Same to both, just want the album and also the book. The book is really saddening to me for her and for us too. I was really anticipating that one. I think it was a different level than Violet. I was and am continue to be super intrigued.
 
I’m really hoping she has physical copies of the poems either hand/type written and she just has to re-edit/format/put the book together. That said it’s still not like it would come out the exact same. Fuck the people who stole her shit.  

I just want to listen to the new album for the first time  and it's going to be a long waitI'm so sad about the book situation... That poem she wrote for Behind the Iron Gates it's my favorite by her, and if I think about the quality and beauty of the other poems from that book, which will never be read, I feel like . What a fucking mess :'( 

I remember joining her livestream last night and every single fucker commenting about SOTB. It was really funny too how the viewers were at 22k and went down to 4k in like five minutes when they realized she was just filming Nikki sing...
 
Kinda shows u how her and the fans interests are not aligning...

y’all can we talk about wtf is up with this new voice she’s been singing in since NFR… 
Like, I am not here for it. And it’s her new thing. It’s just an irk, it’s like that light, airy, higher register….  it’s kinda ruining some of her recent songs for me

Can you hear Lana's voice in the song? Or is it muffled? I don't really want to listen to it if it's muffled, but if there's a good moment in which you can clearly identify Lana's voice and what's she's saying, I'd give it a try. 

I still dislike this album, but it has BB, Wildflower Wildfire and Cherry Blossom and Nectar of the Gods and I feel super connected to those last two songs, I actually used to cry a lot to CB back in the day, so I'm glad she put it there. Happy birthday, Blue Banisters! 

Waist deep in icy waves
I can't feel a thing
Waist deep in freezing seas
But you're here with me 
 
That site fake lyrics vibes I know... I can't write, it's either that or using Mary (Scared of Me) as a template 
 
By the way do we know who wrote them? They are as iconic as the In the cock- ones

The horse top is honestly hideous but it's also somehow endearing and cute that she's wearing it iykwim
 

That we’re going from dissecting Lana’s relationship with LA and her friends and family to a breaking news exclusive about a stalker who has acid trips about Lana to lawsuits to casual mentions of scat and back to dissecting her personal life… I- 

i got help for my severe mental health issues before she even dared to release another single. at this point even liza minelli won't outlive the wait for this album

So, my thoughts after the first listen of Midnights: 
1) Maroon
2) Lavender Haze
3) Vigilante Shit
Just know that it's the first time I ever listened to a Taylor Swift album and just know like 3 songs from 2012

I'm listening to it and I'm liking it so far! Wow. I never thought I'd ever say that about a Taylor Swift song since I didn't like any of the ones I listened throughout the years . I'll come back later with the final thoughts! HAHA

I just dislike the 180° switch she made from a glam innovative sex goddess to a country bumpkin soccer mom 
 

You literally cannot hear her other than a slight whisper on top of Taylor in the post chorus. It sounds like A Gnomeo and Juliet song by Lady Gaga and Elton John and even that song is actually good

I'm listening to it and I'm liking it so far! Wow. I never thought I'd ever say that about a Taylor Swift song since I didn't like any of the ones I listened throughout the years . I'll come back later with the final thoughts! HAHA

I used to blast Niandra LaDes at 1000x volume throughout high school, and I never got tired of it, so you might be right . I did listen to it and I don't really like it, it kind of sounds like a Lana unreleased but not that much. 

Almost unidentifiable and unheardable. The song is quite bad as well, IMO. A good listen to anything from Niandra Lades is 100× more worthy of your time, if you ask me 😅

I might listen to Midnights. It's the first time I'm interested by her visuals. I've never listened to any album by her before. Let's see where this goes.

you can definitely identify/hear her voice, and there’s a part in the harmonies where it’s mostly her for a few lines, but she doesn’t have a ton of spotlight on her
 
however i do think that the harmonies are what really makes the song 
 
id say give it a try, if you don’t like it, oh well, 4 minutes wasted 

I remember hearing HTD for the first time live and thought how beautiful that was (with just the piano). The album version came out, and it was not what everyone was expecting .

"Once you get over the disappointment of Lana Del Rey's appearance on "Snow On The Beach" being nothing more than some background cooing, the music comes into focus."

Every review is pointing this out 

Please radiate Jack Antonoff from the music industry. It all sounds like Reputation/Lover trying to be Melodrama but that sound is old af

currently has one of the lowest user ratings on albumoftheyear.org from her albums, even behind Lover

I trust that more than bought reviews in major magazines.
