Ok I caved and listened to white dress, TJF, and wild at heart again. 

I’m so curious as to how this is going to be received critically.

So overall, did jack serve better production in your opinions on NFR or COCC?

I personally LOVE his work on NFR. Cannot wait a second longer to listen to COCC

Hmm not sure. I’m in the minority on this site  where I love NFRs production so might be biased  

 

I think NFR has a few songs that are more complex and grand (VB, The greatest) than COCC, but I think the production on COCC being a lot more loose and relaxed is nice too. Like the almost freestyle lounge esque vibe of white dress is amazing and there’s nothing else like that in her discography

Same! 
 

the reception has been pretty positive so far on sites like RYM and albumoftheyear. Granted a lot of these reviews are fans hearing the leak, but there’s been a lot of people who have posted that it is a lot better than they were anticipating based on LMLYAW and the general chaos of the build up. 
 

I think somewhere less than NFR but greater than all of her other albums in terms of reviews.

Yeah I’m the biggest NFR fan. I personally feel like jack and her are a dream combo and is helping her grow and discover this amazing size of her so I’m excited for COCC.

Spoiler

I love white dress so if the albums energy is anything like that production I truly cannot wait

If you loved white dress you'll at least enjoy the album if not love

Daylight Savings Time starts tomorrow!

 

We turn the clocks ahead an hour so we lose an  hour.

 

That means next Thursday at midnight it would have been 11:00 so we are actually getting the album an hour earlier!

 

I'm melting.

Predicting a 7.9–8.3 from Pitchfork.

God I hope it’s critic friendly only because I don’t want people to tear her down anymore.

Pitchfork gave Kanye's Jesus album a 7.2 and this album is actually good so I'm hoping for an 8 at least

I'm so happy you love the album so much bestie

 

And your descriptions

 

 

Spoiler

it's a lot more mellow this time around, but it somehow works. I think it'll definitely just get a lot better thru time. DTWD, hope she goes more towards this direction on the next one. that n WD, the singles, w a lot more folk(?) oomph

 

[Poor Stacy 11,996]

I honestly prefer Jack's production on

 

COCC. I love how it's a little looser, jazzier, and more free-form... Less piano ballads. It sounds like they were able to relax and have more fun this time around, like they were winging it and just vibing for a lot of it (similar to VB, I guess).

Lana namedropping Sun Ra, Purple Rain, and dancing to Afro-Caribbean music WOKE QUEEN shielding herself from criticism.

 

[soaringHigh 378]

Do y’all think COCC will get comparisons to Folklore/Evermore? I am just idk? I don’t see the similiarities because the latter poses to be folky but I find it to be shallow (lyrically) while the former feels truly folky at heart but.... idk? I haven’t seen/heard comparisons but my bf who hasn’t heard it and I’ve kinda described it to said it was going to be another “TS Boremore” ? I am scared because he’s a Lana stan and it’s going to break my heart if he doesn’t give this album a chance ? and I’ll HATE if I see TS comparisons when Lana has been working on/was supposed to release this before TS did her whole shizz

no

 

girl, flopkore and evermoreflop both got cancelled the day COCC leaked. and that's a fact  you can't compare COCC to something that does not exist anymore, right? 

 

edit:

your Bf should stay close to jesus tho

In my opinion COCC’s production is far better and interesting than NFR (besides VB) . NFR has more of a pop filter and more formulaic when compared to COCC. COCC is more abstract and experimental in the production choices which to me is so much more interesting.

 

i think the instruments in this album feel very minimal, organic/raw, and human. Like they have a life of their own. 
 

but at the end it is subjective whether you prefer a very polished finish (NFR) or looselier raw vibe (COCC).
 

Plus I love the sound of muffled guitars in the backdrop and there’s a lot of that sprinkled around most songs.

I agree 

 

On NFR the production seemed too samey samey in each song, whereas in the COCC there's multiple throwbacks to NFR in multiple songs which I enjoy a lot more. 

For example:

In FIILY, The Greatest and VB the same vibe goes on for so long and those are great songs but I have to be in the mood for exactly that vibe. In COCC songs have a little NFR vibes and then switch to another vibe and it's overall much more interesting imo. It's like whatever vibe they started with in each song, they were fully able to mix it up and not stay stuck there (not every song, like LMLYLAW does not count, but most others really do)
