Lorde’s Virgin on Vinyl: Bold, Bare, Brilliant or Just Boring?

🎧 Honest vinyl review of the Bathwater pressing from a longtime fan. I’ve been a Lorde fan since Pure Heroine, and I own all her albums on vinyl — from the highs of Melodrama to the divisive Solar Power. So when Virgin dropped, I picked up the translucent green Bathwater pressing on day one… and gave it a serious listen. In this video, I break down: ✅ How Virgin sounds on vinyl ✅ Whether any tracks stand out or fall flat ✅ How it compares to Melodrama, Solar Power, and Pure Heroine ✅ Pressing quality, dynamics, and overall emotional impact 💬 What do YOU think? Did Virgin land for you? Is there a track I missed? What’s your favorite Lorde album?
