    Honestly, I think Ellie is evolving but Delirium has its ups and downs. The songs that are written by Ellie are such perfect dance pop, but the songs that are so commercial are even the worst of her career (Devotion, Don't Panic, We Can't Move To This).

    A very nostalgic record for me. It's scattered ,though sparsely with genuine feel good pop gems . Ellie's voice isn't improved but ger songwriting is more immediate, which is a joy accompanied by the decent production. Higlights:aftertaste, army,lost &found,on my mind

    the transition from her past work to this it's unbelievable, Goulding could be a great pop star but keeping her essence as songwriter, something that the actual pop stars doesn't have.

    Delirium delivers a cohesive and well-written album that even though isn't exactly like Halcyon or Lights, still keeps the essence of Ellie as a songwriter and Singer. The album is cohesive, it shows effort not only on the singles but all though out every song. Ellie's best album

    Despite having over 20 songs, Delirium is one of the most consistent pop albums I have ever heard in my life. With great vocals and upbeat production Ellie has made a great dance-pop album. Favourites include Love Me Like You Do, Codes, The Greatest, Keep on Dancin and Lost & Found

    Esse é sem dúvida o melhor álbum da Ellie! Ouvi tudo calmamente e busquei sentir o que a música passava. Me apaixonei perdidamente pela melodia e pela voz dessa incrível cantora. Músicas como Heal e Two Years Ago mereciam ser listadas como músicas do ano ou da vida. Elas músicas me fazem viver na minha mente tudo que não vivi de verdade. A Ellie é um sonho!

    Delirium is a very strong album as a whole. I do not think that listening to the tracks once over does it justice. Listen to each song a few times for it to do its magic.

I really like the chorus and the backing track to the song, its new for Ellie, and I have not heard any other song similar, which is quite hard to do for a pop artist. "Something in the way you move" is another strong song on the album, It fits well with the pop album. Its very strong, and different, which I think the pop charts does lack. On my mind, Codes, Holding on for life and We cant move to this are very catchy and they all would/have made great singles. Sadly, codes was not chosen. Keep on dancin is a stunning futuristic song too, it is very different from anything on the album, but is so well placed in the album. Devotion is also a beautiful song, however I really enjoy the live version far more, it shows the rawness and emotion put into the lyrics, and how cynical the song is, which I dont really feel is present from the pop based sped up version on the album. Overall, I really do think this is one of Ellies strongest albums. I still think i like Halcyon Days more, but every song on "Delirium" makes you feel really good, its such an amazing pop album.    … Expand

    Okay, I'm changing my rating to an 8. The first time I heard Delirium, I was pretty disappointed. It sounded like Ellie was selling out and going as mainstream as she possibly could. After listening a few more times, this album has definitely grown on me, and I think that even though Ellie has lost some of her original indie appeal, I can't fault her that much when the music is this good.Okay, I'm changing my rating to an 8.

Honestly, these are great dance pop songs, and this album is full of banger after banger. Ellie said that she wanted to go for her big pop album, and it really seems like she nailed it. It's a long album (21 tracks on the deluxe edition), but it's surprisingly consistent, with great hooks and melodies all the way through. There are 6 or so tracks I'm not too thrilled with, but that still leaves 15 which are good, and about half of those are excellent. So overall, it's fun, catchy, makes you want to dance, and is pretty much exactly what you'd hope for in a pop album.

    Delirium is a album about dance beats and vocal delivery. The club friendly songs may persuade you to dance but the album is not very impressive. She just came, sang some songs, made us dance and went. Waiting for Ellie Goulding's best. "Keep On Dancin'"and "Something in the Way You Move" are wonderful tracks anyway.

    I remember when I first heard Ellie's debut album. I was enchanted with that sound and Ellie's voice. Unfortunately, her third album gave us terrible songs which I can't stand. There are some good songs but it's not enough for me to give Ellie more than 0.

    I'm lucky I went into "Delirium" skeptical about its ability to top its predecessor "Halcyon", because if I had expected otherwise I might be giving it a very different review. Halcyon was a flood of emotions everywhere, with the gorgeous orchestration and depressing yet deep lyrics that rivaled Goulding's fellow countrywoman Florence Welch.

