Pico Ocean Boulevard

I’m still shook about this

After many listens  I'm able to name my Top 5 songs  :
Cinnamon Girl, Venice Bitch, California, The Greatest, Love Song
These Songs are God Tier for me and like a 11 out of 10
the rest of the fucking Album is still so good  and I love every track. No skips needed

LANA TRULY DID THIS

when the 2nd verse starts and the strings come in... its like everything in the world has stopped, i hear god 
they really snapped with the song   

i was very underwhelmed by the snippet, but the production enhancements, the added interludes, and place on the tracklist make me love it so so much

when she posted the first snippet of hiab last year i cringed so hard and was really close to unstanning...
but now hearing the full, its one of my favorites 
 
the way i switched like a fucking faggot  

I think it’s about Barrie.“I heard the war was over if you really choose... the one in and around you [...] You hate the heat, you got the blues” She’s mentioning his depression.
“You don’t ever have to act cooler than you think you should” To me, it sounds like the depression made him self-conscious and uncertain of himself. She thinks he’s enough and perfect as he is already.
“I wanted to call you up, but I didn’t say a thing” Pure speculation, but I wonder if Lana is regretting the way things ended between them (because I personally think it’s really shitty to have a paparazzi tell you your relationship is over)

My rating of the songs after a couple of days:
 
Perfect 10: VB, NFR, California, HIaB, the Greatest. Instant classics, perfect voice, perfect emotions, all climaxes on the album.
 
Gets a 9: MAC, FIILY, Bartender, Doin Time, Love Song, Cinnamon Girl, TNBAR: they all are near perfect and I can’t skip them. Even the new lines of TNBAR grew on me. The song is even more « tragic » in a sense.
 
Gets a 8: Hope Is a Dangerous Thing. Love the lyrics, perfect closer, but it’s such an intimate song and the most « mood song » of the album that you have to be in a peculiar state of mind to listen to it.
 
Between 5 and 8: HTD. Some of her best lyrics, one of the best melodies, the last part of the song is the most « cohesive » I guess. The production is a choice lol. Sometimes, I don’t hate it, sometimes I can help but slip it. I see that track as wanting to go camp (sure hope it was that intention), like a old crooner song you add beats to.

truly an international crisis

I genuinely love all 14 tracks, this is hurting me

Rated everything, even WHF.

Alright y’all here’s my take on every single song of this amazing album even though no one asked m:
 
NFR: I absolutely fell in love with the snippet Lana posted, and the beginning lyrics. Although I expected a name drop, something like ‘your head in hands as you color me blue, you think you’re Norman fucking Rockwell but you really have no clue..’ something along those lines. Luckily this is the most best PRODUCED song Imo.
MAC: honestly fell in LOVE, with this song . Kinda reminded me of Avril Lavigne’s ‘Complicated’ and overall her Let Go’ album ... which remains one of my favorites.. kinda took me back to the early 2000’s and the lyrics are remarkable .. just wish the production was louder and more grandeur for this amazing song.
Venice Bitch: never truly loved this one until it came out on the album and fit right at home. Perfect for driving but I got a DUI and no longer drive so I can’t appreciate it as much as I want to but still a gem in her discography
FIILY:
love this song due to the verses.. so honest and raw but the vocals are still sexy and cute .. wish it had a bridge though
Doin’ time :
such a fucking well done cover with an iconic video for Lana ..she honestly killed it and it deserves to be played everywhere!
Love song:
didn’t expect this, but it’s almost like video games younger more mature sister who grew tits and just turned 18.. but she was always timid and quiet .. but she always had her own life .. yeah . Cute girl
Cinnamon:
truly one of her best! And one of jacks best produced, just wish she expanded on the lyrics .. so much wasted potential but the production saves her.
HTD:
I’ve said this before but Lana is literally reflecting on her Lizzy days and that’s quite rare for her to ever address the icon that remains Lizzy grant ... so this is great story telling and fuck the instrumental because she’s reading out of a book.. and Lana being Lana everyone is obsessed with instrumentals but it’s nice to have such a meaningful song with a shit instrumental because it makes u focus on the lyrics and Lana’s past.. instrumental sounds so much like Rihanna’s love on the brain and I love that. U should too
California:
Um never expected this PHENOMENAL track.. she’s literally pouring her heart out and telling us why her and Barrie (her true love ) didn’t work out ... turns out she can’t really find someone else like him and is just as fucked up.. lyrically she’s desperate and attempting so hard to see him again.. in public . It’s so authentic and fuck .. the only song that takes me back to UV... and I’m loving it entirely . She clearly knows Barrie so much and she’s throwing it all in this one track the ‘hit me up’ part sounds cheap but her most vulnerable track ... love it so much
BAR2.0:
eh she’s kinda growing on me
The greatest: oof really recognizes the worlds current state and as whiny as Lana is .. she is RIGHT. Proves her authenticity more than anything ... an iconic song for sure
Bartender:
Didn’t love this in the beginning but it’s her most mature song IMO... and the lyrics are so good and honest. The ‘botch-tender’ sounding part makes it more authentic .. like fuck no one else can pull that off. Really sounds like a HM end track instead of the ‘DLMBU’ cover.. really holds a strong place in my heart .. so LA oriented and it takes me there certainly . LOVE how she calls out her sobriety in the cutest way
HIAB: was kinda hard to sit w me at first but overall a great song and the production and overall sont don’t come off as cheap as the lyrics made it sound
HIADTF...: FUCK I WISH SHE DIDNT RELEASE THIS SO EARLY.. like the fact she did Made me appreciate it less and made it more of a laughing stock but it’s really her most raw song... and I can’t argue with that. Thank you
 
Overall even though this album isn’t too farfetched from Lana’s previous work the lyrics and production are a major improvement and hits the heart, soul, and mind on a different level.. only the great will appreciate this joint . XO
And everyone’s ‘holy trinity’ is different so you know it’s great when everyone has their own unique opinion that separates them
from everyone else !

They're pissed because Lana got two 100 with only 12 reviews and Taylor got none with 23 reviews (+Lana has a better score overall)

Every year my family has a Christmas playlist that we play throughout the day, and it's just as painful as it sounds. I'm definitely putting HTD on it this year.
 
Last year I convinced my sister to add Shades of Cool onto it by insisting that it was a Christmas song 'cos of the title.

After many listens, I have come to the conclusion that California sounds like it could be an UV outtake 

12 year old white fangirls need to be bullied sometimes 

Let’s not bully 12 year olds

Do you guys think this could be another Mtwbt/Honeymoon situation? Because if I remember correctly Honeymoon was first titled Mtwbt. So do you think the album title will change bc White Hot Forever is in an early stage (I guess). I hope she doesn't change the Title. I get Hot Summer days and Lizzy vibes from it   

This sounds so good. I wish Lana put your version on the album
