Poor Stacy

So excited to give this a listen. Very Lana with the lengths. Salivating at someone using Springsteen as a touchpoint. Strangers has been on repeat.

Not All Who Wander Are Lost has been single-handedly keeping her career afloat for the past two years. Her mid-album masterpiece!

I’m honestly thrilled she’s back with Jack again. Don’t get me wrong, I love a lot of the material on Blue Banisters and it’s still a fascinating album as a whole to me, but maybe aside from the title track, none of it reaches the highs she and Jack attained on NFR and Chemtrails. I’m excited that if they’re working together again, Lana’s getting him to the “weirder” place she initially wanted out of Chemtrails, just for this new album. Yes, he made flop albums with Clairo and Lorde (Sling was horrendous…), but he works so well with girls like Lana and Taylor. I’m fairly certain Sling was an album of dry, flavorless acoustic demos and Jack had to polish shit, and well. Shit is still shit. Which is why that album is forgotten. You can’t seriously like Sling and hate Chemtrails, I’m sorry…

Should I get the white or grey vinyl, besties? I know the clear red's already sold out, and I don't like the way the opaque one looks. Is there a chance of one selling out sooner?

I love her mind so much. Queen!

I swear if this actually comes in March I will buy every variant available (although let's be real, it'll be digital only for a year )

Reads both optimistic and sad. Letting go of dreams you had for yourself to trust your life's journey and wherever fate leads you? Idk. Maybe I'm just projecting.

She was definitely shading the fuck out of those covers. But I feel like she’s teasing Rock Candy Sweet with the emojis…

Fiona 3 years (Jul. 1996 - Nov. 1999) 5 years (Nov. 1999 - Oct. 2005) 6 years (Oct. 2005 - Jun. 2012) 7 years (Jun. 2012 - Apr. 2020) Sky? 8 years + (Oct. 2013 - Present) Fiona's never had a bigger gap than this between albums.

Awwwww.

- A Star for Nick - Pawn Shop Blues - Summertime Sadness - Ride - West Coast - Salvatore - Summer Bummer - Venice Bitch - White Dress - Dealer

Hahahaha, loves it. Hopefully we can get our queen back to 80 on MC!

@lustforlife Where's the Paste review, babe?

Listening to Living Legend and I'm still dead that she thinks she was doing a sax... Let me just enjoy this vocalized guitar solo and move on.

Aging myself a little, but I agree. It felt fresh in the '90s with Lil' Kim, Foxy Brown, etc. but nowadays it all comes off super stale and redundant for some reason. The only girl who actually pulls it off effortlessly for me is Rihanna.

you had me in the first half, lol

I actually really loved it, too, especially what they wrote about Text Book.

Still claiming the title track today (it's hit even harder for me with the full album for some reason??), but Violets For Roses is also doing things to me lately.

how do you know??

He posted the cover on his IG story the day it was released and wrote "Beautiful", so I don't think there's any beef/drama.

Yeah, we don't know why, but when she had her IG, he still followed her and liked pretty much all of her posts. He still follows Charlie and Chuck, too.

I'd argue this is like... in her top 5 emotional moments of her discography. It's painfully bittersweet.

These are the colors I see when I listen to them: Text Book (brown) Blue Banisters (blue) Arcadia (cream) The Trio - Interlude (desert sunset) Black Bathing Suit (deep rust) If You Lie Down With Me (maroon) Beautiful (light gray) Violets For Roses (evergreen) Dealer (smoky dark gray) Thunder (rich red) Wildflower Wildfire (orange) Nectar of the Gods (tan) Living Legend (sandy) Cherry Blossom (icy blue) Sweet Carolina (gold)

The merch is absolutely gorgeous. It's too bad we're all getting it late! Mine won't be here until mid-November. Frustrating!

Can't stand Phoebe Bridgers. She reminds me of every alt girl who went to art school, wrote shitty bland indie music, was desperate for attention but would never openly admit it, and thought they were so funny/witty/cool.