    Delirium has none of that, save maybe album    I'm lucky I went into "Delirium" skeptical about its ability to top its predecessor "Halcyon", because if I had expected otherwise I might be giving it a very different review. Halcyon was a flood of emotions everywhere, with the gorgeous orchestration and depressing yet deep lyrics that rivaled Goulding's fellow countrywoman Florence Welch.

    Delirium has none of that, save maybe album standouts "Holding on for Life", which could easily be seen as a little cousin to Halcyon's "My Blood", and similar production (but totally dissimilar themes) on the platonic love ballad "Army". But what it does have is a youthful energy and excitement for Ellie was too trapped in her depression to express on Halcyon. "Lost and Found", which wouldn't have sounded out of place on her debut record Lights, is a prime example of this.

    Yet on the contrary, it's also incredibly mature compared to recent pop releases. She's not "shaking off" haters or making up step-by-step processes to create the perfect happily ever after like Taylor Swift. She's not begging for attention like Ariana Grande, or engaging in childish relationships that only give her that "same old love" like Selena Gomez.

    With the standard edition having an intro and then 15 full tracks, I can understand why the deluxe might seem over the top. But the bonus tracks contain some of the highlights, like production from Kiwi indie pop god Joel Little (probably best known for Lorde's Pure Heroine album) on The Greatest and Paradise, and a fascinating, hypnotic job from Disclosure on Heal, easily one of my favorite songs to come out all year.

    As I said at the beginning of my review, don't go in expecting another Halcyon. But do go in expecting a solid pop album.

    Reminiscent of Taylor Swift's 1989, yet distinct enough to push Goulding into the mainstream. She proves her dance pop capabilities with "Around U" to mid-tempo ballads like "Scream It Out" and "Army". Favorite tracks: "Aftertaste", "Lost and Found", and "Don't Panic".

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.    … Expand

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.

    It is an album worthy to be called a successor of a magnum opus. It can even be called a magnum opus 2. Some would bother with a cliche and would complain that Ellie Goulding hasn't changed her sound but the real thing is, she really did change.

    Primeiramente, quero dizer que Ellie fez um disco fantástico e maravilhoso. Sou fã do trabalho dela e só tenho tido orgulho ultimamente. Esse é o seu melhor trabalho, vemos o quão as letras estão bem trabalhadas e as canções super bem produzidas. Parabéns pra Ellie que se superou!!!
    Delirium é o álbum do ano!!!

    My favourite artists are songwriters, storytellers who go on a journey in a piece of music and in the album's they create, allowing us to feel his/her sensuous road of human conviction. Ellie has given us a piece of herself, identifying her truth and connection from within.

    A great predecessor to her smash breaking album "Halcyon" Her voice has gained so much depth from the last album and able to transcend the lyrics further, it is so surreal. There really is nothing Ellie can't do.

    Without a doubt "Delirum" is a masterpiece. Rarely does an artist spill their heart onto an album, and make it pleasurable for the listener, it includes up-beat meaningful tunes that pull on emotional cords, all combined with a magical voice. Congrants Ellie.

    This album is not quite the things we're used to listen from Ellie Goulding, but she has been through folk, electronic and now pop and it's honestly flawless. Everyday "Delirium" grows and I suggest "Keep On Dancin" as the next single.

    All in all, as a pop album, I think this one is okay. It shows her trying out different pop styles and sub-genres. Some efforts like "Codes" and "Don't Panic" work better than the others. It's all really heavy on the beats and I can sense that the album is trying to be as loud and as big as it can be.

    Ellie Goulding has lent her featherweight voice to… well, everything since her Halcyon came out in 2012; from motion picture soundtracks—The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Divergent, and, recently, Fifty Shades of Grey—to EDM heavyweights such as Calvin Harris, Skrillex, Seven Lions, Major Lazer, and Calvin Harris, again, as well as releasing the world’s most unnecessary deluxe edition,Ellie Goulding has lent her featherweight voice to… well, everything since her Halcyon came out in 2012; from motion picture soundtracks—The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Divergent, and, recently, Fifty Shades of Grey—to EDM heavyweights such as Calvin Harris, Skrillex, Seven Lions, Major Lazer, and Calvin Harris, again, as well as releasing the world’s most unnecessary deluxe edition, Halcyon Days. 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.

    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.

    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?

    "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.

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.    … Expand

    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.

    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.    … Expand
