I can’t get over how amazing her vocals sound on the title track... they’re just as good as her vocals on HM. That song has grown to be one of my faves after the official release. During the time I was listening to the HQ leak I considered it one of the weaker songs on the album, but boy was I wrong.

Yes, it truly is something else. Might be my favorite album opener from her. So gorgeous.

wow taste 

 

a girl can dream

I'd like her to fully embrace the psychodelia of VB for the next record and mix it up with dream pop and some ambient.

In my honest opinion, it's her blandest-t-t  piano track ever. I can see why y'all like it... but I don't like Tori Amos or Kate Bush at all so...

 

Video Games

Bel Air

Old Money

Riverside

Change

 

They all outsold as piano ballads

That's the only part I don't really dig that much. The "bart-t-t-tender" one.

I feel like Change drags a little at the end, but that's just my opinion. Riverside is so gorgeous

Also, you're from Buenos Aires? Hiii

Bartender is not bland, y'all need to get your ears checked.

omg where's the technical issues, i wanna listen to them

I think in the first verse of Cinnamon for instance, when she sings "you try to push me out..." her voice becomes more clear as if she was singing from another mic or it was recorded in another take. HTD has some volume changes or something. Some minor stuff I'm sure they noticed but decided not to fix them.

Im with you on that. Truly her most personal honest record. There are so many nuances. Like the sounds of car zooming/seagulls or waves crashing. Or the Ooohhss in the THE GREATESTTTTT's guitar solo. .

Yess, it's just so beautifully made. I don't mind the technical issues some people are mentioning, the melodies are just so sweet and magical, she has never sounded this good.

I'm sorry UV baby but you have been replaced, this is her magnum opus and that's that on that.

Wheww, that reaction by Ajay was everything. I’m so happy she loved the album, just as I expected.

I was a tad surprised, I didn't think she was going to enjoy it that much but she basically was crying and screaming for 40 minutes lmao

body electric aint it sis

Thank youuuuu. Body Electric bores me to tears.

I'm so happy this thread exists.

I still don't understand why Venice Bitch isn't the album closer.

NFR sounds like and a warm hug

Unnnngh this comment is killing me.....(I'm not listening to anything til the album's release), I'll have to get back to you on that but you have excited me

Please do! There's just something about it that reminded me of two songs in particular. Seventh Tree is stunning. Such a tender and beautiful album. <3

Didn't know about this album till now, but being the first song named "Clowns", surely you'll be right! -Loving it, by the way-

Yes!! Lmaooo I was just going to say that. LMAO

It's a lovely album.

Does anyone else get Goldfrapp's "Seventh Tree" vibes on the title track? Or is it just me?.

Of course it was gonna leak from a fucking cassette. I mean. This entire era was/is an incredible M E S S so this makes perfect sense. Also I wonder if Lana really cares, didn't she say once "I kinda don't have a plan about the release" or something? So maybe this is all on purpose idk.

I honestly think she doesn't care that much about the album leaking.

Sistersss don't send me a dl link, absolutely not.

Also, who is that girl having a breakdown? I need to see that lol

Girlies what's happening, I'm lost

I'm excited for all of them. Except the new BAR. I tried to ignore it but I don't like that change in the lyrics at all.

omg not again with this boring eclipse drama

Yeeees violet bent backwards over the grass coming thruuuuu
