There's a screengrab of the NME 5 star review of the album going around, but you should go to the author's twitter and give her some love.

It still sounds too mellow. I think it will be my least fave album from her.

 

You are aware of what song/album you're representing in your signature and avi, right? 

[lizzyschemtrails 2,832]

Goodnight everyone! This has been so much fun. I’ll be streaming COTCC while I sleep

[Poor Stacy 11,996]

The Independent's 5 star review should offset The Guardian being trolls, so... I feel better. 

[Fingertips 72,036]

The way i checked all of the songs in the poll to this thread 

[Beautiful Loser 48,829]

Okay, like, I need y’all to give me all proof of Lana being in Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, wherever in her pre-fame days, Tulsa is making me believe in those headcanons of Lana being in a cult.

[anwdelrey 9,270]

Alexis stays preventing her from having her 90s metacritic moment lmao

[Poor Stacy 11,996]

Dance Till We Die, I've missed you, babe...

The music itself is everything i had hoped, it was brooding, optimistic, enchanting, emotional and methodical. Her rescinding the song out of vocal vulnerability in the same breath she killed malibu out of fear of transparency found a funny way into an album full of airy and broken vocals. White Dress being a thread laced through Wild at Heart in the way it is through Yosemite through Dark through For Free. The a capella she sung in 2017 obviously didn't do it justice and how anyone thought it could was laughable and that is their own fault. Her voice here is gorgeous, the song writing is beautiful, the atmosphere created in this song is so . fucking. beautiful. I knew this song was my favorite she's ever made before hearing it and I've heard it and it's still the best song she's ever created. The bridge is like a god speaking through the sky in thundering tongues and lightning flares. The imagery i suspected years ago of desert-y folk songs you'd look out over the desert and see an impending storm rings true, this is the calm inside a storm, it's an ignorant and threatened peace. i see nothing but rainless storms and sharp winds light by the invincible glow of candlelight. Yosemite is immaculate, a highlight, and a mission statement for the record. It couldn't be without Chemtrails and Chemtrails couldn't be without Yosemite. 

 

She wasn't quite at yosemite in 2017, and being able to confidently proclaim enough that she could put a song about doing things for free on a record bookended with a memoir about making art for free, and a collaborative homage to a song about lovingly observing others making art for free is quite powerful. Her never mentioning Yosemite in the lyrics is powerful

 

 

Now why am i crying at this

thank you for putting it down

Why does every critical review feel they need to preface discussion of the album with huge paragraphs about her early career? Why can't people separate the artist from the art. 

[Beautiful Loser 48,829]

Tulsa Jesus Freak makes me want to become a Christian and join this fucked up cult she’s in.

Almost felt like reading some personal hyperanalysis/projections of Lana and her so called character straight out of some LB threads.

COCC is currently 2. on the US iTunes charts yall.... how is Justin Beefcurtains beating her????

[FallingCherry 7,731]

It feels so surreal, I can’t believe it’s finally out! And she’s getting critical acclaim, she deserves it so much. We don’t talk about The Guardian, it’s pretty obvious that they hold a grudge against Lana.
