Jeanne Dielman

It's fake. Someone pretended they got sent the album. That part of the pre-release cycle! 

Streams always drop on Saturdays (and Sundays), so it’ll probably rise on Monday. Still, this is her best performing song on the platform to date. 

Oh believe me, me too! I can't stand when people are like this is going to be her first true album since NFR!! Like what...Chemtrails and Blue Banisters are both essential albums, and I don't think Lana would be at a point to write a song like A&W without exploring what she did on the last two albums. Everything she does builds upon what comes before it. I don't doubt for a second that in the future all her albums will be regarded highly for their own unique contributions to her story.

For sure. Just want to clarify to everyone in this thread that I'm not insinuating any of your love for the track is inauthentic. Just thinking hypothetically about the possibility of a much more mellow reaction to the track if it was, say, 5 minutes long and more like Cinnamon Girl than the song as it is now. I love the track, it's super unique and well crafted, I just find the American Whore section to be the heart and soul of the song.

I agree, all those songs are masterpieces too. But I really don't think people's love for A&W is inauthentic or just because they like to bop to the ending. Like maybe the length and the second half are what gets people talking, but then they're captivated by the whole thing and recognize it for how strong it is. If anything, it may convince some of those people to dive deeper into Lana's work and discover songs like White Dress, Chemtrails, etc. I think this album in general is going to open a lot of people's eyes to Lana and she's going to be respected on a larger scale.

A lot of people who I know who don't care for Lana's music have really been loving it, and not just because of the second half. The first half is some of her best songwriting ever, the guitar and piano work is just sublime and her performance is so captivating. I think it makes sense that this song is hitting so hard. Not to say that all her music doesn't because it does, but I think a lot of people don't take the time to properly listen to Lana so they dismiss her on a surface level, but A&W kind of demands to be heard and is catching people's attentions quicker. 

Honestly, fuck patty

people are already starting to dismiss a&w saying that people are only liking it because it's different than the piano ballads she's been making since 2019 and i have to disagree. like even if it was only the american whore part it honestly still would be in my top 10 or somewhere around there. the melodic work, lyrical content and production is just too good

I know that Jack was probably just referring to Lana's instagram username, but I really am getting a "Honeymoon from hell" vibe, with a little bit of Jack's Norman touch on top. Both albums have grand, lush orchestras, a little bit of an outlier (High by the Beach and A&W), super introspective and poetic, etc.

There is such an urgency to A&W, it's the most riveting song she's ever done I think 
 
There's actually an urgency to both songs we have that's really interesting, like she needs to tell these stories  I am so excited for this album

a&w, the track of the century 

I don’t think so. This account always post the numbers in advance. They probably counted partial Sunday’s steams as well. 

yes actually 
 
UGH you just made me realise how iconic it would be to have an A&W music video with her wearing a tiara  I  *really* hope we get an MV.......

'I'm a princess, I'm divisive"
        

I am also not over BB’s video. It’s so underrated 

I had the lyric
stuck in my head all day
