Or maybe people just have different opinions? Why does everything have to be “you’re right and I’m wrong” on internet discussions these days? I’ve been a Lana fan since 2012 and Born to Die is probably literally one of my most played albums of all time. Yet, right now, Ocean Blvd is my favorite album of all time and I haven’t changed that #1 album for me since 2016. Just because Ocean Blvd doesn’t fit your tastes but it fits mine doesn’t mean you’re right and I’m wrong or vice versa. We have different opinions.

i remember that in the pre-release thread someone said something like ''wait until 2 weeks after the album release and then all the praise will be gone ''. and holy shit was that person right. and btw, whoever is saying she didn't do anything new in Ocean Blvd is either lying or tone-deaf. 

people complain that the album is not like her old music
people complain that the album didn’t include anything new

Honestly I can get some look at OB this way but saying it didn't include anything new is wrong on so many levels for me. There are songs including a whole new and different kind of sound -far distant from the piano ballad-y style of BB and COCC- let's just take A&W, Taco Truck x VB, Peppers, but also Candy Necklace. Maybe it's not a whole revolution of the style she has perfected during the previous three or two albums, nor a clear detachment from it, but for sure there are some new aspects to her music that she had not fully developed yet before OB

This is the worst take ive ever read 

Blue Banisters is my least favorite Lana album. I kinda loathe it as an album overall. To me, there are just very few highs and some of her lowest lows. And it does feel like she just came up with the style of Blue Banisters, Wildfire Wildflower, and Text Book, but didn’t have much more to add, so she just threw in a bunch of unreleased songs that didn’t fit in elsewhere. Idk, it just feels messy, unfinished, underdeveloped…
 
I do listen to a good amount of the songs regularly because I made a “Blue Chemtrails” playlist which combines my favorites from COTCC and BB. And that playlist does fill a niche in Lana’s discography for me of just slower, calmer music I can have on in the background. But I still have a love/hate relationship with some of the songs I even have on this playlist (Blue Banisters, Wildflower Wildfire, Black Bathing Suit). 
 

I know this isn’t a Chemtrails thread, but it’s hard not to compare them when they came out the same year and when I associate them with each other. Even with Chemtrails having quite a few weak tracks and only being 11 tracks total, that album still just feels so much more focused,  developed, and purposeful than Blue Banisters does. The first three tracks on Chemtrails kinda obliterates the very large majority of songs on BB alone. 
 
All that being said, I’m just glad Lana has created Ocean Blvd because Chemtrails and BB had me questioning my trust in her artistic vision a bit, which isn’t a good feeling when you’ve been a consistent fan for a decade and have never really been disappointed. I still appreciate that BB exists and I can listen to it, but another part of me thinks I would’ve been happier as a fan if it was never released. But it’s Lana’s career and vision, not mine. And i feel bad complaining about having more music when I could’ve had less, but also, quality > quantity. 

daddy, I miss them 

daddy, I miss them 

know she already said that this is her first album that she disn't really have any colors in her mind to describe the album. But here are the colors that describe the songs in my mind:
 
The Grants
Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd
Sweet
A&W
Judah Smith Interlude
Candy Necklace
Jon Batiste Interlude
Kintsugi
Fingertips
Paris, Texas
Grandfather please stand on the shoulders of my father while he's deep-sea fishing
Let The Light In
Margaret
Fishtail
Peppers
Taco Truck x VB
 
 

Instrumentals of both interludes would be great.
