Without the quote of her saying it is satirical, I'm honestly curious, how is this "obvious satire"?

It is a "satirical" song that sounds completely and totally earnest, lol If the entire aesthetic around the album line up perfectly with this song and the other songs released didn't sound pretty much exactly like this song, the satirical aspect might play a bit better

Not only is this song very lame but Lorde comes off really poorly here and horribly out of touch. Are people supposed to be able to identify with this incredibly dumb shit?

"Just wait until the summer when they let me out the house, bitch" Maybe should have changed that line, lol

Probably largely because of his work with fun. and Bleachers

I get the feeling that Chris Stapleton would love to make some pretty fucking weird shit but he's too popular in the country space to be allowed to do so. This is pretty cool.

Alternate take: this song is actually kinda shitty

There's like two songs that are kind of thrashy!

I wouldn't say Metallica were "well past" their prime touring on the Black Album. Maybe "shortly after", lol

Hetfield's lyrics have never been anything particularly special, but they generally fit a Metallica song. When you strip all the other elements out of the song that make it a Metallica song, yeah, you're gonna get some clunky sounding lyrics

I'm not a big Moby hater or a big Moby lover, but I thought he came off poorly from his comments in the documentary. Mostly about his silly idealization of the original Woodstock. I get his point about it being the "most idyllic" gathering of 500,000 people in human history or whatever (which is probably still a questionable statement) but he goes on and one about how he hated the lineup, he knew the vibes would be off, or whatever else. Why not just, you know, pull out of it? Agreed with the rest of your post here. John Scher is a fucking moron.

Travis Barker is to rappers as Jack Antonoff is to white female pop artists

Well she has certainly come along way from this gem of a lyric from her 2015 song "Colors": You were red and you liked me 'cause I was blue But you touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky And you decided purple just wasn't for you

Yeah, for a bunch of people who wanted nothing more than to get Trump out of office (I was in that boat too), it is really weird how much they still love to talk about him.

The irony of him complaining about diving while also being a massive Argentina fan is pretty hilarious

Interesting, though I'm not convinced by their apparent effort to draw a straight line from Woodstock '99 to Trump

I think we will look back on that early 2010's period as a minor golden age in hip-hop. Even guys who we think of almost as jokes today were releasing stellar mixtapes that became part of the zeitgeist, notably Wiz Khalifa's Kush & Orange Juice, which was MASSIVE when I was in college.

Section.80 reminds me of being in college and finding out about Kendrick for the first time and being onto him before GKMC sent him into the stratosphere the following year. A lot of the early reactions to him from people who weren't big time hip-hop fans were about how weird his voice was. Was fun to see those opinions change so quickly as he ascended. Section.80 still has some of my all time favorite Kendrick tracks in "ADHD", "Rigamortus" and "HiiiPower"

He sucks and has sucked for a long time. I don't understand his appeal at all.

I'm sure he'll find his way in there somehow. I think it is a music industry requirement for white female pop stars to work with him on at least one song per album.

So so good from front to back. Agree with others that I think this is probably his best album yet.

That Miley Cyrus cover of "Nothing Else Matters" is unnecessary, overstuffed and has a ridiculous music video. I love it.

This is an incredible lineup. Glad to see OT Genasis is still around too. I saw him at a festival back when CoCo was big and he was a ton of fun. Had this whole section where he sang a Taylor Swift song lmao

The moment in which the drums come in on "Pyramid Song" is one of the my favorite things in music period
