Heroin vs. Shades of Cool

I can't sleep so I just wanna rattle off some of my favorite moments on the album

The chord progression in this gives me heavy Black Beauty vibes at the beginning, but it's very cool how the song progresses into something different entirely. Their voices sound lovely together too!

Is the leak of Get Free censored? The lyrics dropping out randomly at one point keeps bugging me.

Not gonna lie, the way she described bailing after performing at Kanye and Kim's wedding made me laugh. It's a shame that she might not be as happy as we expected at the start of this album cycle, but homegirl is obviously dealing with clinical depression of some sort, and that shit is not linear at all. Some days are good ones and some days are bad ones, and I appreciate her being so candid about what she does and does not want to talk about (namely, her issues with alcohol - every time she's promoting an album it comes up and I feel like that must be so hard for her to rehash all the time). I think she has grown a lot, for what it's worth, and her head is in the right place even if she still struggles.

1. Ultraviolence 2. Born to Die 3. Honeymoon 4. Paradise 5. Lust for Life I have a feeling LFL will eventually land equal to Honeymoon or take its place at #3, but I need some time to vibe with it

Hmm, that's though. Maybe Tekno Love Song, but I also looove South 2nd and Honey or Tar. Grey Oceans was a very mixed bag for me, it had some bangeurs (Lemonade, Smokey Taboo, Hopscotch!) but some of it is a little drab for me. I really liked the stripped down vibe of Heartache City, and Lost Girls should be so much bigger than it is. That album reminds me a lot of their first one, which I love when it doesn't sound like a minstrel parody. It's a shame they pulled that racist shit so early in their career because I really do think it fucked up their critical success.

I've been obsessed with them lately! Noah's Ark is one of my favorite albums ever, I got into it when I had a 101 fever and was high as shit off painkillers and had like a borderline religious experience lmao. I'm not as into their recent work but every album they've put out has at least a couple of solid songs.

So first listen, according to that song sorter thing, this is my ranking: 1. Get Free 2. Heroin 3. 13 Beaches 4. Groupie Love 5. Cherry 6. Lust for Life 7. Love 8. Change 9. Tomorrow Never Came 10. God Bless America 11. Beautiful People Beautiful Problems 12. Summer Bummer 13. Coachella 14. When the World Was at War 15. In My Feelings 16. White Mustang tbh I really loved 1-12. Coachella is starting to grow on me; the thin trap production for that song is very weird and some of the lyrics are cringey, but it made a lot more sense in the context of the album. WTWWAW was kind of underwhelming but not bad per se. I liked IMF's lyrics but the melody felt really clunky to me, and White Mustang felt like Lana phoning it in really badly. GOD everything else was so good though! I really like hearing elements of her earlier work mixed in with new sounds for each record she does.

Oh my gosh, did anyone else get super startled by the bridge in Heroin? I jumped, no lie.

I Only Have Eyes for You by The Flamingos would make me melt tbh
