“I told my mother I would die by 27/and in a way I sort of did” gutted me on first listen due to losing my mom at 27. So then the continued references to being 28 just forced me back to how horrible I felt in 2016 without her.
This album hurts but in the best of ways, if that’s at all possible.
I am also thankful that Halsey is an artist committed to creating albums that tell the story vs a collection of singles thrown together the way so many other artists seemed to have sunk to.
I don’t have anything against her, so I guess good for her. But, I’ve only heard Lucky and it was.. meh. That alone should keep people from giving it 5 stars (and more). This is kinda weird.
I’m not saying that the song wasn’t good lyrically. I just thought her singing wasn’t great and it felt.. off. I understood it was a homage to Britney, it was about Halsey’s struggles, etc. I teared up watching the video.
It just wasn’t a sold song. So, I personally find it weird that the album can get an off the chart score when even one song out of the many isn’t perfect. Does that make sense? I’m confused by the reviewers, not by Halsey.
It does not make sense. Because you have admitted you haven’t listened to the entire album and are judging it PURELY from “Lucky.”
The strength (or lack their of) in her voice on track 16 out of 18 is deliberate. It feeds into the entire album and the fact that for the past two years she’s been fighting for her life.
Your argument doesn’t really hold water and will not until you actually listen to the entire thing instead of wondering what others could possibly have gotten from this because you turned your nose up over ONE song.

I would suggest listening to the album as a whole before casting it aside because you didn’t enjoy one single.
