The stars are aligned in many ways for Lana to hit us all real hard

I think Chemtrails is the better album for me out of the 2021 releases. To me, it has higher highs and I prefer its intimate atmosphere and shorter, more precise track list. 
 
Blue Banisters has lower highs and lower lows imo. I also just think it’s too long of an album with too much going on. It feels messy and less purposeful to me. 

COTCC for me is the better Lana album of 2021. I’ll never forget that cold Monday in January when I was rushing to get home from work and listening to title track for the first time. It still gives me chills. 
 
WD-COCC-TJF is the best 1-2-3 punch. WAH/NAWWAL/DBJAG are all career highlights. Yosemite proves LFL was her at her peak, BUS is a missed soundscape (I love the smokey bar feel of the song) and Dance Till We Die’s bridge still hits so so hard! 
 
i know she killed the Chemtrails era basically the day after it came out by announcing RCS, but it deserved so much more 

She’s saying “and by the mayor, the rallies in the streets…”! This line seems to connect to part of a stanza in LA Who Am I to Love You:
 
”Hancock Park, it's treated me very badly, I'm resentful
The witch on the corner, the neighbor nobody wanted
The reason for Garcetti's extra security”
 
Eric Garcetti is the mayor of LA, and Lana has a house in Hancock Park, so it seems that she lives close to the mayor and is alluding to this in both the poem and VFR!

For me, 'Dealer' is just a trifle, almost a novelty track. It doesn't bother me. It would be interesting to hear Lana doing both parts.
 
To me, it's unfortunate that the wider public always seems to get to know primarily what are essentially Lana's B-side tracks, like the 'Summertime Sadness' remix, 'Doin Time,' and now 'Dealer.' The broad public has never heard the essences of her work, all her best material. 

dealer is not that great, miles ruines it

Beautiful contains the most satisfying verse to sing along to on the album:
 
"Let me show you how sadness can turn into happiness I can turn blue into something"
 
The way that line descends and just LANDS. The first time I got it right I was stoked! Also it's the mission statement of the whole album hello. 

I actually love Beautiful. I'm obsessed with the piano in it 

listening to Beautiful rn to spite u all 

Its seems like a big ideia that she didnt know how to finish to me.. I mean Picasso is fine but the rest is pure repetitive bullshit that a basic songwritter could wrote

Idc I love Beautiful, Picasso line and all

I hope we get less piano driven songs this time.

One (1) vibraslap hit buried underneath a sea of piano chords 😌 

If by bombastic we get a Gwen Stefani pop record (L.A.M.B.) that would be great. Gwen is underrated as a predecessor to so many post-00s works... We wouldn't have had Born To Die, or Fame, without Gwen's music thru the 90s-00s, and of course not without just wait til you get your little hands on L.A.M.B. 

It's happening 
 


 
 
 

Might be way off but I have a feeling LA Who Am I (the 2018 song) will be on this album, and that will be the general sound
 
After mentioning wanting to collab with Migos (), Interlude/Trio, and Jack saying the songs stood out differently from NFR and COCC sessions, I would not be surprised if we get a project in the realm of that sound
 
If that happens, I'm 100% sure Mike Dean will be back as well 

If LDR9 serves moments that makes me feel like:
- Venice Bitch
- Black Bathing Suit
- White Dress
- Heroin
- Brooklyn Baby
- The greatest
- Dealer
- Ride
- Bel Air
- Honeymoon
- Off to the Races
- Swan Song
 
I swear this will be her magnum opus, her golden era. Her BTD 2.0 of this new decade.
 

Everyone who thinks the crows are annoying,  annoys me. No BBS slander on my watch

behind the iron gates : do not cross  iron gates Stans won again

this is probably blasphemy to say, but I want Iron Gates and the cover album before the new album. I feel like the feature could be a one off/for someone else since BOZ said “we may or may not” get it

I think it’s cute Lana feels the need to justify herself on this album:
 
“I only mention it ‘cause it was such a scene.”
 
“I only mention it ‘cause I’m ready to leave LA, and I want you to come.”
 

Tulsa Jesus Freak is still such a good & sensual song  I really wish we would have gotten a music video for this song. It might sound crazy but I would have loved a cult themed music video for it shot by BRTHR. The back cover is giving me cult vibes as well. I know the song is not about a cult but I have to admit it makes me feel like I'm in a cult, visiting Arkansas & blowing out  candles while screaming White Hot Forever Amen in the wind while Niko & Topanga meowing in the background 

Let Me Love You Like A Woman is my most played song on Spotify wrapped
