I'm thinking that, like how Paradise was an "afterthought" of Born To Die

Chemtrails is an "afterthought" of Norman Fucking Rockwell

 

It's like a spin-off sister album. For example if she removed the Nikki duet, and put For Free on a covers album, Chemtrails would basically be an EP just like Paradise.

 

 

 

I agree, but I guess I would compare it more to the connection between UV and HM. Even though both have a distinct, different sound, something about the artistic vision, the sonical landscape and the overall atmosphere seems to be similar. Like two different emotional and cognitive  aspects of the same topic, if that makes sense.

UV was dark and intense, an emotional breakdown moment. HM was its afterthought, the more subtle, withdrawn and contemplative dimension of that state of mind.

Similarly, Norman is very summery, maritime and while it has its poetic and contemplative moments, it's generally more "outgoing". Chemtrails on the other hand seems so somber and reclusive, like the silence that fills your house after your friends have left.

While her thoughts got distracted by the situations and people around her on NFR, she's alone with them on CoCC.

Ranking after a couple of listens:

 

Dark but just a game
Wild at heart
Not all who wander are lost
Yosemite
Dancing till we die
White dress
Breaking up slowly
Tulsa Jesus freak

 

[kitschesque 9,882]

Hot take but I think Breaking Up Slowly fits great within the album! It just makes sense in the tracklisting and is a nice break. Them harmonizing is also very very pretty. I'm a huge fan of this track. If DTWD came right after Yosemite it'd be so dull lol. And now it's a breath of fresh air.

I must start saying that I'm a NFR hater

 

Now let's move to my opinion on the album

 

I only listened to 6 tracks and only once, so I could still be excited for the release in the 19th.

I was so ready to hate it, since it was produced by Antonoff, but I actually like it. 

 

White Dress is a highlight. It would be better if it was produced by Dan, instead of Jack. I can't wait to hear it in vinyl quality

 

TJF was the only song that got stuck in my head. I had to control myself to not play it again

 

Yosemite was the track that I was expecting the most. I wasn't disappointed. It was really worth the wait

 

For Free was everything that I had imagined. I love Lana, Zella and Weyes. Hear them together is entering heaven. I just wish it had more instrumentals in the end of the song. The ending was kinda abrupt

 

I'll have to listen again to come up with a final opinion. The only thing that I didn't really liked it was the instrumentals in some songs. They seem lazy. And the constant mention of the candle in the wind. Her voice doesn't sound nice when she pronounces it and it looks tacky.

I hope she goes full folk with her next album and collabs with Field Medic (she follows him on ig and their music sounds like they can blend together). This album seems more a natural flow from L4L than NFR

 

On a first listen my hank is:

 

HM>UV>BTD>PARADISE>LFL=COCC>NFR

 

[Zetterberg 1,879]

I haven't listened to the le*k, I'm tempted... But If i listen to it now, I'm just gonna put the vinyl on the shelf, once I receive it. Cause I've will have overplayed the album by that time.

Could I come back to the ranch baby. 

Had to get away for a while. 

Just to rest my nerves darling. 

Can I make you laugh with a smile. 

You know when you chose me 

I was nothing but ordinary. 

 

[Lentilus 25,720]

Yosemite came together for me on my second listen the following morning. It touched my soul and it reheated it after a year of it being cold due to covid/personal reasons.  

 

If some of you don't feel it, don't like it. I truly hope that your day comes when you can truly connect with it.

 

Also, I'd like to say that, to the people who say it's not happy at all. That's because you are looking for happiness in this song. It's not a first glance type of thing. It's so much more deep on a personal level. I understand why she held it back from LFL.

 

I don't think I wrote any spoilers. If I did. mods, work your magic.

Not All Who Wander Are Lost is getting better and better with each listen, same for White Dress.... this album is a grower and not a shower indeed!

 

[gasstationkween 5,615]

I wonder how she’s feeling right now

Spoiler

What do we think the general themes of this album are

 

[ChaoticLipster 24,618]

It’s almost like people have different tastes and preferences

I know I am new here but I have been Lana fan since 2013 and I need to share my thoughts about juicy COCC 

 

White Dress - its really beautiful and its showing her Lizzys vulnerable and fragile side. Song for people who miss their youth and regret some things they've done. Ohh her voice is like shes on the edge of crying...

 

TJF - i wanna make love to this song, its sexy and lil sad, Good for slow mo twerking. I really love religious imaginery used to describe her sex life. Outstanding melody

 

NAWWAL aka Wanderlust (that Word sounds so German lol) - this is that song to walk on by in The forrest, connecting with nature and innerself, while tripping on LSD. I needed someone to say that looking for your way in life isnt something wrong and Lana had made it! Aaaah

 

WILD At Heart - a Little happier HTD sister. I really love HTD because for me its really dark and shows some destructive ways of being but here in Wild At Heart I feel like shes not disappearing and shes more nature like... I cant describe it! but its giving me hope 

 

DARK BJAG is really interesting concept sonically and really changing melodies and harmonies like when shes singing about changing. But its stilo growing on me

 

Unfortunately, im dissapointed with Yosemite and dont like BUS. And in For Free something is missing which Ive heard in live version... 

 

Anyway, It's really good album but its not like her masterpieces UV and HM.  maybe I need time to grow it on me but I still love it. How could anyone unstan her after that wonderful songs OMG?

A few weeks ago Eclipse said Lana isn't singing "don't be afraid of our love" but I don't know what else she could be saying as she clearly makes a v sounds at the end of the word so it sounds like "love". Any thoughts?
