    I know people have already listened and rated Communion, but I thought I'd add my $0.02 as it helps me get used to writing reviews and scoring I guess. I'm going to rate out of 5 cause I'm used to that..... :whatever2:

     

     

    Foundation - 3.5/5 - I think it's a sexy intro.  :grinds:

     

    Real 3.5 or 4 depends/5 - It's a bit generic and boring sounding, something you'd hear when you're shopping in Hollister which isn't a good thing. If there was more of that bass guitar in the bridge throughout the song, I think it'd add a whole different, substantial dimension to this song but it seemed like it relied too much on auto-tuned sounds, sadly.

     

    Shine 4/5 - One of the strongest songs on the album, although it's actually weird for me to not hear the remixed version. I think they released it as a single (???) which has done quite well to promote their sound and made them come up in the dance/clubbing scene. I hear some sort of reggae influences? throughout. Reminds me of the beach (Surf dance noir ?  :troll: )

     

    Take Shelter 4.5/5 - I was listening to this before the album came out and I think it's one of my favourite songs I've ever heard as I find it original. I find it really refreshing to listen to and I can relate to the lyrics personally, which is always a plus. Love this song.  :crying:

    I also think it's the strongest in every way.

    Worship - 4/5 - Sexy song :bodyisready:  but it gets a bit repetitive after a while. Would be great remixed as a slower song imo. 

    Eyes Shut - 3.5/5 - Sweet song; the lyrics are generally relate-able and the melody is gentle so some people may prefer that. I think it could be released as a single if they are thinking of releasing anymore from this LP.

     

    Ties - 3/5 - A bit boring and repetitive for me tbh.

    King - 4.5/5 - Perfect summer anthem single, not much to say about this one you'd just have to listen to it and dance.  :dance:  :lolliney:

    Desire - 3.5/5 - It's okay. I don't understand personally how it's been so huge but just a bit standard really. 

     

    Gold - 3/5 - Just sounds really samey as the rest of the album. Would be nice if they could try and experiment with different sounds, instruments and compositions.  :tsk:

     

    Without - 3/5 - It's alright. Sounds a lot like Eyes Shut but the lyrics are quite sweet too, I guess.  :agree2:

    Border - 3.5 or 4 depends/5 - Bit samey really. Not that exciting for me personally.

     

    Memo - 3/5 Again, a bit samey and I would have thought they would have chose King or Desire to close the album, just to cement their sound but IDK. 

     

     

     

    Overall I give the album 4/5 because I feel for a debut album it's quite impressive and their rise has seemed to be successful; I hope they're around for a while longer enough to release a couple of more LPS at least. I'd love to see them live, too.

    :die:

    i like it better than WC's debut, but her lyrics are so repetitive. the lyrics are meh but the actual music, including the guitar and strings are just absoutely sublime. hopefully more songs like this, instrument and percussion wise would be heavenly. 

     

    but seriously, the lyrics minus the bridge just seems like she picked words that rhymed. but definitely looking forward to this record more than I did UV, sounds so much more mature and serious and sexy tbh

    i can see why people wouldnt like lana's music or her image. i appreciate criticism of her work and don't get defensive. it's so childish when people get pathetic at stan wars but i think lana can take criticism; people aren't always going to like everything she makes which could improve how she works idk

    This x1000.  Your view will inevitably be blocked by a hundred assholes holding up their phones for the entire show...

    especially when you're 5 foot fucking 3  :icant:

    The Chicago crowds are horrible lol

    The girls I have had to deal with are annoying as fuck, they are violent with their elbows and feet and scream into your ears.

    sounds similar to the experience i had in London. shame there are real c*nts out there that just ruin the atmosphere for others

    I don't see the big deal about the rape video. Yes, I think it's clearly supposed to be sexually inticing and stylized (and no doubt reflective of rape fantasies on Lana's part) but that hardly makes it an endorsement of real life rape. Non-sexual violence is so frequently depicted as glamorous, sexy, and cool/badass (Lana has also made light hearted references to murder) and most people can acknowledge that it's intended as pure fantasy, but when it comes to rape people have a harder time being rational. This also extends to all of the BDSM references in Lana's work (''he hit me and it felt likes a kiss'', etc).

    Because rape isn't something to glamorise? I know this comment was back in January but that shit is still messy, come on now.

     

    UV was not good.
