I think only So Long, London and maybe a few of the 2am songs lol. 
 
The prologue also makes it clear it’s about Matty. Plus there’s so many 1975 references throughout the album. 

I can’t believe a concept album about dating Matty Healy to the point of psychosis goes this hard. 

I think all of you smoke to much crack if you think ttpd sounds like something Lana would make…

Okay here's my ranking/review after a few listens + some extra thoughts
 
Top Tier
1. Down Bad 9/10  (I love this track so much, it's a perfect melancholy mid tempo pop song. Kinda reminds me of an unreleased Charli song, definitely my type of sound)
2. Guilty as Sin? 9/10 (This one had me gagged! I love the western style and melody, it reminds me of something from her RED era. The taylor i know and love<3)
3. The Tortured Poets Department 8/10 (Instant classic for me, i love the synths and the backing vocals. It sounds so elegant and mature. Beautiful)
4. But Daddy, I Love Him 8/10 (A classic Taylor track, i love that it's 5 minutes as well. It has a great outro and is just overall a great song)
5. Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? 7/10 (Her screaming the line was a great touch, i enjoyed this one!)
6. Fresh Out The Slammer 7/10 (That subtle guitar in the background is haunting, i love the melody because it's very Lana. This was an interesting fresh new sound for Taylor)
Mid Tier
7. I Can Do It With a Broken Heart 7/10 (I love this song, it's fun, goofy and cheesy)
8. Fortnight 7/10 (Probably the most Midnight-esque track on the album, it starts off slow but picks up toward the end. It's not a great intro but a nice song overall)
9. So Long, London 7/10 (I need more time with this one but i think i'll grow to love it, its pretty and has a lot of potential)
10. The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived 7/10 (Starts off boring but gets better towards the end, i liked the lyrics on this one)
11. The Alchemy 7/10 (Good song but kinda sounds like a lesser version of Guilty as Sin)
Bottom Tier
12. My Boy Only Breaks His Favourite Toys 7/10 (A bit basic, but still enjoyable)
13. loml 6/10 (I need more time with this one, but it didn't stand out to me. I do like the piano though)
14. Clara Bow 6/10 (probably the most "mehh" song on the album, it's alright i guess)
15. Florida!!! 5/10 (I just don't like this song at all)
16. I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) 5/10 (boring)

300 million debut streams is insane 

This is a great album. Down Bad and Guilty as Sin are my favourites so far. I absolutely love that western sound in guilty, and down bad is just so melancholy and gentle.
 
There's a lot of highlights for me, i'm still on my second listen but might drop a ranking later today if i have the time. <3

I’m not sure if she’s ever not sung Video Games at a performance before.. even shows where she’s had short, 5-song setlists, she still sang it. Even when her mic was cut at Glastonbury, she still made sure to sing it with the crowd! Definitely odd, but they must’ve run out of time and couldn’t cut any of the final 4 songs (2 guests, 2 in the second outfit) in its place x

i luv it truthers won on this day  ILUHITILUHITILUHITILUHIT

I really like this interpretation. Not that she she necessarily has a clear vision of things to come for her next albums, but there is a sorta pattern so far, in her discography: she has two major landmarks, two albums that defined the American culture or read that said culture : Born to Die and Norman Fucking Rockwell. Norman was preceded by the «transition album », an album for her troubled times. Ocean Blvd is also a transition album, one that helped her grieve. See where I’m going with this? Lasso could be her third Best American Record. 

The lack of energy during this short rendition of West Coast bothered me ngl 
But she sounded more confident this week for sure, and she looked stunning. 
I'll try to forget that Camila Cabello was ever apart of this--call it temporary amnesia.

Ok in get free she says “out of the black into the blue” like it’s a positive thing. Like she’s becoming happier. But during Coachella she literally goes from blue to black in outfit changes meaning a return to her darker mindset. The intro song (My My, Hey Hey-Neil Diamond) also says “out of the blue into the black” and talks about basically going hard instead of fizzling out. The hologram cage interlude talked about women being mothers or virgins and how those are the only acceptable choices in society. But then goes on to talk about sensuality and creativity and not being caged by just the two choices of virgin or mother. She’s mused a lot about motherhood especially in Ocean Blvd and I think this could all point to her giving up having kids and just focusing on her career, her art. Also the ending where she’s carried out felt like a funeral instead of the usual psych ward vibe, then she’s almost reborn into a new era that is just for her. Of course this could all just me being tired af and unhinged. 
 
Someone else that’s better an analyzing this stuff chime in! Lol

Yes  (and yes to everyone asking, I will add an emote of Lana on the pole lol)

So glad she finally said “Fuck you hard in the pouring rain” 
 
she knows the power she has. 

outfit reminded me of the skims photoshoot with the black veil (that we as a society moved on too quickly from) 
 
ALSO, she had this sparkle in her eyes tonight that was so endearing 

The slayage 

It’s insane how much this hair colour compliments her…she looks exactly how she did 12-13 years ago with it and her features just stand out so beautifully. It’s perfect 

by the way, who else thought that Lanita was written on the belt

some professional photos (more in spoiler!):

 

on my knees

It’s currently 1:50 AM for me and I’ve been up since 6:00 AM so tonight I’ll sleep happily knowing Lana put on one of her best shows to date. She really said Coachella.. I don’t know her. It’s cuntchella.

i understand the outfit changes but not for the remaining 10% of the whole performance.. by the time she changed miss Margaret would have been sung 2 times with Jack…

i can’t believe i stood at barricade for 10+ hours holy shit. time for me to go eat something and get drunk
 
enjoy the rest of your day/night angels.
may we never forget the nights performance  ✨

It was so sweet when he took the time to thank Blake and Byron <3 and the whole rest of the stage. Introducing your band members AT COACHELLA and not just a random stop on tour is why Lana is so special. Like she is not the problem. That much I can tell ya. 

“hey hey, my my”, the entrance song, is the theme song of “sons of anarchy” a tv show about an outlaw motorcycle club
