You can only say acclaimed now because the album dropped. A week ago it would be a laughable statement considering Green Light Flopped while at least Beliver is doing well on the charts and radio. Of course the Imagine Dragons album won't be 80+ metacritic, but it will be a decent album, probably 65+.

You may say that but I've been saying Melodrama would be "our generation's jagged little pill" since it was announced. Literally said that word for word.

To me it was always obvious it would be acclaimed. Green Light is such a risky pop track down to it's structure. There was no way the album wouldn't be in the same vein.

I honestly didn't follow the thread that much when I was banned, so I probably didn't see your comments, and usually I tend to drown out hype-comments...

Ok the other hand...I still think Green Light is average song at best, and it's song structure is the worst thing about it, and the lyrics are incredibly annoying

waiT Bea Miller came with her material. XFACTOR US Season 2 stays winning with the talent.

"Yes Girl" Bea Miller
her 2016 effort that is slaying me.

Now she is doing experimental pop:

Chapter One: Blue

I forgot to reply to this and say EVERYONE should hear I Can't Breathe because that's the one where I thought 'whew, and introspective talent'

Touch is a SMASH! One of the two songs of theirs I like.

The video on the other hand...

I did a double take watching the video wondering what the producers were thinking with that shaky green screen sky that didn't match the lightning of the video
 
[Verse 3]
Our thing progresses
I call and you come through
Blow all my friendships
To sit in hell with you
But we're the greatest
They'll hang us in the Louvre
Down the back, but who cares—still the Louvre
Okay I know that you are not my type
(still I fall)
I'm just the sucker who let you fill her mind
(but what about love?)
Nothing wrong with it
Supernatural
Just move in close to me, closer, you'll feel it coasting

[Pre-Chorus]
A rush at the beginning
I get caught up, just for a minute
But lover, you're the one to blame
All that you're doing
Can you hear the violence?
Megaphone to my chest
Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom
And make 'em all dance to it

edit: omfg I just listened to Whiteness the song what a fucking BOP

"Insulting" Imagine Dragons because they're straight is the stupidest thing I ever heard, they (especially the singer) are so supportive of the LGBT+ youth and community.
That said, in their last album they have a song called Dancing in the dark. It's pretty bad but at least it reminded me how good is the one by gaga :)

Run run her kiss is a vampire grin.
The moon lights her way while she's howlin' at him.
She looks good but her boyfriend says she's a tramp,
She's a tramp,
She's a vamp,
But she still does her dance.
She's a tramp,
She's a vamp,
But she still kills the dance.

I always imagined a potential music video for this song to feature vampires

God, TFM era was TOO SHORT!

Gurl have you seen the Top Ten and the thread on female pop being dead?
 
In The Lord we trust.

She will save the charts - we just have to wait for Her.

As good as Lorde's album is (cute at best, pure heroine is better), she won't light up the charts with any of those songs I'm afraid.

I could see Perfect Places being the most likely song to chart but after Green Flop flopped, the radio doesn't seem to play ha anymore

I too believe The Lord will save pop music from the current Heteropatriarchy sweeping the charts.

Good thing my fave, Rihanna, has always been a straight darling so she's been inmune to this phenomena, hence why "Love On The brain" is the only lead female solo song to enter Top 5 this year and ANTI is the best selling female album this year as well (even though it came out a year ago whew!)
 
Sign of the Times is honestly amazing like I wanna talk shit but it's so fucking good

Bless Lana Del Rey for getting to appreciate and sometimes even love slower songs
nnnn

So "Wild Thoughts" really is smashing. It would be her next #1 but "Despacito" is TOO big.

You're acting like Cool For The Summer isn't Max Martin's best song this decade and better than every single Selena Gomez song..

Um no. Hands To Myself and Style are Max's best songs this decade. He gives his best to the vocally untalented.
