    that review annoyed me, i hated the way he kept talking while the songs were still playing

    i don’t like his reactions now :rip: since cocc they all feel very forced and it’s clear he just doesn’t wanna go in on her because he knows her fans are the only reason his channel is as big as it is now 

     

    Ajay’s cocc and bb reactions felt similarly forced too

    i gotta say it'd still be pretty interesting if she surpassed her considering miley probably was the reason of the postponement 

    yeah but there’s like a 1% chance she’s doing more streams… norman has 15M i don’t see her increSe by 12M… 5M+ is more likely 

     

    she’ll outsell her in pure sales and maybe even overall sales tho which is better anyways imo

    this review from germany is horrible. here is the translation

     

    News from Lana Del Rey: Botox for the ears

    The American musician will release her new album Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd on Friday

     

    There's this song by Roy Orbison. It's one of his cheerful ones, he could do that too, although he was at his best when his heart was bleeding. In Lana, the same song, he is still in the preliminary stages. He is happy, but suspects that this could soon change: "Oh, beautiful Lana / I told my mama and my dad / What I had was the sweetest / And the neatest little girl in the world / (...) Whoa oh, Lana / Don't make me blue / Oh, oh Lana..."

     

     

    "Don't make me blue" - in Roy Orbison's world that remained a pious wish, the tragedy inevitable. Orbison matches Lana Del Rey. Not musically, but the American nurtures her image from a world made up of ingredients from old Hollywood – like Lana Turner or Orbison's melancholy that's ready for the cinema. At the same time, the stage name of the musician, born Elizabeth Grant, refers to a car from the 1980s that couldn't be more average, the Ford Del Rey. A bowl for families with a Walmart loyalty card.

    Placed in this way as an artificial figure, the 37-year-old tries to appear mysterious. However, their album Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, which will be released on Friday , shows that once again this is not possible. It could theoretically work. Dragging oneself dejectedly into the album, with a heavy heart – for whatever reason –, tearful, afraid to suffer. She could build on such a zero point, vary subjects and the music, grow in the attempt or at least fail dramatically. Not Del Rey.

    Scraping mosquito legs

    Her songs are and remain silent like her physiognomy, have the paralyzing effect of a botox injection, but have been trending for years - which is the only really mysterious thing about her. This also applies to the success of Taylor Swift, with whom Del Rey shares producer Jack Antonoff.

     

    Meanwhile, the first quarter of the album is over: Meandering ballads dominate, weakly whispering vocals that scrape the surface like mosquito legs - in the last third of A&W she suddenly lets herself be carried away to a few beats that some pass for hip-hop would. Surprised by herself, she mumbles and sings, raps as much as she can. It seems to be about getting high.

     

     

    After so much debauchery under Resting Pulse follows an audio document called Judah Smith Interlude - the recording of a preacher from Seattle, whose speech is accompanied by piano music. The audience's laughter on the sampled recording provides something of the album's serene climax.

    An anesthesiologist at the piano

    The middle section of the 16-piece work turns out to be a deep valley. Lana Del Rey whistles to comatose piano melodies, the seconds pass like hours.

    Even with a strong will, a piece like Kintsugi cannot be glossed over as a pretty gem. And so it continues. Even a song with the weighty title of the Wim Wenders classic Paris, Texas dies in assertive mode, once again failing to care for the surface and prove any deeper meaning. The anesthetist at the piano can follow the template as well as he can.

     

    Guests like Father John Misty, who also tends to be naturally weak, do not change the overall impression. In the jointly sung Let the Light In, the tempo increases a bit, but you already suspect that this will lead to the next exhaustion - and that's how it happens: Margaret, the following song, is again standing knockout

     

    At this point you not only feel sorry for yourself, but also for Lana Del Rey. Almost stop. Her striving for depth, followed by failure like a shadow, almost affects you, it is difficult to bear in this dose and at this length. Her uneventful studies last up to seven minutes.

     

    Roy Orbison, to get back to the beginning, wrote three mini-epics between heaven and hell, roller-coaster rides through broken hearts, during this period. Lana Del Rey remains the market for mobile phone sleep aids – nobody can outperform her there. Although, there is still the new U2 ... (Karl Fluch, March 24th, 2023)

    they get a point for the Taylor lashings :popcorn:

    Songwriting wise I’d actually say she can be when she wants to- 

     

     

    One of the best pop lyricists tbh

     

    you’d need to be British to understand the context between some of the lines though 

    no thanks ! 

     

     

     

    anyways Jon Batiste Interlude >>> whatever the other thing was 

     

    if you disagree your mom’s ugly, sawry

    Did anyone else else think that Margaret sounded wayyyy too Taylor Swift (makes sense bc of Jack but still)

    not really since Taylor got that whole sound from Lana in the first place :sideeye:

    there are glaring issues with audio crackling on ALL the tracks which were not present on the og leaks. did they submit the wrong files to streaming? it's a nightmare  i'll try to get timestamps next time i listen through but they seem to happen when the db just goes a bit high and her vocals get a bit louder/higher. this is literally the stuff that gets checked and fixed during mastering while making everything sound the same across all formats, they put it through a mastering software which makes all the songs have the same amount of loudness which can introduce issues like glitches and crackling but these get quality checked and sorted out, it just tells me the guy didn't even bother having a listen through after putting everything thru a software.  this is the first time this guy is mastering her stuff, it has always been some guy named Chris who did a fine job but this new dude should be fired for this mess. 

    yeah it really makes half the songs borderline unlistenable… can we collectively complain and bully their dumbasses to fix that shit ?
