Jeanne Dielman

I don’t think any insiders thus far have sugarcoated anything? Kintsugi gave it an 8, which is hardly perfect, and said that the interludes are horrible. BOZ is hardly a Lana fan at this point, so I don’t see what he would gain from sugarcoating, especially when he said for months leading up to BB that he hated it. 
 
i think all 3 opinions we have got have been very similar - it’s a very varied album in which everyone will have something they like, which is perfectly reflected by how different everyone’s rankings have been so far 

Urban Noize getting the last laugh I love to see it..
 

Right?? This album already feels like Lana at her freest and most unrestrained. The fact that she dares to be less polished and uncompromising as she grows in her career is something to celebrate. She has such a unique, volatile, complex mind - us getting a raw glimpse of it like this is such a gift.
 
Anyone reducing it to "uneven" or whatever is completely missing the point (although I know they're just trolling, lol). 

I will never understand why people let random insiders lower their hype. Literally nothing could be said to make me less excited 

I sometimes can’t believe we have only heard
two of 16 tracks and we’ve all decided how we feel about certain tracks and the album as a whole 

some of you guys are so annoying like just stfu

No bb we're getting an emotional rollercoaster, a complex journey into a messy mind and soul that explores the highs and lows of family, memories, insecurities, and life as a whole  An absolute powerhouse of an album I suspect. If you are too unimaginative to see the threads and want to call it an unserious playlist, that's your choice, but I can already see the vision and I just know it's going to be jaw-dropping. 

When Lana says “world-building” I think she’s simply using that phrase to reflect a shift in the lyrical sensibility (as it relates to sonics) that she employs on the records. 
 
There has always been evolution throughout her records, but I think she’s talking about how lyrical motifs (e.g. roses, red dresses) that invoke nostalgia are bolstered with sonics to evoke an overall feeling. That’s “world-building”.
 
Over the years, however, she’s focused less on the mood of the music and has been more lyric-driven, almost narrating events as they are, rather than injecting a dose of aestheticism into it. 
 
So I think people here understand what she means by “world-building” - it’s just a matter of people’s preferences. 

So many people talking about ~world building~ like each Lana album doesn't have its own vibe and atmosphere. Ocean Blvd will follow suit. 
 
I'm beyonddd excited for Ocean Blvd. It's giving sprawling, unhinged, stream-of-consciousness energy. It's 80 minutes long, a variety of flavors, Lana giving negative two fucks... what's not to love? 

Thanks for the response, but you and I have very different definitions of what "world building" is then. Agreed with you about Blue Banisters, but Chemtrails is very much part of that equation due to its cohesive, midwestern and folky soundscape. Everything we know about this album so far and the two released tracks seem to perfectly fit that "LDR universe," whatever that means. 

Idgaf I'll eat up this album anyway 
Margaret could walk out there on a diaper and I'd be like
"MARGARINA YOUR SMILE IS BEAUTIFUL"

How would you rank the album with the rest of her discography? I’m assuming you’ve heard it.

i’m kinda gagged like

lana's holding them hostage

 
rosemead you're next!
