WaitForLife Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Hate to say but none of the songs realllly make sense Thats basically the charm of Lana Theyre poetic sentences but don’t always tell a story I have the same feeling since VB & HIADTFAWLMTH. Both make not much sense. 1
West Coast Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 This refilled my cup of love for papa nowels omg. Lfl was... something... and as much as I like some of what jack has done (microphone tap) nothing will ever top honeymoon for me, with its bridges and haunting atmosphere and ugh... Honeymoon is a lush, decadent and etheral masterpiece! Lust for Life was... what it was and now NFR, which sounds promising, but I sense that it's all a little dry/flat sonically. 4
love deluxe Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 As of right now, my ranking is as follows: Bartender California The Greatest Venice Bitch Fuck it I Love You Mariners Apartment Complex Hope Is A Dangerous Thing... Norman Fucking Rockwell Cinnamon Girl Happiness Is A Butterfly Love Song Doin' Time The Next Best American Record We still haven't heard HTD in full with its intended production so I can't really put it anywhere. 2
WilshireBoulevard Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 I guess this is kind of a play with words, but you'll excuse my poor english, i don't get it dw this might explain it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_reversal I'm glad the consensus on california is that it's good- what are the leaker-listeners non-spoilery thots on love song?? 1 locals only
World Princess Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 12 more days I can do this 3 ♡ I had a dream that I was fine, I wasn't crazy, I was divine ♡
Vanilla Icy Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 90% the album will leak in hq tomorrow as more cassette tapes maybe even vinyls will get sent out 3 i love you, but you don't understand me.
folklore Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 honestly can't wait to blast this album in my car and drive to it in the country while the sun is setting 2
Valerie Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Rick was talking about bridges being their thing while the industry doesn't care about them anymore and it shows But I'm not mad the songs are AMAZING regardless Quote from THIS interview: "After that, we solidify the verse and chorus. We usually write the middle eight from scratch—that’s the section that comes after the second chorus. It is a construct of classic songwriting sometimes called the bridge. You don’t see a lot of middle eights in songs anymore. I love that we write them because I think they make the songs more timeless and satisfying." Bartender has no bridge so I doubt it's related to Rick's absence
love deluxe Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 dw this might explain it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_reversal I'm glad the consensus on california is that it's good- what are the leaker-listeners non-spoilery thots on love song?? love song is very pretty but in LQ its so hard to tell if its all its been made out to be. Judging by the HQ snippet, it'll be mindblowing when it's officially released. 3
sjatib Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 dw this might explain it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_reversal I'm glad the consensus on california is that it's good- what are the leaker-listeners non-spoilery thots on love song?? It explains indeed, thank you! 1
love deluxe Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 despite bartender being in LQ, it still amazes me 100 percent. it's so heartbreakingly sad ugh... 3

After Miley rips off Lana's aesthetic, she bullies Lana into changing her release date. It is infuriating.
Ariel Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Thanks! I really love Jack's stuff and work with her, but I also miss Rick I kind of wish the extremely tightly structured (RK)/comparatively loose feeling (JA) could meet in the middle somehow Bartender was produced by Rick, but they changed the structure 3
Future Jazz Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 is it better not to have bridges like NFR or to have bad bridges like LFL (numerous examples: lfl, wtwwaw, imf, love, groupie love, bpbp) 2
Vanilla Icy Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 i only listened one time, but most of the songs (i think) have bridges. could be wrong tho. only TNBAR has a bridge most of the songs are just verse chorus verse chorus outro, i think it has a lot to do with jack 2 i love you, but you don't understand me.
Fingertips Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 is it better not to have bridges like NFR or to have bad bridges like LFL (numerous examples: lfl, wtwwaw, imf, love, groupie love, bpbp) Not to have bridges, of course. I didn't even notice half the time because these songs are so good. 5 "You can't be a muse and be happy, too.

UltraHeroin Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 I listened to the other songs that I didn't listen at first (Love song, Bartender, California) and even though the quality is bad, the production on most, if not all the songs is definetly not even a little flat. It's all so rich, harmonized and everything. Just heaven. When this comes in HQ on the 30th we're all gonna be killed by the fucking instrumentals and production on this album. Also, it doesn't matter that much that the songs don't have bridges, they're so fucking good you won't even notice that absence 9 ~~~My body is stuck in the ocean My mind is lost in the universe***
Jared Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 From now on, Lana only needs to work with King Jack! 6

Ariel Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Off topic but hey username twin! :) Also, do sleep - I never sleep properly - take care of yourself, insomnia twin! More on topic - I am going to miss this thread so I wanted to just say hey and thanks to you all as I've been coming here on many nights when I should be sleeping - hi and thank-you to you all for the drama, content, discussion and (sorta) company - and let's all (eventually) enjoy the album! Sorry off topic, your post really threw me for a second. That's my ATRL username and I thought I had posted something I really need to sleep. 1
