TEMPORARY Chemtrails Over the Country Club - Pre-Release Thread: OUT March 19th, 2021

[Terrence Loves Me 73,055]

I still haven't fully formed an opinion and i wanna wait until I've adjusted before reviewing it fully but here's my top 5's right now

Spoiler

1. Chemtrails Over the Country Club - WOW, i know ya'll heard this 2 months ago but this was my first time and.. WOW, i understand what ya'll were saying about it feeling quite hopeful yet quite fatal and final, there's a strong sense of dread and anxiety in the song, it makes me feel a certain way, i've not had such an unusual feeling from a song before like this, i think it's fantastic, and i love how deep her vocals get when she mentions her star sign at the end, it sounds really scary. I also think the melody during the chorus sounds like a horror movie

 

2. White Dress - It was really hard trying to decide between this or Chemtrails to take number 1, but this song is so heartbreaking. The melody and vocals sort of reminds me of change. The verses sound like a haunted fairytale, she sounds like a princess who has completely given up. Gosh it's sad. I love it so much.

 

3. Not All Who Wonder Are Lost - Every Lana album has a song that makes me cry, a song that just hits me. BTD has Video Games, UV has Old Money, LFL has Love, NFR has California, and COCC has Not All Who Wonder Are Lost, this song is so pretty. It reminds me of Color Blue. The late lonely nights out on the street when you're walking home with your high heels in your hand and your clutch bag hanging off your shoulder, it feels very personal to me. I pictures a starry sky when listening to this song, it's so quiet and lonely. Dark blues and Dark purples twinkling all around. A really lovely song. I think it's underrated so far.

 

4. Dance Till We Die - This song is peculiar, i adore the bridge and i love lana's vocals throughout the song. It reminds me of angels forever. And the little saxophone or trumpet during the chorus is a great little jazzy touch, it adds so much to the song. It's a very sophisticated track. It's a nice cleanser after the mess that is Breaking up slowly.

 

5. Either Yosemite or Tulsa Jesus Freak, i'm torn between the two, i'm leaning a little more towards TJF because it's more my style. I like the darkness of it. The religious undertones and the sexiness of it. I think it's a nice fun track. Yosemite is great, i think she could have done more with the chorus instead of repeating the "we did it for fun" line, it's very repeptive and i don't think it's good enough to repeat in a 5 mins song, i just think she should have used this part of the song as the pre chorus, and then took the song elsewhere with a different chorus, kinda like how the Blackest Day ascends to a higher place with "because im going deeperrr and deeeperrr.. IN ALL THE WRONG PLAAAACES" after it's first little chorus "ever since my baby went away" - i wanted an extra part like this during the yosemite chorus. Still a great song though, it's a grower.

Hi all,

In case you missed it, a mod accidentally merged our Chemtrails Pre-Release Thread with the Random Lana Discussion Thread into a mega 4400 page Frankenstein thread. Our mods & I are currently in the process of separating the two threads back into their original homes. Until then, the discussion will continue in this thread. Once our threads are back to normal, this thread will be merged with our original one.

 

As we all are aware, the album leaked recently. So please remember to put any information you would not have gathered without listening to the leak in Spoilers as to not ruin the Pre-Release experience for those who choose not to listen until the official release date.

Also remember that requesting an illegal link to the leak will result in a Warning Point and a Moderator Queue until album release day (March 19th)

Posting a link to the leak or pointing users in the direction of where to find the leak will result in a ban.

 

Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding during this x

Let’s keep it going gorls

After several days of listening to the record nonstop I think I’m ready for my rankings. To be honest this is truly my favorite Lana record so far, so I had to take a more data-driven approach to rank the songs, largely based on how often I played them over the course of three consecutive days. In backwards order....

 

Spoiler

11) For Free - I adore the piano work on this track...I can hear trills, soft keys that complement the trio’s vocals well. I put this last because I’m not a big “covers” guy, whether we’re talking about Lana or not. If I ever save a cover on my playlists it’s because I hear a song for the first time not knowing it’s a cover hahah. For example, “Dedicated To The One I Love” by the Mamas and Papas which is a cover but it legitimately blows me away. Anyway, the For Free cover is nice but I wish Lana would have recorded a cover we hadn’t already heard live in its entirety.

 

10) Let Me Love You Like A Woman - I don’t have a lot to say on this track. I think it’s mid-tier for me. Not horrible, not fantastic. I do enjoy hearing the version from Jimmy Fallon with the background singers more than the single version. 

 

9) Dance Till We Die - Hands down the bridge is the best part of this song. Lana’s tone changes so much that I actually thought this song had another feature at first hahaha. The verses and chorus are ok. There are some nice moments here and there, but I think this track is still growing on me. I can totally see my boyfriend and I hosting friends at our house once the pandemic has settled down and playing this song for ambience. Would definitely be a crowd pleaser!

 

8) Breaking Up Slowly - As I said earlier today, Nikki’s voice is growing on me. Lana’s superior vocals on the song before made the transition to hearing Nikki’s voice very jarring at first, but now that it’s growing on me I can honestly say the girls sound great together. I love the melody and I love the way the arrangement was put together. 
 

Spoiler

7) White Dress - Definitely a great choice for the album opener. I’m having trouble relating to this song which is why it’s probably lower on my list, but it’s really nice to hear Lana’s story from when she was that age. Overall a solid song and I enjoy walking my pup outside to it.  

 

6) Dark But Just A Game - This song was actually toward the bottom of my list on my very first album run-through but I really grew to like it. I was definitely into the No Doubt, Avril Lavigne, Cardigans scene back in the day - all influences which I hear in this track.

 

5) Wild At Heart - I was not expecting the HTD cameo nor did I pick up on it at first. I’m not a HTD fan (apart from the piano-only version) but I think it really works well on this song. Melody is superb. Verses are fantastic 

 

4) Tulsa Jesus Freak - While I’m a sucker for Lana’s slower tracks (definitely not a big pop/mainstream/club music kind of guy), I loved the sound and the arrangement of TJF. I’m a HUGE fan of the “white hot forever’s” throughout the song, especially at the end where they build up.

 

Spoiler

3) Not All Who Wander Are Lost - Another track which made me really cry from happiness. Generally speaking music doesn’t have that kind of effect on me, so the idea that it happened twice in one album was astonishing. I loved this song from the first chord and I knew the rest of the song would follow suit. I am completely mesmerized by her high register vocals and her harmonies in this track.

 

2) Yosemite - I remember feeling an internal panic in the songs leading up to Yosemite as I was playing them in order. Would all the hype be worth it? For nothing? But in the end I fell into its spell and the majority of her discography to date remains in the tier(s) below this Diamond. 

 

1) Chemtrails Over The Country Club - It was a tough battle between this song and Yosemite because Yosemite is still so fresh, new, exciting, impeccable, etc. But I had to take a step back to recall how I felt when this song came out for the first time. Very rarely does a song hit me in the gut and make me cry like I did trying to wrap up a work deadline hahah, but anyway I love this track to the core.
