    So, I caved in and listened to the three leaked songs... Huge LDR fan, btw, since I first heard Blue Jeans in 2012!

     

    Preface: I loved Did You Know that... single and thought it was her strongest single since White Dress. I wasn't as smitten with A&W  as much as everyone else was, but I did appreciate it's Radiohead-ness and the sheer craziness of the second half. It's a different sound for her. Most of all, I'm just happy it's not a piano ballad (being her first track with a beat since, like, Doin' Time, if we don't count The Trio, which don't get me started...)

     

    Thoughts on the leaks: The Grant is a strong opening. It didn't amaze me as much as Ride, Born to Die, White Dress, Cruel World or Norman F. Rockwell, but on a first listen, I prefer it to Love, Honeymoon, and definitely Textbook, which is her worst opening (and worst album) ever. I'm happy with The Grants and love that there's already three songs on this album better than anything on BB. The opening with the choir is very Grammy friendly. Like an intro to a really strong, mature record.

     

    BUT, I thought Sweet was boring AF and Fingertips is outright unlistenable. A total skip for me already. It sounds to me like rambling backed by an orchestra... These tracks just confirm that Zachary Davis is the worst producer Lana has ever worked with . Bring back Dan, Rick, Hayne, or any of her old producers. Or just let Jack produce everything. I'm hoping his production skills will be on point on the 11 tracks he's (allegedly) credited on. Because if Zach D. has more say on this record, then Ima have it on the bottom of the list along with BB.

     

    Also, why would you put Sweet as song number 3 on the record when it's SO SO BORING? Ugh. She's like obsessed with Zach, and he literally produces her most boring and unmemorable songs ever...

     

    Spoiler

    I mean okay, that's your opinion, but you're completely wrong about Zach Dawes. :rip: He only produced The Grants, the title track and Candy Necklace on this album. Drew Erickson produced Sweet and Fingertips.
