We won!!! Wish she paid up for longer lasting trails and the rest of the title. 

This is her grown-up "Sirens." Chill, meditative, slow-burn.
 
For me, TJF is the only one I would listen to as a standalone "single." The album overall is way more country than I would usually like, BUT I think it is the absolute perfect album to sing along to for a long road trip across open spaces...especially at night. For me, she's channeling the artists she loves so much that if you told me this was a cover album of lost songs from Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, etc, I would 100% believe you. However, I know it's just a side of her we haven't seen before...earnest, romantic, mature. I see myself listening to it in the car a lot.
 
P.S. Yosemite made me cry, but that might be because I thought we'd never get it?

this record feels like she's finally coming full circle. i feel like this record is her truest form and hopefully will break away that image of "daddy's coke princess" many younger fans seem to have. 

the BTS stans having a literal meltdown on twitter over gaga is... something  i’ll never understand people who let celebs consume their whole lives like that but oh well 

also i agree with some comments made above about how lana has changed a lot. lizzy grant was something i have never heard from anyone ever and will never hear again i dont think, theres just nothing that compares in my opinion. i know she's still making music, but i sometimes sense that she just doesn't enjoy it anymore, and that she keeps going because it's the only option she has - to keep making music and to keep writing maybe due to a sense of personal fulfillment or a contract. but something's changed, and i dont know what, but it has. everytime i see her im just thinking: do you actually want to write music or do you feel obligated to?

and come back to New York 

Same day
 

"Chemtrails is being at a standstill.... of trying to figure out what the next move in life was"
 
 

here we go with negative shit tryna to get anything to drag about even this beautiful cover lol

Plus, we speak to legendary songwriter Rick Nowels – who has worked with Lana on all of her albums to date – about their studio experiences together. 
 

That cover.. she look gorgeous. "plus how she fought to be understood as an artist" uh oh.. i'm scared whenever this convo comes up now.

loveeee the wild at heart gif lol

on a different note i hate the whole intense moral superiority stance some people take with leaks. the moral/ethical issue is NOT with the people who listen (especially if they listen to the album when it's released and/or buy physical copies), it's with those who LEAKED it in the first place and spread the links around 

nooOOOOO why are we suddenly trashing this album.... i just listened to it i need someone to be excited with me 

Screaming at this ATRL post, but I lowkey feel the same without being so hyperbolic:
 
 

I personally love it! It’s what I like the most about her voice, and I also think her voice never sounded better than on this album
But I can totally understand why you don’t like those specific vocals. My mom feels the same way, she prefers Lana’s low notes, but she’s a sucker for low voices in general haha 

Bestie not you saying this.. worst taste awards ended last month
