I don't understand why is she so chaotic with the album release of her last 2 records (LFL and NFR). I really think that she did best with the album promotion of Honeymoon. She dropped the first single on August 12 and released the whole album on Sep 16, with two promotional singles between the dates. LFL was dragging 5 months, with instagram-snippets-turned-into-singles-in-front-of-us (Coahcella), the album sounded all over the place. I missed the frame in which Honeymoon was promoted and released. NFR was announced in September and will probably come out in march/april. Which makes 6 months between what we heard first from the album and the actual album. What awaits us next? 12 months gap between the first single and the album release?

I really loved Venice Bitch. My favorite song of hers, it doesn't get old to my ears to listen it. I never listened to any of her others songs that much without getting tired. What's the chance she serves us some of the songs like HTD and HIAB with a major VB-kind-of-a-twist with 10 minutes electric guitars? At least I hope NFR to be something like VB in this regard.

I like the second half of the HIAB snippet she posted. But I hate the first snippet where she sings about tour life. I think this song is actually NFR, because it fits the main mood: "you write, I tour, we make it work" a.k.a. happines is a butterfly. Also, I hate Hope is a dangerous think. Don't like the lyrics. The music is... boring. But I can see the aesthetic she wants and it fits. I hope this is her next best record. I was disappointed by LFL.

My sorting of the tracks looks like this: 1 Tomorrow Never Came 2 White Mustang 2 Summer Bummer 4 Heroin 5 13 Beaches 6 Lust for Life 7 Love 8 Get Free 9 Cherry 10 Groupie Love 10 Change 12 In My Feelings 13 Coachella - Woodstock In My Mind 13 God Bless America - And All the Beautiful Women In It 13 When the World Was At War We Kept On Dancing 13 Beautiful People Beautiful Problems

While I was in the office I saw the leak. Then on the ride home listened to White Mustang and Heroine in the car. Wow, they sound both great. Then on my way to workout heard on the headphones 13 beaches and TNC. I think the song with Sean is one of the most beautiful things I heard. Cherry sounds awful. I hope it's not the version we'll have on the record.
