Ocean Boulevard

This woman NEVER fails to impress me I'm so fucking excited!!!

Lana in a floral blouse on the lawn of a country club, blowing kisses towards the camera with the country club (american flag on top) and blue sky and ‘chem trails’’ in the background. Maybe some plastic pink flamingos

I can see a return of the iconic line in the cock in the cock in the cockpit I'm your pilot  for this album

Consequence of Sound listed this album for the 5th September as well. Does it mean that it really will come out on a Saturday? Just curious bc usually albums got released on a Friday... Lana said 5th but  I thought she actually meant 4th September but no matter what it's only 4 months and I'm excited !!!

I mean Looking for America wasn't bad but yeah let's hope it will be not political or at least only slightly political ...but hope is a dangerous thing after all

please god let this be raw and emotional and over the top like UV. The title gives me hope

Me moving into this thread
 

i cant wait to have COCC in my hands.

This era has started way sooner that i anticipated i really didn't think we would hear anything about this album until at least the end of the year, especially during this quarantine cus i thought she's gonna be promoting her poetry first. So excited!

A portrait/ painted cover would be a really good idea...
 
Imagine it would be a lighter blue background which faints into a darker blue or something...and in the middle is a beautiful painting of Lana or just of her body above her boobs (lol) and then she is surrounded by little planes and chemtrails around her head.. and at the bottom of the cover would be symbols for the country club...horses or something  that has to do with golf or maybe a whole painted mini country club..and small rich looking people who are looking scared or are screaming... the chemtrails could be a metaphor for danger or sth....

If you click on TBA by her name on Sept 5th it just links to the story a few days ago. Their source is Lana not the record company.

I'd honestly LOVE a milky pearlescent kind:

SO so so excited for this. I’m ready for dark and twisty Lana.

I liked WHF as a title but bitch when she dropped the album name in her IG Video I was like "Wtf is going on"
But yeah the title starts to grow on me already and think that is better than WHF
I'm so excited for the lyrics ...aah

I found the walking the stairs to the beach video with the poem relaxing. I truly love that poem.

NFR! is a great album and actually every song is so good.
1.Venice Bitch
This song is a trip, an experience, a masterpiece!
2. California
Idk why but I love this song so much and I can really feel the longing in this song . Beautiful verses but bitch I could stuck in the pre chorus + chorus forever. It was my most played song of 2019
3. Fuck it I luuh you
Always loved this song but yeah it aged like fine wine and is in my top 3 now
Love the surfy feel to it. THE OUTRO! She did that !
4. Mariners Apartment Complex
An instant classic. Love love the lyrics
5. Cinnamon Girl
Idk why but I really love this song. It puts me in a specific mood, love her voice in it and yeah the outro is pretty good and give me BTD vibes which is nice. But still think that the version Lana teased had more bass in it or her car has a really good sound system
6. The greatest
The end of the world feeling...and love the lyrics ....this song hits different during the quarantine...
7. Love Song
Soft but BEAUTIFUL. Some of you call it the weakest of the album but it so beautiful
8.Bartender
Aged like fine Wine oh wait we are not drinking wine but its a fine song like the cherry coke you serve...hahahaha
9.The Next Best American Record
The demo is still superior but it's interesting how her feelings for Barrie have changed. From "You did it all for fame" to " It was just that good". Sonically it is a good song though and yeah in the beginnig it was weird to listen to it bc of the demo
10. Doin' Time
A bop! Love that Lana gave us something to dance before she destroys us with the following tracks!
11. How to disappear
Well this song was my least fav for an amount of time but suddenly I started to like it and it's such a dreamy track. The instrumental part is beautiful and really enjoy the storytelling
12 . Happiness is a butterfly
Nice song. Glad that they put some instrumentals in it. Don't get me wrong I can enjoy Lana over a piano but the instrumentals added something to the atmosphere of the song and otherwise I think something would be missing.
13. Hope is a dangerous thing.....
Okay Hope is not a bad song. But I have to be in a specific mood to enjoy that song and it has not much replay value for me. Beside the album I only listen to it on a winter walk when it snows. It somehow fits the mood of the song. It's a good song and love her vocals at the end. If it would be Winter right now Hope would be on a higher place
14. Norman Fucking Rockwell
For me it is her weakest title track. The only part of the song that I really like is the outro and everytime she sings blue. Glad that they put the horns in it. They are amazing and somehow save the song for me. Can see why it's the title track and like the idea. Don't dislike the song and yeah over the last weeks/months the song has grown a little bit on me but still get bored especially by the chorus and during the 2nd verse. Sorry to say that but don't really get a connection to this song and it feels kinda 'lazy' and if this song would not be by Lana I wouldn't have tried to like it. But yeah the song is okay I guess. The funniest thing is that I liked the song for a short time after it's release but yeah it didn't aged that well.

Chemtrails Over the Country Club reminds me a lot of Mariners Apartment Complex as a quirky and unusual title.

Not that important but I finally recalled myself that she said hope is coming 7th and it came out 9th of January. Probably same with an album coming 4th and not 5th.

I'm sure, considering Lana's newfound angst, WHF will be richer in sound and will have more depth (but still in LDR-Jack fashion)

But for real, I'm by no means a sound engineer. I think I'm just an audiophile.
 
But, to me there's something kinda flat or muffled, and quite frankly, iffy about the overall sound quality of this album, like the record quality or mastering process gave this album this kind of flat/dry type of sound? I don't mean to beat a dead horse as I've made my point on several occasions in the pre and post release threads and even in the White Hot Forever/LDR7 thread, but I'm just not a fan of this type of sound. It's just kind of muffled and for a lack of a better word "cheap". I also think that for the most part the album cruelly lacks bass or beat to complement or create depth in sound, I don't know. It's very "off the shelf" there's not the same attention to detail sonically speaking. By all means, it's an alright album, but there's something just so beige, basic and/or simple about it, especially the production. Sorry, not sorry.
 
I feel like with her past records, especially the first three, there was a sense of intensity and grandeur in the sound? 'Born To Die' and 'Paradise' had that crisp/clear type of sound on each tracks, some say it's overproduced, and I could agree to that to a certain extent, but it just sounded like a really slick and clean pop record.
 
'Ultraviolence' was very atmospheric, I am a fan of the raw type of sound, I feel like the instrumentation on the album is intricate, intense and superb. I love that, and this is according to both Dan and Lana, the songs were recorded with a live band. Someone said in the LDR7 thread recently that it's once-in-a-lifetime record and I very much agree with that.
 
'Honeymoon' has got to be her most lush album as far as production goes. There's something just really beautiful and balanced, yet again intricate, about the way the album sounds, it's like the perfect mix of a classical/movie score type of sound and modern trap beats? It's just very beautiful, lush, elegant and cinematic.
 
I won't really get into how I feel about 'Lust for Life' as I think that the album is just kind of all over the place artistically speaking, but for the most part even the songs I don't like I think as far as audio goes, they sound good. But I was not a fan of how the trap beats were just overused here, kinda cheapened the whole experience. There are highs and lows on the album, but the songs I really like on there, they sound great.
 
So yeah, and this is very personal, I'm just not a fan of the so called 'NFR' sound.

@ where you at
