i think it's a profound statement to think about when u've got this girl to woman singing about her adventures from a place of just being on her own, tryna make her dreams come true alone, all the way to her being able to sing so comfortably about her family. 

her start, her response to the media w UV, HM solidifying her perspective/ artist status. LFL's hopes, NFR's taste of direction and devastation. to Chemtrails and BB's healing and this album's liberation. In a way, as fans, and because her music encompasses a lot about life, I like to think that we might've also grown w her thru similar instances. 

Coming back here again to share my impressions of the album and it is definitely one of the best and essential of the career. It's so amazing about how sincere she was here. She has this mysterious aura that makes even her closest fans feel ignorant of her private life.
She was extremely brave to share every little thing here, and it's clear that she's sure of what she says, not afraid of what people will think.
Lana deserves to tell her own story and I am grateful to be able to listen.

This album is so whimsical that even Neil's rehearsal matches perfectly with the album's proposal.
When the first pictures came out, I thought: seriously, she didn't even leave the room to pose? And now I can't imagine more appropriate pictures. A bedroom, and especially a bed, are personal spaces where each of us feels safe. All the photos sound so intimate. Okay, I'm drooling over her breasts to this day, but the photo is beautiful because of the nudity showing that security/vulnerability that she shows in her songs.
Everything is so perfect here. Seriously, I'm in love with the album.
By the way, does anyone have a link to the whole shoot in HQ?

“I miss old Lana”
 
Sweetie, then go listen to old Lana, who is stopping you? The albums still exist, they haven’t vanished.
 
Literally BTD to NFR is “old skool” Lana. That’s 6 albums worth of music. Some peoples entire careers consists of 6 albums. She has more than enough content for all types of fans.
 
 

Kintsugi through to Grandfather is so cohesive, my fav track run. Especially Paris flowing from Fingertips and then into Grandfather. Those sample melodies are stunning back to back. Paris Texas has grown the most for me, at first i didn't like it but after a few listens i finally get it, it's a very enticing track 

I am NOT a Jack anti but I really think it is a shame Rick wasn’t brought into help with A&W, Fishtail, and Peppers. Rick Nowels excels with using trap beats and I just know he would have taken those songs to the next level. And if Rick and Jack worked together on Taco Truck- people would gag

@Jared , probably. 

this was hard to read, the incel that spewed this should take some writing classes before daring to talk about other people's creations, too many adjetives and big words don't make you look smart you dummy

I’m folk 
I’m jazz 
I’m blue 
I’m green 
Regrettably, also a white woman 

fingertips has REALLY grown on me might be top 3 now. mental illness, worrying about future children, uncle dave, mommy issues, grappling with mortality, and she still got in under 6 minutes. it’s not a short song by any means but the speed and efficiency with which she was able to mass trauma dump on this track is so impressive

I’m still digesting this album but I honestly think it’s great. I love that album feels dark and a bit unhinged both production wise and thematically.
 
The Grants sets the tone perfectly with the shift from the joyous back vocalists intro to the somber piano. Additionally, all throughout the album there are these layers of different whispers and vocals that make it feel so disorienting and cacophonous in the best way.
 
What I also loved was how cyclical this album felt. Not only because of the subjects she tackles like her personal history but also because of the inclusion of past melodies, instrumentals, lyrics  and songs. It was kinda like a supercut of what Lana Del Rey is / was in the past few years. A conclusion and the start of a new chapter for her of sorts. All this (+ the use of many other samples) also gives it a mixtape feel (ala caprisongs not blue banisters) which is cool.
 
It’s very eclectic but i feel it stills holds together through its chaos and the specific reoccurring themes and production flourishes. Jack said ‘honeymoon from hell’ and I see it. 
 
My only gripe is that the tracklist of the middle section is a bit slow. I wish the trap wasn’t exclusively backloaded because it was already introduced by track 4 with A&W. It could made it more dynamic and  would linked the different sounds better. 
 
ANYWAYS HERES R MY FAVES:
A&W - Folk electronic trap, it was designed for me to like it.
Taco Truck x VB - CHILLS… perfect outro.
Peppers - SO fun! I knew Tommy and Lana would be good.
The Grants - Epic, dark but hopeful.
Paris, Texas - Magical and fragile.
Fishtail - That autotune damnnnn. Track is kinda salem coded .
 
The rest are also very nice! I would say that kintsugi and Margaret will need a bit more time to grow on me but all the less good. 
 
thank you for reading of you read this lol
 
 

again, because nobody really answered. do we consider the leaked version pre-release Fingertips to be a demo since it's uncensored???

I wonder if my neighbours have been enjoying the album 

one thing that's fun about taco truck x vb is in lots of lana's early unreleased tracks she would recycle pieces of other songs to craft something new and its like she's still doing that. i honestly wouldn't mind her doing more of that in the future. like every time the song transitions into the venice bitch part i start to cry bc its so sentimental.

I'm scared of those who didn't like Fingertips,
