i feel like on paradise she already started departing from the born to die sound, just not as drastically as with ultraviolence. but that makes sense since her label wanted to tack it onto born to die so it still had to match a little bit. but then i feel like honeymoon, norman f**king rockwell & ocean blvd all have moments that sonically echo back to paradise still. i imagine the production on paradise is closer to the sound she wanted for born to die. and as someone who finds born to die's production a little overwhelming and repetitive at times, i find paradise's production a lot more enjoyable overall. and while lorde certainly copied lana's overall vibe musically, i find her production was always a little more minimal and synthetic compared to lana's and lana was always going to experiment with different sounds since she did before she was famous too so i don't think lorde had anything to do with her abandoning that sound.

a&w isn't the only song that's something new for lana. i'd say fingertips & paris, texas & peppers are all new ground for lana too. idk if you quite count the jon batiste interlude as a song but that's also aomething new and different for her, very revolution 9.

in 2017 lots of people were saying it felt like the true follow up. i'm not sure if here bc i wasn't here but all over social media its what people were saying and i'm sure there were some reviews that said the same thing. they were saying ultraviolence and honeymoon were too mellow and uncommercial and that they didn't have the same punch born to die did but that lana was back to form with lust for life. i don't agree with the sentiment but i saw it a lot.
 

people saying ocean blvd feels like the true follow up to norman is just like back in 2017 when people were saying lust for life felt like the true follow up to born to die. but we all know that's not true and it isn't this time either. i feel like all lana's albums have something special and important about them even if some of us don't like some of them. i don't think ocean blvd could've existed in its current form without lana getting thru chemtrails and blue banisters first.

I'm so glad we got Kintsugi on this album. I really love having a song to cry to lol

Ocean Blvd is sooooooooo powerful 

Pass me my vape I'm feeling sick, I need to take a puff 
 
That's iconic

My fav lyrics from this album 
1. You’re so funny I wish I could skinny dip inside your mind 
2. Grandfather please stand on the shoulders of my father while he’s deep-sea fishing for sharks in the pacific 
3. i just smile cause babe I already know you know I got nothing under this overcoat 
4. I say I live in Rosemead really I’m at the Ramada it doesn’t really matter doesn’t really really matter
5. Got a cop [shhhh] who turned on the back beat, puts the shower on while he calls me 

you say there's nothing new and want an album full of the same kind of songs

girl its gonna take a lot more than that to damage my speakers. i've listened to so many bad quality bootlegs from the 70s super loud and my speakers handle it just fine and they're vintage. maybe newer speakers aren't as durable or something. like its a valid thing to be concerned about but its just not relevant to me and i'm fine with that

tbh i don't even know what people mean when they say a song has "clipping". maybe i'm dumb but at least i'm happy so i don't mind not seeing the production flaws or whatever. but sound quality has never been a big deal for me anyway. i care more about the songs themselves.
