Churchome Rep

Target didn't let people ring it up at checkout and a few independent record stores put it on the shelf early. Shouldn't affect sales too much.
But as for the YouTube leaks, we know Ben and Ed are incompetent because those should be striked before they're even posted.

She's HYPED! Don't forget to buy an extra copy for her too 

My Grandma texted me to ask if its out yet  
how do I break the news to her 

She has something we like to call:GREAT TASTE

Do it legend!!
Bang on the store window like:
 
 

i dont know how anyone thinks interscope will ever drop lana because on her most experimental album yet with the least promo she's ever done she's still getting rave reviews and has doubled her pre-orders from NFR! era like they're never dropping this girl 

Is that Alexis guy from the Guardian gonna review this album.

Is anyone else slightly put-off by the nature of these reviews? Like yes, it’s amazing that Chemtrails is meeting such critical acclaim, but I really dislike how all these major publications feel the need to discredit her past albums in order to make the case for this one. Good journalism doesn’t need to bash something else in order to make the argument for whatever it is that is being written about. Appreciating Lana’s growth is one thing, but dismissing past albums as “confused” seems like a cop-out. 

THE TIMES:Lana Del Rey: Chemtrails Over the Country Club review — the artist launches her best image yet. Herself
(4/5 STARS)

I haven’t listened to the leak for a few days and instead have been re-listening to older albums, particularly Honeymoon since the first go-around I was ambivalent about it
 
That might be a mistake because Honeymoon sets a high, high bar for what peak Lana is

Reaching the point where I regret listening to the leak

I finally figured out my own interpretation of the title song. I think the verses and the chorus are describing different time periods — the chorus describes the past, her childhood, and a desire to escape “normality”. The verses are addressed to a lover, one in the present with whom she has learned to embrace the beauty of the ordinary. The themes of lazily watching the apocalypse from “The greatest” are continued.
 
The climax of the song comes as the chorus is repeated a final time, this time with an expression of longing for a restoration of the world she once escaped from (“I want only
Like when we were kids under chemtrails and country clubs”).
 
When the song first premiered, I was taken aback because the title is so aggressive that I was expecting something more brash and satirical, but I think the resulting song is more subtle and thoughtful. Chemtrails [metaphorically] are a silent killer, and Lana is suggesting that the only way to live in a world of Kafkaesque terror is to settle into the deep normality.
 
Chemtrails are suburbia, native genocide, police, everything silent and threatening about America. But the cancerous sun is still beautiful, and since we’re stuck under the chemtrails in the meantime… we can contemplate God.

Lana is trying to balance having put the word fucking in an album title with an album with supposedly no explicit lyrics
