Chemtrails Over the Country Club - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll
Elle replied to Elle's topic in Post-Release Threads
Last weekend, two friends and I listened to COTCC while sitting around a bonfire at night, and it really was a perfect setting. I would recommend doing something similar! It's more of a nature album than a city album, and more of a night album than a day album x -
Here is the complete set of 20 photos, also added up OP:

Chemtrails Over the Country Club - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll
Elle replied to Elle's topic in Post-Release Threads
Since it’s been a week & a day since Chemtrails was released, I thought I’d finally give my thoughts now that I’ve given the album proper time to settle. I’ve given the album about 30 listens all the way through so far, so I sort of know what my thoughts are. First off, this just screams ‘end of summer, transitioning into autumn album. The original September release date would have been absolutely perfect, as this album would be a great play from September – November and I really look forward to hearing it then. Last weekend, my friend and I saw another friend for his birthday, and the three of us sat around a bonfire outside while I played Chemtrails and it fit the mood just perfectly. In my opinion, this album features some of her, perhaps even her definite, best vocals. Yosemite is just insane all around with her vocals in the very best way. Not All Who Wander Are Lost also features those gorgeous high vocals she does so flawlessly. The singing style on the bridge of Dance Till We Die is one of the best moments of the whole album, and I hope she makes more songs where the entirety is in the style of the bridge. Dark But Just a Game is a career highlight. Anyone who disagrees with me here is just simply wrong. Immediately, the production on the verses and chorus reminded me of two separate songs, but I couldn’t quite place my finger on it. The verses sort of remind me of Adele’s version of Lovesong, but that’s not exactly what I’m thinking of. It’ll come to me one day in the middle of the night, I’m sure of it. Either way, this was an immediate favourite and I really, really hope she makes more songs in this sort of style. I’m also glad to see Breaking Up Slowly finally getting some praise here and there, because I really do love this song and I knew I would. I’ve become quite the Nikki Lane fan after seeing her open for Lana in Wichita during the NFR Midwest leg, and I think her harmonies with Lana sound really pretty. I’ve been anticipating this song since the live snippets in October, and it lived up to my expectations. I’m also glad Zella Day finally got her moment with Lana. I’ve been a huge Zella Day fan for the past 6+ years, so I’m so happy they finally have a song together (I just wish it was an original rather than a cover!) I haven’t quite decided where Chemtrails lands in my overall album ranking, but it’s somewhere in the middle. I do feel though that with time, this album will crawl its way to an upper spot, especially when autumn hits and it really fits the time of the season. Here’s my track ranking (subject to change over time), with 1 being my favourite: 1. Dark but Just a Game 2. Tulsa Jesus Freak 3. Breaking Up Slowly 4. Yosemite 5. Wild at Heart 6. White Dress 7. Dance Till We Die 8. Chemtrails Over the Country Club 9. Let Me Love You Like a Woman 10. Not All Who Wander Are Lost 11. For Free Something I will say about this album though is that the track order seems so weird to me. Songs like “Wild at Heart” & “Dark but Just a Game” seem like such obvious closing tracks, so it’s super odd and comes off as out of place to me that they’re both right in the middle. Also, the actual closer “For Free” seems much more like mid-track, like a little interlude. White Dress also just doesn’t seem like a proper opener either. As beautiful as it is, I just feel like it doesn’t set the tone of the album either thematically or sonically. I know it’s one of the more unpopular songs, but out of all the songs on the album, “Let Me Love You Like a Woman” strikes me as the most “opener”-esque. I think that thought is really because of how the song both begins and ends. The ending is so abrupt, that it’s almost like a pre-lude to the story she’s about to tell. Especially if it were to be followed by Chemtrails, I feel like those songs would be really nice back-to-back together to start the album. & that opening line from LMLYLAW, “I come from a small town, how ‘bout you?” really is so fitting for the album and would’ve been a great way to open it. I reordered the album to what makes more sense to me and have been listening to it in a playlist & have really been enjoying this order, but I'm still experimenting with it: Overall though, really love this album. I love how all of her albums are distinctly different, she truly is capable of anything. Can't wait to see what's to come next, and will be happily enjoying this album in the mean time x -
Actually, it's the best song from BTD, and deserves its spot to be honoured xx Off to the Races - 43 Video Games - 56 Million Dollar Man - 51

The objective of the game is to have your favourite song have the most points. To add a point to the song you want to win, you must take a point away from another song (assumingely from your least favourite song of the bunch) Copy and paste the list from the post above yours, and make your adjustments.Then, indicate the change you made by colour-coding it or using + & - Once a song reaches 0, it's removed from the poll. The last song remaining wins! x So, for example: Dreamer (feat. Starrah & RAYE) - 17 3AM (Pull Up) [feat. MØ] - 8 Blame It on U - 15 Roll with Me - 38 Emotional - 25 ILY2 - 7 White Roses - 15 Babygirl (feat. Uffie) - 6 Drugs (feat. ABRA) - 17 Indicates that I took a point away from Babygirl and added a point to Roll with Me. Once Babygirl reaches 0, it will be removed from the list x

Try telling Lizzy Grant this in 2010 x -
It appears to be somewhat recent! Looks like she followed him sometime within the past 5 months x

Norman Fucking Rockwell - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll
Elle replied to Elle's topic in Post-Release Threads
As Terrence said, this album really is a heartbreak album. In my opinion, this is her saddest album. So if you're in a generally happy point of your life, you may just not relate to it. With this album, you really just need to feel the emotion in the songs on a personal level to understand the full scope of it. This was a blessing and a curse for me because this album dropped during the worst point of my life, so it helped me through so much at the time, but now it's sort of hard to listen back to without all the old memories flooding back. The album is full of gorgeous songs though. The saddest songs on the album are California, Cinnamon Girl, The Greatest, and Hope. Great songs to cry & lose your mind to. How to Disappear, Norman Fucking Rockwell, Fuck it I Love You, Happiness is a Butterfly, and Mariners can be quite sad too if you're in a particular state of sad. Also, if you've just gone through a breakup, listening to the happier love songs such as Love Song & Venice Bitch will also make you cry like a baby lol. Really, the only "neutral" songs on the album are Doin' Time, The Next Best American Record, and Bartender. So yes, I would revisit this album when you're sad, and you'll probably be able to relate to it more and grow an appreciation for it. (& of course, I don't wish sadness on you! honestly, it's probably better that you can relate more to and enjoy more of her happier albums.) But again, I'm so thankful that this album came out at the right time for me to really help me through the worst time of my life, even if that means it being a little tricky to listen back to now. I really am so grateful for it x -
I replied to this on your status, but I'm also going to post my reply here in case anyone else is having your issue - Did you order your vinyl with other items and select the shipping option to ship when all the items are available? That could be a reason why nothing has shipped yet, if other items in your order aren't ready. If not, I would reach out to her team. The whole intention behind the preorders is to boost her first week sales, but in order for the sale to count for the first week, the vinyls would need to be shipped before the end of the first week. So, it would be a lose-lose situation for both you & her team if your vinyls haven't shipped already x

Benny Blanco just revealed on Zane Lowe that he wanted the song "Diamonds" he worked on with Rihanna to originally go to Lana Del Rey or Kanye West. I wonder if she ever recorded a demo for it x Article Interview
