- I figured it was fairly obvious since I alluded positively to it earlier, it was guessed and i didn't deny it, and it was probably the most highly lauded album of the year besides DAMN. But hey, I'm happy to surprise!
- Melodrama is arguably more "pop" than Pure Heroine, but only in the sense that Pure Heroine completely reshaped the pop landscape in its image. And while Melodrama is considerably more ambitious, creative and artistic, it still lives within that landscape.
- Antonoff might have co-writer's credit on Melodrama from a production standpoint, and i'm sure he contributed a lot, but to undercut Lorde's contribution, even subtextually, is daft. Antonoff had his hands on everything this year, and none of it sounds like Melodrama. It's as personal, distinct and single-minded a pop album as anything this century, and that's not because of Jack Antonoff.
