Solar Fields

yess i know, i just really don’t think she wrote that line in 2011 bskdjf. i mean who knows, maybe jake gyllenhaal really did have a keychain that said “fuck the patriarchy”

these rerecordings made me remember how much I love I Almost Do

not sure how i feel about that tbh :/ 
 
I mean I PREFER this version but I feel like we've gotten so many live performances of the regular ATW I'd love one of the vault tracks instead. Or The Lucky One

red tv making me extremely excited for 1989 and rep!

Yes LMLYLAW is so comforting to me, she deserves more love!

I come from a small town how bout uuuuuuuuuuuu i only mention it cus im ready ta leave LA n a want ya ta cvme 

I have always been one of the few fans who loves Let Me Love You Like a Woman, but this performance was what made me enjoy it as much as I do now. Something about the song's simplicity really, really works for me. LMLYLAW is the heart of Chemtrails over the Country Club, and no one can tell me otherwise. 

Returning to Chemtrails after hammering BB for weeks, and it sounds AMAZING. Warm and gentle and beautiful.
 
One thing I wasn't prepared for was how much Chem now feels like a Covid-era album. The pre-release was a huge emotional crutch throughout 2020, and now I specifically associate the music with that segment of time from October 2020 when LMLYLAW released until the tringle in May. We were still basically locked down, and it was endless hours in my apartment listening to COCC over and over.
 
COCC songs will always remind me of those long days and all the emotions they contained.

i have to say i love how much of the later posts in the thread are positive re-evaluations of this album. i'm def a COCC fangirl, and while i love BB, COCC has had a much bigger emotional, thoughtful impact on me (at least as of now). i agree with many others who've noted that COCC will, like HM, prob gain appreciation over time and so many of these updates prove it's so. NFR was an impossible album to follow up and she really went her own way and made the record she wanted/needed to make instead of treading water. 

I appreciate this album so much more now than I did 6 months ago. It's aging very well.

Uncut's 75 Best Albums of 2021

#11 Lana Del Rey - Chemtrails Over the Country Club

First year-end list and Lana is already on it!

I love the idea. Especially for early album releases.
I hope Beyoncé co-opts the idea. I would love a re-release of Dangerously in Love with her mature voice.

Never been a fan of pre-1989 Taylor, but Red is the only of her pre-1989 albums I actually enjoy. This new version is good, but it's way too long. Def I'll be ditching some songs out, but I'll surely keep most of the album. And I don't feel Max Martin's absence is a mistake... as I've read somewhere else  
Those From the Vault songs are really good, I'd swap a few of the standard for a few of the new ones.

I just got a haircut so I had some hair in my mouth :/

They would definitely have to strike a delicate balance between the instrumentals and vocals because of how chaotic her voice is. I would like it they did an even more psychedelic spin on it. Similar to Mermaid Motel demo, but even more so. It would be an eargasm. That's just my opnion though.
 
She better perform that song live one day.  

personally, i love the instrumental. even though it's simple it reminds me so much of mermaid motel type beat and a similar underground alt rock psychedelia vibe. 
plus i think the instrumental needs to be on the simpler side bc of the wildness of the vocals. it might have been overstimulating if there were more dynamic production elements on top of I DONT WANNAAAAA LIVVEEEEEE
