I'm not sure I entirely agree with this, certainly at least in as much as Sucker Punch feels a lot less manufactured to me than I'd expect from those comparisons. Perhaps that's simply because I seem to like it more than most of us do, though.

I should clarify that I'm not making any judgement on talent versus those late 90s artists. Certainly there is many times only a tangential relationship between talent and popularity/success. I don't know if Sigrid is also the songwriter for her music like Lorde or Swift. It's not something I usually pay attention to, though people usually let you know when the pop singer is also the songwriter.

I guess my feeling is that Sucker Punch isn't anything..."special". I'm not super big on Lorde but I know she's held in high regard for that general time of pop. I think Future Nostalgia is likely to stand the test of time and be regarded as a classic of the era. I could totally be wrong about Sigrid/Sucker Punch though! Who knows!

I hate that this all makes me sound much more negative than my feelings on the album. I've not listened to next week's album yet but I'm skeptical that I will enjoy it more than this one.
