This album has some standout songs (Pawn Shop Blues) the aesthetic is also cool but the production is well, dated to be kind.

Casual reinvention of pop

Since release I have refused to listen to this album by revisiting it and I was shocked to realise it was worse than I thought it is truly awful. A handful of tracks are half decent but the majority is total slop

Such a necessary Deluxe.

A key development in the invention of modern pop

This album truly raised me.

Non-Stop Remix is amazing

First Listen and this truly is the ray of light of the 2020s.

The perfection of all genres explored in all her projects prior to this.

Madonnas Daughter.

Everything about the deluxe is better the lack of Dance for you is tragic. Still by favourite Beyonce record

Low key overrated. Everyone acts like this was Lorde’s masterpiece, I’d argue it’s one of her weakest, if not her weakest album.

The time Lana invented pop

Honeymoon is alive and breathing.

Lana truly proved herself as a dynamic artist form a Americana pop album to a sullen album focused around troubled relationships.

I still haven't fully understood this album after 2 years. But that doesn't take away form this album its a masterpiece.

Jon Batiste Interlude is fucking amazing.

"You act like a kid even though you stand six foot two"

This will forever stand out as Lana's most critically successful album and there is a reason this album truly transports you to another world.

Folklore’s better sister.

Because of its implications to modern pop this album isn't just a album its a groundwork for the modern pop star.

I threw myself into a volcano.
I drank the blood and drank the wine.
I sat alone and begged and bent at the waist for God.
I crossed myself and thought I saw the devil.
I grew thickened skin on my feet.
I bathed in bleach and plugged my menses with pages from the Holy Book.
But still inside me coiled deep was the need to know.
Are you cheating? Are you cheating on me?
