can i fuck him instead of the rest?

All I care about is 

Review, fuck the rest 
 

When I turn up to my city's listening party and I know all the lyrics to the songs already

the way some people act about the reviews make it seem like she’s at 30 on metacritic  yeah I wanted her to have the NFR acclaim too but this album isn’t accessible to casual listeners enough besides in a few eras it won’t even matter and this album will be remembered as one of the beloved ones by fans just like ultraviolence.

The reactions to the leak in this forum is giving me major deja vu to when NFR! first leaked. There was a similar vibe in that it was so soft rock compared to her previous releases, and then a bit of spicy divisiveness over which tracks were the best, and a lot of statements on which songs should be removed. 
 
I take this as a positive, since it's proving the album isn't boring, and I think pared with the reviews (which have been generally positive), that the album is going to be a grower and eventually reach the reputation NFR! has. Do I think the critics will put it as high as that one? Probably not, it seems more introspective and without an overall commentary that they tend to eat up (it was years ago, but my receipts are here somewhere in early 2019, I predicted it's acclaim based on the singles almost a year in advance.) 
 
In general, the way critics are comparing it to Leonard Cohen, and the fans have been kind of scratching their heads and praising the lyrics in equal measure - this feels like one of those mid-career releases that singer-songwriters do that doesn't become a "best of all time" thing, but that generally most agree is a strong statement and personal denouement that only a great can convince a major label to release. 
 
This is about all I have to say, at the moment. I'm excited for the record based on the reaction. NFR! ended up being way better than I ever expected it to be, so y'all responding to it the way you are makes me think there's something special and unique to take in - which is nice after the laidback and predictable (not in a bad way) period of COCC and BB. 

Keep in mind that some of the highest-rated albums ever on MC are unlistenable, at least to me anyway. Art is subjective and idc what the reviews say, this album is a smash hit 

taco truck is such a banger wtf

lanas post reached 1m likes on insta/also im feeling something coming soon since she left the account open idk

I’m really excited to hear the CN instrumental in HQ bc
 

The way Fingertips just randomly clicked for me?? Last time I heard it I wasn't feeling it at ALL. Maybe I wasn't depressed enough.. 

For those like me who haven’t listened to the songs yet, my tip is to hear all lanas album I’m anticipation to OB release - which also helps with streamings  you can do it like:
1. Monday: BTDPE
2. Tuesday: UV and HM
3. Wednesday: LFL and NFR
4. Thursday: COCC and BB
5. Friday: OB 

She spilled.

yall are freaking out over nothing, i think it's obvious that she meant that the video she posted was filmed at 5AM working on the song 

One thing is for sure in my mind: this album is dense and intense, and I’m pretty sure I won’t love every part of it at first. My définitive ranking / thoughts on it will take a couple of weeks. 

Candy Necklace is so iconic already 
 
The reviews omitting it or describing it as glitch pop - whatever that is - are suspicious but I don't think we're getting a different version on streaming.
 
The snippets Lana posted sound like what we have and even if they are from months ago when they just finished it, she wouldn't post them if it changed drastically... unless she's feeling chaotic and in a troll mood of course 

Want something positive?
 

Candy Necklace is perfect as it is, we don't need a different version 

What a dreadful 30 pages I just read 
 
Anyways, the reviews are good but she deserves better and some of them are just so carelessly written that it's frustrating. It's fine if you don't like something but find a different career if you don't want to review thoughtfully. I still think Pitchfork is gonna pull through with a rave. 

'constructive criticism'. Sure.

smile and nod y'all
