Do you guys hear “feel” or “fear”?Also what is the meaning behind the line “fresh out of fucks”? I don’t get it

Oh god, miss u on my lips
 
I WASNT READY FUCK

Might be an unpopular opinion but Peppers is the worst song on the album for me! Also, why is it named Peppers, doesn’t even make sense. It just bothers me

when u know, you know, know you know 

can y’all stop saying shit like "margaret sounds like a taylor song" cause i actually like the song and y’all are about to ruin it for me 

I do wish Taco Truck was like an extra 4 minutes longer. When I saw x VB i was expecting an epic

Yes something I have struggled with on this record is the lack of narrative, it’s quite hard to really decipher. There isn’t much ‘story telling’ just her going from one thing to the next and it isn’t very coherent, but I guess this is what she meant by automatic singing. I’m not sure I personally like it much.  I think it better suits her poetry. 
 
I think there is a slight bit of pretentiousness creeping into her music since NFR.
 
 
 

The album overall is beautiful and I can see her vision with it. The weakest songs for me are Paris, Texas, Grandfather, and Peppers. I enjoy the album. I want to stress that I am not saying I want her to revisit old material because I know that’s how people will interpret this. However, there was a different quality to her work pre-NFR and maybe even before LFL (minus a few tracks, mainly unreleased ones from that time). There was something there that isn’t so present in the music anymore and it’s totally okay for some people to long for that again. Listening to this album and then listening to songs like Old Money, Dragon Slayer, etc, there is something different there. I don’t expect her to go back to that style because she’s growing as a person and I appreciate it. But I am allowed to miss that story-telling and atmosphere that old songs had. Once again, I love this new music too, but the older music had that atmosphere and maybe it’s the current producers she’s working with contributing to that (minus Jon Batiste).

I agree with you. I do like the music and it has grown on me since I first listened but it hasn’t grabbed me the way I was hoping it would like Born to Die, Paradise, UV, and Honeymoon did when I first listened. 

I'll be totally honest this is probably the first album from Lana that i haven't immediately fallen in love with. It's quite hard to get into and i'm still not quite sure on it. It's too early for me to actually form a valid opinion on it but right now as much as i do really like some of the songs, i don't really care that much about them, and it's so weird cus i'm not really sure why. Like i can't help but feel a little bored with this narrative of family and such. Again it's not that the music is boring or bad in any way but i think personally my taste in music has changed significantly over the years and i don't think it helped that the album was constantly being described as "massive and crazy" - which i do think it is a new style for her but it definitely over-built my expectations and i couldn't help but feel a little dissapointed upon first listen. I mean even A&W didn't really shock me as much as it appeared to do with other people, and i suppose reading about it for months before having heard it has ultimately done more damage to my experience than it was worth.

I agree with this. If I hear her sing about her boring sister and brother one more time... She started doing it on BB, and I was hoping it's a one-off type thing, but now I see she thinks it's a good idea. 
 
For me, what doesn't resonate with this albu is them lack of compelling storytelling that made songs like Blue Jeans and NFR such career highlights. On  BTD and NFR, every song, even a minor one like Cinnamon Girl, had a complete, compelling narrative. Like, you literally know what the song is about, who the characters are, etc.
 
With Ocean Boulevard,  a lot of songs don't have any narrative whatsoever (the interludes or the grants being an "oh, I'm doing this for our family,), or they're a boring diaristic narrative of sorts (fingertips, kintsugi) that meander and go on for an eternity), or they're simply muddled, virtually indecipherable narratives (fishtail, candy necklace).
 
Of the entire album's lyrics, I kinda remember OB, AW and Paris Texas lyrics only, with parts of Sweet (Beverly Center) and Peppers, maybe. I do feel like her lyricism has become lazier post-Chemtrails. 
 

Agreed, it's just not that interesting to me personally. It's all just become a little bit too diaristic. Ever since Norman she's sort of stayed on this wavy and simple soundscape. Even with the trap beats and pop moments on this record it still sounds pretty tame in my opinion 

I was wondering this also. Mine didn’t have any glue in it (it was inside the pocket with the side C and D vinyl)

it's side C and D of the picture disc

Lo store italiano é il peggiore, comunque ti ha detto bene, io ho ordinato dal sito americano prima di sapere che sarebbe stato disponibile su tutti gli altri siti Europei tra cui quello italiano!!!!

Thank you so much honey, I just checked and the email I got was in fact for the lighter and not for the picture disc. 
 
I just hope they will restock the racing jacket ughhh! 

One of her best songs

I still hear “This is Ultraviolence” instead of “with his Ultraviolence” to this day when the chorus starts and it makes more sense to me that way. What do you guys hear?
