Nov 27, 2013With regret, after so many listens to try to like the courageous effort by Lorde, for a new sound, I have to say, that for me, it was not moving, from any point of view I so wanted to like it, but I'm so sorry to say, I did not.

Jul 21, 2015Dragged out, repetitive, self important, and void for the most part of any musical finesse. It does however have one or two catchy tunes, but it doesn't make the whole album worth purchasing.

Nov 25, 2013Lorde is just an amazing Singer to have just 17 years old. Her style and music is so good, fresh, I love it. This album takes you to amazing sounds. 'Tennis Court' and 'Team' are one of the the best tracks, take you to new places and rythms.

Sep 7, 2015This album is pure heroine but a little bit boring too. I think that after hearing 4 or 5 songs of the album I'll feel exhausted and bored.I like Royals and Tenis Court but i think that this album is overrated.

Feb 9, 2015Lorde's music is really boring. I heard Royals at the cottage on the radio and it felt like forever. Royals was the most boring song I ever heard! Lorde has bad music and avoid it unless you want to fall asleep. Still not as bad as Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey, or Rebecca Black though.

Oct 3, 2013After listening to The Love Club EP i was expecting something awesome from Pure Heroine, what I got was a watered down Lorde ready for a broader audience, lacking the emotion that caught my attention at first. Its not a bad album, but sits besides a Lana Del Rey or Rihanna album, nothing more than a major label trying to maximize the profit from the hype around Lorde.

Feb 4, 2014It’s the music here, not the sharp-toothed lyricism, which sets the record so far apart from the rest of the field.

Q MagazineNov 22, 2013It isn't perfect but it adds up to an intimidatingly assured opening shot from a major new talent. [Dec 2013, p.108]

Nov 1, 2013Whilst Lorde’s world creates its own incredibly distinctive atmosphere, it feels accessible and open to maturing.
