Pure Heroine - maturing, sorting your emotions, finding your people, making your voice heard, leaving the easy times behind and entering a new world Melodrama - absolute peak ecstasy, powerful emotions, dancing and drinking, being in love and ultimately the crash of it all and the inevitable emotional breakdown Solar Power - recovering from your experiences, coming to terms with your emotions, finding what is really important in your life and reflecting on your own journey and the world around you And I feel like that really fits the time slots you just defined.

Solar Power shows the evolution in the artistry of Lorde, and its sad critics are giving it bad or mixed reviews, comparing it to Melodrama. This album was incredible Edit: Me after a month. Solar Power just doesn't have the hits, as some songs are quite forgivable. Songs like fallen fruit however, are one of the best songs I have ever heard. I still stand by my original stance, the album was done wrong by critics. JUSTICE got a higher pitchfork score than Solar Power 😭😭

Agree. If another indie artist made Solar Power they probably give it 90+ but it’s lorde who made 2 spectacular album so they r giving 40 wtf. Solar Power is also spectacular-most spectacular for me. It’s just different but its still so good. It will grow on u in every listen. Also its perfect while u are walking through the beach, watching perfect sunsets-realizing you chose the right path and you are now in a new state of mind. Also this album sounds so much better when you are high. Try it, super spectacular. Maybe those critics listen to the album with depression. That’s why.

A lot of people say this is a happy album but… I’m not getting that read. Sure yeah, there’s more outward happiness, and the outlook of the album is generally more positive and striving for healing than Melodrama but there is still SO much pain in this album. The biggest difference between this album and how it handles pain to that of Melodrama, is that it seems much more emotionally mature and more interested in healing while Melodrama was all about letting yourself feel the pain no matter how intense the emotion. Idk a bunch of thoughts on how mixed the emotions are on this album, it’s not completely happy but it’s not so utterly destructive emotionally.

There are so many growers on this album that you have to listen to it multiple times to get into it and notice all the interesting production choices and lyrical references.

[@lucascruz7298]

[@user-vp1ql4hv5b]

I am a Lana del Rey fan and this has SUCH LANA VIBES I LOVE IT IT'S THE KIND OF ALBUM YOU LAY DOWN TO LISTEN TO WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED AND IT GIVES YOU CHILLS ON ALL YOUR SKIN

[@muhammadzikri8492]

I mean "Stoned at nail salon // Wild at Heart" lol

[@brendanforbes50]

Finally someone who appreciates this masterpiece

[@notathletic4171]

The Grammy's better pull themselves together, AOTY right here...

[@l.ricardocv]

I hate the fact that has many bad reviews

[@muhammadzikri8492]

Delusion

[@Alyzvettema]

It’s so good, but billlie or Olivia are gonna get AOTY. They have a massive fan base

[@notathletic4171]

@@Alyzvettema yeah, they robbed melodrama too, didn't they?

[@l.ricardocv]

@@notathletic4171 mmm no, was Bruno Mars

[@ethancornell2087]

I feel adrenaline on some mystical songs, its a cohesive experience, which continues with some bops and a masterful ending. after like 60 listens.

[@charliep3626]

not me crying to big star over my dead cat hhhhh thank you so much caitlin, i loved this

[@johnnytsunami420]

What other music reaction channel is serving us this much professionalism in editing and raw reactions?? Lorde lovers stan

[@valeriacervantesjj]

I love ur reaction of The Path

[@micronicheinternetcelebrit7512]

Love how you feel the music. Liderally me when no ones watching. I just bought the vinyl today and was surprised. Mood Ring is like completely different mixed and you can hear Jack on Dominos (similar to the Roof Live performance - I was so glad about that) and in the ending on oceanic feeling.

[@fernando2917]

My favourite tracks: The path Secrets from a girl The man with the axe Mood ring Oceanic feeling

[@SeeYaLove-lh3db]

I love this album, I haven't been able to listen to anything else since, it's creeping into my head in my sleep I woke up at 1am with big star playing in mind so I woke up and listened to it again, this is one of those albums I'm gonna love forever

[@whosfy]

YESSS MY FAV REACTION CHANNEL UPLOADED

[@caitlinmariereacts]

[@fernando2917]

The path and mood ring are definitely my top 2

[@notshawnorsean]

miss lorde's pen game is UNMATCHED.

[@anthonyfritz901]

deluxe edition hits too

[@caleidohend1940]

caitlin is the only one who actually reviewed this album while reading the meaning of each track. Everyone else just listened to the Lp and talked shit about it claiming to be in lorde head. I didn't know some people were omniscent.

[@dimimxd753]

ngl, i actually waited for you to post the video of your reaction to solar power, caitlin, before i go and listen to the album myself :) love your vibes soo much🌞💖

[@piesause1376]

yep. she enhance every album.

[@jasaga]

Great reaction. I want more. Anything. But I must say that anyone who doesn't get the beauty of this album is someone who needs to learn how to love better. When you know love, you will never ever be able to think of Solar Power as anything but love's gift. Thank you Caitlin Marie. You not only get it but you share it.

[@mashupotato_]

I hate the idea that Lorde has probably read P*fork's insulting reviews. I wish she knew how much this album means to me and a lot of people.

[@PYC334]

when is Pitchfork ever nice to artists? they are so incredibly rude in every single goddamn review, just- who hurt them?

[@ok-tk4dw]

WE need L4 and your reaction

[@papaya3642]

"im so calm and happy" aw i love you and ur candle and ur coffee and you! so much! u make me sooo happy and ur what I want to be...i need some happiness and calmness

[@Annatje121]

SO TRUE BESTIE! I just DON'T GET THE MIXED REVIEWS like i get that it is not everyone's cup of tea on first listen, it is indeed a grower, but this album is SO well put together, cohesive, and the storytelling and production are literally CHEF'S KISS!!!!!! Every time you listen to it you hear something new. It has important messages, nostalgia, happiness, it has IT ALL. I love it so much, this is art

[@micadefries2606]

I love how Lana and Lorde can peacefully coexist.

[@abby2162]

I really liked the album I feel like being in the same age category I can relate to a lot of it and feel the vibe of it … it kind of made me emotional too

[@AdriKern]

I gotta say ive listened to the album a hundred times boy now but i was laughing and crying with you the whole time, i feel so seen omg

[@JoyceDivisions]
