Venice Jesus Whore

Agreed. I drove 30 minutes to get the album, and the booklet was disappointing. Good booklets are the thing I miss most about the CD era. They were such a cool, visual way to continue the world building of an era. I always loved getting new CDs as a kid and flipping through the booklet while I listened to the album. The ones with the lyrics were always my favorite. Even in the late 2000s/ early 2010s a digital copy of the booklet would be included if you bought it on iTunes. 
 
Now, Target is the only big store near me that sells CDs anymore, some artists don’t even release physical albums anymore, and the CDs I’ve gotten in recent years have had pretty disappointing, small, low effort booklets. It’s sad, especially for Lana because she’s such an album artist with different visuals for each era, and she’s had gorgeous booklets in the past. 

not me only now realizing that blackout zone = boz.

The only complaint I keep having (and it’s not about the music, but the physicals) is the booklet. What stops her and her team or whoever’s responsible from including the lyrics to all the songs? It’s disappointing to have such a great album and then checking out the booklet that turns out to only have like 3 pages 

My CDs finally arrived. They are so pretty. This is my first time ordering physical media and I couldn't be happier.
 

 
 
 
     
 

i can't believe i'm saying this but this is lowkey her best album... like fr
norman was like something made to love and this one is MUCH heavier but... it's so fucking good and risky and lyrically she's fucking killing it 
every time i'm listening to it i'm having new fav tracks and i'm finding something new i love about her vocals, production and lyrics
 
AND the way so many people (including me obv) were starting this album being unsure about if it's good or not and over next few days i'm seeing so many of them changing their minds like  i just feel like this album is out of its world
 
it's not an everyday album like norman was for sure but this is actually kinda why it's even better... if you know you KNOW

It’s my favorite part of the song 
 

I NEVER understood the uproar over this song.

I’m not sure if this has already been talked about, but read the caption of this post 

I guess unpopular opinion but I love it. I love how dark, unsettling, and eerie it feels. The production is incredible too. 

omg you’re missing my point…
not begging in a bad way… begging in a subtle way to understand what the metaphor of being sealed up and forgotten means… 
she’s literally asking ppl to use their brain cells … the album is like a tunnel and it so beautiful.  unlike most songs on the radio you are immediately passively listening to a beat and lyric. i don’t mean it in a bad way , someone find a synonym for begging 
 
in order to understand the album you have to be paying attention. you can’t subtlety listen. 

They are so real for that. 

Fingertips is the all time anti-tiktok song - you can try to take parts of it out of context, but you just end up looking like an idiot.
It's also the worst album to expect people to understand on first listen, which is why I hope the genius behind the reviewer's 'listening party' in the UK gets sent back to business school by the label. Just thinking about how this record would easily be an 85 on metacritic if the label had sent out copies instead, makes me mad.

i love how lyrically she is begging for everyone’s attention with this album 
it’s like testing the viewer/listener to actually pay attention to what she’s saying. and if you don’t, you completely miss it. it’s quite brilliant and risky in the time of tiktok where everyone wants info lightening fast. 

Hasn't she literally talked about how much she hates deluxe editions? And why split up sales like that? AND wouldn't it be her first Deluxe Edition since UV? 

Fingertips helped me calm down with panic attack…and then it made me cry. Probably my favorite song off the album

Fishtail has crack in it

“although it seems ive gotten better, i can be violent too” sounds so lizzy 

My bootleg A&W necklace is arriving Monday. 

Though I can see how the last three tracks sound like bonus tracks and it can make perfect sense to end the album at Margaret, I think the album is perfect as is. The last three tracks add a lot of dynamism to the album. I think it would’ve been too heavy of an album without them even though Margaret is a cute happy ending. Also, having the last three songs feels like the album more strongly ties into A&W which seems like the defining song on the album. The album before Margaret feels like the first half of A&W while the last three tracks feel like the second half. I wouldn’t like the album as much without the last three tracks. 

This is what we deserved from the Amazon variant
