my problem with Jack is that sometimes he botches songs the way that they sound underwhelming like with the guitar solo on The greatest, lack of bass on Cinnamon, the entire underwhelming LMLYLAW or the same boring piano chords all over again. He tends to muffles his instrumentals, where it is trurly unnecessary, or just lack of instruments in general, however I’m holding onto hope that COCC won’t flop since it has a lot of guitars and Jack is definitely better with them than he is with piano 

it's true that the general impression i have of NFR is 'underwhelming'. for a long-awaited record that was supposed to be reminiscent of the RHCP or introspective sad girl shit, it was just underwhelming. i still think it's good, and it has a stripped down, yet quite rich feel of its own, and many of its songs are good, or really good, but it did not live up to what it promised. Chemtrails however seems way more promising

Agree !! This!!!

COTCC title track sounds actually good even the production,  so I  have hope for this album 

yess the title track is absolutely amazing, even though it’s subtle with its production but it builds up smoothly and creates a collapse as we get to the bridge with the grand instrumental

Guys I don't know if I should listen to White Dress on my birthday or wait til the album drops. My birthday is 10  days after the White Dress release and I think it would be so nice to have a brandnew Lana song + video as a birthday present 

And I can't remember the last time Lana dropped a song or music video that close to my birthday

I wouldn't even be able to wait 10 days after the release 

 

I would rather experience it at the same time as everyone else and it would be hard to avoid spoilers. Just consider it an early birthday present!

i want white dress to murder me the way old money did

I really don’t get the Jack hate here. True, many of his tracks are piano-based, and he is not as good with piano melodies as Rick, but his vocal arrangements and production overall make up for it. 
Besides, I never heard anyone complain that Fine China is piano-driven... (if she chooses to release anything country-ish or whatever her definition of it might be, she should include Fine China; the lyrics are her most « country / conservative / heartbreaking » ever and would fit that aesthetics).

what production he muffles everything.  And we r not complaining about Fine china cuz its not even released so why does it matter

I feel like Jack hate comes from his signature sound. 

 

Listen, I loved NFR, and for another example, I loved Lorde's Melodrama album. But something about his sound, idk, it's "I wanna punch his face" type of sound.

 

Doesn't take away the fact that I love some of his works. And two albums in a row with his sound can be triggering.

 

Before I get dragged any further, I'm not ungrateful or even triggered about it. I'll take anything Lana puts out. I'm just giving my opinion on where I think hate towards Jack, comes from.

ooop,  now I'm getting dragged. It's what I deserve I guess.

Radio is playing COCC again!!

I will never understand how people can say Jack’s piano melodies are less good than other producers’ when the NFR title track exists 

 

Jack is actually a piano virtuoso y’all—maybe I’m wrong but I don’t recall Rick making many piano melodies at all, it was all usually strings not piano overtures like NFR...

[honeybadger 40,659]

lana's site is showing up for me like this.......  omfg i can't stand it it's so off center 

[americangothic 1,727]

I dislike Jack's minimalistic approach and obssesion with piano ballads and I don't get his overrated status in the industry. However, I truly think Jack's production magnum opus to me is 'Venice Bitch'. I feel like the decision of making it a 9-minute song pushed him out of his 'typical four-chords pop song sound' comfort zone and had to improvise riffs, and come up with loops and changes, to give the song a new dimension. It's not a song with complex changes, they're subtle and cohesive.

 

But I also believe he should stop with this one-man show thingy. It makes his songs sound same-ish. I get it, it's his vibe, but what made Papa Rick Nowels songs to sound different from one another (compare 'Salvatore' to 'Cola') is the fact that Rick had a whole team of musicians who knew how to play multiple instruments other than just piano, mellotron and guitar.

Also in the music section they put born to die in honeymoon's place

Bartender, Summer Bummer, Is this happiness and Change outsold jack is a virtuoso when it comes to three chords maybe

9 DAYS until white dress 30 DAYS until the butterfly emerges from its COCCoon and i still haven't decided if i'm going to listen to white dress ahead of time 

[Fingertips 72,053]

I don't care about Jack THAT much either way, but I hope she makes a third record with him just to see the meltdowns

Idk what kind of speakers you're listening to Cinnamon Girl on...but babe that song was mastered just fine. The love child of video games and groupie love. However, I do agree with the other songs mentioned. They do have a muffled quality to them that kinda drains the life from the production. Bring back Both Dans (Heath and Auerbach) plz
