Okay. Even in that capacity, then, COCC the song is like neither 'Hejira' or 'Don Juan's Reckless Daughter,' especially since, in my opinion, 'DJRD' is just a retread of 'Hejira.' They're fraternal twins. 

I’ve heard the song Chemtrails. You and I already even discussed Joni songs it was similar to. I was just using two songs to ask what the vibe of the album had. It was supposed to be a straight-forward question. And those two Joni songs don’t even sound anything alike. You’re probably thinking of Coyote, not Hejira. Anyway, this conversation is going nowhere. You don’t understand Lana/Joni comparisons, while I’ve seen them since BTD, so I don’t expect us to see eye to eye here.

I agree. On headphones, as others noted just above, it's incredible, all the little additions and subtleties you pick up. I love the early trip hop LDR, but this production is immaculate.

No I didn’t.
I asked between two songs that happen to be title tracks (that don’t even represent their albums very well). I even explained I meant the songs. I never asked which album it was more like, I don’t expect it to sound just like any album by anybody tbh. What makes Lana and Joni so similar has never been what they sound like. I only asked if the album was more atmospheric and folky or upbeat and country. 

gorl. what’s with the font?

we need to know what’s up with the font.

girl.

i HATE folklory/country/soft sounds on an album especially when it's lana (the singer that gave productions like the 'born to die' and 'MTWBT' ones) 

not to mention that so many melodies reminds me of her past era -_-, many songs sounded like NFR balads melodically , many songs felt like NFR rejections/demos

Great. You're right, I meant 'Coyote' and 'DJRD.' Then, in that capacity, COCC the album is more like 'Hejira' the song.

I don’t like the standard font. Plus fonts are fun.

Thanks. That’s all I was asking. More people have said this too, so I hope I’m not let down. After all, quite a few songs on Folklore got that comparison and none of the songs were like that song at all. (Sometimes I fear people just compare everything to the most well known Joni songs/albums, instead of diving deep into her discography)

[Lustrouslines 5,202]

Chemtrails may be her most critically acclaimed album right after NFR. I do wish though that Neils cover or the cover with the horses was the one printed on the entirety of raving reviews about COCC instead of the group picture. I wouldn’t want the cover to be detrimental to the actual album, but who knows if they take these into consideration. AOTY 2022

It’s patchy in some places but overall I find it more interesting then NFR in a lot of places. I think it’s a little more diverse with parts like the bridges and structures. Some songs on NFR although were great felt like they were dragging almost.  
 

Yes the lyrics are a little too similar in some places ‘no candle in the wind’ ‘we did for free free’ ‘ I’m just so strange and wild’ they seem rehashed, but honestly this is  probably Lana’s way of connecting songs and creating something  uniform across her music so I don’t mind it.  

 

 

Also a reminder - Eclipse doesn’t work for the Rolling Stones or Pitchfork so I’d not get too upset by it. Not an attack on him but his opinion is worth the same as everyone else’s so It doesn’t bother me personally.  I have a saying,  opinions are like assholes everyone has one.

dtwd is not my favorite song, but i keep it on the tracklist. for flop and flopping up slowly I would like to kick it out. I replace them with "roses bloom for you" and "i talk to jesus"

 

Spoiler

I am warming up to dtwd and will keep it, but the others I have deleted. I will definitely be adding I Talk to Jesus to replace one of the others.

I agree about Folklore--I really don't understand that album title at all.

 

NFR! was said/thought by many to be 'folk' or 'folk-like,' but I didn't find it to be so except possibly 'Bartender.' However, I do thing the folk tag works for some of COCC, especially 'Yosemite.' It is a mediative album, but it doesn't have the lyrical depth or scope of 'Hejira' the album--which is no insult to LDR, since I'm sure we agree that Hejira is almost unparalleled in terms of lyrics and vision. However, 'Yosemite' is very intensely emotional in a quiet, almost spooky way. I find it unlike anything else she's ever done. You have a lot to look forward to and I look forward to your thoughts on it.
