Kiki de Montparnasse

I’m sure the positivity warriors will complain that I haven’t deified everyone part of her discog but here’s mine(lol)- 
Not including Sirens because it was never officially released. 
 
1.UV(perfect layered album with storytelling songwriting-a modern classic with no skips even on the deluxe and most outtakes- lots of repeated choruses but they only strengthen the impact of the amazing melodies to me).
 
2. Honeymoon(Love the return to Trip Hop and Baroque pop-lots of reverb on this record that creates a dream-like effect- some iffy songwriting occasionally but it’s a gorgeous masterpiece again and makes me amazed with every listen).
 
3. Aka ( love the guitars on this record and how kitschy it is-again like most of the albums I like off her-there’s no skips-not her most serious work but it’s great fun).
 
4. Born to die the paradise edition( I can’t include these albums seperately- it forms a modern bible throughout- some songs are overproduced on BTD or very dull on paradise-but American and Bel Air are the only skips for me- Great starting albums).
 
5. Blue Banisters( lots of ballads here but it’s her first fully formed album since Honeymoon-there’s some issues with the production where it clips and you can tell the record was rushed but it flows quite well- Wildflower should have been scrapped as it’s objectively a clipped mess).
 
6.Lust for Life-it’s difficult for me to rank this because it has some discog highlights like change, love, cherry etc but it has some atrocious work likewise like in my feelings, the boring thirteen bitches-it doesn’t flow as an album at all hence it’s placement. 
 
I imagine ocean will be between these two albums despite me really disliking the first two singles-The grants description and Peppers sound promising.
 
7. Chemtrails- cohesive but boring-I’m not opposed to folk music but it’s so stripped down as to remain pointless to have any production-some discog highlights in title track and Tulsa. 
 
8. NFR- I will never understand the love for this record and it started her wave of ego where everything she makes she believes is gold-any form of critique is immediately a personal attack on her as a person as displayed on her Ann Powers rant. 
I like Hope, How to disappear, the vinyl version of I love you- California and the greatest are fine but could have been masterpieces with extra attention.
 

I feel this album is going straight to my top 3 at least but I don't think anything she'll release will ever take HM from the top spot... too many memories attached to that album 
 
But yeah I have really high expectations and the songs I've heard so far didn't disappoint at all 
 
Even if I like every song on first listen I always need a lot of time with her albums to truly know how I really feel about them. For example I'm still trying to decide which one of the 2021 albums I like more and I only started appreciating LFL in its entirety recently

01. Ultraviolence
02. Honeymoon
03. Did You Know There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd?
04. Paradise
05. Chemtrails Over The Country Club
06. Born To Die
07. Norman Fucking Rockwell!
08. Lust For Life
09. Blue Banisters

hi. so i am also polish and found another auction for the vinyls on polish site, its the hot pink vinyl, but with no real photos of the seller holding it whatsoever. i contacted the lady just to find out if she’s got the vinyls already or not, because in the description there was (available from march 10th). i thought she put the wrong date at first, but nope… it turned out that apparently all the vinyls been sent to her from the vinyl plant on friday the 10th. it means they been sent everywhere this day, probably. she told me she will have the vinyls around wednesday. same as others shops. that’s why best buy have 16th date. girlies its def leaking next week. its only a matter of time they all get the vinyls and someone fucks it up… 

me closing the windows of my car everytime i remember lana lives in LA too and could theoretically be around any corner.. bc imagine she's just going about her day and sees some man blasting and fully singing along to songs that are not even out it would be the embarassment of my life i'd run to the nearest cliff 
 

 
 

omg bae 😭 ur sweet but u don't need to apologize for anything.. this is the internet and u shared ur opinion on a forum meant for sharing opinions.. i definitely didn't/don't feel "bullied" or anything like that and i think you did a fine job getting ur point across the way that you did 
 
i have no problem w anybody disagreeing w me i live in a free country i think ppl should be able to say/do whatever they want as long as they're not curtailing other people's freedoms or harassing them.. and i totally get ur frustration, i'm just personally uncomfortable with leaking the album so i've been teasing things with the intention of maintaining the hype and making it so the pre-release thread is fun and active (as a leak is obviously imminent).. if my teasers have genuinely been diminishing your (or anybody else who's reading this's) possible enjoyment of the record, i urge you not to click the spoilers on my posts
 
love u all (even the ones that don't love me back) xoxo  
 

The most satisfying moment of the prerelease era was to be able to completely fill it  
 

 
 
 

I’m literally listening to A&W rn and read this right while she was singing the line

I MEAN LOOK AT ME LOOK AT THE LENGTH OF MY HAIR MY FACE THE SHAPE OF MY BODY

I think we should demote everyone who doesn’t have Candy Necklace to “friend of” insiders, instead of “insider” kinda like they do on Real Housewives. 

insiders not wanting to admit they don’t have candy necklace 

we love a humble mod (not that any other mod isn't humble, ofc)

Well she ate

I've been lurking the past few days and it's kinda entertaining seeing the meltdowns & spiraling tbh. I don't know when it got so bad though, ppl seem genuinely distressed over not having an album 2 weeks prior to its release.
 
Maybe the mods need to be more heavy on the warn button. Some girlz here could use a timeout or two. Like it's really not that deep.
Anyway, excited for the new tunes. All the snippets are 10/10 for me so far.
 

i'm still writing it i kept stopping to read this thread  

This thread is giving this energy
