Jeanne Dielman

just seen that A&W is smashing on Spotify, the hold lana has on the general public is insane 

I want to take the time to appreciate that this is the first LDR album cycle in a while that feels like 95% of us are united and excited for 
 
When I first read the W magazine interview where she contrasted the album to Honeymoon, brought up Swan Song, revealed her automated songwriting process for this record, and shared the opening lines to Fingertips, a song that seems like is super special to her since she mentioned it so many times now, I knew her magnum opus/Ray of Light moment was upon us. I just didn't know it would unite LanaBoards 

the correct lyrics are on spotify now!

Given that both insiders told us that the second half of the album is stronger than the first one and yet we’ve already been gagged by tracks 2 and 4, I think that we’re going to get a truly great record.
 
So many tracks have been highlighted by them: The Grants (full and gorgeous), Candy Necklace (massive), Kintsugi (best song of all-time according to our favourite insider), Fingertips (stunner), Paris, Texas (delicate highlight), Grandfather (BOZ’s favourite), Let The Light In (singled out by both insiders), Fishtail (the potential fan favourite of the album), Peppers (a slutty vibey bop apparently), Taco Truck (an outro for the books). Even Sweet is praised for its beautiful strings, Kintsugi thinks that Margaret is actually great, and BOZ adores the instrumentation on both interludes. 
 
This album is shaping up to be one of the most important works in Lana’s career. 
 

patty listening to a&w

Can we talk about how progressive rock the intro to A&W is 
 
It feels like a Pink Floyd track is about to begin 

BoZ also shared the "official" Ocean Blvd lyrics and the intern didn't even understand the Harry Nilsson line 

Wow, this song has really upped my anticipation for the album.  I absolutely loved the title track, this song however was very unexpected.  These two songs together really makes me feel like we're going to get the progression from NFR that I've been wanting (An NFR-like-album but filtered through a sense of magical realism/surrealism if that makes sense *haha*).  (The trajectory of these two tracks feels very much like Chemtrails -> White Dress to me.)
 
It was hard to wait before, but now I can't wait to hear the entire project because I feel like it will be such a journey with vision.
 
EDIT: I've really come to appreciate "Chemtrails" the album for what it ended up being, but the title track and "White Dress" made me think we were going in a different direction which I'm feeling this album is going to deliver on *haha*

anyways isn’t my new lock screen a slay??

Yeah, the Judah Smith Interlude’s instrumentation is very unsettling and eerie according to BOZ. I’m actually very excited about it. It feels like the natural continuation of the darkness of A&W. He loves the Jon Batiste Interlude. Apparently it’s very wild and heavy on electric guitars! Both interludes will be divisive - Kintsugi dislikes them, lol! -, but I’m glad she’s not playing it safe. What intrigues me the most is that both insiders told us that the album is
sonically adventurous and unexpected and that there will be something for everyone. The track rankings will be all over the place, but it’ll be the sign of a great diverse album.

2,401,100 filtered streams?! The track surpassed Ocean Blvd’s second day and NFR’s first day streams! A 7-minute track with zero playlisting and promo did that. This is insane! I -

51200 minutes left till album release... if you start streaming A&W and Ocean Blvd on repeat, you'd have given both songs 4600 streams by March 24  now, if all of LB join the mass stream, there are bigger chances for Lana to get #1  
 
Let's get to work, ladies!

I really think it was a smart move. If we got another ballad as the second single, the song might have been more « unnoticed ». Plus it’s a massive track: we need some time to let it breathe, to absorb it. 

A&W is so showstopping I feel like this is gonna be my favorite song off the album. It’s truly one of her best songs. It gave me a lot more excitement for the rest of the album. Even though the title track’s amazing, it wasn’t too different from Blue Banisters so my expectations for the album weren’t crazy high. A&W’s a total shift. And it’s not even because of the (absolutely insane and amazing) Jimmy part of the song. Even the American Whore part by itself would’ve been one of her best songs. The first 2 lines alone give me chills. The Jimmy part does take the song to a whole nother level though.
