My original view of the album was that I loved all songs except Bartender and Fuck it.  Now after a few days on constant rotation, I have grown to like these songs more.  I still don't like the backing vocals in Fuck it (sound cheap and demo like), and bartender just feels cheap but I enjoy it more now.  It'll never be my favourite but now I can play the album without skipping these. What a gorgeous album. Bringing me life.

Took me awhile to warm up to Venice Bitch but now when I listen to it I never want it to end.

For me, the album release has fallen a little flat; we'd heard literally half the songs before release, and MAC and VB were a year ago already!

I think the lyric changes have made this song sound like a demo.  The original lyrics have more power. Still beautiful however.

LMAO at the Doin' Time MV... All of the city is like, why does it smell like Pepsi all of a sudden?

I really LOVE FIILY, it's such a surfy-sumery track and it's actually much more introspective than you'd expect from the title. I like its "melancholic happiness" a lot and it really fits the vibe of this part of the season. But yeah, things like that are personal preferences

she always does this omg
 
watch her scrapping this album and never talk about it again

OMG, lol: it's not her best but I love the below songs. And the album is more eclectic than others which is a bonus.
 
1. "Love"
2."Lust for Life" (featuring The Weeknd)
3."13 Beaches"
6.Summer Bummer" 
7. Groupie Love" (featuring ASAP Rocky)
10.God Bless America – and All the Beautiful Women in It"
11."When the World Was at War We Kept Dancing"
12."Beautiful People Beautiful Problems" (featuring Stevie Nicks)
13."Tomorrow Never Came" (featuring Sean Ono Lennon)

I can't stand Coachella, and I didn't enjoy Mustang until I saw it live for some reason.

I'm really loving this album so far, except for a couple of songs which just sound messy and unfinished: "Fuck it" and "Bartender", the latter being my least favourite. Whilst I'm loving the album, I must admit there is still a little disappointment. The singles, in particular MAC, VB are stunning, and I was really hoping for more of that psychedelic / prog rock kinda instrumentation, it doesn't appear elsewhere enough.  I think the lyrics to the new version of TNBAR aren't as powerful as the original leak which is a shame but it's still a beautiful track. I love 'Doin Time' but it sounds out of place.  My faves of the 'new' songs are NFR (though dislike the 'yeah' bit just before the chorus, Cinnamon (gorgeous), The Greatest (love it!) and Happiness is a Butterfly (love the switch to the serial killer).
 
As a matter of interest, my best friends (who LOVE BTD album and few songs since) said they are so bored of the same sound and vocal effects and are bored of the Americana style references.  They're waiting for her to do something different, raise the tempo etc.  I agree with them; it would be nice to be surprised. Whilst big fans can hear differences, in truth it's the same sound and this album isn't eclectic in any way. 
 
Anyway.. lets hope the signed cd I/we bought arrives tomorrow.  I bought that gaga Star Is Born album signed, and it arrived about 10 months after release! (Lazy gaga.)

There are a lot of creative, fresh, three-dimensional songs on it, among the ho-hum tracks. I greatly prefer it to UV or HM, and to NFR.
