it's so irritating how much more the alternative hmv cover fits the vibe of the album compared to the "official" one, that's exactly the color pallet i visualize when listening to the songs
 
i don't get black and white, i get dark blues and earthy greens, and dark purples

I don't think it's a bad song, just 'minor,' just something someone of her talent could have knocked off in a few hours. That's why, I think, some are calling LMLYLAW "lazy." But she clearly liked it enough to release it, and perhaps it's one of her favorites, we may never know. 

LMLYLAW was last place on my ranking list. The song does nothing for me  It is taking me a while to get into this album which is different for me because I have loved every release she has ever done right away. Hopefully Chemtrails grows on me.

The songs are beautiful but the curation of this album is kinda poor. The name of the album makes no sense at all. Even Lust for Life works better as an album than this even though it had double the songs... Like it's even easy to curate 11 or even more of her unreleased songs and make an album that makes more sense than this. BUT the songs to me are better than most of what's on NFR.

who would ever think that nfr is better than btd 

I hope so! She needs to give Jack Antonoff some rest and go back to collaborating with new, unknown producers with fresher sounds/beats just as she did back in 2009/2010.

I feel this i miss OTTR too but maybe the next album will be another revamp of her sound yet again

Yeah, maybe it's that. But also the production takes part on it! Oh godddd, I just miss those joyful, exquisite moments like the outro of This Is What Makes Us Girls. A SERVE.

tell that to her when she goes on her next tour and she's still singing video games, OTTR, and other BTD tracks 
 

here's my review on each song and the album as a whole. sincerely, a former Lana Del Rey Stan.

This is one of the reasons why I can't really stand the song - it could've been a lyrical masterpiece about her being in an actual country club, seeing chemtrails etc, instead she just came up w/ a 'cool' title and stuck in the song

I feel like she just went a tad too vague/ off topic with her lyris on CoCc. It has such a dramatic title, yet it's meaning for the rest of the lyrics isn't very impactful. The "we do everyday rich kids stuff, but there os something menancing in the background" storyline does not evolve at all throughout the track.  Instead we get a cringy horoscope discussion

as much as Jack has given us some of her best songs and im grateful that he got her the acclaim she deserves last era i really do think it’s time that she moves on from him now

Yes!! I agree with you 100%. Very well said!  Let the manifesting begin! I'm ready for Jack to go back to Taylor Swift and Lorde, and let our Queen get back with Rick Nowels!  I'm still waiting for a slick sexy dirty gritty 90s alt electro grunge-y with a lil dash of trip hop album! She needs to call up Butch Vig, the new Garbage record is finished and I highly doubt they're going to be able to tour anytime soon. Would be great if he could work with Lana on something in the future 

Haven't you been extra defensive at any slight criticism towards anything pertaining to 'Chemtrails' in the past week, and even said so yourself in a status update?
 
Not trying to come for you, because you and I we go way back and I like to think that we have buried the hatchet and matured since the NFR pre-release thread. But @hlxon has every right to express his so called negative opinion, or criticism towards this album. Not that I agree with everything he has said, even though I enjoy the album (for the most part), it's not immune to criticism just because it's brand new, much less just because some of y'all love the album to infinite and beyond.

manifesting no more folk, no more country, no more hippy love stuff, no more Elizabeth vocals and most importantly NO MORE jack , next album will hopefully be the return of classic cinematic rick knowles produced big bold depressing overdramatic low vocal degrading desperate controversial orchestral strings honeymoon esque MASTERPIECE , i know you're all thinking it  anyway can't wait to listen to this again tomorrow, it needs to grow on me a lot more..

I talked about the sparkle in her eyes, but it was not related to saying that she is drugged, sick or something. It's just how I feel when I see pictures of her before and after Qftc. How, to me, she almost always looks upset, tired, or angry, and how it seems to steal the sparkle from her eyes. Which is a personal perception of mine and nobody needs to agree. And I'm not criticizing or judging her at all - We know that past few months have been a mess and often because of things for which she was not even to blame.
 
But then there were comments saying that she is sick, that she has covid, that she is on drugs, etc.
 
Are you going to continue attributing things to me that I didn't say? ?
