Sweet

Wait, there are people who dislike fishtail?

Hi all, Just need to rant: LANA WHERE IS CN MUSIC VIDEO????????? LIKE UPDATE US!!!! I AM NOT EVEN HYPED NO MORE. okay rant over. have a blessed day xx

Something about the Online Exclusive cover is very 'Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but I have it' and I think it's the most iconic cover of all!

Simply put I think she means she is old fashioned, traditional w that man

Sweet is THAT bitch! It did what? THAT is what it did!! It’s not for basic bitches that’s for sure!

Ocean Blvd: #1 UK and Aus Watch America fail Lana. It’s ironic an American album with an American title is not #1 in America. Somehow, it’s also very American to me at the same time 😂 Lana really deserves a number 1 album in the states.

There's an organic drum kit in the back mixed with programmed R&B beats. You hear it more in the second chorus and outro a lot but it's filtered there

Why aren't people talking about how amazing Fishtail is? Like, it combines rock sound with R&B? It's so well executed and sets Peppers up musically. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE it. The execution of all this is so Lana Del Rey

I am just so tired of Ultraviolence stans. Like I get it. I remember when I was 15 and just being sad and depressed af feeling like a bad bitch listening to UV but get over it!?? Ocean Blvd and any of her upcoming projects don’t have to be something she’s done already. It just bugs me when I see comparisons to UV or remakes in UV style because people just want fetch to happen so bad?

🎶Lately I been sunnen in the LA river bed🎶

You know after I heard “Shut Up” by Ariana Grande, I lost some respect for her because I couldn’t help but feel like she was shading Lana after the whole QFTC fiasco. Lana has stated many times she doesn’t even like her own music etc (her outlook recently has changed a lot) anyway, the whole breakdown of their friendship was sad to me

Aka

The biggest growers for me: • Sweet • Kintsugi • Paris Texas • Peppers (one of the most iconic songs in her discography) I really liked Fingertips on my initial listen so I didn’t include it on here but it also keeps getting better with each listen along w Margaret.

No it’s so true. A&W as great as it is for music and for Lana’s career is definitely not one of my top songs from the album. Like it’s a career highlight for sure but it’s not my absolute favourite.

OMG this makes so much sense! “You can braid my hair” 🥰😍

Someone explain these lines to me: Who is they? What does she mean?

I feel like Taco Truck is a jab at critics and even the whole VB part too

So, uhmmm…. the album has grown on me a LOT and is becoming one of my fav albums! SWEET, Cuntsugi, Fingertips, Paris Texas have become top tier for me likeeee and it just keeps getting better. This album is def a grower. All good art usually is! Can’t wait to see what else I fall in love with 🥰

Candy Necklace…UGH one of the few songs on this record about romantic relationships and she nailed it! The whole metaphor of CNs is just brilliant! So so so excited for the video!

I listened to the record multiple times last night till 6 am. Here’s some of my honest thoughts. There are some great moments on it. Fingertips made me REALLY sad. Lyrically this album is a new height for Lana. I am so proud of her. However, I did not LOVE the album. Taco Truck I wish was its own song and I wish she just released VB trap remix as a stand alone single. VB (NFR version) is untouchable. Taco Truck x VB is prolly the most overrated song in my opinion. The whole trap sound also got too repetitive for me. I understand why it hasn’t gotten a 10/10 from any major publication yet. This record is def a progression from Blue Banisters. Most sounds captured on BB are perfected in this record and even pushed further to a new level. Here’s my top 5 so far: • CN (love at first listen) • The Grants (SO SO beautiful) • Grandfather • Fishtail • Let The Light In Lana has literally covered most genres so at this point I would love to see her make super experimental stuff and this album did do that especially the glitches on CN?? Like a career highlight right there and peppers literally had 3 genres in it!!! But idk, maybe I have been hoping for Lana to go more of a psychedelic route? Maybe this album will grow on me. I am really hoping it does. Maybe it just hasn’t clicked with me yet? I will attempt a few more listens to see if my thoughts change. PS: I have to say, no album listening experience has touched me the same as NFR. That record had me gagging at each song. I even loved every song on Chemtrails!

I am going to miss this thread so much! Loved reading everything and this was the first thread on LB that I followed religiously and it has been a great experience! Also, the fact that I was able to share my excitement and anticipation for this album with all of you was awesome!

Sweet is in the tunnel under ocean blvd 🫶🏽

YALL THIS COUNTRY GUY LUKE MIGHT BLOCK FROM HER NUMBER 1? OMFG I know it's not about the charts but I just REALLY wanted her to have a number 1 in the states!

wait what's number 13?

So girlies who have had a chance to listen to the album...without spoiling the album, what is your track ranking? You can rate them out of 10 too if you'd like!
