NFR did 15 million when she has just 19 million monthly listeners. Now she has over 41 million and doing the same numbers? A mess 💀. Where are those people? That ratio is TERRIBLE.
 

This is a Miley Cyrus/Sam Smith disaster .

Whenever you make these posts I imagine you foaming at the mouth while you're typing

I love Paris, Texas, but I'm honestly surprised that it's become one of the most popular album tracks. I really wasn't expecting that 

Love it <3 Pretty accurate if I do say so myself

The visualizer is so simple and yet so beautiful. It has such a clear aesthetic direction. I genuinely cannot wait to see this video, especially knowing that Rich Lee directed it 

I'm somehow even more excited for the Candy Necklace video than I already was. Using the screen test as a visualizer is such a cool idea. It really reminds me of Marilyn Monroe's screentest for Something's Got To Give mixed with something straight out of a 1930s-40s noir film

These are stunning  Using the pink one 

I remember thinking that having Candy Necklace right in between two interludes was an odd choice when the tracklist first got announced, but it works so well. The Judah Smith interlude following A&W is such a powerful and poignant choice, and then it falls right into Candy Necklace. The Jon Batiste interlude follows Candy Necklace perfectly as well. I'm not usually one to go back and listen to the interludes just whenever, but I really think I'm going to do with the Jon interlude

This was my prediction ranking omg: 

1. Paris, Texas

2. Kintsugi

3. Let The Light In

4. A&W

5. The Grants

6. Taco Truck 

7. Grandfather

8. Ocean Boulevard

9. Peppers

10. Fingertips

11. Candy Necklace

12. Sweet

13. Fishtail

14. Margaret

15. Jon Batiste Interlude

16. Judah Smith Interlude

I was somehow so right and yet so wrong at the same time 

This is where I'm at post release: 

1. Ocean Blvd

2. Honeymoon

3. NFR

4. Chemtrails

5. Lust for Life

6. AKA

7. Ultraviolence

8. Born To Die 

9. Blue Banisters

10. Paradise

The fact that even my least favorite songs on the album are still on repeat. There is genuinely not a single song on this album I don't like. I feel like it was made for me

Listening to the album on shuffle and Peppers came on after Fingertips 

Angelina Jolie when she hears Peppers

Let The Light In literally sounds like the sections of the Freak music video where Lana and FJM are in the hills and playing music 

Get high...drop acid...never die...not tonight....LAKE PLACID

I love how surfy Peppers and Taco Truck are

The album progresses so well. Grandfather is this massive, triumphant moment in the album and then the final five tracks that follow are such fun songs

TASTE 

I literally cannot shut up about that song. The lyrics, the vocals, the build up. Everything about it is just perfect 

Grandfather might be fighting Heroin for my favorite Lana song ever...

I feel like this album balances upbeat tracks with darkness so well. Everything just fits together so well. I can't get enough of it 

There truly are not enough words that can accurately describe the complex beauty of this album. I'll have to post a full length review later, but for now, I just truly cannot explain how much I love this album. It's my favorite Lana album to date. She has truly outdone herself in my opinion. Here's my current ranking: 

1. Grandfather

2. Candy Necklace

3. Let The Light In 

4. Fingertips 

5. Taco Truck x VB

6. A&W

7. Fishtail

8. Kintsugi

9. Ocean Blvd

10. Peppers

11. The Grants

12. Paris, Texas

13. Margaret 

14. Sweet 

15. Jon Batiste Interlude

16. Judah Smith Interlude 

I’m so excited that we’re getting a video for Candy Necklace  I’ve had this vision in my head of a black and white, almost dark noir, rainy video for the song since I heard it, so it’s exciting we’re actually going to have something for it. I love that Rich Lee is directing it as well

I'd love for Lana to work with Jon Batiste again. The work they did together on Ocean Boulevard is spectacular and I think it'd be really exciting to see what else they can create 

I say this thread can burn to the ground this pre-release has been a nightmare for everyone  Very excited for the album to be officially released everywhere. I still fully stand by it being my favorite Lana album to date

I literally have not seen a single person hating on Fingertips at all lol. It's just not going to be everyone's favorite, and that's all good too. In fact, even the people who don't particularly love Fingertips are praising its lyrics and the importance of it lol. 

I wasn't being serious  Ofc I know that everyone has different opinions, I'm just kidding around lol. I never said it needs to be everyone's favorite I don't think it needs to be. It's not even my favorite on the album

@ Fingertips haters
