This was actually an impulse buy, but I'm so glad I did. The sound quality on this vinyl specifically compared to the others I have is amazing. Crystal clear, fantastic album in general, too. Super high quality!

Something new under the sun

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2014

Verified Purchase

Let me set the stage a bit, so you will understand the place from whence this review is founded. I came up in the musical time of hair bands, punk and electronic sampling. And John Denver. To say my musical tastes are eclectic would be a vast understatement. For the last decade or so, though, there has not been much new out there.

Then, like the rest of the world, I heard Royals, and I thought, "Huh...that's fresh." I listened to the tracks on the album, and decided to buy it. This was on Dec. 30. It's now February 6, and I can honestly tell you I have listened to Pure Heroine every day, multiple times. Every time I listen to it, I hear something different.

I think it's the simplicity that drew me in. Discounting the soaring vocals, the music is pure and very simple. Single chords and a drum beat make up most of the tracks. I didn't realize this, at first, because it sounds rich and full, but as I listened, I realized the "music" was actually the multilayered vocals. It's like A cappella on crack, with a drum beat and a tuning note.

So yeah, Royals...what a great song. Seriously. Speaks to the disenchantment of youth with the gimme more mentality of their elders. The other songs on the album are probably not going to reach out and grab you by the throat like Royals does. But in progressive listens, they sneak into your mind. I told my daughter,(who is 19 and also loves this album, which is a first for us, musically) every song on Pure Heroine is an ear worm.

Some of my favorite lyrics:

Glory and Gore - "We gladiate, but I think we're really fighting ourselves"
400 lux - "I'd like it if you'd stay" and "Where we can talk like there's something to say"
Tennis Court - "We're so happy even when we're smiling out of fear"
Ribs - "We're reeling through the midnight streets and I've never felt more alone..."

And so on...There is a lot to love here.

I wholeheartedly recommend a serious listen if you, like me, long for something beyond the radio happy drivel most music seems to be these days. I have been pimping this album to everyone I come into contact with lately.

This, to me, is a game changer, in the spirit of Nirvana, Guns and Roses, and Alanis Morissette. By this, I mean the music is new, and fresh, and will probably spawn many, many imitators. Lorde seems to have quite a handle on what she wants from this experience, and how she wants her brand to be presented. I can only hope this isn't a one hit wonder album. As with GnR and Alanis, and who knows what Nirvana would have done, it can be hard to maintain the level of angst necessary to generate impactful music when you are suddenly rich and famous. I really hope Lorde continues to be inspired by whatever muse led her to the music she hears and has shared with us.

Pleasantly Surprised!

I had first heard the song 'Royals' in passing. I think I was at my brother-in-law's house and he had a playlist going. I didn't really think too much of it at the time, but, then again, it was just playing in the background. Not too long after that, I heard 'Team' on the radio and I started wondering, 'who is singing this? This is pretty catchy!'. I pulled out my phone and used the Shazam app to see who was singing the song, only to find that I was listening to Lorde; the same person who sang 'Royals'. Of course, 'Royals' was everywhere, so it wasn't long before I heard it again and really liked what I heard.

I decided to check out 'Pure Heroine' on Spotify; which I use more or less as a try-it-before-you-by-it app. Before I knew it, I had played that album front to back twice a day for a week straight. I was thinking to myself that the album title was very appropriate. I was ADDICTED to this thing like heroine!

The album was nothing like I expected it to be. Not like a cheesy pop album at all, but an intelligent, young and fresh sound. There's a lot of production going on here, but it is very minimalistic. Very simple musical arrangements, but strong lyrics and a great singer who is much more mature than her years would normally have you believe.

With all of this in mind, I knew I had to own this album. I liked it enough that I wanted to have a physical copy. The only issue is that the extended version, which is the version on Spotify, is only available as a digital download. I had grown to like a lot of the other songs after the last track 'World Alone'. I know that most of these songs came from her EP 'The Love Club', but there were 1 or 2 tracks that I would still be missing if I bought the standard album and 'The Love Club'. I stumbled upon this Japanese import that had the song 'Swingin' Party' which is on the extended version. With that and 'The Love Club' EP, I would have the whole extended version, so I bit the bullet and bought the more expensive import as well as the EP.

I'm very happy to have it. If you are like me and like to have physical copies of your music, It's well worth it to get this copy of the album. Regardless, if you are on the fence about whether to get a copy of this album, (whether the standard release or this import), I would highly recommend you get it. It is not like you would expect...and that is a very good thing! I'm very much looking forward to what comes next from this incredible talent!

Voy a hablar del CD físico, porque el album tiene ya muchos años. Me ha llegado en perfecto estado! El CD y el libreto son un poco sobrios por tema de que es el primer album de Lorde, pero como coleccionista me gusta. Viene libreto, CD y caja.

Excelente presentación en vinil para un álbum debut excelente.

Reviewed in Mexico on June 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

Por parte de amazon todo excelente. El pedido lo hice un miércoles y me llegaba el lunes siguiente y para mi sorpresa me llegó el jueves en la mañana (con envío gratuito estándar).
En cuanto al álbum: 10 de 10.
Es increíble para ser un álbum sencillo (1lp, no edición especial ni aniversario ni nada) la calidad es equiparable a cualquier "edición especial" de cualquier otro LP.
La presentación es excelente. El booklet está increíble. Los materiales de la caja y el booklet son de excelente calidad.
Contiene un código para descargar el álbum completo en MP3.
En cuanto a la calidad de audio es excelente. Jamás había escuchado así a Lorde. Los audiófilos no quedarán decepcionados. He notado cosas (vocales o instrumentos) que jamás había escuchado. Es como escuchar de nuevo Pure Heroine por primera vez.
Si eres fan de Lorde o el vinil sin duda es una compra obligatoria.
Lo único que se podría mejorar es la calidad del disco. Si fuera de 180 gr. sería perfecto. Pero aún así el sonido se siente muy nítido y vivo.
No duden en comprarlo.
