now who the fuck greenlit the Wild at Heart instrumental... i just need to have a conversation with them

What score are we predicting in MC? I’d say 83-84.

This is for sure the least accessible album from her and it's not even about it being folk or not having bops.
Song structures and melodies are really complicated. I feel like Lana is known for making catchy pop melodies and putting them into different music genres. 
Even "weird" tracks from Honeymoon like title track have some catchy parts (bridge).

So I totally understand why some people don't like this album. We all are looking for different things in music.

She took a huge risk with COCC and I feel like she did that because she has nothing left to prove at this point.

But why did lana make WAH use HTD instrumentals so much tho... This is the biggest turnoff on this album for me :/

Her voice drives me mad it literally makes my ears physically hurt

 

Spoiler

too lazy to check what this is about but i'm guessing white dress and i agree white dress is unlistenable... her vocals are so awful idc if its to make it more emotional she cant hit a single note in that song and it sounds horrible sorry

Dark but just a game should be sent to radios and Tulsa should be spammed on Spotify playlists do something @Ben Mawson

I would say 68, or 69 (nice) But I would hope for higher I guess. I don't know why I think critics will try too hard to compare it to NFR

If Honeymoon is her most hated album is because the melodies are the weakest ones of her career. I mean, even songs like Music To Watch Boys To or Freak, which are singles, have pretty weak melodies (they are good songs tho). Wild At Heart o COCC are much more accessible than anything on HM. Not to mention Tulsa or LMLYLAW.

I fucking love it

I'm digging the folky vibe and she did that with DBJAG 

Jack pls forgive whatever I said to you

The more I listen to 'White Dress' the more jarring her vocals become. I can't with the whispery, loud vocals. It's just straight up unpleasant to hear. Too bad the melody is good.

it's actually so random, it makes it so Lana and it works very well for both lmao but yeah it's odd that within 11 tracks they managed to feature a reject, a cover and a sample

Screaming at this ATRL post, but I lowkey feel the same without being so hyperbolic:

 "was surprised by the mixed reaction to this album... and then I wasn't.

 

This is further proof of a deep generational chasm that divides ATRL into two camps; the twentysomething indie sophisticates with 15 to 20 years of top-shelf music consumption to their name, and Dua Lipa stans who decided they liked "folk" music because they liked Taylor Swift's last two albums. It's not that the latter generation is a lost cause entirely, but they've clearly never heard a singer/songwriter at the peak of her powers— that is, they've never encountered an artist like Lana del Rey at her peak on her sixth studio album.

 

The Lana del Rey of "Chemtrails Over the Country Club" is Lana as Lana is intended to sound. She very skillfully vacillates between a range of tones; she is nasally, then guttural, then grainy, then nasally again, then delicate. (And yes, that's how she's supposed to do it.) She's sultry. She's goofy. She's sounds slightly absurd. She's fully engaged. She's expressive in ways that "technically superior" vocalists just aren't. She is brilliant. You have no idea how brilliant she is."

 

Why did this make me want to cry  That last sentence !!

 

not me being an indie twentysomething sophisticate

MY THOUGHTS RIGHT NOW 

 

Spoiler

white dress: INCREDIBLE, one of the best if not her best title track, her vocal take on it is incredible and gorgeous and i appreciate it so much. i get why people wouldn't like it but i LOVE it, it's the perfect song to scream in the car, it's so fucking good and so heartbreaking i cried when i first listened to it

 

chemtrails: AMAZING GODLY title track, probably in the middle of my rankings right now, i love it but i've already expressed my thoughts on it.... within the context of the album it's EVEN BETTER which i didn't think was possible

 

tulsa: OH MY FUCKING GOD. if you haven't listened to this in the car you HAVE to. absolutely beautiful AND autotune done well – kinda reminds me of "birds of a feather" from sirens!!!!!!! which is a wonderful thing!!!!!! i love the melody itS SO GOOD if i had to crash my car to a song it'd be this one

 

LMLYAW: within the context of the album not a highlight or the top track, but INCREDIBLE nonetheless, and i appreciate it more and more every day

 

wild at heart: oh my gODDDDDD i love this track so much. i put this at #1 in my prerelease track rankings because i went rogue and i DONT REGRET THAT AT ALL, it's 10000% one of my top tracks. so heartbreaking and beautiful, the lyrics are adorable and gorgeous. I CRIED IN THE CAR LISTENING TO THIS

 

dark but just a game: i LOVE IT, it's so interesting and gorgeous, it sounds TERRIBLE in my car though because the car vibrates really loudly whenever there's any bass  but listening to it with headphones is GORGEOUS, I'M SO INTO IT, IF SHE HAS ANYTHING ELSE LIKE THIS.... AJDOSFDSGHFLKDZ;FXBV jack did something good with this track... it's SO INTERESTING

 

NAWWAL: i love it, it was hard for me to absorb in the car at first so i didn't really form a solid opinion on it, but i think i'm LOVING it, it's so heartbreaking and beautiful it's making me go crazy... her voice is BEAUTIFUL i love it so much, i kinda wish the chorus wasn't so repetitive, but it's giving me folk guns and roses so i'm okay with it

 

yosemite: GODLY AND HEAVENLY... literally what a beautiful incredible track, definitely sounds better on headphones than in the car, but SO BEAUTIFUL and i love the lyrics, it blends so well with the album and i'm so grateful we HAVE IT and the BONGOS i was RIGHT it does give kill kill the ocean energy in terms of instrumentals

 

breaking up slowly: SOMEWHAT UNEXPECTEDLY HIGH IN MY RANKINGS!!! i half wish it was only lana but it's such a beautiful track especially with the bass and instrumentals, and nikki doesn't sound bad at all

dance till we die: I LOVE THIS TRACK, it's another track i cried to in the car, THE BRIDGE UGHHFDKHLJKG and the chorus, i agree with the mojo review that it's outstanding... just a simply beautiful and thrilling track

 

for free: one of her best if not her BEST COVER, absolutely beautiful and i also cried to it. zella and weyes sound BEAUTIFUL and so does lana, it's a perfect cover

At least COCC is giving some sexier bops like TJF

 

Felt like I haven’t heard one since Florida Kilos

 

 

Don't wanna be that guy but the fact that this is all some of you are expecting from her
