Kintsugi:
 

im still convinced the DNC stands for do not care cuz she did not care how that outfit looked...

Yet this isn’t a work of reinvention. ‘Candy Necklace’ meanders through some familiar Lana themes, depicting Gatsby esque visions of high society.
 
This is from the Clash review. First glitch-pop and now "Gatsby esque visions of high society"? Did we listen to the same track?

me when

So: was the global listening party the 'surprise'? 

She spilled.

yall are freaking out over nothing, i think it's obvious that she meant that the video she posted was filmed at 5AM working on the song 

no <3

Lana has proven hundreds of times that she can write a gorgeous melody.
 
 

The WW3 in this thread today.

and is this "glitch-pop" in the room with us right now?

the listening party

The Gigwise reviewer being the one who kept it real
 
 
 

I knew this was gonna happen the minute everyone started deluding themselves into thinking this album was going to get a 10  from pitchfork and an 88+ on metacritic 

A week before release, we’re brought into a record label office basement to listen to Lana Del Rey's new album to review. There are drinks and snacks; the crunchy kind, to be chomped on during the masterpiece. We settle in, someone hits play and the tinny speakers deliver the album without much more fanfare or care than you would playing it for the millionth time through your cheap in-ear headphones. People go to the toilet missing entire tracks, twiddle thumbs, scribble notes. We listen once, and leave to give it a rating and comment on its merit. We’re the critics, and when Lana sings “I know you hate me” on the final track, it feels pointed. But it’s a wonder that she doesn’t hate us more."
 
this self sabotage... this is the type of shit ben and ed shouldn't allow to happen as managers

Here's to hoping someone gets their hands on a CD today and rips Candy Necklace 

I really don’t think this album is gonna be liked as a whole unless you are a Lana fan. I do think taco truck, let the light in, peppers, and fishtail could possibly be a tiktok hit but other than that this a weird mostly inaccessible album to gp and to critics, and I really don’t want people about to off themselves because pitchfork ends up giving it a 6-8 and some tiktok stan says they don’t like Kintsugi 

ya wtf is that about? 
 
i wonder if the streaming version is going to be different? which is what all of the fuss with that song has been about maybe.
 
if it is i will be SO mad  

I can’t believe they were herded into a room and forced to listen on tinny speakers  And that people were able to miss entire tracks yet still review the whole body of work? I don’t have any knowledge of this kind of thing, so maybe that’s standard, but even if it is wtf??
 
The Gigwise reviewer gets it, and is so real for laying out how it all happened. And she’s def a Lana stan lol. Lucy, are you on LB?
