Beautiful Loser

Okay, like, I need y’all to give me all proof of Lana being in Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, wherever in her pre-fame days, Tulsa is making me believe in those headcanons of Lana being in a cult.

I’ve been up for two hours listening to this album now, whew time just flies by. Maybe it’s time to get up and have some breakfast now, maybe I can stream the album while taking a shower before class starts. It’s a sunny morning you guys, not just literally but metaphorically too. We made it. Two years since the first mention of the album and four years after the first mention of Yosemite, we made it to here. And she did not disappoint, why was I all worried all this time.

Time for me to close my COCC timeline and start writing on the next one lel

I put on Yosemite just to read salv’s post above

Okay, album just finished. I’m definitely fully awake now. I’m sure this album will grow on me. Some songs are clearly pop, but the others belong more in a different genre I’m not used to. None of the songs really smacked me across the face and took my breath away the way Mariner’s or Venice did, but White Dress get close to that with her high, whispery voice pressing out as many words as possible under two seconds, making the song very intense for a moment. It also makes me think of the “I am my on-e-ly god” in Disco. TJF uses autocorrect properly, it brings something to a song and isn’t overused just because it’s a cool effect. I still don’t care much for For Free. Is a pretty song, the harmonies are perfect. I just... don’t feel it, I guess. Let me love you like a woman sounds better on the album, but I’m afraid that I still don’t care much for it either. But, like I’ve said before, I’m sure I’ll appreciate it one day when I can relate to the lyrics. Breaking up slowly was criminally short. They could’ve easily made it into a longer song with a gorgeous outro. I just feel, I dunno, that Norman had better transitions between the songs? Add a few seconds of silence after Tulsa and it would’ve been even better. This album clearly has better production though. And you can tell that it was made closely to Norman; the similar instruments in Wild at Heart and How to Disappear (does she sample HtD?), and the vague similarities between Dance till we die and Venice Bitch. I’m... Hmm, I don’t know if I like that. It bothers me a little. I hope it one day won’t. I don’t dislike the album. It’s definitely more cohesive than Norman - Yosemite actually sounds like it fits in here while BAR still feels like a pebble in the shoe on NFR! - and I’ll keep it on repeat the next days to get used to it even more. This album feels very Lizzy Grant and today’s Lana Del Rey at the same time. It’s very cool, and something I thought we might get one day but nothing I dared to hope for. I’ll come back and comment on Yosemite later. <3

Breaking up slowly could’ve been much longer.

Okay I definitely have to listen to Yosemite again but I can say this: it managed to get a tear out of my eye.

OMFG YOSEMITE CAME ON AAAAHHH

Not all those who wander are today’s Lana bringing back Lizzy Grant’s vocal layering. I love it. I’m really getting a Lizzy Grant vibe from this entire album so far, but, like, a modern take on Lizzy Grant.

Dark but just a game gives me pre-fame Lana vibes at times, when it sounds as much pop as possible. I think it’ll grow on me, the verses are the best part.

Is wild at heart supposed to have the same chords and instruments as how to disappear?

Aaaahahaha, Lana is trending nr 2 WW on Twitter and Justin is currently 4th

YAS MISS LANA, YOU SHOW ALL THESE OTHERS HOW TO USE AUTOTUNE PROPERLY!!

Tulsa Jesus freak is next, I have very high expectations of it after reading your reactions for a week. I don’t want it to be another Cherry, a bop I like for a week and then never listen to again.

White Dress

You know what. I’m gonna give in and listen to it anyway, I’m gonna be a wreck from lack of sleep but I can’t wait anymore. The sun is rising and I’m a little bit more awake now, I think I can listen through at least the first few songs before getting too sleepy again.

Hello, good morning, I just woke up automatically and saw that the clock says 5:17 AM and aaahhh the album is up for streaming... I’ll wait a little longer before listening properly to it though, if I stream it now I’ll just fall asleep again, haha.

@CyberCherry You might wanna warn your grandma of the rare but occasional scat porn posts that happen every year.

@LanaDelJaco Hello, welcome to LanaBoards! I’m going to move your thread/post to the Chemtrails merch thread, just so you know that it didn’t magically disappear.

You can nap a bit longer if you want, there’s like nine more hours left or something.

Omg you’re right!!

What do these acronyms stand for?

I just know that Lana’s going to be mad at the times if she reads their review and the line about her trying on several costumes before finding herself.

Yeah, I had to listen a little bit to make sure it wasn’t a real leak. And please don’t make fun of people for their covers, they’re probably just having fun.

Please don’t share fake leak videos in here, you’re making me nervous.
