Okay about 5 listens in:
current favs of the evening are living legend, sweet Carolina, BBS, thunder, violets for roses 

Living legend is an actual dream
 

Okay I'm kinda falling in love with the standard cover. I kinda want to buy it. But three vinyls of the same album, my bank is crying

Do any Nicole Dollanganger songs think the violins (?) in Thunder sound like the ones in Lacrymaria Olor?  Is there actually a name for this type of sound? It's been years since I've played the cello. It sounds like the violins are crying it's so beautiful

When she tours again, Living Legend will be one of those songs she will never remove from a future setlist

it’s the wild on you baby put your red boots on giddy up my father would never step in when his wife would rage at me the only thing that fits me is this black bathing suit you roll like thunder i don’t wanna live for me

Currently obsessed with Wild On Y- I mean Nectar of the Gods and Living Legend 

the previously leaked songs fit perfectly with the album. I'm really impressed.
 
 I'm happy they have such a great album home 

AND BABY YOU
AND ALL THE THINGS YOU DO
AND THE WAY YOU MOVE
SENDS ME STRAIGHT TO HEAVEN

BBS serving Heroin when she yells, ugh so perfect 

I'm doing the same thing! I left it playing on Spotify while I slept and worked all day. I'm doing it all week tbh I would just try to get in as many as we can 

I can’t wait until I finally get used to the old leaked tracks (LL, NotG, and CB) being part of the new record and they seem unified in my head (the album as of now feels a bit disjointed, disconnected because of it, will take some time to adjust). Definitely will be in my top 3 Lana albums, maybe #1 OMG this album is so flawless

Opening piano keys to Beautiful…
 
“Just keep it simple babe…”
 
Me:

This is an amazing observation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bear with me, but I had a neat observation: after listening to BB, I think it’s interesting how frequently Lana ends a record by explicitly emphasizing femininity (often directly with the titles) and her interpretation of it. 
 
This Is What Makes Us Girls closes her debut record with supercut-like imagery of the friendship dynamics with women in her early years. The standard version of Ultraviolence does something similar in closing with a cover of The Other Woman, offering a less unified approach to TIWMUG’s love-centric expression.  

Lust For Life ends with Get Free, a track that defies the very love reliance she punctuated BTD and UV with, thereby adhering to this commitment for the women she felt were impacted by it: Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston. In its entirety, it’s almost an ode to women and their liberation from toxicity. 

In NFR, hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have…BIHI—both in the title and its content—directly confronts her position as a woman that has been submerged in a world that often felt hopeless. 
 
COCC (an album designed to clarify and embrace her femininity) completes her narrative with a cover alongside two women she reveres in their artistry, even allowing one of them to have the last note on the record. 
 
Her recent release seems to continue this pattern with the heartwarming, irreverent ballad Sweet Carolina. The track is a reassurance to her sister, a promise of constancy as she emerges into the commitment of motherhood. 
 
Whether intentional or not, I really found this trend interesting. You could make similar arguments for Paradise and Honeymoon touching on this as well, but I felt the other records encompassed femininity a bit more directly. Let me know what you think!

I don’t know who she was dating when she wrote Dealer, but she DRAGS them in the lyrics lol

bb is now her second best rated album by pitchfork! equal to lfl 

It’s her second highest score after NFR so, I think it’s a good score!

YOU AREN'T EVEN READY ELLE YOU AREN'T!!!!! GET TISSUES FOR THE REST OF THIS RECORD NOW BEFORE YOU BAWL YOUR EYES OUT

Jenny really jumped right into that pool wow 

That album deserved at least an 8. 

I knew my 7 prediction would be right. But honestly, I'm pleasantly surprised. I thought they would hate it to be honest 

& I saw you saw who I am...
 
Starting from the beginning, getting to relive some of the old singles before diving into the first new song which will be BBS... I'm so excited

tbh all the textbook hate is undeserved…  it’s a serve 
 
best of the initial three singles idc idc 

YOU SAID I WAS BAD LET ME SHOW YOU HOW BAD GIRLS DO 
 
CAUSE NO ONE DOES IT BETTER
