My interpretation of paris texas is that it works on two levels. One is about feeling out of place geographically. But the last verse turns it into a song that's also about feeling out of place in a relationship. When u reach that point where u know it's over and time to leave. Works rly well with the reference to the movie which also touches on those themes.

I legit saw the 9 coming lol. I actually do think it's her most skillful work, edging out NFR. "Best" is too subjective. I get why Fantano trashes her early albums -- they are more reliant on vibe and aesthetic, and so if you're too nerdbrained like him you won't enjoy/relate to them. Her last 4 albums move away from this to more universal themes and objectively brilliant songwriting. And imo OB is by far her most thoughtful work in terms of how the songs progress and interconnect to tell a larger story. ... also, I have this suspicion that after his divorce he might be more in his feelings and vulnerable to lana's spell. two more thoughts: 1. I notice many fans consider it out of the question for OB to be better than NFR. I'm not saying it is -- time will tell -- but it's worth considering. I think NFR gets a positive bias because it was SUCH a leap forward for her that it had an extra wow factor. 2. I really appreciate lana including the last 3 tracks for the fans. It was obvious from a mile away the score would take a hit from critics for these songs. But for those of us who have appreciated her across her different eras, they were such a treat. I don't even consider them that out of place. They fit in the emotional journey of the album from a place of hurt/vulnerability, to healing, to a sexy/confident ride off into the sunset. Like A&W drives home earlier, Lana contains multitudes and contradictions. She's grown so much yet she's still that bitch, and I love her for that.

watertown is closer to me (i dm'ed them on ig and they said it's at 4pm) but i could do braintree if that's where most ppl are going. idk what time that one is, I think maybe 7pm.

anyone going to one of the MA listening parties?

told my younger brother to take this class but hes a bio major and not particularly a fan. SMH

im aware and i love carti's ad libs on that track but that's really all it is. it left me wanting a lot more!!

if lana goes mainstream again i want her to collab w playboi carti

1. NFR 2. UV 3. BB 4T. LFL 4T. BTD 6. COCC 7. HM 8. aka

no way is she changing her sound with the goal of winning awards! she's at a very different stage in life from when she made her earlier albums. BB took longer than the other albums to click for me (except HM, which im still waiting on lol), but it's so personal and poetic. and the increasingly stripped down instrumentals force her to be at her most creative in terms of how she uses her voice. the greater critical praise is just incidental to these qualities. but ofc id love one more album with UV vibes, who wouldnt lol. praying jack donaghue gets her re-channeling her witchy energy.
