I always liked him. I think. he's a solid critic who actually knows his shit. Some of his criticism of her early stuff was too harsh (wasn't everyone's?), but he's really come around and it's fun to see. He always digs Jack's production, so I'm expecting a 7/10 on this. I still think he'll dislike the interludes and tracks like Fishtail and maybe even Taco Truck. Let's see. Should come out today or tomorrow in full probably.

It woulda fit on LFL perfectly. In fact, a lot of Lana's songs could be re-arranged that way. For example, I always thought Blackest Day would fit perfectly on UV, Grandfather on Norman, Paris, Texas on Chemtrails (especially with "Not all those who wander" being right there), etc.

Grandpa portion of the album is great - what are you on about? i love the album - i just wish there was one proper (radio friendly) bop ala Doin' Time on it to make it more accessible. It's her third album with no bonafide hits in a row. 😩 Hopefully she drops a radio friendly bop solo or collab soon to keep her on billboard (and in public eye). Something fun to perform in concerts. Thank fu*k for snow on the beach, aka her first billboard entry since dont call me angel and her only hit this decade.

7/10

That's your prerogative. To me, it's prolly the most self-indulgent song in her whole discography.

Well, I do agree with some parts of it, e.g. Some of the lyrics are so conversationally baggy they appear to have been improvised on the spot, notably Kintsugi (an overstretched six minute metaphor about Japanese pottery being the secret of life) and Fingertips (five minutes 48 seconds of fretting about her family and the mystery of death).

I mean they got the interludes right.

Yeah, with long interludes, pastors preaching and lyrics like "feeling suicidal" and "fuck me to death, it's definitely more approachable than all that "su-su-su-summertime sadness" and "young and in love" shit

His voice is incredible on CN. Not his usual style but fits so well. I just wish he had more to do vocally on it.

I'm currently obsessed with the line "sitting on the sofa feeling super suicidal!" Her best alliteration since "fresh out of fu*s, forever." I just wish the rest of the lyrics weren't virtually indecipherable. Like, what is "candy necklace" metaphor supposed to be about?

LMAO! THIS RESPONSE... And, yes, definitely evident that the poster is high af. Love it

Me too. A slutty Taco Truck or AW would have been a serve. But, hey, let's wait to see it before we dis it.

i've said a lot of positive things lol.

😘

The beat and her vocals on Fishtail sound 10 x better in HQ. What fresh hell was that leak version? A god-damn phone recording or sth? The beats remind me of Rick's production on Groupie Love (which I loved). So much better in hq / atmos! 😍

no freaking wayyy!!!! I thought it'd be Best New Album at 8.1 max, but they went ahead with 8.3! Damn! It's the second best reviewed album of her career. She ate, we won!

Well, first of all, it sounds sooo much better in HQ! I hereby vow to all of you that I'll never listen to a leak again. Secondly, it's her best album since Norman.

Thanks babe. Just woke so I'm sure I missed a ton.

Ahh didn't see there was a post on that already. Thanks Elle ❤️

Yeah, can't hear it here in Dubai either. Just kinda fades out for that second. But hey, better that than getting slammed with a lawsuit. Who knows how volatile their relationship is.

So, guys, the MV is coming. And it's for Candy Necklace. https://www.instagram.com/p/CqJZ4AqPgNyCS4kth3AQ76kNeT0H6Jglp1NTOc0/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY= Of all the songs on that album, including bangers like Peppers, AW and Taco, I wouldn't choose the darkest, moodiest one. But she has her reasons, I guess.

yes! I knew it'd be higher than bb. We just need pitchfork to fall in line.

yea

Drew is a novice compared to Jack. Like, he should take Jack's masterclass on creativity. I'll never understand how someone can go from working with legends like Max Martin, Jack Antonoff, Emile Hayne and Rick Nowels, to Drew f-ing Erickson.
