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

What song do you think they'll push to Today's Top Hits (if they have the drive to do even that)? 

 

I'm thinking it must be Tulsa Jesus Freak, Wild at Heart, or Yosemite. White Dress is my favorite on the album, but outside of the video, I wouldn't see it hooking a lot of new listeners.

Does anyone else NOT get Cinnamon Girl/Freak/Cherry vibes from Tulsa...like at all? It's in the same vein of being a very sensual, feminine track but I don't get the comparison sound wise. I think it's more interesting as well.

White Dress (even though it should be Tulsa).

in a dream world, maybe TJF or yosemite. realistically, LMLYLAW

but honestly this album is definitely less palatable than norman (which we all enjoy i think), but i'm really not sure what tracks they'll deem as the most palatable and easy to get into to an outside audience

okay so i finally gave in and listened to cocc, start to finish twice in one sitting. On the first listening DBJAG, BUS and Yosemite stood out to me, but i felt unsure as to whether i liked it, unsure as to whether it was too similar to NFR- i found it hard to pinpoint how i felt about it in general. So i listened to it for a second time, lying in the dark. This time round i feel i appreciated various other songs more than i did the first time, such as TJF, WD, NAWWAL and for free. Honestly this is a very beautiful album. At many points the melodies swirl together and lift you up, as though you are lying in the sea allowing the tide to take you far away. These moments were particularly strong in TJF and DBJAG (especially after its first chorus)- in DBJAG the piano seems so delicate but chaotic at the same time. Layering of vocals and instruments alike are far more common than in NFR, and although mainly produced by the same person, COCC seems more extravagant to me, more dramatic- whereas NFR felt slightly more intimate. Some of the strings used or how some of the electric guitars fade out do remind me of NFR, however vocally COCC is very different to NFR, more adventurous. Overall, I'd say my top three songs on COCC are DBJAG, Yosemite and BUS. Better on the second listen- COCC is a grower so i imagine it may get dragged by the BTD/pop stans sadly- it is one of, if not her most, experimental album to date, what with its instrumental swells and varying vocal styles

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think Lana is at her best on this album - I tend to prefer more subtle instrumentals (or just more laid-back) because I feel that it suits Lana better. I adore her earlier work, with grand instrumentals too (ex. BTD, UV) but something about Lana's voice and some strings, piano, and soft percussion is just so beautiful. Even in the songs where the instrumentals are a bit more 'extravagant', there are still subtleties to them that really allow Lana's voice to shine.

The way this album will hit me when I return to work and having meetings at the godamn country club 

[SalvaWHORE 34,406]

Hey guys. Since I've seen some people been asking for "HQ version" of Neil Krug's cover artwork - without that half-assed Remini-enhance ofc. I reworked the Alternate hmv album cover in a fully possible HQ way. You can download the photo here in this link for your iTunes library (or just post it on Lana Del Rey wikia).

Bonus: an alternate cover that I made for the album (I did a quick retouch on the "tracklist cover" and turn it into front cover if you dont mind).

I knew Yosemite was gonna sound like change. But I think Yosemite is a lot worse and I don’t even like change. My unpopular opinion is that Yosemite is the worst and most forgettable song on the album although the spoken part is really great. There is not much too it sonically or even lyrically.... seasons will change but we won’t change.. okay....lol

 

[Fingertips 72,053]

Let Me Love You Like a Goddess truly sounds magnificent in the context of the record. I am really ahead of my time.

You've got balls for sharing this opinion, luv. I love Yosemite, but props.

I personally think this is one of the unrecognizable gem of the record, just like how "Change" was. But the further time flies, the more fine this song will age, trust me. Yosemite literally shows us a peaceful, calm & collected side from Lana than ever. Somehow, it turns out great.
