You don’t feel like Lana’s been underappreciated? That’s essentially what I’m getting at. Like this album might not be great idk, but hearing that critics were essentially giving it a half listen kind of sucks when she’s producing/produced great music.

.

I can’t stand her team anymore. This was clearly an attempt to ramp up hype in the UK, but it’s a market she generally does well in anyway. You know where she needs promo? The US. A market she’s been underperforming in since NFR. I get that Lana doesn’t do promo anymore, but it seems silly of them to lift the embargo on these reviews so early. For what reason exactly? This album clearly isn’t as palatable as NFR or Chemtrails or even BB. It’s just a lame strategy imo, but I guess it was a risk that just didn’t pan out. Ugh.

Nope sadly

Gigwise doesn’t count towards Metacritic oh.

Gigwise dubbing it her magnum opus is INSANE.

Now, back to, the critics that had a lot to say about Lana the other day in the press WHATS GOOD? https://gigwise.com/reviews/3429011/album-review--lana-del-rey---did-you-know-that-there-s-a-tunnel-under-ocean-blvd

10/10 from Gigwise. WE FUCKING WON ! ! !

It depends how the bops serve the album’s themes. I think the latter end of A&W only works because the first part of the song is heavy, if the first half of the album touches on v dark themes I feel like the more upbeat songs can complement that. Sort of a release after so many heavy songs.

Judging from y’all’s reviews, it seems like Fingertips is the Hope of the album. Grandfather is the “Mariners Apartment Complex” Fishtails is the Cinnamon Girl

The Grants made NME’s best new tracks playlist which is a good sign. But Pitchfork has been awfully quiet. I’m predicting either a 9-10 from Pitchfork or like a 7 😭

Is this Nicki shade?

Oh. Yeah I feel like he’s just trying to be funny but to make a joke out of *that* statement is a little weird.

Me!

Release week starts tomorrow y’all

No what happened to Jack 😭

If not I’ll be speaking to her managers and filing complaints. TRUST.

Something has to happen with the oceanblvd account next week. I feel like we’re in for some surprises 😳

Thinking about the contrast between Lana’s normie friends and the music she’s making.

Trisha and Lana are weirdly aligned in my mind idk. Speaking of Trisha why is this track unironically good

I-

No I feel you completely! LFL was truly an era, she definitely put effort into promoting that album and it was a super fun time to be a part of the fandom. NFR promo was on theme with the album, cute but she didn’t promote it hard. Cocc/bb was a terrible time to be a fan imo, eras filled with controversy (self inflicted at times) and bad press 😭 hoping we have a fun week lined up for Tunnel, but I doubt it.

In recent years, Chemtrails did really well in pure sales. I think 60k pure, 15k from streaming.

NFR sold nearly as well as LFL it was just that release week I think Tool or some big band released an album.
