    "Delirium" is the least-favourite of all my Ellie Goulding albums. Although the songs tend to be of a wispy and distant nature, which is rarely seen in pop culture, this song was already heard in Selena Gomez's "Revival". The songs also seemed to be in a jumble, without any strong chorus/verse/bridge arrangement which pleased my ears.

Although the songs tend to be of a wispy and distant nature, which is rarely seen in pop culture, this song was already heard in Selena Gomez's "Revival". The songs also seemed to be in a jumble, without any strong chorus/verse/bridge arrangement which pleased my ears. Other than "Love Me Like You Do", there wasn't any power present in Ellie's voice, which was a great disappointment as Ellie's vocal strength had began to become a icon.

    However, the music did sound okay, but as I mentioned, sounded a little too much of Selena Gomez's "Revival" album and Taylor Swift's "Wildest Dreams" track, which can be found in her "1989" album. Emotions were present in the songs, which is a great improvement from Ellie's previous albums, which tended to lack emotion. However, the lyrics were not unique and some song lyrics were similar to those found in many other pop albums. This was also a disappointment as "Bright Lights" and "Halcyon Days" by Ellie Goulding featured many interesting and unique lyrics unlike those found in generic, mainstream pop music so commonly heard these days.

    "Delirium", the album title, means "hallucinations and illusions". The wispy, distant sound present in Ellie's third studio album sounded as if Ellie was having hallucinations and illusions, which avoided its score from dropping lower as badly-titled album names are nobody's favourite. This album seemed to be targeted at a more mature level, and thus featured dance songs as well as power ballads, which is an improvement from Ellie's earlier work, which seemed to be lacking of both. "Delirium" also seems to be more complete than "Halcyon Days" or "Lights", featuring many more songs that seemed to tell a story.

    If you enjoyed Selena Gomez's "Good For You", Taylor Swift's "Wildest Dreams" and love songs that bring back a good late '80s feel, Ellie Goulding's "Delirium" is the right album for you.

    Ellie realizó un maravilloso trabajo, evolucionando pero no dejando atrás los maravillosos sonidos de Halcyon y Lights, muchos critican pero no han visto la magnifica evolución en el estilo de Ellie. Este es el mejor album del año aunque muchos se opongan.

    Ellie Goulding's "Delirium" just shows how much he grows emotionally and musically in recent years. By stripping the heavy and gloomy cover of Halcyon diving body and mind in a state of Delirium. Great music and perfect ambiance.

    I see so much hate on musicians trying to be mainstream, saying that they're 'selling out' or 'being unoriginal'. Say whatever you want, but 'Delirium' is quite enjoyable. Yes, it's similar with a lot of pop songs nowadays, but what would you expect if most of the songs in 'Delirium' are produced by the same people who produced a lot of massive hits today?

    When I fist listened "On my mind" I felt like something was wrong with Ellie's new sound. Obviously the one who was wrong it was me.

"Army" and "Lost and found" were other two tracks we can listened before the album was released yesterday. Army is just work of art and Lost and Found is **** amazing.

    When I started to listen Delirium I instantly felt in love with the intro that ethnic, orchestral sound is one of the best I've ever heard. Maybe the only track that shouldn't be in the record is "Around U".

    What to say about "Devotion"? I can't stop listening over and over on repeat. This album breaks totally with Lights' style and follows in the perfect way the rhythm of Halcyon. One of the best recordings of 2015 is Delirium without a doubt

But not everything is lost, there are some beautiful and polished gems on this album that could perfectly fit into one of her two previous records, like; "Lost and Found" or "Intro/Aftertaste". Some songs like "Don't Panic" or "I Do What I Love" could be amazing if it wasn't for the way she sings those songs :( Expand

    While this album is the most commercially friendly that Ellie has put out, it certainly does not mean that it is a bad album. Now, from a personal stand-point, I do find it to be a bit monotonous, in the way that the melodies are all very upbeat and positive - it gets a bit tiring after a while, and especially with such a long album (25 tracks with all bonus tracks included).

Now, from a personal stand-point, I do find it to be a bit monotonous, in the way that the melodies are all very upbeat and positive - it gets a bit tiring after a while, and especially with such a long album (25 tracks with all bonus tracks included). But this album is a good album, but especially so because it shows that Ellie is happy. Should we, her fans, only be happy if she is unhappy and writing songs that display emotions as such? I don't believe that we should limit her creativity in such a way - if she is happy and wants to write songs about being so, then that should be exactly what her focus is. And that is clear to see on this album. While, this album does lack a bit of the strange and uniqueness that her first two were abundant in, it still is a quality album. Sure, is there a whole lot of thinking that needs to happen in order to understand what is going on in the songs? Not really. Does it take a lot of effort to enjoy the music, lyrically that is? Not so much. But it's a fun, dance-pop album that is good for this time of year when people tend to be less happy. Overall, I would say that this album is one that shows Ellie is in a good place, and that's really what matters, isn't it?

