) and more expensive physical product is infuriating. I'm all about a vinyl resurgence if it helps keep physical product alive, but not at the expense of CDs. She could have just done a webstore exclusive limited CD run like Doja Cat is doing with Planet Her.
