each day i get obsessed with a different track. today is being all about the title track 

It’s too early, we’re gonna be sent into a downward spiral with an artwork being released 6 months before the actual release. I know I am.

ahh guys I think I am FINALLY getting INTO this album!!
I feel like... imperfect for you needs more love!!
bye is a bop. obviously.
we can't be friends (WAIT FOR YOU LOoOoOoVE!!!) is stuck in my head rn. as well as idwbua!
the intro and title track are cute too!! supernatural is really catchy!!
i wish i hated you is making me fucking tear up tbh... 🥺
 
I am sooo happy it's clicking for me already 

I really didn’t connect with this album on my first listen but something drew me in to keep listening to it… I love it now.
 
There’s a feeling of muted sadness permeating through the record that’s really appealing coming from a pop star of her status - generally (pop) artists go big or go broke with their breakup/divorce albums but this one is quiet, adult heartbreak. The one that doesn’t destroy you completely but lingers indefinitely. The title itself tricks you into thinking the album conveys a different message but once you realize it was inspired on the Eternal Sunshine film, the whole thing clicks.
 
And sonically? She does Aaliyah, TLC, Mariah Carey, Robyn, Missy Elliott… all in a very cohesive package that sounds undoubtedly hers. Very very good record and a mature overview of one’s life crumbling. The Supernatural - The Boy Is Mine run is actually insane.

which pop songs? the ones she hasn’t released since 2018? 💀

Let’s ride

A.G. is being messy to Camila with I Got It on tiktok now

100k of those streams are from me 

I think you should temper this expectation now or this album will disappoint you. She keeps telling us this is a club album. Club music is by nature minimal and repetitive. There might be 2-3 "bridges" on the entire album. Most songs will probably only have 1 verse... This is not a pop album, which means she is not even attempting to make fleshed out pop songs. The sooner everyone gets on board with the new song structures (or the lack thereof) the sooner you'll start appreciating the songs for what they are.

half a million streams within the first 7/8 hours of streaming is actually pretty damn good

Yeah, for some reason there's a bunch of stans who think Lana has gone safe / basic since NFR!, when in literal technical ways it's the total opposite

Lmao huh??? 
fingertips (a deeply personal song with 10 verses and no chorus)
kintsugi (another deeply personal song that goes for 5 minutes with no attempt for mass accessibility)
The Grants 
wildflower wildfire (chopped drums)
text book (slowing down in the chorus on an opening track and single for an album)
blue banisters
white dress (tame??)
wild at heart/if you lie down with me/black bathing suit/dealer/living legend/tulsa/DBJAG/dance till we die (tame???)
a&w (tame?)
ocean blvd
 
nothing about this gives "tame" lyrically or sonically - post norm she started including actual details up to the actual names of her innermost family and the music has only doubled down in its lack of accessibility. contrasted to something like UV/honeymoon -> LFL releasing COCC, BB, and NFR does not at all seem "tame" so what is this "it's quite obvious" there's not contradictions here y'all just have no critical thinking skills
 
also jack didn't work only any of BB or like 5 of the songs of OB and on the ones he did (on OB) there were many other producers involved as well

Take notes, Scammys made me laugh a little bit because these people showered Taylor Swift with awards not even the Grammys dared to.
