at midnight in every time zone. global is at one specific time regardless of time zone.

None of you are going to get that bop album anytime soon-we can predict what is coming next:
 
Piano.
 
a couple of songs with a backbeat.
 
A song mentioning Chucky- likely in reference to children and motherhood.
 
lyrics about Lana’s everyday life in LA- venues she likes to visit potentially including coffee shops, sandwich trucks or laundry. 

Lyrics about modern technology- ironic in nature.
 
potential politicised lyrics as she likes to push boundaries and make people angry- I can see this progressing.
 

It's giving fig tree "starting the album with very experimental and chaotic electronic jewels and ending it with 20-minute long automatic singing masterpieces". 

Yes, I liked it. This quote:
That's it in a nutshell! Editor of Gigwise Lucy Harbron demos her skills in one sentence, instead of paragraphs dominating an article.
criminally overlooked by awards underappreciated as a writer largely misunderstood Check check check!
Awards: It isn't 100 % true with the Billboard Women in Music Visionary award and Variety 2021 Decade, Award but Lana has not been nominated for a mainstream award like Oscar, which she should have for Big Eyes and Young and Beautiful . . . Billboard and Variety invented the above awards because they knew Lana was past due!
Underappreciated as a writer: As Lana mentioned in Interview, Sasha Frere-Jones wrote:
He must be eating his words now!
NY Times critic Jon Caramanica said:
Caramanica backed out of these words in subsequent reviews, tho, like a lot of critics, and Pitchfork, who revised its BTD rating from 5.5 in 2012 to 7.8 in 2021! All these journalism degree writers do not know how to listen to music, imo. Public education has failed them.
Only recently Lana has begun being celebrated as song-writer, esp. with NFR. Bruce Sprinsteen said about Lana, "Simply One of the Best Songwriters . . . She just creates a world of her own and invites you in."
So acknowledgement comes from musicians, not journalists, which forces journalists to pay attention.
Sorry for the long post.

did anyone other than me actually read the gigwise review? it was like a mix between praise and a critique on how the industry reviews music, so interesting

someone call lorde we need her synesthesia

Can we get some more reviews? 79 is such an ugly number...
 
Also, how come almost none of the reviews have mentioned Grandfather... critics r so weird.

Thinking about this all the time

For the first time in my life… it’s a hard pass for me. Love her with all of my heart, I’d take a couple of standalone tracks after Ocean Blvd, maybe the cover album sometime in 2024,  but hell nah for LDR10 this year. This thread is proof it shouldn’t happen for everyone’s sanity. We can’t control ourselves when it comes to her and anxiety is making everyone fucking insane.
 
 

Which is so crazy because to me almost every song totally has a color that fits the vibe
 

I am manifesting that Taylor invites Lana to one of her shows on the The Eras Tour, that'd be cool and I doubt they'll only sing SOTB

i hope this album will bring ajayii back

i'd write back shut up faguette

if a&w served as the opening track the expectations of the album would be of the charts and many people would be disappointed (me included) imo 

I'm expecting 8.5/10 from pitchfork tbh

The way Fingertips just randomly clicked for me?? Last time I heard it I wasn't feeling it at ALL. Maybe I wasn't depressed enough..
