TEMPORARY Chemtrails Over the Country Club - Pre-Release Thread: OUT March 19th, 2021

[lizzyschemtrails 2,832]

Spoiler

I always felt like chemtrails (the title track) was her kind of accepting fate. I felt like she looked at the chemtrails as something to watch and look at because she realizes that there's nothing she can do about them (in a literal sense). so, the album themes of her feeling free and finding peace kind of go along with that - she no longer worries about what she can't control and focuses on the things in life most important to her

Anyways I’ve been thinking about the title of the album and 

 

usually I feel like her album titles fit the mood of the album perfectly but this one I’m not so sure. I love COCC the song and think it’s one of her very best title tracks, but I am left sort of not understanding the title and how it relates to much of the music, which is never usually the case 

 

but I also don’t know what other song would have been a good title track? I think knowing that not all who wander are losts original title was Wanderlust would have been a cool album title and another really striking one word title in her discography  

 

the album is all about feeling free and finding peace I feel like so just thought it could fit with the goal of trying to reach that

 

any one have any thoughts ? Idk this is rambling lol

Can we all just appreciate how much Neils fucking cover fits after hearing the album. It really evokes the vibe this album has! 

 

Spoiler

Totally! The actual cover ain't got nothing to do with the music... but anyway

I was honestly going to write something about that earlier, but I got distracted. To me with the context of the full album now, the current cover makes absolutely no sense. It's so random and it doesn't fit the vibe of the album, or aesthetic, or sound? It's completely and absolutely non-sensical. It's an obvious afterthought.

ok so i'm listening to it now bc waiting sucks and

Spoiler

this album is all over the place for me.  songs like the title track, TJF, Dark are fantastic and count as career highlights, but overall this album is so much more hit and miss than her other material?  i'd argue this is more spotty than LFL, at least for now.  it might come back to bite me but this just doesn't catch me the same way NFR did.

also Wild at Heart is just a worse How to Disappear which is sad cuz HTD is underrated as hell

wait BUS... y'all were hating on nikki?  i hadn't heard this before now but this is so good. they harmonize great and the song is catchy as fuck... bye 

 

overall this album might be her worst which i hate saying, i hope it grows on me in some form because i didn't want it to be like this after her antics

 

song breakdowns:

Spoiler

white dress: a 6???  it's not bad but it has to grow on me

chemtrails: light 8.  catchy and a lot of good lyrics but it could use a bit more

tulsa jesus freak: light 9?  catchy, fun, hearing the WHF title drop w/o knowing about it in advance shook me

lmlylaw: like a 6, it's grown on me a little bit it's not great still.  underwhelming

wild at heart: 4 at best, fine enough song but it stands in htd's shadow in the worst way

dark but just a game: 8.5?  really fantastic, defs favorite new track

not all who wander are lost: like a 5, not bad but completely passed me by

yosemite: like a 6?  definitely feels darker than most of LFL yet it still feels like it would've fit just fine sonically.  not super engaging to me but i still like it

breaking up slowly: strong 8, sultry but catchy!  love nikki here tbh

dance till we die: like a 4?  just kinda meanders around.  it feels like it might grow on me but :/ WAIT THIS BRIDGE... 6.5ish

for free: like a 5.5 i was really insistent on not giving into the pre-release hate because that's not my style but this isn't fantastic... a little sleepy.  everyone sounds great on it tho

 

 

[SouthInGuy 1,699]

I am definitely waiting too.(I think...)  I have to work the night it comes out. I'm sure I'll get in a quick listen but I won't be able to fully immerse myself with this album for a few days after the release date. I can wait a little longer. 

[American Whore 51,340]

The fact we got cocc today 

 

but honestly, i don’t know how this album sits with me still. I wanna hear it all in correct order (I haven’t been bothered to download it, i can wait a week for that, i’ve just listened to it) but it definitely will flow better in original tracklist. BUS and FF are definitely skips for me. I love TJF, the “amen” part hahaha and also i wanna know what’s happening in the background sounds, like what is that??? What is she saying?

[rightofjupiter 16,615]

Spoiler

the way she says "tattoo" in all who wander reminds me of how she says it in yayo <3

 

also the way lana just KNEW yosemite had to be saved for the album where it belonged, psychic queen

I can see why fans (those who have listened) are divided on this album. In my opinion, it is cohesive, concise, intimate, and personal. It is definitely not something that someone is able to digest fully and easily on first listen. The studio noises and fuzziness, imperfect vocals (and I mean that in the best way), and the airiness of it all definitely make it so incredibly raw. I am in awe. When I hear the songs on this album, I just think of the word "dazzling". It truly is beautiful. From the high pitched, fast-paced vocals in 'White Dress' (which made me cry, btw), to the breathiness in 'Tulsa Jesus Freak', to even the witchiness and ominous vibes 'Yosemite' brings... it's just such an intimate experience. This album will grow on a lot of people, I think, and it'll be a standout in her discography for years to come.

these are my same issues with the album too

i don’t know how to explain it but it doesn’t feel like a full body of work. at the moment it kinda just feels... there? as though maybe it’s purpose is solely to be a bridge from NFR to the album after this one. the songs are overall enjoyable but somehow it feels more like an EP or a bunch of unreleased songs leaking at once rather than a fully fleshed out album project

i’m relistening now and it’s interesting. I think the best part about white dress is the way it ended. I honestly think white dress would’ve fit better ending the album tbh? Just the way the song ended… rather than starting with white dress. I like how the album is cohesive, it makes sense thematically throughout the entire thing, but I’m still so unsure about white dress as the first track. I love TJF though, that’s prolly my favorite track. I’m surprisingly shocked by Yosemite, I thought it was repetitive but still good. It makes sense for this album but now we need justice for Roses Bloom For You
