Jeanne Dielman

this has been a monumental day 
 
we have received:
 
1. the biggest collapse since honeymoon honestly 
 
2. the absolute serve of the interview shoot
 
3. the cute interview
 
4. JIMMY JIMMY COCO PUFF 
 
i am EXHAUSTED
 
goodnight girlies, ultrabanisters OUT 

can i honestly just say that although i can see why they might, i really hope people don’t just hear the word ‘whore’ and the trap beat and just completely ignore the social commentary of the lyrical content, because this is possibly her most culturally relevant song since the greatest

this woman is mad how is she having a pastor interlude after this

I feel like it’ll be a more subtle but lyrically impactful track—BoZ compared the record to a travel through memories/places (iirc), so maybe it’s both touching on the themes of the movie while also detailing her time in Texas!
 
I feel like it’s either going to be really fun, or it’ll be a more low-key, somber track

I genuinely think the run from Kintsugi -> Grandfather is going to murder me. Lizzy Grant is going to end my life.

that’s so annoying because I think this song absolutely needs to be together not separate 😭 the second part would honestly be underwhelming if the first part wasn’t there. 
I mean it would still be good but it would blend in with a lot of her unreleased stuff. And the whole production during the transition is one of the coolest things I’ve ever heard. 

Just like all the experimentation and play with sounds, clips, production etc. Somebody mentioned it earlier but def serves Nine Inch Nails to me, maybe mixed with some Bjork. I can see the Massed comparisons too. Just wow, what a fucking experience. Second half def serves Paradise and that unreleased energy/vibe.

Thinking about how important it was that she released the title track first...so much of that song is concerned with cultural memory and the very human desire of not wanting to be forgotten to the the labyrinth of history, and after listening to A&W, I get this sense that this album is Lana's metaphorical swan song (not literal, and no, not into retirement either); it's her loud declaration/expression of her dedication to her music and her art that will cement her as a force of nature in the music industry. Her Ray of Light, so to speak.

my impression of this album is that it is absolutely essential to have the lyrics pulled up while listening. the jimmy coco part is so memorable, that the first half of a&w can get lost. not on lanaboards, but certainly on social media i’ve seen people say they didn’t pay much attention until part 2 or want more songs like part 2, which to me completely erases the whole song and its meaning. like damn you’re just gonna ignore her songwriting? 

Different types of tracks to me, A&W feels more introspective and a reflection of her real life, thoughts, feelings, experiences, etc. That said if I had to pick between the two A&W hits harder than Shades. 

I missed all the hype while being at work. Everything has already been said. Not much to add. I am just fucking floored. Totally wasn't expecting this level. It is amazing how she keeps pushing boundaries and changing 10+ years into her career. Just like, fucking legend behavior. No contemporaries can compete with her, she truly is one of a kind. Song is obv 10/10, instant classic. Love love love both sides, the lyrics just raw and visceral in the best way, there is a real bite that isn't as muted as the last couple albums. We are so fucking lucky guys.

just listened to hey you, i talk to jesus, and a&w in a row and it felt like i was floating. it’s insane how she can still make music this good so far into her career

This album is going to be so intense, like there's really no doubt at this point that it's going to be her best 

I think Kintsugi and Fingertips back to back will destroy the fabric of the universe...

This song made me even more excited for Kintsugi and Fingertips we're in for a treat! 

I can’t stop listening

The acclaim is so, so, so deserved. I am content until March 24th.  

I haven’t seen one comment saying “Lana is back and she’s cooler than ever”
on youtube… she snapped that hard

Happy A&W day! I made a google form for everyone to predict what the best song will be, and I’ll make another around release day to compare what they actually are. If anyone is interested, here is the link

Judah Smith is gonna have a few questions for her ab that line...

Yeah her basically calling god a fraud is wild. I guess she means it bc she wasn’t protected when she needed to be? Idkkk 

dude I just saw a hate comment ab it for the first time that "its one of her worst songs" and that comment got almost 200 likes so far... those ppl need exorcisms bc wtf

Definitely. The slurred delivery is intentional for sure.

The vocal mixing is obviously deliberate, she's like a drunk girl sharing her secrets at a party and you don't catch everything that she says at first, but repeated listens reveal more and more and then you're just like holy shit...

“If I told you that I was raped, do you really think that anybody would think I didn’t ask for it”
 
Woah. This song has layers damn.
