I feel the same. This is the album i've been craving from her since she put out Ultraviolence that summer.

 

 

Spoiler

Honestly this is what I wanted Honeymoon to be back then. I love Honeymoon so much too! And so happy both of them exist. But Chemtrails is, like I said, my favorite kind of music. Also, her voice sounds so damn beautiful in ALL tracks. 

 

[Pink Flamingo 17,145]

Now that I have listened to "chemtrails" again I want to give you my opinion on this album.

Spoiler

I feel that the songs from white dress to let me love you like a woman sound strong, they are powerful.
After this comes wild at heart, I think the song is good, there is a part (second 58) that sounds exactly the same as love song, I mean the rhythm. Dark but just a game sounds sexy and it's pretty cool but I don't see myself listening to it all the time.
track number seven, eight and ten are pretty slow ballads, I love ballads but somehow I can't connect with those songs, those songs sound the same as tomorrow never came (or have a resemblance to that song) breaking up slowly is great and I love the lyrics.
I honestly feel that Norman is better in terms of production, if this album is risky in something it would be in Lana's vocal register because I didn't like the production very much ... maybe it will grow on me later.

This album feels like a slower continuation of Norman, I honestly want Lana to take more risks on her next album because I didn't like this one at all.

The pandemic kind of stalled Lana’s productivity I feel. I’m still assuming she still has Behind the Iron Gates coming out, but 

Spoiler

the album is just missing the usual bar when it comes to melodies

Dark But Just a Game has gotta be one of the best songs in her career. It's all over the place and in such a good way. It's COCC's Venice B*tch

So beautiful. So pure. Omg her growth. 

 

NAWWAL sounds like From The Dining Table by Harry and a mix of TS

whats the consensus around white dress? i feel like ive seen a lot of people love it but when she talks real fast and breathy it just sounds like shes wheezing to me  maybe itll be a grower though idk

Spoiler

Something curious about this is that the same thing happened to me with folklore and now it is one of my favourite albums, I hope the same happens with this one.
I see it as a more difficult album to digest because as I said the second half is too slow (and I have nothing against that kind of songs, I actually like them but with this ones I don't know what happens)

Her voice in BUS sounds heavenly. Loved it was a collab cus Nikki adds some blues to it and Lana SHINES.

i think what i like is how the whole thing feels very melancholy and almost defeated. like they are resigned to a doomed relationship. the lyrics aren't super intricate. the blunt delivery/conversational tone almost reminds me of Pretty When You Cry. Nikki's voice sounds very pretty (in the studio version bc that live version was yikes) but Lana's voice is fucking angelic

 

i just wish there was a bridge

I loved WD on my first listen but now I can't stand her voice, which is a shame because it is a masterpiece and I anticipated it a lot

I feel like I need to hear this album in its propery quality though. I can barely make out the instruments in Tulsa. I think I’m done listening until official release.

BUS could top the Country and Americana charts if Lana's team had a lick of sense at all

TJF and DBJAG are both deserving of a radio push too.
