    Anyway, STOP complaining about stupid things please. Let this poor woman rest. I wish all the success of the world to Lana and I m also interested in sales, but this just TO AN EXTENT. Who the f cares! Lana just gave us a splendid album, probably one that will stay in the music history, and we are worrying about Spotify streams?? We are even taking into account things that matter to Ariana or Mustin stans?? Having said that, the album is doing great anyway, look at the records she achieved, so I really don’t know where you looked from. COTCC is not meant for the masses, but still she is delivering with sales. Just stop, disconnect from internet and listen to the Music.

    I love the complexities of Yosemite tbh it sounds very pastoral and new age-y almost, which really matches with the witchy vibe LFL originally was going to have. Reminds me of Simon and Garfunkel almost (something like Scarborough Fair - which makes sense since she samples it in Cherry). Also I swear I hear a flute but I don’t see it in the credits?

    After having the album on repeat since yesterday I’ve got to say this is definitely in my top 3 I’m really enjoying the maturity within it and I think this is a really solid heartfelt album from Lana, I do hope her next album will be produced by someone else though just to spice things up a bit more but jack has done a great job! I also hope she doesn’t go too far country apart from her planned country album but overall I love this album so bloody much!!!

    SALVATORE'S UPDATED THOUGHTS ON YOSEMITE
    yosemite- i lied above. i listened to the entire record with the incense and the breeze but yosemite i saved, i saved until the dead of night, and drove to an observatory be alone in my car outlooking the silent city sparkling on cliffside, engulfed in pines and hibernating wildflowers and i played yosemite on repeat for 45 or so minutes staring silently into the dead. this song is everything i've ever wanted. it's what kept me alive in a year i tried my best not to be and i built a fun following around it, i emailed interviewers, writers, tried to find photographers and collected every bit of information of the song i could. bought magazines that referenced yosemite, i did an entire paper around Yosemite by John Muir. I have two shirts from the 70s referencing yosemite, i've stumbled upon bottle openers from the park out in the roads where i'd walk alone at night hoping i'd be at the wrong end of a desperate persons violence for no reason other than trying to find feeling, yosemite is a lot to me and when we didn't get it in LfL i was heartbroken and decided to crave it more than ever before
     
    upon her interview of MAC/VB i knew Architecture was the theme of Norman. Even though the song said to not start the new record i felt she wouldn't give up the past title track of Lust for Life that easy, or at least her muse wouldn't. The description of norman as a cocky artist with an ego that needed settling, the rejected scraps of White Mustang's music video, it all felt too coincidental and i called it that Architecture would have inspired, or be on the album (i was right), following i felt Yosemite would come to fruition here, having Lust for Life be this disjointed parent record of Norman Fucking Rockwell, i figured it'd stay similar for 'White Hot Forever'; the attempts at social commentary, the deliverance into an acoustic side to her discography, they'd be messily glued on Lust for Life and then refound in their own spaces, and now they have been. and Yosemite is the song of Chemtrails.
     
    The music itself is everything i had hoped, it was brooding, optimistic, enchanting, emotional and methodical. Her rescinding the song out of vocal vulnerability in the same breath she killed malibu out of fear of transparency found a funny way into an album full of airy and broken vocals. White Dress being a thread laced through Wild at Heart in the way it is through Yosemite through Dark through For Free. The a capella she sung in 2017 obviously didn't do it justice and how anyone thought it could was laughable and that is their own fault. Her voice here is gorgeous, the song writing is beautiful, the atmosphere created in this song is so . fucking. beautiful. I knew this song was my favorite she's ever made before hearing it and I've heard it and it's still the best song she's ever created. The bridge is like a god speaking through the sky in thundering tongues and lightning flares. The imagery i suspected years ago of desert-y folk songs you'd look out over the desert and see an impending storm rings true, this is the calm inside a storm, it's an ignorant and threatened peace. i see nothing but rainless storms and sharp winds light by the invincible glow of candlelight. Yosemite is immaculate, a highlight, and a mission statement for the record. It couldn't be without Chemtrails and Chemtrails couldn't be without Yosemite. 
     
    She wasn't quite at yosemite in 2017, and being able to confidently proclaim enough that she could put a song about doing things for free on a record bookended with a memoir about making art for free, and a collaborative homage to a song about lovingly observing others making art for free is quite powerful. Her never mentioning Yosemite in the lyrics is powerful
     
    Yosemite being the only 1-word song on this album is powerful. 
    She's so powerful, and so very realized

    The Guardian has posted a supplemental review of Chemtrails (4/5) by Kitty Empire after Alexis Petridis’s review (3/5)!
     
    I wonder why they had two reviews this time, though?

    I hope Powers stays out of it. She's a supreme egoist. She thinks that if Lana and all other women don't think exactly like her in all regards, as if they were nothing but defiant reflections of herself, they deserve a public scolding, as if Powers is God herself. Her review and criticism of NFR!--an album I largely didn't care for--was absurd. 
     
    Powers' name has gone to her head.
