candy necklace one of her best songs ever released 

You guys are crazy lol there's no Bartender in Fingertips, there's no NFR! in A&W and so on.

I lowkey love that Taco Truck is so short. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE that part of the song, but it's such a creative power move for her to give us one minute of a masterpiece and then say "although it seems I've gotten better, I can be violent too" right before she pulls the rug from beneath us and abandons the song completely to transition into a dirty remix of her most iconic song instead 

she just released a great album. what more do you want? as far as i'm concerned that's enough. artists shouldn't have to continue to do a bunch of silly things following an album release to keep our attention. she did her part. either enjoy the album or pick up some new hobbies to occupy yourself with.

I mean this in the nicest and least pretentious possible: I feel sad for people who don’t vibe with this album and don’t consider it her best work. It’s one of the best albums of all time and my personal favorite album of all time. I’ve never seen her songwriting so strong or so personal, so creative (and lord knows she’s always been incredibly creative). This feels like the most Lana album we’ve ever gotten and the most of Lana we’ve ever been given.
 
I understand people have different music tastes and have different experiences and personal ties to certain albums or music. But I really don’t understand how, if you’re a true Lana fan, you don’t like this album or don’t consider it one of her best. I NEVER thought she’d be able to top NFR or her other albums, but this feels almost like it’s in a different realm for me. And that’s not me knocking on any of her past albums because I think just as highly of them as I ever have - it’s more of a testament to how highly I think of this album. 

I still cannot fathom that we got A&W like damn...

Great reaction video
 
 

the dolby atmos stems are available on this channel! time to listen to the album again 3 consecutive times 
 

John Batiste interlude is so pleasing to listen 

Did they fix some of the mastering issues on Spotify??? Grandfather sounds so much better and much more pleasant 

yes, I also think the songs sound a little better now.

I don’t think this means deluxe but others do so I’m just putting it here😭

The way that i cant stop replaying Fingertips today.
As heavy as the lyrical content, it calms my soul,  brings me peace & helps me sleep these days. I literally put this song on the loop.

I've got things
                           to dooo                                                                      with youuuu    
                                                                                  I wanna do them 
                                                                   at all 
                                        like nothing 
                                                                                                                                               DO YOU WANNNNA DO THEM WITH MEEEE???????
 

i cant believe how good a&w is

Oh god I'm tearing up to Kintsugi right now
 
I've always had a troubled relationship with my parents -- especially my mother -- including even my sister and other relatives. It was so bad I had to get out of their house last year (now I'm living with my boyfriend). But ever since I moved out, our relationship got so much better... They treat me well, we never fought anymore and they even accept my boyfriend's existence (they never accepted my bisexuality and the moment I started dating my boyfriend they started to treat me and him so so bad). I went to see them yesterday (I haven't seen them since December) and it was such a beautiful experience. I got to talk with my mother so much, we had fun, ate good food (my dad's a professional chef omg I missed his food so much) and they treated my boyfriend so well  
 
Also for the past few years I've been writing an album about them, and my history with them, so Ocean Blvd is hitting a lot with the family thing.

I'm so happy somebody finally called out that it isn't a sample of the NfR song during the second half. It's been driving me crazy since the notes are so clearly very different. 

I loooove this type of analysis videos

LITERALLY I JUMPEEEEDD

Don't know where to post this but here is my candy necklace art I worked on this week:
I draw Lana quite a bit but this time around I didn't use a specific reference. I came up with this concept: 

a&w/candy necklace/paris texas
 
all popular tracks and i think they'd flow nicely and would easily tell a story lined up like that

boz teasing this shit. i mean at least we'll have demos but it makes 0 sense to release it after an album just dropped 2 weeks ago. it'd make more sense if it's a single release for an unreleased album or something

Final Ranking / Overall Rating: 9/10
3rd Favorite Lana Album

1. Let the Light In (10/10)
2. Peppers (9.5/10)
3. Sweet (9.5/10)
4. Kintsugi (9/10)
5. A&W / Fishtail / Taco Truck x VB (8.5/10) — tie
6. Margaret / Candy Necklace / Fingertips (8.5/10) — tie
7. Paris, Texas (8.5/10)
8. Grandfather Please Stand on the Shoulders of My Father While He's Deep-Sea Fishing (8.5/10)
9. Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd (8/10) (just overplayed it tbh)
10. The Grants (8/10)

BEST LYRICS: Kintsugi, Fingertips
BEST INSTRUMENTAL: Let The Light In, Grandfather, Margaret, Fishtail, Taco Truck x VB
BEST VIBE/AESTHETIC: Let The Light In, Sweet, Paris Texas, Fishtail

FAVORITE MOMENTS: bridge of LTLI, the piano riff in CN, beat drop of Fishtail, pre-chorus of Peppers, guitar beat drop in DYK, bridge of Sweet, whistle in Kintsugi, transition in A&W, "ik ik that you hate me" beat drop in Taco Truck, transition in Taco Truck, "let's waltz this out" + trumpets in Margaret, "venice, california" whisper in Paris, Texas

I just can’t get over the NFR sample in A&W..it’s so glorious and the song wouldn’t be the same without it 

I'm at the Roadrunner café
