It's been one week and the thread is dying? I'm still on a high from this album!
I play it in the car... I hear something different. I play it on my sonos... I hear the expansive production. I play at night in bed in my Head Phones and the quiet little background details come to life.
I'm still not done processing it and yall have disappeared?

I truly don’t mean this in a rude way but some people have GOT to let the Jack Antonoff hate go. You NEED to move on. She’s almost 40 years old. She was still in her twenties in the UV era and clearly much unhappier. You can’t expect that she’s going to write the same damn kind of songs for ten years straight.
also — I can guarantee if she WAS writing UV carbon copies ten years after that album came out people would complain she wasn’t changing her sound enough.
Enough is enough!!!!

Why aren't people talking about how amazing Fishtail is? Like, it combines rock sound with R&B? It's so well executed and sets Peppers up musically. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE it. The execution of all this is so Lana Del Rey

May I just say how damned hard it is to rank these songs!
Each one of the following has been my favourite from the album in this first week of listening at some point:
Paris, Texas (instant)
Margaret (instant)
Fishtail (instant)
Sweet (instant)
Kintsugi (instant)
The Grants (instant)
Fingertips (major grower. It clicked today )
And the rest are all solid 8s and above barring Juda Smith.
Even Peppers has grown on me. I still think it doesn't fit the overall themes of this album but it's still a bop!
The album is a stunner to play through from start to finish. She really poured everything and more into this. Like the art of Kintsugi ! Creating a whole from something fractured and broken.
The reflections of life, love, family and the inevitably and tragedy of death.
The mountains, the sea, the sweet north country.
I just can't with her.
Never been so proud to be a lana stan.

God this album. It just. I can't. The words are absent
I'd be interested to know everyone's favourite vocal or production highlight from each track?
For me it's hard to narrow down but to keep it simple:
The Grants - "My Grandmother's last smile..."
Tunnel - everything in the last minute. The soundscape is huge. The choral is enchanting. The "Don't forget me"'s. Gorgeous
Sweet - children, marriage and marathons - simple and elegant production and light vocals.
A&W - that transition. Holy f**k. So dark. The industrial electro effects on her vocals. Bliss.
Juda Smith - Erm. I suppose the piano in the background would make a gorgeous instrumental.
Candy Necklace - the jazzy piano bridge. Gives me tingles and I scream Chopin!
Jon Batiste - actually love the vibes. The crescendo when he shouts.
Kintsugi - the beauty of the melody of "Roadrunner Cafe" so beautiful, so sad and so very very relatable to me... and my mother.
Fingertips - Christ. I've yet to get through it without getting misty. Theres so many build ups and come downs but the highlight is "Watch tv by my side"
Paris, Texas - the bass during "went to SEE some friends of mine" gets me every time.
Grandfather - "Deep sea fishing for all the things he's wishing"
Light the Light in - the whole production! Her final chorus in falsetto is Divine.
Margaret - "The Soul that you bring to the table" urgh there's magic on this track.
Fishtail - "Skinny dip inside your mind" and that beautiful little tingle in the production. I adore this track. Needed to be longer.
Peppers - the three "I'm in Love" 's
Taco truck - maybe unpopular opinion but the synthetic trumpets on VB are everything.
All in all I am really enjoying this era. The album is stunning and the highlights are career bests.
As a cohesive body of work NFR! Still ranks top, but it is very close second for Ocean Blvd. Just a couple of niggles keeps it from the top spot; had juda Smith been 90 seconds long it wouldn't kill the momentum and Peppers would be alot more successful without the sample, along with the cheap production that pales next to A&W which sounds polished and expensive by comparison.
Other than that I think we can say tracks like Sweet, Fingertips, Kingtsugi, Paris, Texas, Candy Necklace, Fishtail and The Grants symbolise Lana at her pinnacle of honest songwriting, exquisite compositions, beautiful vocal delivery and layered, profound production. She really does keep getting stronger and stronger every time she gets in that studio.
Long may it reign!

Tunnel - everything in the last minute. The soundscape is huge. The choral is enchanting. The "Don't forget me"'s. Gorgeous
Sweet - children, marriage and marathons - simple and elegant production and light vocals.
A&W - that transition. Holy f**k. So dark. The industrial electro effects on her vocals. Bliss.
Juda Smith - Erm. I suppose the piano in the background would make a gorgeous instrumental.
Candy Necklace - the jazzy piano bridge. Gives me tingles and I scream Chopin!
Jon Batiste - actually love the vibes. The crescendo when he shouts.
Kintsugi - the beauty of the melody of "Roadrunner Cafe" so beautiful, so sad and so very very relatable to me... and my mother.
Fingertips - Christ. I've yet to get through it without getting misty. Theres so many build ups and come downs but the highlight is "Watch tv by my side"
Paris, Texas - the bass during "went to SEE some friends of mine" gets me every time.
Grandfather - "Deep sea fishing for all the things he's wishing"
Light the Light in - the whole production! Her final chorus in falsetto is Divine.
Margaret - "The Soul that you bring to the table" urgh there's magic on this track.
Fishtail - "Skinny dip inside your mind" and that beautiful little tingle in the production. I adore this track. Needed to be longer.
Peppers - the three "I'm in Love" 's
Taco truck - maybe unpopular opinion but the synthetic trumpets on VB are everything.
All in all I am really enjoying this era. The album is stunning and the highlights are career bests.
As a cohesive body of work NFR! Still ranks top, but it is very close second for Ocean Blvd. Just a couple of niggles keeps it from the top spot; had juda Smith been 90 seconds long it wouldn't kill the momentum and Peppers would be alot more successful without the sample, along with the cheap production that pales next to A&W which sounds polished and expensive by comparison.
Other than that I think we can say tracks like Sweet, Fingertips, Kingtsugi, Paris, Texas, Candy Necklace, Fishtail and The Grants symbolise Lana at her pinnacle of honest songwriting, exquisite compositions, beautiful vocal delivery and layered, profound production. She really does keep getting stronger and stronger every time she gets in that studio.
Long may it reign!
