    People will stone me for saying this, but Fingertips is the worst song on any LDR record. I would lump it with the Trio, Guns and Roses and Coachella, but I'd rather listen  to those three than Fingertips. Just my opinion. I hope she stops the idea of "automatic singing" and goes back to writing actual songs.

    MARGARET AT 12 AND PEPPERS AT 10 OH LORD—
    DYK above A&W and Sweet? 😭 I agree with Kintsugi, Let The Light In, Fishtail, Taco Truck, and Paris, Texas's placements

     

    Spoiler

    To be fair, 1-10 on my ranking are all 9+/10 for me, Margaret and Paris Texas are 8/10 and 7.5/10 respectively, so safe to say I love them all !:true:

    I've listened to the album 5/6 times now, I'm confident this will be my official ranking. Candy Necklace will probably push #4 and #5 down one or just #5. I can't imagine my top three changing.

    I haven't listened to the leak, but I don't mind reading spoilers. I have a question...

      Hide contents

    Are the Kintsugi lyrics as personal and revealing as the Fingertips lyrics? Are the two songs somehow similar in sound, themes explored, etc? I remember she described them both as wordy, but not sure what to expect from Kintsugi

     

    Spoiler

    Less revealing, but just as personal if that makes sense. Kintsugi is very cathartic, she's working through generational issues in more of an abstract way. Fingertips, still abstract, is straight up devastating and revealing about painful memories and talks about her entire family.

    Fingertips track by track review for @Jeanne Dielman, @DCooper, and whoever else asked (I'm taking a break from this forum after reading some of the most braindead & hypocritical shit takes I've ever read on this forum)

     

    Spoiler

    1. The Grants

    I wasn't really the biggest fan of this track when it first came out. It didn't really hit me in the same way as the other two pre-release singles, and definitely felt a little short. However, in context of the album, it flourishes. Super essential opening track and gently guides us through the incoming themes of the record.

    7.5 on first listen, 9 after the album leaked.

     

    2. Did you know that there's a tunnel under ocean blvd?

    One of my favorite tracks from LDR. Lyrically, a highlight in her career. The build up at the end is still mindblowing.

    10/10

     

    3. Sweet

    One of the tracks that needs reparations from the insider's opinions. Much deeper and more complex than the simple and surface level "love song." Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful and definitely not inconsequential 

    9/10

     

    4. A&W

    Everyone knows that I wasn't the biggest cheerleader for this song when it dropped, but it truly is an excellent track and works even better in context.

    10/10

     

    8. Kintsugi

    Second track that needs reparations from BoZo and frenemy @111 Stunning, strange, and definitely one of my favorites. Might be the slowest track in Lana's released catalog, but for that, I appreciate it and find the emotional payoff to be worth it

    10/10

     

    9. Fingertips

    What can I say that I haven't already? Devastating and beyond gorgeous. Never heard a Lana track like this before. Very Tori/Fiona/Kate Bush.

    10/10

     

    10. Paris, Texas

    My least favorite song on the album. It's very good, don't get me wrong, but definitely not my cup of tea.

    7.5/10

     

    11. Grandfather...

    RIOPY's description of this song feeling like the sea, and seeing the "liquid blue" of the ocean is so accurate. Sings her heart out over a very nautical soundscape and the lyrics are extremely beautiful. The older and wiser brother to Mariners Apartment Complex.

    10/10

     

    12. Let the Light In

    If someone told me this was a remastered outtake from Ultraviolence, I would believe you. What a phenomenal, bluesy/country twanged track that reminds me a little bit of a more complex IYLDWM. Father John Misty and Lana are musical soulmates, they sound beautiful together.

    10/10

     

    13. Margaret

    Really sweet song, but I don't have much to say about it. Jack sounds very much like Bon Iver on this song. The "rom com" description of the song from Rolling Stone was pretty accurate for sure. I respect it!

    8/10

     

    14. Fishtail

    HOLY MOLY. The braindead opinions about this song are why I'm taking a step back from this forum, but this is the collapse of the century. One of her greatest midtempo sultry songs to date. Black Bathing Suit and Tulsa had a beautiful baby. This is the song for the girls who get it.

    10/10

     

    15. Peppers

    Super, super, super crazy track. I never expected something like this from Lana, although it does echo some of her pre-BTD unreleased. Definitely a bop for the Geminis in the room who love the chaos!

    9/10

     

    16. Taco Truck x VB

    I don't have much to say about this one, either. It's pretty good and I love the transition to VB. 
    8/10

    Yesss, they said it dethroned Honeymoon as their favourite album :trisha: @Fingertips tell us more :flutter:

     

    Spoiler

    The album is absolutely phenomenal to me in every sense of the word. Dethroned Honeymoon as my favorite album from Lana. My only small critique is that I am not a fan of the tracklist order. I readjusted it for myself and it's perfect now. My top five tracks are Kintsugi, Fingertips, Let the Light In, Fishtail, and Grandfather. Cannot wait to hear Candy Necklace.
