Well girls I caved today because the weather outside felt right for listening to the album and

I love White Dress to Yosemite and I think it should have stopped there. I do not like the songs with the features, I wish it was only her. I am not a fan of Dance Til We Die with the celebrity name drops, feels corny. I think I will add some unreleased songs to the album and take BUS, DTWD, and FF out.

 

Also, does anyone hear How to Disappear in the background of Wild at Heart? 

 

 

Spoiler

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"

I wonder if the reason she’s being so quiet is because she feels she’s gotten so much backlash the past year. She seemed so genuinely excited to reveal the release date and cover and then ended up crying when people complained about the cover (and saying she’s only having white people on it). I wonder if she’s just... careful or if her excitement just disappeared. “Fuck it, I'm not do anything if they’re only going to complain about everything” is the feeling I’m getting. And then there’s also the possibility that she’s not 100% satisfied with the final versions because Jack couldn’t work as closely with her once the pandemic hit.

I wouldn’t be too surprised if she continues to lay on the low and just comes back to announce that the album is out and the white dress video.

I think so. It was horrible to acknowledge her pain. She may be wrong sometimes, mostly for not finding the right words to express herself, but she definitely does not deserve this kind of treatment from “fans”.

when was this?

Just after she revealed the cover I think...? No, just a few days after, after the White House riots. Her energy seems low, her cheeks are red and she’s sniffling a little, so I took it as she’s been crying recently.

Any prediction on the first week sales? 

I’m still hoping it’ll do like her last three albums and do above 100k first week in the US. Might not be realistic with the lack of promo but she does have all the variants plus she’s doing better in streaming than in past eras so maybe it’s possible.

im sad that she couldn't record more with jack because we'd have a longer album, and perhaps breaking up slowly would have been removed, i feel like she only added that song because she didn't have many other songs to use

I feel like Lana does this magic trick every time, where even with a doubtful-blurry-strange promotion she always delivers in terms of sales and streaming! Fingers crossed! It’s really not that important tbh, but it’s cool to be acknowledged for the music. And she deserves it.

I lowkey think she wants that lmao but for real though she's not promoting and most people who are not stans don't know she's releasing music. Plus, bundles don't count as sales anymore so realistically she won't get more than 60k.

why do you feel that way? i think she likes her songs with nikki a lot and it shows, and that she had more songs recorded for chemtrails (well, we know about dealer, but we also know that all songs that made the cut were made before March 2020, and I think she made some songs between March and October) but chose to keep breaking up slowly because she felt it belonged on the record

That's because she sold a bunch of bundles with LFL and NFR.

Upon much deliberation I have my temporary final ranking lol I'll probably change my mind again 

Spoiler

- White Dress, right up there with the most emotional Lana songs for me (Ride, Old Money, Video Games, Yayo) - it's heartbreaking and deserves #1

- Yosemite, she said it was too happy for L4L uh excuse me sir? It's so gloomy, she's mourning the summer of her life being almost over and the bridge shatters me every time

- For Free, props to Jack here for adding some beautiful, subtle instrumentation to the already beautiful original piano melody - and the girls' voices come together beautifully

- Breaking Up Slowly, this was a tight run against TJF because I feel like Jack went way overboard with TJF (the audio tune is SO distracting and sharp) and did not enough with BUS; I would have loved for it to be longer and have drums and an electric guitar solo

- TJF, I really wanted to stan this song but the audio tune totally ruins it for me

- NAWWAL, it's a cute song, nothing ground breaking but I'm a sucker for lovely melodies and when Lana gets her melodies right it's over, they get stuck in my head

- Chemtrails, the song is not aging well and it sounds like it doesn't really sit anywhere in the record

- DTWD, it's interesting that she took a turn halfway through the song and went bluesy on the bridge but it's not what I look for when I listen to Lana, I have Tom Waits for that, maybe I'll change my mind

- DBJAG, this is going to be a fan favourite, and I don't hate it, I just think it's so out of place on this record and I hate that the verses are moody and the chorus is happy, it's so underwhelming 

- LMLYLAW, honestly this song does nothing for me, it's not a Roachella slander situation but meh I don't know

- Wild at heart, I really wanted a song that kind of picked up where Quiet Waiter left off and I thought it was where this was going but then the HTD revival with those ugly Christmas bells gave me PSTD and it's a shame because the verses and pre-chorus are really sweet

Nah I think it earned it's place on the album after Yosemite. Yosemite seems like such a monumental song that it's hard to just continue. So I think it's cute that she let's another singer take over for a minute - as if Lana herself puts on a country song to distract herself (I think there are sounds of putting on a record at the beginning of the song) It feels like a late interlude to me.
