Jeanne Dielman

This is like everything I love from each Lana album combined into one magnum opus and I fucking love it I can’t stop listening!!!

OMFGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!! 
 
I am fucking speechless, this is obviously one of her best songs of all time, an absolute artistic triumph. It's so wild that the insiders really spoiled nothing because this is such an incredible ride that nothing could really take away from it. A David Lynch horror film as a folk/pop masterpiece. Lana really isn't just making music at this point, she's an artist like no other ever imo. 
 
The first half is so completely insane and that final verse before the change is the most revealing and brutal she's ever written, and then the production literally sounds like some kind of frightening rewind to the past, where we end up in this unsettling trap loop that somehow further explains the questions that she's asking in the first half. She's been wondering how she ended up in this place in life, whether she likes or if it's just who she is, and then this jump back to her Lizzy Grant / teenage self shows that she's been like this for a very long time.
 
Dark, unique, thought-provoking, A MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!

I have a pretty good setup for listening to records. (Speakers are Triangle Borea BR02s). Quality is not going to be perfect streaming it from Spotify to a Bluetooth receiver on my amp, but WOW. Anyone saying the mixing is bad at the beginning, listen to it on some quality speakers. There is so much more going on in terms of nuance and instrumentation here and there throughout the entire track, it’s truly an experience.  The ending sounds absolutely huge, her vocals over the beat are clear and literally sounds like she is in the room. This is going to be amazing on vinyl (assuming the pressing isn’t shite like most some of her vinyl pressings).

surely just a mistake, no insiders have said the tracks are gonna be anything country to my knowledge, pretty sure this just happens with every album 

I have this sense of peace now. 
like instead of being impatient I just feel at peace with waiting until March 24th for the album. 
This song is easily one of her best songs of all time & the title track is pretty strong. 
idk if this makes sense like I’m so excited still but all my anxiousness has gone away and I just feel so at peace with the wait. It’s going to be so worth it and so amazing. I feel like I’m gonna sleep so good tonight because I’ve been smiling and laughing all day. 

idk if anyone follows or uses these sites, but the song currently has a 4.33 on ~270 reviews on RYM: https://rateyourmusic.com/release/single/lana-del-rey/aandw/
 
By far her highest rated song on there and should easily be the #1 single of 2023 once the chart updates. and this site isn’t just like stans, they are usually pretty fair/harsh with ratings 
 
it will fall as more ratings get in but it’s an insanely high start to the rating 

I haven't done a cartwheel since I was nine...
I haven't seen my mother in a long, long time...

so i go to school in the morning and stay there until 12:40pm but on tuesdays and thursdays we have to stay until 5pm so the song was released in my lunch break and i literally had to hide in the children's bathroom (because they don't have classes in the afternoon) to listen to the song 

but OOOOH MYYYY GOOOOD! she fully outdid herself with this one, like debuted straight in her own top 10 for me. what i like the most is that it could've ended on the american whore part with like a slight trap outro (kind of wildflower wildfire/cinnamon girl esque) and i would've still completely loved it. in fact, i might like AW a bit more than the jimmy part. the song has many resemblances with venice bitch— it's kind of its goth sister— especially on the pre-chorus. "I say i live in Rosemead, really, I'm at the Ramada/ It doesn't really matter, doesn't really, really matter" mirrors "You're in the yard, I light the fire/ And as the summer fades away, nothing gold can stay" so well it's unbelievable, so so beautiful. but then the switch up happens and it just elevated it to a whole different fucking level. it's funny, it's not abrupt but it definetly switched up alot for me in the first listen, but when i kept listening while doing other things, it seemed like the most casual thing ever, really well executed. and i of course loved jimmy jimmy coco puff to death, her vocal delivery really resembled the born to die era unreleased songs horny-ish vocals in the second time the NFR! sample comes in, i can really see why she said she made the music just vibing. instant classic.

Your mom called.
I told her,
“You’re fucking up big time.” 

as a lana stan for almost a decade now i think it’s safe to say that this is her best era in fucking YEARS…… i was not prepared to receive such an insane level of servery at this point in her career but i am so so grateful for it 

The song…

This album is really going to be in the Holy Trinity - UV, HM & DYK…

Using cheap headphones to complain about the quality of a studio grade mic is laughable 

I thought you all would think this is funny- my boyfriend who didn’t know about Lana until me literally took his lunch break at work early to listen to A&W and called me frantically ranting about it. 
Another soul recruited 

ForWhateverReason responded to my youtube comment, then to an email! Here is a link to some of his NFR song reviews: https://www.youtube.com/@ForWhateverReasonFWR/search?query=norman
It is hard trying to put quotes into one post! In all seriousness, you may consider going to an audiologist . . . My hearing is sensitive. This track is ground-breaking because the beats part are in good balance. Or perhaps, as some suggested, the phone isn't delivering high quality.
There is BTS from Interview Magazine. Sorry of the repost, but I am learning how to respond in one thread, so I don't overpost!
 
Lots of great info here! Thanx for clarification on the first stanza lyric . . .It made me cry! I have to go to work cleaning up a burnt out apartment in the senior residential I live for an acquaintance so she can come home from the hospital.

There is still so much to process for me, I don't even know what to say about this song other than it's genius, wild & a career highlight
Also this might be the best production Jack has done with Lana for my liking,  he produced some career highlights with Lana for sure but he really served extra hard on this one & I'm proud of him & of Sam who did the percussion I think. But I'm still super shook how Lana sometimes wakes up & comes up with songs like West Coast,  Venice Bitch & A&W etc.  she truly is a genius  
I guess that's coming from the experience of being an american whore
 
0.00 till 7.13 perfection

I can't believe. When the insiders said trap beats i never thought that we will get this Epic lizzy btd trap hymn with ultraviolence verses and a psychedelic Grunge vibe.
 
 
 

This is beautiful! I thought you quoted a professional article without offering credit, but I see you composed it yourself! Good job!
 

Had just posted this in the IG thread, but I guess we know why she didn’t announce the single earlier - our girl was off snoozing x
 

A&W messed me up, and it’s literally one song  I seriously don’t know how I’m gonna react to 14 tracks at the same time on 24 march   I’m not ready 

the calmness really hit this thread today thank god @111 was right 

This photo of Jack is actually haunted 

Somebody help, I can't stop playing A&W. 

Can you believe how hard we won today 
This was like the best Valentine's Day ever & I'm afraid no future Valentine's Day will be able to top that  Her impact
