    Every person who denies is this just truly trying to convince themselves it’s not true.
     
    Lana needs to do something new, and no OB didn’t include anything new.

    i wish lana’s growth took the path of NFR rather than what we have now (many of you would argue that it has but there is a STARK difference between the style of NFR and the style of OB). 
     
    after sitting with the album and the newness wearing off, i like a few songs but dont often feel compelled to come back to the album. i dont relate to most of the lyrical material, i dont find a lot of the melodies to be that compelling, i completely understood what the album was about on first listen, and it doesnt cultivate any sort of atmosphere for me. some songs are career highlights but for the most part, i could take or leave this album. 
     
    maybe lana’s new direction isnt really for me anymore  i can appreciated her growth and the music shes putting out n i love her to death as a person but idk… nothing will compare to her earlier music for me. i just cant make myself enjoy it as much.

    She did that with UV and everything that came after it.

    i love how the chorus of Grandfather has literally nothing to do with the verses, she's talking about the media and her reputation then randomly starts belting out about her dad going fishing, then goes back to the media and her reputation.
     
    it's catchy but how did we get there baby? gotta love her!

    the piano in the jon batiste songs are amazing and so rich like there’s such a marked difference in quality with the other songs on the album. this is not bashing the other songs btw because i do like all the other songs but if she’s going to continue making piano heavy songs, she should work with actual pianists. wildflower wildfire for instance, would’ve been godly with batiste’s piano playing

    The way she phrases “honey” in Jon Batiste Interlude scratches such an itch. The album has so many ear worms

    The original AK Wanderlust is miles more magical and passionate than what we got for Fishtail. Like I was disappointed…

    nothing can compare to the supremacy of white dress and cruel world  she set the bar too high

    My honest personal opinion on Fishtail and why I think it's the only weak spot on Ocean Blvd: I don't like that it's a straight-up trap song, it sorta ruins the flow of the album, especially after such classic-sounding songs like Let The Light In and Margaret. It should've been more of a trip hop with actual drums instead of 808s. It does "prepare" the listener for the next two songs, but still. The lyrics rely too much on the "You wanted me sadder" topic which was much better executed in previous songs (like Mariners Apartment Complex), and the whole "you told me you were going to do X but you didn't" idea is a carbon copy of Blue Banisters (one of her best songs thematically). Also, the vague Ella name-drop falls flat in comparison with the rest of the album's genius references and interpolations.
     
    I do love the whole intro right before the trap beat, I love how it builds up and feels beachy and breezy. I love the Jump reference.
     
    Overall, it's not a bad song, but certainly a weak LDR song, especially inside of an album that is everything but weak.

    It would be so fun if we got some uptempo plastic pop rock bops on the next album

    That ugly ass sparkle sound takes me out of fingertips  like it just ruins the flow and I can’t believe they put that on the mastered version of the song
