Even with the change in date of the album release, I feel like this is the smoothest era so far in recent history. I think we quickly forget how uniquely awful the waiting period for NFR! was (I wasn't on LB at the time, but I remember waiting in annoyance through most of late 2018 to mid 2019), the disaster that was the COTCC announcement (+ the White Hot Forever announcement) and the radio silence making us think the whole album had been scrapped post-QFTC, and the total ambiguity of the Rock Candy Sweet -> Blue Banisters release dates. We really lucked out with Did You Know.

Contract illiteracy is one of the biggest problems facing the working class currently imo.

being scared that something that you haven't heard is going to be bad is not "thoughtful discussion" in the first place

unless you have like a stalker following you around and heckling you, you can't call the police because some random old lady called you names as you made a tiktok lol

This is the experience of being an ill-informed whore

In my defense, I haven't read the news in months

This isn't "world news," it could've just gone in the Sam Smith thread. Also LOL at her even recognizing him, she must be a fan.

If she releases this as like a record store day exclusive I might just line up. I also kinda want to use it digitally...

I hear “maimed” more and more. It definitely starts with an “m” sound and ends with “ed”

The grammar on the hoodie suggest that "Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd" is the official album title?

Lana's houses, according to lyrics/poems: - Rosemead (A&W) - Hancock Park (LA, Who Am I To Love You?) - Mar Vista (Happy) - Malibu (Woolsey Fire treehouse, Paradise Is Very Fragile)

When Taco Truck is actually "For K. Part 3" and talks about how K committed the drive by in a stolen taco truck

I’m probably not gonna use it (outside of the house), but it’s cute that it works:

she probably ok-ed it there and then.

I think it’s obvious the 33 year old is Taylor Swift

I think A&W was one of the last songs written for the album, because obviously the Cruel Summer like beat is meant to hint that the “singer who still looks like a side piece at 33” is her friend 33 year old Taylor Swift. And the “side piece” is a dig at how Taylor was a “side writer” on SOTB

Using cheap headphones to complain about the quality of a studio grade mic is laughable

this is way to intricate to be a cheaply made box. Looks like a smaller cartier box (different design on the top that's more swirly)

Genius says "me" but...like...we all heard that right

The harmonies in the pre-chorus

I haven’t had goosebumps like that in a while

Billie’s “dudes” and “wows” are sending me

I would’ve rather been phished than watched that

Holy shit I thought you guys were lying about Living Legend-Nectar Of The Gods-Cherry Blossom being YouTube Rips, but I just imported my FLAC version (bought from highresaudio.com) and decided to have Audirvana do a quick analysis, and compare "Cherry Blossom" to "Wildflower Wildfire" from the exact same import (both imported as FLACs):

It's worth it tbh. I ripped the CD to my computer, and "Hits Different" is one of my most played tracks. No clue why it didn't make the standard version or even 3am.
