My first time posting here, just need to share how im feeling about this album.
I bawled my eyes out listening to Kintsugi and Fingertips, i think it's the depth she hadn't reached yet with her previous albums. The way she sings about deaths of her relatives and the way it affected her is so heartbreaking, and it makes me go back to reminiscing my personal experiences and traumas. I think it's a great way to share her poetry through the music. As she said herself, those are not 'great songs', but it's a great combination of poetry and music.
I also loved Sweet, it's a beautiful song. I love how sharp her lyricism is with this album. Paris, Texas is also a standout, it brings a feeling of nostalgia, and also this song kind of brings you back after you fell apart listening to Kintsugi and Fingertips.
Let the Light In and Margaret make for a great light ending to a very dark and heavy subjects of the previous songs. Let the Light In kind of sounds like it could be on Lust for Life, which I love. Margaret is simple but effective.
I haven't yet made up my opinion on the closing 3 tracks. Fishtail sounds kind of generic and isn't as good as Tulsa, whish i've seen it being compared to. But all in all those 3 songs are a great way to finish an album and shake off the hard feelings of its core. I love Taco Truck, i only wish the first half would be longer, actually i wouldn't mind the whole song including VB would last 10 minutes.
Interludes are cool in the context of the album and they do a great job of building a bridge from the first part of the album through Candy Necklace (which is iconic and sounds like it could be on Ultraviolence) to the more vulnerable and personal songs.
 
All in all I think it's her masterpiece, but then again i think that about every album of hers. Anyway, i think it holds itself strong compared to NFR, and for me personally Ocean Blvd is much more grand and courageous than NFR.
 
Anyway, thank you for coming to my TED talk, i'll go back swimming with the fishes, call me Aphrodite, as the waves bow down to me.

get high 
drop acid

For the last time....
Did you know that there's a ROSEMEAD EXCLUSIVE BABY under ocean blvd 

This is my first and last post on this thread since I’ve been hardcore lurking for months. I’m gonna miss checking this thread 24/7 and consuming the best comedy the internet has to offer. I’ll never forget the great moments 
 
P.S. this album is fantastic and what I’ve been missing from Lana for years.

I can't decide what my bottom tier is bc everything is so good

I'm leaving the album on repeat until I go to bed lol. And then on repeat for the next several weeks 
 
I can't wait for y'all to hear taco truck, grandfather, and paris texas... My personal favorites right now

Spotify users,
 
You can report clipping issues here, there are lots of them in this album unfortunately:

The last time, they did return to reports and fixed it after a couple of days.

I am here. Don’t forget me… did you know there’s a sock under the polish blvd… 🌹🧦

POLISH SOCK LADY OWNS MY HEART IVE LOVED THAT WOMAN FROM THE START 

Candy necklace on my pussy…do you want to open me up?
Candy necklace on my pussy…don’t you want to lick me out? 

This has been so much fun. So many brilliant insightful conversations, lots of messy fights, hilarious moments (us desperately looking for the track titles; @Fingertips having correctly predicted the Grandfather acronym without any of us taking it seriously; half of the forum thinking that the album will be country with Nikki Lane featured on most tracks; Rosemead exclusive baby; the fake insiders; the Polish sock lady) the great @Kintsugi getting the Best New Insider Best Insider Ever seal of approval, @hotshot2am and the glorious AHA music days, the pre-order announcement etc. Thank you to all of you for this truly - truly - wild pre-release era! 
 
 

Excited to not read any ''PiAnO fLoP'' comments for a while, at least 

I would just like to say 
 

That idea is actually fire

HOW MANY MORE MINUTES

we're so so so close... we made it

This has been so fun! I'll catch you on the flipside 

what does the yasssified monkey think about the album

new lana acronym 

Me to anyone who has anything bad to say about an album I haven’t even heard yet 
 

I haven't listened to the leaks but I must confess I've been peeking at your spoilers tag from time to time and I'm soooo excited, especially for the lyrcis. I'm a sound first, lyrics second type of fan but this time I'm way more intrigued to read what she has to say (based on your reviews), some of the lyrics you have shared are breath-taking! 3 hours left 

tracks 14-16
