Hi this album's perfect. Not All Who Wander, Dark But Just a Game, Wild at Heart the Holy trinity. Midalbum set of masterpieces. Period. DBJAG a successor and sister of The Greatest; "the best ones lost their minds" is a lyric delivered with a knowing that she too, damn right, is one of the best. Not all who Wander, one of her most stunningly beautiful performances-a true princess of nature and the souls lost in its vastness. Wild at Heart is just a classic, another to stand shoulder to shoulder with her best and most accessible songs.Yosemite widens its massive canyons of emotions with each listen. White Dress has a buildup so sincere with a murderously beautiful melody, that it stands separate from almost all of her previous songs. The title track is so deeply ingrained into me by now that its true comfort, a song of shimmering doom and ennui. BUS hurts when you need it to, and that's all I ask of it. Dance Till We Die flips the switch so hard it causes the ground to shudder. A hippy swoon that breaks down into her boldest, most fun, and successful vocal performances. LMLYLAW is loving and truly vibes like a stoner in bliss, and also-she was first. And For Free. It's perfect. She has found her fellow Ladies of The Canyon, and they're beautiful, all three.

Lana Del Rey's best album [end exhaustive rant]

Yosemite's bridge...Dance Till We Die's bridge...bridges 
 

Is it true she sold over 30k vinyls in the US first week and is the biggest selling vinyl this century?? Slay queen.

Just dropping in to say Holocene has become one of my top songs ever. It's just music and heart and vibe incarnate. I adore forever. Long live gorgeous Zella

Howdy!! I joined somewhere in the 2600s I believe, and read every page first as I followed all you icons.

Since it’s been a week & a day since Chemtrails was released, I thought I’d finally give my thoughts now that I’ve given the album proper time to settle. I’ve given the album about 30 listens all the way through so far, so I sort of know what my thoughts are.
First off, this just screams ‘end of summer, transitioning into autumn album. The original September release date would have been absolutely perfect, as this album would be a great play from September – November and I really look forward to hearing it then. Last weekend, my friend and I saw another friend for his birthday, and the three of us sat around a bonfire outside while I played Chemtrails and it fit the mood just perfectly. 
In my opinion, this album features some of her, perhaps even her definite, best vocals. Yosemite is just insane all around with her vocals in the very best way. Not All Who Wander Are Lost also features those gorgeous high vocals she does so flawlessly. The singing style on the bridge of Dance Till We Die is one of the best moments of the whole album, and I hope she makes more songs where the entirety is in the style of the bridge.
Dark But Just a Game is a career highlight. Anyone who disagrees with me here is just simply wrong. Immediately, the production on the verses and chorus reminded me of two separate songs, but I couldn’t quite place my finger on it. The verses sort of remind me of Adele’s version of Lovesong, but that’s not exactly what I’m thinking of. It’ll come to me one day in the middle of the night, I’m sure of it. Either way, this was an immediate favourite and I really, really hope she makes more songs in this sort of style.
I’m also glad to see Breaking Up Slowly finally getting some praise here and there, because I really do love this song and I knew I would. I’ve become quite the Nikki Lane fan after seeing her open for Lana in Wichita during the NFR Midwest leg, and I think her harmonies with Lana sound really pretty. I’ve been anticipating this song since the live snippets in October, and it lived up to my expectations.
I’m also glad Zella Day finally got her moment with Lana. I’ve been a huge Zella Day fan for the past 6+ years, so I’m so happy they finally have a song together (I just wish it was an original rather than a cover!)
I haven’t quite decided where Chemtrails lands in my overall album ranking, but it’s somewhere in the middle. I do feel though that with time, this album will crawl its way to an upper spot, especially when autumn hits and it really fits the time of the season.
 
Here’s my track ranking (subject to change over time), with 1 being my favourite:
1.     Dark but Just a Game
2.     Tulsa Jesus Freak
3.     Breaking Up Slowly
4.     Yosemite
5.     Wild at Heart
6.     White Dress
7.     Dance Till We Die
8.     Chemtrails Over the Country Club
9.     Let Me Love You Like a Woman
10.  Not All Who Wander Are Lost
11.  For Free
 
 
Something I will say about this album though is that the track order seems so weird to me. Songs like “Wild at Heart” & “Dark but Just a Game” seem like such obvious closing tracks, so it’s super odd and comes off as out of place to me that they’re both right in the middle. Also, the actual closer “For Free” seems much more like mid-track, like a little interlude. White Dress also just doesn’t seem like a proper opener either. As beautiful as it is, I just feel like it doesn’t set the tone of the album either thematically or sonically. I know it’s one of the more unpopular songs, but out of all the songs on the album, “Let Me Love You Like a Woman” strikes me as the most “opener”-esque. I think that thought is really because of how the song both begins and ends. The ending is so abrupt, that it’s almost like a pre-lude to the story she’s about to tell. Especially if it were to be followed by Chemtrails, I feel like those songs would be really nice back-to-back together to start the album. & that opening line from LMLYLAW, “I come from a small town, how ‘bout you?” really is so fitting for the album and would’ve been a great way to open it.  I reordered the album to what makes more sense to me and have been listening to it in a playlist & have really been enjoying this order, but I'm still experimenting with it:

 
 
 
Overall though, really love this album. I love how all of her albums are distinctly different, she truly is capable of anything. Can't wait to see what's to come  next, and will be happily enjoying this album in the mean time x

dude u know what. just wow. it just gets better n better after each listen. Lana. Thank you Lana i'm swooning i'm swooning 

Last weekend, two friends and I listened to COTCC while sitting around a bonfire at night, and it really was a perfect setting. I would recommend doing something similar! It's more of a nature album than a city album, and more of a night album than a day album x

the thing I love about chemtrails is how Lana's voice is the one carrying the song and not the instrumentals like I was shocked listening to the dance till we die instrumental and how chill it is during the bridge then when I went back to the song I realized how much Lanas voice is the one making me boogie in my seat whenever it comes on  def her best album vocally 

Not here to comment on Lana's weight. It's irrelevant and while we could use it to identify the skater, which to my knowledge everyone already figured was a skater that looks exactly like that a few months ago that Lana followed on insta-frankly it fits the theme just...I come from a family of women- 2 sisters here, one a twin and an exhausted mom and a dad who never did anything but sleep- I just can't with the slander. It's really gross. Not to you @barttttendercus you totally make an innocent observance-but to the malicious-Don't come for women's bodies. Now yes, currently Lana is not rocking that body. But to pass off on her like she's now some suburb trash because of her Selfie phase which has been nothing less than iconic, they've all somewhat defined this era's serve is tasteless. Lana del Rey aka Lizzy Grant is one of the most stunning, breath thieving women on Earth. Like DAMN do we stan a sexy woman. That's all

if she’s to collab w anyone it needs to be sufjan stevens their voices were meant for each other everyone else can go suck it

yup, not to be dramatic but if i hear nikki on rcs im jumping out a window 

Finally listened to all the instrumentals and wow they are really beautiful
This album might be more stripped back instrumentally then NFR! but the production on COTCC is so good and feels rich
Her vocal delivery on this album is amazing and carry the tracks but the instrumentals are actually really good as well and I noticed some things in the  instrumentals I haven't heard before. White Dress, Title Track, Tulsa Jesus Freak & Dance Till We Die are stunning. LMLYLAW,  DBJAG, Wild At Heart, Not All Who Wander ( it's so peaceful) , For Free & Yosemite are so beautiful as well. Breaking Up Slowly instrumental is haunting though
After hearing the instrumentals I love the album even more

I love you lots, like polka dots.
