After a good bit of time with the album I can confidently say side A >>>>> side B TTPD is a top 3 while TA is bottom/mid tier, but I feel like both sides have their strengths. Side A I think is better melodically (and even then side B has some good moments, like The Prophecy) and side B is a bit better instrumentally while falling a bit flat melodically. I definitely do understand some of the criticism the album is getting, but I think it’s being a severely over hated just because the Taylor hate train is in FULL steam, and it’s crazy to think this is probably going to end up being one of her lowest rated albums. the biggest problem I have is there is no real summer/bop anthem. Down bad, Florida, so high school, broken heart are almost there but they all lack that little extra something. the problem is BOTH Aaron and Jack working alone is STALE and at the very least she needs to get them working together. Jack is good at vocal production and melody while Aaron shines on instrumentals and pulling good lyrics out of Taylor, but jack doesn’t shine instrumentally and Aaron isn’t great at helping Taylor get an ear worm melody

I hate long prereleases so I’m not in a super big rush for it to start, but I would love another small taste of what we’re getting. Henry come on is beautiful and I’d love to hear another part of it, or something new. the way she went from one extreme (teasing an entire album (NFR)) to the next (one snippet an era) is so funny to me. bring back the LFL level of teasing, that was such a happy medium

You can really tell she’s proud of herself and knows she absolutely killed it!!

no but she really should have waited AT LEAST a month to drop the second album, 31 songs all at once is overwhelming

no, he posted the ocean pic December 7th when the album was announced

for ocean Blvd he teased by posted the night time flower picture on his story a couple times he has never (as far as I know) posted album visuals until the album has been officially announced

At first I thought the desert pics Niel was posting could be Lasso related, but since he keeps posting more I’m thinking it’s not, there’s no way he’d be leaking all of Lana’s album’s visuals. Now that Coachella is over, and we’re almost only 4 months away, assuming there is no delay, I really think it’s time to start getting some crumbs of info.

I’ve been sitting on the hunger games prequel book for weeks now! I really hope to start it Monday

I think Lasso absolutely is a track. She’s never not had a title track! I also think the album is still named Lasso because of the western themed chat last week that had a heavy focus on lassos

Omg she was saying something but they cut her mic

Not the black dark leather cow girl outfit to do A&W and young and beautiful

Lasso is alive and breathing with that outfit!!

Y’all there’s 3 minutes until cerfew there’s no new song and the last two are probably being cut

Of all songs to skip, video games is an odd choice

I have chills she sounds SO GOOD

She sounds SO GOOD

Pls shorten this one too lana

Not that drum giving this song so much life she sounds so good you can tell she’s felling it

Tunnellllllll time

Okay she’s eating this tf up Chemtrails I’ll always love you

I guess she heard us complain about the guests all coming out at once

And she skipped the little bit of love she did last week whatisthis

Idk I refuse to live in that timeline

I think it’s rumored Lana has a spoken interlude on the album but was probably a dumb twitter insider rumor and not true tbh idc who the guest is as long as lana has an actual stage presence and sings her songs this week. I can’t do another week of 1/4th of west coast actually being sung imagine camila announcing her album while we’re all expecting a lasso announcement joking aside that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard and not happening

I refuse to clown
