oooh this is gonna eat 

kali uçiies is cute and all but aint no way better than CAROGOD and LANALLAH... bozo's taste is putrid sometimes but then i remember he also loves kpop shit so its no surprise

BB was great though

It very well could

here Ocean Bldv was one of highest rated december singles by users

and the album is one of the most anticipated this year

The Grants will open with heavy layered strings and the most dramatic piano ever. honeymoon style. i can feel it. claiming the best song of her career already 
 
also claiming Kintsugi and Let The Light In

He didn't really said it was bad tho he's making fun of people being already disappointed that it's piano only without having heard it 

Ok who the fuck cares about duo lingo we literally got the spill of the year in a week’s span between Boz and Kintsugi let’s celebrate THAT 

Not that it matters that much but am I the only one who has the feeling this one will have a reception similar to NFR? It won’t carry the same “omg Lana is actually one of the best songwriters we have!” narrative because that has already been consolidated but I genuinely think this album will be the portal to a new stage of her career ala Fiona Apple where her albums will get consistently raved and talked about. I can see Pitchfork creaming themselves over this one (long tracks, conceptually dense, unusual use of features, etc) as opposed to the most modest reaction Chemtrails and BB had. This one feels more ambitious and perhaps a more incisive statement from her. 

I think Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd will have good streaming numbers on par with NFR and even in the long-term, the single has been doing much better numbers than Dealer and Watercolor Eyes with 300k+ streams a day almost a month after it's release, and it's RISING again, having in mind it is a very long song and many on the album will be too, this is a strong indicator it will do well as a whole.
Plus it's her longest album ever and has 16 tracks which will result in more streams. 
Also her hype now is bigger than ever, she's getting 14 million+ streams a day (3rd most streamed female artist)
And if we rely on the insiders it's a QUALITY album and it won't surely go unnoticed with the critics and general public too.
The instrumentals will be richer on the album the lyrics also, as we saw on Ocean Blvd, the album really has everything in order to great in the long-term and I really hope it does!
And not to forget her managing team lost Dua Lipa and they will be focusing more on Lana and her promotion which we'll surely get with her second single and tracklist reveal, since her record label has changed and they are aware of her streaming power and charting (BTD on BB200) for sure.
 

The amount of promo I have been seeing for this era already is crazy. Universal is pushing social ads for the single (I saw them on tik tok and instagram). Spotify has her as the face of the "Chill Pop" playlist and has added the single to SO many playlists considering it's only been two days. The amount of ads I'm already seeing of vinyl stores offering the indie exclusive and the standard variant of the album as well is insane considering pre-order was just announced. Not to mention a lot of them have been selling out in hours if not less. 
 
If this truly is going to be her magnum opus it's having a great start 
 
Now she just needs to go live on honeymoon and talk about the tracklist 

I havent felt this shakiness for an album since honeymoon 
 
NFR felt like so long but served at the end
 
but this….this feels otherworldly 
 
the way the strings weep
 
the way the drums lead you
 
the way she swoons
 
the melancholy 
 
wow

She’s really going to outdo Norman isn’t she.
