lorde said in multiple interviews that sober took the longest to complete & that it went through so many revisions & refinements & also it's her favourite on the album & she said sober actually inspired the rest of the album & imo you can definitely tell

[@DakMan3]

Absolutley criminal cutting out the best part of Writer In The Dark

[@Matthew-ij3zm]

I don't know if it's because of the Patreon but this time he paused (and cut) in all the wrong moments. He completely rushed through Liability for instance, we didn't even get to listen to a little bit of the chorus.

[@Kimteach2011]

Melodrama will go down as one of the greatest album of the 21st century. It's both traditional and futuristic with amazing poetry. She practically saved music in 2017 with this record.

[@r1ceful]

bruh 2017 was great for music

I don't this album had the significance that it could have had to be honest, not one of the best of the 21st century at all, great songs though

The way David Bowie called her the future of music. Her ability to get into your head and paint a picture of what she’s emotionally singing is BEYOND. Everything is technical with her she’s epic and nothing short of boring. Her melodies are futuristic I don’t get how she does it!!!!!

Jon you NEED to react to SAWAYAMA by Rina Sawayama, it's the best pop album of the year and has a lot of genre-mixing including 2000's pop, nu jack swing, metal/rock, disco, you would love it

[@torridweiss]

Since you're listening to a lot of pop, you should definitely check out Rina Sawayama!!

Lots of people hail her as the “female Frank Ocean”, and while I don’t wholly agree with that, such a comparison is indicative of just how phenomenal this girl is

[@luissanchezrubio3882]

[@thomashavard-morgan8181]

In case no one mentioned it, the album is based loosely around the concept of it all occurring at one house party, which is the narrative thread that links and drives it, with the songs acting as stories within it and part of a broader picture.

[@harsimransingh2108]

Listen to her version of 'Everybody wants to rule the world'.

[@pt1427]

I’m a year younger than Lorde, and each of her albums connects with exactly where I am emotionally when it comes out in a way no other artist does. Coming back to her records helps me remember who I was and tells me how I’ve changed.

[@agaleas76]

It’s really important for people to understand this!!!! Everyone around her age will connect to this record and her music in general on a spiritual level unlike any other. I’ll vividly remember Fall of 2017 SOLELY because of this record

[@danielmoran7051]

This is exactly it. I was a teenager when she was. I was in a breakup when she was. There’s something we all share with her at this age and it’s so exciting to see what she releases next, because it will undoubtedly mirror our lives lol

The cutting of this video was a bit weird. I feel like you skipped some important parts e.g. the chorus of Writer in the Dark. Don't wanna come across too negative though, your album reactions are really great, it's just this once that the editing seemed weird to me.

[@Matthew-ij3zm]

It was extremely weird, and he didn't seem to care about the production but that's another thing.

[@bencraig9479]

It’s probably something to do with copyright because he usually tries to put in the most important moments if he can. Copyright probably stopped that in this

[@myobsessionisawkward]

Totally agree. This was disappointing

[@castawayonthemoon]

Maybe because he wants us to pay for the whole reaction

Actually start with vroom vroom ep, can't miss that out! John loves the 2000s UK garage sound and it has elements of that on vroom vroom ep

Nah, Pop2 first...

[@aztre]

@@daryl7531 I think Charli is what you're talking about. With that album, she perfected her sound. She knew what she was doing while with Pop 2, she was still testing the waters, kinda almost unsure. Now with How I'm Feeling Now, she just keeps getting better.

[@zeetuslupeedus]

Jon, I really really hope you'll consider reacting to Lemonade by Beyoncé. I think you'd find it a really interesting project. There are so many genres on that album. Its so personal as well. She also featured The Weeknd and Jack White on a couple of tracks!! It'd be cool to see you do more women in your reactions (particularly of color.) Fingers crossed xo

I've been waiting to see what you thought of this record - thanks for putting this up! As you mentioned him, you should probably check out Jack Antonoff/The Bleachers' stuff - his song, "Don't take the money" is a good start. And as others have said, Rina Sawayama's album is a bop. Kind of shooting for 2000s throwback in some of the songs.

[@owenmarlow5008]

I would love to hear you react to the album Skin by Flume. It’s imo the most interesting and best produced electronic/pop/hip hop album of the past decade or so. Flumes newest mixtape is also absolutely incredible but also really weird and a little inaccessible, it does have a dope Slowthai feature though.

[@n_5398]

Now that I’ve listened to Solar Power a few times, it’s crazy to see how different it is from Melodrama. I still think Melodrama is superior in every aspect, but Solar Power has some great songs. Lorde is amazing.
