okay thanks

I just spoke to Lana. She said "yes, it's unmastered" then later she called me f slur for listening to leaks

Saving this before the Spotify numbers will come out. 

On my way back to the ferry to take me home after attending the listening party. This album is amazing, can’t wait to listen to it with headphones and catch all the lyrics properly. I’ve waited to listen to A&W til the album dropped or well, until today. Loved it, left the party wishing I could hear it again and then I remembered it’s actually a single - yay! xD
Not sure what I expected of fishtail but it surprised me in a good way. A great way! Can’t wait to listen to it again too.
I didn’t mind the interludes, but I’ll have to hear Job Batiste interlude a bit better before I know for sure.
Absolutely love The Grants. I really appreciate that she kept the mistake at the beginning of the song. It kinda sets them vibe for the rest of the album? This album... is special. Very word-y like Lana said. Very close to heart, very close to Lana’s innermost thoughts and feelings. I got a warm feeling listening to it. I think this is the best we’ve gotten since Norman, and I think this might actually be better than Norman.
Let the light in with FJM was really beautiful, don’t want to say too much for those who want to avoid spoilers.
Margaret sounded like she gifted the song to Jack and his fiancé for their wedding. Once again, warm feelings.
 
Overall, I just feel like, if you’ve spent lots of money on preorders, I feel like it’s been worth it. If you haven’t, that’s fine too. This album will please most fans, I think.
 
Two more days, let’s go!

Listening party review-
was cute n vibey, about 100 people, most got posters and wristbands. A lot of chatting throughout so wasn’t a complete focused vibe on the music but was nice to meet a few stans and have a couple drinks at the bar that’s in the record store x Album was incredible, so much better than the l*aks, was great to hear it on proper HQ speakers. Grabbed a beautiful poster which I’ll frame and hang on a wall. Can’t wait for midnight tomorrow ❤️💅💅

You put The Grants twice babz 

peppers…. wow. still thinking about it even after i’ve left the listening party. SO FUN. and the sheer surprise of how heavy the venice bitch sample was?? i expected a little nod and wink, noooo she went all in!!! absolutely incredible. a spiritual experience.

it sounded absolutely amazing!! what i will say about this record (granted i was at a listening party so i heard it on record store speakers) is the quality of vocals are really great, you can hear everything. the whole album feels really mastered! and that song in particular was GORGEOUS

The listening parties look really cringey I already made plans with my friend to go but oh well maybe we will just grab the merch and dip

Me listening to the grants for the first time watching an old home movie of my own family

these listening parties are reminding me of when i listened to honeymoon for the first time thru an audio recording of someone standing in urban outfitters. rick nowels went crazy with the sounds of clothing rack hangers jangling

I just came home from a listening party and the people there consisted of locals listening to taylor swift instead of Lana and not even knowing that we got to listen to the album two days prior release, a guy complaining about Jack Antonoff’s singing during Margaret and another American (mind you this was in Europe) who was rude towards the employees and rolled his eyes at everyone including me and my friend (and of course he managed to win the merch…) other than that the album was a masterpiece as always and I got a poster. Which is the whole reason I turned up.

getting ready for the listening party 💋