    Tracks to pay attention to: Codes, Don't Need Nobody, Army, Lost And Found, Scream It Out, Heal, Two Years Ago

    Hablando del disco, tiene una calidad impresionante, una mezcla de ritmos característica de Ellie haciendo la misma música espectacular, si bien ella ha cambiado su ritmo aquí demuestra su capacidad para incursionar en cualquier ritmo, grán disco aparte de bailable tiene las clásicas canciones folk/indie que son netamente ritmos muy característicos de Goulding.

    Delirium is the third studio album by English powerhouse singer/songwriter Ellie Goulding. Here's a track by track review:

    1. Intro: The haunting production and Ellie's marvelous voice screaming at the end. The way it connects to Aftertaste. The way it perfectly sets the mood for the album. EVerything about this works.

    2. Aftertaste: The loud production at the beginning and Ellie's confidence in the lyrics make this cut a very enjoyable one. It feels like a blend of the Lights and Halcyon sounds. The chorus will be a killer singalong in concert. 9.

    3. Something in the Way you Move: Personally, i really love this cut. It's so different than anything Ellie's done before, yet it captures the soul of what she does perfectly. Its lyrics are particularly dark and nice, and the chorus is infectious. 9.

    4. Keep on Dancin': Perfect song for drivin around and singing along. The production from Ryan Tedder is the usual perfection. Goulding's delivery is sensual and fun. 8.

    5.On My Mind: the lead single off this delirium project, was a great introduction of what to be expected. Great song, that's instantly catchy and fun, especially with that amazing guitar riff. I dare you not to sing along to that hook! 8.5.

    6. Around U: "So tired of these roads going nowhere/ But I know your love takes me somewhere". A bubbly catchy song that I think is a bit forgettable. Not as strong as the first 5 tracks. Still good tho. 6.5.

    7. Codes: You know when you hear a song and you instantly know it's a great one? 'Codes' is like that. It's very beautiful and not-generic. Sounds a bit like Taylor Swift, but why should that be a bad thing? Her delivery is a killer. 9.

    8. Holding On For Life: A strongly beautifully performed song. The production is shiny and the piano is slick. Her vocals hit hard (as usual). This one is the type of song you keep in your playlist. 8.5.

    9. Love Me Like You Do: You haven't been living on earth if you haven't listened to this song at least 50 times over the passed year. Beautiful song (and you know it). 8.

    10. Don't Need Nobody: Another infectious track (made for commercial reasons). The auto-tune in the chorus sounds good. 7.5.

    11. Don't Panic: THIS IS A GREAT SONG. A GREAT ONE. IT'S THE MOST SHINY STANDOUT SO FAR ON THE ALBUM. PERFECT. 9.5.

    12. We Can't Move This: a very catchy song on point with a super great production. The second verse is so freakin strong. 8.

    13. Army: is a song i can personally relate to and is where the album truly explodes. Reminds me so much of her Halcyon sound which was such a great thing to listen to. 10.

    14. Lost and Found: another throwback, but this time, it's from the Lights era. Everything about this song works. An obvious single choice. 10.

    15. Devotion: When the song first starts, you think "Oh wow, another Lights song". And then everything changes, and it sounds nothing like Lights. In a good way. A heartfelt letter from Ellie to possibly anyone whom she cares about. Beautiful one. 8.

    16. Scream it Out: Such a great closer to a commercial heavy-pop album. Closes the album on a likeable note in which vulnerable Ellie admits "I always had a thing for silence, but lately I need a voice I recognize". A stand-out. 9.

    All in all, we can say that Ellie really did come out of her comfort zone after all, headed for the big commercial sounds, enlisting the help of the biggers producers in the game, but the core of what she does didn't change. A change of sound is healthy (umm, Taylor Swift?) and it works perfectly for Ellie. Delirium is a win.

    Far from a masterpiece but Delirium isn't bad, at all. On Delirium, Ellie does seem to experiment with a new sound of pop and figure out what songs work and which don't for her personality and voice. Though in some songs, you can hear some past dream-pop influences, that Ellie's been recognized (and praised!) for from her past albums, incorporated into them.

Not the type of pop album I expected but it's decent and after a few more listens, it'll probably grow on me.

    Some highlights would be: "Aftertaste", "Something In The Way You Move", "Lost and Found", "Devotion"

    It's rare finding an album where all the tracks are good and has no fillers. Good Album. It's full of catchy melodies, fun rhythms and beats, and Ellie often has an appealing voice in her songs.

