She’s going to sing Beautiful on Colbert and that’s that on that. If she doesn’t I will literally sue

This is extremely powerful and wise. Her little snapshots of today will define our times for the future. 

The way she's actually being vintage by making modern references because "vintage" kids will listen to it 50 years down the line and see them as old references  I understand her vision and I love it 

When Friday comes and the streaming version is a totally different album 

Chemtrails is the second most reviewed album released this year on AOTY and like someone else said it’s her second most acclaimed album. Don’t know if BB will be acclaimed or not but don’t think critics are going to ignore it. 

I don't think Chemtrails broke that stride. The actual reviews for the album were excellent, her second best after NFR. Sadly (and unfairly) QFTC ended the highs that came with NFR, and then the mesh mask and other controversies only furthered that, so by the time Chemtrails and the three singles came out, the press was afraid to write about Lana. I think without any of the drama, the positive attention she was getting around NFR would have only continued to build, but unfortunately people were quick to forget that they briefly loved her and instead returned to thriving on drama and writing unfair takes about her that lacked nuance.
 
I sincerely hope that all that is far enough away that people will return to the music, because as we know, no one does it better than Lana and it's about damn time that the industry properly recognizes that. If not, well then so be it, millions of people know how incredible she is, and her legacy will last forever. 

I also like her play on words, which she spreads again in this album. There's a lot of subtle humor in it:
 

A beautiful heartbreaking masterpiece?

ive listened to the whole album 100 times and im still so lit for friday. cant wait to storm up to my target like the local homosexual I am, 8am, coffee in hand, and buy 3 copies of the target cover.
Then I cant wait for my Lana website exclusive cover to ship either. Tis early christmas indeed

At this point, we have a lot we could use for a Lana x Barrie playlist. 
 
Brooklyn Baby
Unidentified Flying Bill
Necter of the Gods
Riverside
Living Legend
If You Lie Down With Me
Summerwine
 
wasnt there one other collab they did? or am I missing anything?

My problem with Madame X is it's too all over the place and excessively autotuned dddd. Without that terrible Autotune over them, Crazy, Come Alive, Batuka, Back That Up to the Beat, Extreme Occident, Dark Ballet (this one has a terrible bridge) and God Control could've been way better. I Rise, Crave and Future are my favourites and maybe the only ones I like just the way they are. Medellín and Bitch I'm Loca shouldn't have never existed.
And then some lyrics are too on the nose that actually are not it. Killers Who Are Partying.
And I'm not a fan of mixing languages in the songs, but well.
After its release I haven't really revisited it too frequently but my opinion hasn't changed. I wonder if it's her last album.

happy page 666

If Lana used my edit of Nectar of the Gods I'm pretty sure it would receive a lot less hate  
I still love the original though.

There's a lot of connections lyrically within songs on the album that I've noticed. Here's a little "masterlist" I've complied of some of the ones I picked up on. I feel like these really point to the themes of the album.
 

the father 

 
the son 

 
and the holy spirit 

maybe the real trio is the friends we made along the way

It's gotta be Arcadia, but I would like a 2-song medley that segues into The Greatest. It kills me that THE quintessential 2020 song was not performed in 2020.
