angry bitch no1 ob defender

exactly. this is what she has always done since her career

this would be really interesting but i guess nfr as the opener track really does it's job at transcending us into another dimension especially w that string arrangement in the intro of the track. it is just beautiful, transcendental and introduces the main themes of the album quite effectively, where as mariners works the track that keeps the journey going. also i can't imagine the nfr's string intro being the second track we hear in the album

I agree 100%. These sociological and political matters are part-and-parcel of a lot of Lana's recent music. I think they should be allowed to continue under this topic as long as they remained tied to the current album, her music or lyrics in some manner. 

i overplayed the hell out of it back then, but ngl for the past few days i been in the process of re-falling in love w born to die as an album all over again so like idk i am never sure abt these things

It's a wonderful song, but it's a very tepid opening track. All of the songs above it truly set the stage for the album; I believe that Mariners Apartment Complex should have switched spots with Norman for more of a punch the rest of her opening tracks have

The way we moved from one pandemic (Lana and politics) to another (track ranking). 

this is harder than i expected oh wow im terrible at ranking things...

It’s just too linear, and too flat-sounding, it plods, the melody isn’t noteworthy. It’s basic, basically. You can tell not just from the lyrics but approach that she’s trying to please her fans (her MO for this era), and her work with Rick had come to its logical conclusion with this album, from which there were multiple better choices of fan-pleasing whilst-pushing-her-craft singles. It’s cute and has one of her better videos though!

i didnt want to say but i think its good to discuss political stuff idk why people want to shut it down... i mean it relates to the topic so...

omg i was in love w you bcs of your dedication to fingertips but what is this nfr slander...

Brooklyn Baby below Let Me Love You Like A Woman. We reached the new lows officially. 

Everyone getting uncomfortable with the political topic and wanting it to be moved to the random discussion thread...what if that I told you that was apart of her goal with this album? To get into the nitty gritty. Unpack the trauma. Discuss the uncomfortable topics instead of shying away from them. She's putting it all on the table. I mean, me and a few others (i think @DCooper was included) had a really insightful and imho meaningful discussion about religion when A&W dropped. Like think about... this 90% Gay ass forum, respectfully discussing things that we'd usually just immediately dismiss. Its all thanks to her, and I think it's about damn time  very excited to open the floodgates of discussion when the album drops

it is too plain for my liking, its the same reason why i am not the biggest fan of old money too
 
edit: i like old money more bcs of the string arrangements are heavenly but whereas lmlylaw... it is jsut a cute song

The trio (i mean do i have to say smth for this)

okay that's fair 

that's exactly what i am saying because all those songs are at least 9/10 for me 😭

for me it is more about the dynamics and how it sets the tone for the record

I have not yet heard The Grants, but maybe this is another part of the « old Lana » we need to let go of: the big-larger-than-life openers. Personally, the last of those was Love (even though many won’t agree with me). Since Norman, all of her openers are amazing growers but aren’t the biggest tracks of their album. White Dress is the one that stands out the most, but it’s not a Cruel World or Ride type of song at all.
