Poor Stacy

Is there any way to buy a Portrait tee? Really want that. (Sorry, I haven't been able to catch up in the thread today)

yep, this is why. If BB got 80 on MC, Lana should not be having to fight to keep 80 with an album like Ocean Blvd. I get that it's a challenging album for people who aren't stans of Lana, but you can still admit it's brilliant, like ........ ?

Yep. Like I've said a hundred times, this is definitely an album for the diehard Lana fans. Maybe it'll be a cult classic down the line. But the normies and casual listeners and even BTD stans are not going to get it. Oh well. This is her deepest album yet, and quite clearly a challenging listen for some people...

it seems odd to me that it's so hard for her to stay above 80 w/ this album. Midnights cleared 85 so easily and that's honestly a piece of trash compared to this.

Grandfather can never be played just once when I listen to the album front-to-back. #instantRepeat

The back-to-back hit of Kintsugi -> Fingertips might be too much, or a breaking point for casual listeners (or BTD stans), but they're sisters. They belong together. It's the heart of the album.

I thought it was either drumsticks or Jack burping

It's kind of how iconic how completely different the first 3 songs are to the last 3. Going from Peppers to Sweet on shuffle was wild.

Not Lana sitting up and reading reviews right now. At least Pitchfork was a good one...

vlc vlkcxmvlxckmvclxkvmlvx Oh. Okay. I misinterpreted that completely. I've calmed down now. Thank you.

What in the fuck does she mean in her IG story by saying her Don't Forget Me 2:05 moment is 1:55 in Fingertips ("who hung himself real high in the National Park Sky")????

Let's not do too much. White Dress was a masterful, powerful opener.

This is so true. They're the ~delicate~ tracks on the album.

The edit in Fingertips is so disgusting. Still. That's my one complaint. Fix it, Jesus.

New username - happy release day

Side D > Side A > Side C > Side B ... but I'd never skip any of the sides, all are important

My #1.

Why'd she have to FUCK up Fingertips with that shitty edit. Lana, I swear....

we're never moving up past 80/81 at this point

One of my favorites. I have a soft spot for Ms. Sweet. Disney-fied tradwife gem.

1. Blue Banisters 2. If You Lie Down With Me 3. Black Bathing Suit 4. Violets For Roses 5. Dealer 6. Text Book 7. Arcadia 8. Cherry Blossom 9. Sweet Carolina 10. Thunder 11. Wildflower Wildfire 12. Nectar of the Gods 13. Living Legend 14. Beautiful 15. The Trio - Interlude

Of course that boxset isn't real. Her store can't even ship months-old pre-orders out on release week. You think they have deluxe vinyl box sets ready to ship?

It really does. I'm rarely overly critical of Lana's choices, but c'mon. Amateur hour to the max w/ that. It takes you out of the song - that annoys me.

Only Gigwise + The Quietus so far, but they won't be counted. Still, there are more 80s than 75/70s.
