I’ve listened to the album like 100 times now (maybe not actually, but a lot!!) and I have to say that all of the tracks stand out. To me, it’s perfect. Today, the melodies from White Dress and Breaking Up Slowly are in my head. This whole album is a treat for the ears. I connected instantly and honestly the last time that happened was with Honeymoon. Don’t get me wrong, all her albums are great. But I kept waiting for THAT FEELING and I got it!! I feel like we already knew most of the songs for NFR, that album to me just felt like a compilation of snippets. I like going into her albums without knowing what I’m getting into, with a little mystery, and the snippets really kept me from enjoying 100 percent. It took the magic away for me. Anyway, rant over!! So interesting to read everyones’ take on this album, it seems divided among the fans this time around.

Weyes Blood sounds a lot like Joni on For Free. Her voice is fucking powerful and amazing, like damn!!

I’m really hearing the Joni Mitchell and Mazzy Star/Hope Sandoval and the Warn Inventions influence on CoCC. What a treasure to listen to, so delicate and lovely ❤️

I can post again because I finally remembered my username and password because my boyfriend was using this iPad for two years...anyway I am anxiously awaiting release day. Bought all the physical copies of things I could. Kinda jealous everyone’s already heard COTCC but I’m hoping I’ll enjoy it better on release day because it will sound better (have had bad experience with shitty leaks). I hope I love it.

I love that hook on Bomb (Peter). Miami Garden Club was perfect but I kinda dig the new sound she’s going for with this album.

It goes on fucking FOREVER. She is literally obsessed and psychotic.

Azealia posted a long ass story on Instagram about Lana. She’s fucking obsessed. She just won’t stop. And, she’s racist.

I love it! It sounded so much better than “babes on tour lyfe” crap. I actually got emotional. God, I hope not.

LFL is my least favorite album but I find myself listening to it the most. I fell asleep to it last night. The others I have to be in a more depressed/introspective mood. I listened to Honeymoon the other day when it rained and it was magical. Ultraviolence reminds me of my own abusive relationship so I have to be careful when I revisit it. I still think it’s her best. I do prefer AKA over Born To Die, which I find odd, but I just love the surf noir feeling of that album. I dunno, I love anything Lana does. Looking forward to NFR.

These songs sound far better than Change.

But yeah, How To Disappear had me showing my mom going, “Look how beautiful she is!!! Listen to her voice! I love her!!” My mom was like, “lol, I know you love her.” For the record, I’m 31, I just live with my mom at the moment. I’m always shoving Lana in her face and I think she’s become a fan. I’m so excited for NFR it’s not even funny.

I love Melody Gardot, she’s amazing and has a gorgeous voice.

I wasn’t sure about Venice Bitch on first listen, but fell in love by second listen. Now I’ve listened to it like 50 times and I’m starting to get sick of it, so I’m just pulling out her unreleased stuff to tide me over. I haven’t played a Lana song this much since West Coast. I wasn’t expecting much from Antanoff, so I’m extremely pleasantly surprised. Lana is so damn versatile.

Enough with the features; especially Marina. Their voices don’t even go together.

I don’t know, I feel like the production is all over the place. I’ll keep listening. It’s just hard to hear her voice over everything.

Is this confirmed?

“I’m your man” I fucking love it

Thanks, it’s awful. I keep trying to get through one minute at a time. Plastic surgery is no joke!

I just got a nose job on Tuesday and have been in so much pain. Hearing that Lana is releasing new music next week is giving me hope that I can get though this hell recovery. I’m so excited!!

I had a playlist on shuffle, and “In My Feelings” played first and then came “Money, Power, and Glory.” The difference was astonishing. She really had something going with Ultraviolence. LFL doesn’t really touch it. She has ACTUAL talent, and she’s awesome when she uses it.

Was completely hooked after Off to the Races. I thought it was the most colorful song I ever heard.

Who is singing in the background? Not lana?

Which one are we supposed to like better? I think I like the Spotify version more, because it starts with the moody piano, but now I'm not sure. Damn it, I woke up too early for this shit!

Yeah I'm confused with that. Which is the real version?

I never post here because it can be intimidating. But I'll echo everyone else that my hype for this album has completely sunk. I was so excited for it, and I haven't been in the best place mentally. Her songs have helped with my depression immensely. I don't think this album is for fans. It's for her. And yeah, she can keep it. I'll keep replaying Ultraviolence and Honeymoon; at least those were coherent albums. This was giving me something to look forward to in my own dark times, and continually being disappointed (along with other personal matters), I'm just not here for that. Looking forward to HAIM's new album.
