I SAY I LIVE IN ROSEMEAD
REALLY, I'M AT THE RAMADA
IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER
DOESN'T REALLY REALLY MATTER 

idk if this makes sense but there was this specific excitement i felt just before ultraviolence and norman f**king rockwell! like they were so different and jaw dropping and raw and i feel that way leading up to this album too

Psycho Lifeguard would literally be one of her best titles 

And she fumbled the bag as always changing Pearl or Psycho lifeguard to Fishtails, taco truck and Sweet

during first listen of song i already felt 90s folk grunge vibes which you mentioning. kind of song which is freshly released but sounds like timeless classic. i love her for that.

Don't worry none of us do 

It's interesting that people say the first part is very "folky" it reminds me a lot more of 90s indie rock/ grunge music

Jim has a double meaning in Ultraviolence it’s both a person and the drink.  But I think overall ‘Jim’ is not one specific person just a character of sorts to represent many past romances. - that’s what I think anyway.  

honestly my favorite part is the "okay" at 3:45 when the transition begins. It sounds like both "okay enough with the ramblings" and "okay here we go"

A&W just got the Best New Track from Pitchfork, the biggest streaming day on Spotify for her ever and a 94/100 score on AOTY (and there aren't many Lana fans on that site), but apparently it's us who's exaggerating just because this is "something new" for Lana, please.

Hello happy Thursday! I hope y’all are still streaming the fuck out of A&W. It plays on repeat for me and I just can’t get bored of it. There’s something new with each listen like going to an art museum over and over again. 

This is the experience of being an American whore
 

Everybody's opinions are important
 

this thread really is in its essay era

it's not because it's brand new it's because the song is just mind blowing and I'm sorry for those who can't feel it

Ugh you guysssss. A&W is just phenomenal - I know I’ve made like, 5 different posts just saying that. But it’s the utmost truth. She did not hold back at all - sonically, melodically, lyrically, all of it. I obviously loved the last two records so much but I haven’t felt this way about a song since I heard Venice Bitch.
 
Enjoy the music and don’t let meaningless discourse and nitpicking get in the way. Focus on what’s to love, which is that we got a fucking amazing 7 minute track! 

go listen to melodrama then 
 

Look who's talking, your voice breaks at 2:05 

So true  I really feel like this is going to be the album that finally silences most of the haters in general, too many people are going to love it so there will be no audience for the Lana bashers 

let‘s not manifest a new lawsuit

patty listening to a&w

Can we talk about how progressive rock the intro to A&W is 
 
It feels like a Pink Floyd track is about to begin 

They should really be more careful about which intern transcribes, those "official" lyrics are obviously full of mistakes lol

A&W is so showstopping I feel like this is gonna be my favorite song off the album. It’s truly one of her best songs. It gave me a lot more excitement for the rest of the album. Even though the title track’s amazing, it wasn’t too different from Blue Banisters so my expectations for the album weren’t crazy high. A&W’s a total shift. And it’s not even because of the (absolutely insane and amazing) Jimmy part of the song. Even the American Whore part by itself would’ve been one of her best songs. The first 2 lines alone give me chills. The Jimmy part does take the song to a whole nother level though.
