  1. I agree. Some of them can't write either. They can't think or express themselves except in cliches.
  2. I agree. It's too loose an arrangement. It doesn't add anything to a wonderful but very modest song about humility.
  3. https://www.showbiz411.com/2021/03/18/lana-del-rey-delivers-a-pop-masterpiece-with-hit-laden-hypnotic-new-chemtrails-over-the-country-club "Masterpiece."
  4. I agree. A straight reading of the song by Lana alone would have been preferable, or another arrangement. It's not a happy song, but LDR made it somewhat celebratory. I'm not sure it works.
  5. That's the most intense part of the album, right up there with, or superior to, some other tense moments in LDR tracks, like 'Ultraviolence,' 'Old Money,' 'Heroin' and others.
  6. Has iTunes in the U.S. always said, 'Expected March 21, 2021'? With LDR's records, I've learned to pre-order on iTunes and then wait until I receive an email from iTunes saying, "_______________________ is now ready for download."
  7. if the Louder Than War reviewer thought UV could be described wholly or partially by the words 'gothic depression,' then she can't know much about music. Depression maybe, gothic, no.
  8. I agree completely with the idea, but I don't think COCC the album is made up of outtakes--obviously Y is and perhaps NAYWAL is as well--but if so, they're better than all of NFR!, in my opinion, and the production on COCC is, to me, sterling, whereas on NFR!, it was, on several tracks, a mess. NFR! is my least favorite of her albums, despite the presence of MAC and VB.
  9. I do that routinely. I make my own version of LDR's albums, especially UV and LFL.
  10. Great. You're right, I meant 'Coyote' and 'DJRD.' Then, in that capacity, COCC the album is more like 'Hejira' the song.
  11. I agree. On headphones, as others noted just above, it's incredible, all the little additions and subtleties you pick up. I love the early trip hop LDR, but this production is immaculate.
  12. Okay. Even in that capacity, then, COCC the song is like neither 'Hejira' or 'Don Juan's Reckless Daughter,' especially since, in my opinion, 'DJRD' is just a retread of 'Hejira.' They're fraternal twins. I apologize for misquoting you.
  13. It was included in a longer sentence. It seemed sincere, perhaps only misinformed, or maybe TLM meant 11 but wrote 14.
  14. Does anyone know why one member here mentioned a 14-track COCC? I think it was Terrence Loves Me?
  15. It’s among her very very best. It’s now in my Top 3 and likely to stay there, as the other two have been in place since before HM.