    There's something truly unfortunate about Ellie Goulding's career : she always offered very interesting albums, with really unique sounds and a very fascinating atmosphere, presenting herself as one of the smartest pop artist of her generation but only received a massive success for her most uninteresting tracks ("Love Me Like You Do", "Burn").

    In that sense, "Delirium" could be seen as Ellie Goulding's definitive road to success. Don't get me wrong : it's a good pop album, with very smart productions but the entire concept seems crushing Goulding's creativity. On the 16 tracks of the standard edition, only two of them offer really exciting artistry and unique vibes ("Lost & Found" and "Around U"). The rest sounds honest but very under-whelming.
    From an artist like Goulding, we were expecting a major level of pop music, especially for her "big breakthrough". But in the end all we get is just a collection of "Love Me Like You Do"-s. Good production but not a thrilling material.

    Ellie took a risk by fully embracing pop and synthpop, yet she did it well. The album is filled with potential hits with one catchy song after another.

Ellie's lyricaism is so clear, the listener can figure out exactly what she is feeling with each song. However, some of the songs are to similar, and blend into each other, especially the bonus tracks. Also, the album runs on far too long. The delux tracks are not strong enough to be included, and it can feel like a chore to sit down and listen to the whole thing. Nevertheless, Ellie Goulding delivers her best album yet.

    I don't understand the negative reviews. This album is the first Ellie Goulding's album I actually like (I've heard Lights and Halcyon). Those two are indie pop albums and this is much more pop than indie, it's like Taylor Swift's 1989, and it actually worked well for me.

    One might say she went too mainstream since the beginning of her career. And that's correct. But she wanted to do so, so we can't blame her. Specially when she delivers pop bangers like On My Mind, Keep On Dancin' and Devotion.

    This is horrible. Man, what happened to Ellie Goulding?

    Now, as everyone remembers, Ellie Goulding was a singer-songwriter with a very specific and emotive voice who rose to fame with Lights and Halcyon. After two incredible albums, I am sorry to say that this is an unexpected disappointment. The album shows that Ellie decided to turn into the mainstream side and the cover of the album shows her body, which is, in my opinion, kinda unpleasing. On My Mind was a great indicator that the album would not leave an impression on me. Out of all the 22 songs (not counting Love Me Like You Do, Outside and Powerful), only 5 of them are memorable; Codes, a track which fuses the elements and instrumentals of Blank Space and Bad Blood, both by Taylor Swift, the second single Something In The Way You Move which is reminiscent of Beating Heart due to Ellie stopping the stanza at a point to say the final word, then Holding On For Life, Army and Scream It Out. Lights was a normal indie pop album, Halcyon was a darker sequel with more darker elements, emotions, a more aggressive showcase of her voice and, well, more songs. This album, however, is a very huge mess which lacks anything the previous two albums had. Almost every single song on the album is either emotionless, nothing special, just a straightforward pop song or chaotic. The way she sings the songs is tiring and some of her notes just cannot match with the instrumentals perfectly. Without those 5 songs, this album would've been even a 0, so this is the only reason I gave it a 2/10. I am giving Ellie one more chance to redeem herself, but if she does not, I will forget I ever was a fan of hers. Go back and listen to Lights and Halcyon, but don't listen to Delirium. Ellie has changed her sound, but in my opinion, not for the better.

If you take the celebrity gossip surrounding her, her ex-beaus, and her public appearances alongside Taylor Swift and her grrrl gang, it’s no surprise the 3 years since couldn’t be any more Goulding-free if they were longer.

    Her hotly anticipated third studio album, Delirium, has been described by Goulding as an experiment “to make a big pop album”, takes a tour even further into the middle of the road, hence why Max Martin, Greg Kurstin, and Ryan Tedder are producers instead of countless DJs. Besides the sweet, Swedish sounding “Lost and Found”, catchy “Codes”, or, of course, the Celine Dion-esque cheese of “Love Me Like You Do”, however, Delirium largely fails to make a similar impression, say, Taylor Swift’s 1989 or even Carly Rae Jepsen’s Emotion did in recent pop music. When her lightweight vocals aren’t being outmatched by the big-budget soundscapes surrounding her, Martin and co. aren’t capable of matching their own preceding successes—“Something In the Way You Move” either copies Selena Gomez’s “Me & the Rhythm” or Goulding’s own “Love Me Like You Do”, which second single “Army” does as well. The folktronica of her debut record and EDM of Halcyon may not be memorable in their own respect, but Delirium is Goulding’s first to not compliment her strengths to the slightest.

O Conceito, o aprofundamento e toda a qualidade mostrada pela Ellie ficou presa no Halcyon Days. Expand
