I wasn’t implying Jack’s the reason we’re getting all these piano ballads, i’m just unsure what else he can get provide for us and Lana in the future, in terms of sound. -
I am slightly disappointed by the amount of piano ballads we’re getting/we’ve gotten again. Like, we’ve now had COCC, BB, all stripped down and mostly piano driven and Ocean Blvd was supposed to usher in a new sound supposedly, but to me this record just feels like a continuation of the previous eras since NFR, with the exception of a few tracks. I really wish Lana could just ditch Jack behind because he’s already given us his magnum opus w Lana and that was NFR, someone send him back to Taylor’s studio please.
It’s hard defending the claims Lana’s music puts people to sleep when half of her discography consists of dragged out piano ballads.

Well ladies most of the songs are top notch but who else feels like they don’t flow well together as one album. Maybe if she put the last 3 tracks somewhere after A&W it would make more sense.
Can someone honestly answer me the theme or idea of Ocean Blvd? I get the whole family aspect, but songs like Peppers and Taco Truck take me all the way out.. even though they’re some of the best.

Just now, Terrence Loves Me said:Which song out of peppers and fishtail sounds more slutty?
Spoilerdefinitely peppers

Just now, Thats why they call me Dita said:Just out of curiosity.. and sorry if it’s already been answered (I’ve dropped out of this thread a bit)
is it obvious which songs were Pearl watch me on ring a bell psycho lifeguard? And if so.. which songs do they match to?
None as far as i’ve analysed the album. But we still have to hear Candy Necklace so we shall see -
SpoilerKinda wish The Jon Batiste interlude was actually fleshed into a real song. The melodies and vocals by both Lana and Jon are gorgeous. Plus the instrumental is just out of this world.

I’ve been sure about UV and NFR being my fav albums but now i can officially add the third one… The legendary ms. Ocean Blvd

SpoilerLet The Light In’s guitar melody reminds me of Drowned World (and a bit of I Deserve It) by Madonna

16 minutes ago, Kintsugi said:The answer is simple. Initially, there was another song recorded for the album that got replaced by Candy Necklace. It fits right between these two interludes because of it's wild and unhinged nature. Candy Necklace is way more accessible which is why they decided to switch these songs. I guess the former song will be used in the future but I wouldn't count on it too much, she's screaming in the chorus and the lyrics are almost inaudible.
SpoilerIs Candy Necklace the wild and unhinged song or the one that got cut?

SpoilerTbh i’m having a hard time enjoying the record as a whole, it’s kind of awkward to have deeply sensitive songs about (deceased) family members and then go into shaking your ass and bopping your head to trap beats. Individually, the songs are top notch. I guess I just don’t grasp the meaning behind Ocean Blvd?
-
Please before we start again, can we just acknowledge we all have different tastes and some of us will place the upbeat tracks on top, others on bottom, there is no “correct” listing. Just enjoy the songs and accept the reviews wether good or bad
wish i could @ certain users
-
SpoilerThe way insiders were hyping the Taco Truck outro, i was expecting something explosive with heavy guitars perhaps. It’s still cute, but it could have used more guitar.
NFR VB > TT VB.Top 5 for sure tho

SpoilerI think they just recreated the instrumental to their (Lana’s and Jack’s) own taste. So it sounds softer or whatnot… i wish someone could merge Wanderlust w Fishtail in the chorus
-
SpoilerLet The Light In kinda slaps too actually, i need to go into nature or on a roadtrip for it to rly click with me tho

SpoilerThe way Paris Texas is everything Kintsugi and Fingertips wished to be even tho it’s half as long. Quality > quantity as always.

I understand some people might not like this song but dragging Lana and calling her boring, uninspired etc? Give it a chance maybe idk
I really adore this track and the whole point of remembering your beloved ones.
Now it reminds me of my lovely cat that died earlier this year
I think that side A is really representative. Perfect balance between her personal, deep lyrics and some more upbeat tracks like A&W. Really can't wait for the album ❤️

It’s not like you hacked her or did anything illegal. If anything it’s the music store’s fault.
