Very that.

I think that referencing past lyrics is different than reusing the same melodies, chord/vocal progressions, and I'm not saying I hate those on the new album, as in there is not a song that stands out as being particularly bad, but it kinda feels like "wait a minute I've heard this before on NFR & Chemtrails". For instance, she did reference her red party dress a few times before (or the moonlight) but it was kinda cute, now she's like straight up reusing melodies, vocal/chord progression in plain sight. People gave her grief for How to disappear & Wild at Heart sounding very similar, but this time around it's just as obvious. I don't think it makes the music sound bad, or make her particularly lazy, but it's definitely there and it's a choice.

That's an interesting take, don't think she was with that man when she recorded the song in 2018, but anyway. Not sure what there was to reclaim, pretty sure she just wanted to put it out there how Venice Bitch initially/could've sounded like. If you love it, you love it. I reckon that a full Taco Truck song would've been awesome.

Okay love that for you then, but let's agree to disagree miss Mimi Imfurst. I think Venice Bitch is an amazing song on its own and it already existed in its own unique and iconique way prior to this album coming out. Taco Truck would've been an amazing song on its own as well. She didn't elevate either songs, reusing something that was already perfect, choices were made. I've been seeing a lot of Tik Tok edits switching VB for Radio and I actually think this would've been a better fit, harkening us back to her BTD days. A&W worked for me, because they were both fresh pieces of music mashed together, but they tried to repeat this feat on the same album with a different song we had already heard prior, and I don't think it worked as well. I find that it was a "cheap" way to close a seemingly great album. To each is own.

I personally find it odd that she sampled songs that were released/recorded like 2-3 years ago? Not sure if that's laziness/artistic laziness, or the result of working with more or less the same team for four albums in a row, but the album is just very sample heavy. My main complaint is that she completely botched the closing track and did the song a disservice. Like Venice Bitch on its own is a career highlight, but the remix just sounded cheap/corny to me. Taco Truck, even though it goes back to your comment about Lana heavily sampling in her own/past work on this record, started off amazing and could've been a remarkable song on its own, but the song has this mod podged feeling to it and not in a good way. In hindsight, all these insiders saying the album sounded fresh and like nothing we had heard before, well that was kind of a half-truth, as you can clearly hear a lot of her past work (and especially the recent one) in these new songs. The album is still good though.

Taco Truck is hitting especially hard tonight, really wish she had made it its own song, it would've been a top 3 contender.

I'm so invested in this drama, this is not a good look

I did not who Nick Waterhouse was prior to this album coming out, but he co-produced Candy Necklace and that's all I need to know.

Manifesting the next album to be produced by Mike Hermosa, Zach Dawes, Nick Waterhouse and also Rick Nowels. It's time to part ways with Jack Antonoff, thank you for NFR, Chemtrails and A&W, but yeah we've heard the range. I'm ambivalent about the piano in her music, I think it can work and it did work very well on Candy Necklace, the vibe in this song is impeccable. I want more or that sound & the theatrics.

This pre-release era already feels like a fever dream, the dramatics and meltdowns

She's so real

We're waiting.

It's pretty obvious critics won't ever suck her artistic dick as much as they did for NFR.

There will be daily tickets available sometime in April, but those will also quickly sell out. I'll keep you posted if you are interested.

Well, thank God I bought a ticket, because all of 125k passes have sold out already.

I have one T-Shirt and it's like the standard low tier type of fabric, the printed label faded after a few cycles in the washing maching--but the actual print on the t-shirt holds up well.
