Could SYTH be used in the new Little Mermaid film? It fits the plot as well as the ocean theme

Lucky bastards

Taco Truck x TT

Okay guys, I’m finally back from my trip and managed to listen to the album. And oh god what can I say… this is not an album, this is a movie soundtrack. I definitely think this is her most cinematic world and is so beautiful. I thought I may end up not really liking as everyone was hyping it so much, but I love love love it. The Grants: a beautiful intro to the album. It’s not the biggest highlight but I like it as an opener. Sweet: Such a beautiful song, I really liked it and it defied my expectations. Candy Necklace + JB interlude are fucking masterpieces. I want them to continue working together. A match made in heaven. Fingertips is otherworldly. I will always be fascinated by Lana’s ability to make melodies out of any lyric possible. It’s such a heartbreaking song. paris, texas: i loved the SYML song and what Lana did with it is turning gold into platinum. I don’t even know what to say. This song is making me feel things that I haven’t felt in a long time. Grandfather is good but not as mindblowing as I imagined it. Margaret is fantastic and doesn’t deserve any hate at all. The melodies are really beautiful. A classic Lana song. Taco truck: The first part is amazing and i really wished that they made this a full song. The VB part is a bit underwhelming for me but I don’t hate the song at all. i need some more time with Kintsugi, Fishtail and LTLI. I give it 8.5/10 and it’s absolutely in my top 3 alongside HM and NFR. It has everything I like about Lana: heartstopping lyrics, beautiful vocal melodies, nostalgic feelings, dark themes, sadness and hope intertwined and of course a little bit of fun and humour.

Universal acclaaaaim yass

We gotta see pics once it arrives sure you’ll slay in it hun

Yeah I kinda don’t see Lana getting disemboweled on set 💀💀

Financial Times rated it 4/5. I don’t think it counts for metacritic but it was good Hollywood’s dream factory recurs in the album, which ends with a recitation of the critic Pauline Kael’s pithy summary of movie glamour, “Kiss kiss bang bang”. In cinematic terms, the record casts Lana as a 1970s auteur. At 78 minutes, it is long and sometimes baffling. It is also technically very well made and beautifully performed. Some songs drift by in a reverie, gravely soundtracked by guitar and piano. Others twist into unpredictable shapes with surprising orchestrations and electronic beats. If her brand of mystique has sometimes seemed too knowing, then here it strikes an authentic note. The album follows its own entrancing logic, like dreams themselves, those enigmatic communiqués from our unconscious — the tunnel under the Ocean Blvd of our real and fantasy lives.

And one is short, the other’s grand omg

Double release for LDRX

If elon likes lana so much, he should just close it all down

“Lana is glorifying corpses” rants?? There’s a street in my hometown named GPSOTSOMFWHDSF

I randomly saw this in my insta explore and the comments captured my first reaction pretty well lmao ughh Lana and her impact with a random unreleased song from 2010

I tried to argue with them in the comments but I have more important things to deal with than a bunch of moany bores

How does that work since no review is above 80 so far? but still, I’m here for that universal acclaim

Guys tomorrow I am leaving for Paris (not Texas) so I am not sure if I will be able to check the thread. So I just want to wish you all happy listening on Friday and thank you for the wild ride, it was the best pre-release thread for me

But isn’t it dependant on each individual outlet whether they have 0.5 scores at all or not? I’m just trying to be hopeful y’all!!

Aren’t all or most reviews released so far on the X/5 scale? Which makes it hard to get a score of anything 8+.

Plus tesco peanuts

I was just going to say.. i was thinking of going but listening to it standing in a crowded shop with strangers is not it. But hopefully people have fun!!

There are people here literally praising the JB interlude and saying that they cry to it, which just proves what @Terrence Loves Me was trying to say

I can’t see the score?

it’s one of my favs! Super gory though, but it’s a fun right with many disturbing elements. And quick to binge too. Everything after that is meh

Just asked chatgpt to analyse the Grants. The response was pretty basic but still spot on. I will try to do the same with Fingertips or one of the more wordy poem-like songs.
