Don't drag me but Wild at Heart, Dark But Just a Game and Yosemite aren't blowing me away like some of you describe, i'm trying but i'm still a little meh with them. Wild at Heart has no punch for me, the chorus starts and it still sounds like the verse. I'm not saying these songs suck but they're taking a while to grow on me. Hopefully they will soon.

It's hard to top songs like White Dress, Chemtrails and Not All Who Wonder Are Lost though so i'll give them time. 

Heroin seemed to be an instant fan favourite when LFL dropped as well but i didn't like it and now i do, Yosemite better come around

feeling the same only with wild at heart and yosemite

yosemite is way better than I thought tho and wild at heart is just too country for me. but I feel like yosemite will be a grower 

[prettywhenimhigh]

she's dropped from 82 to 81 on metacritic

We keep changing all the time
The best ones lost their minds
So I'm not gonna change
I'll stay the same
No rose left on the vines
Don't even want what's mine
Much less the fame
It's dark but just a game
It's dark but just a game

Wild at heart has a beautiful melody in the verses but it goes a little too beatles for me, also im finding it very hard to get past the way too obvious HTD sample, the song sounds straight from NFR, it reminds me a little of the greatest. Such a beautiful and bittersweet beginning but then come the chorus and ummm chile- yeah

I'm really not a fan of Lana singing with a classic beatles melody, kinda cheapens it for me, and jacks lousy anti climatic production on the track doesn't really help especially when her vocals randomly get louder in parts of the chorus... i like the ending harmonies though

album of the year is 84 tho and that one isn’t weighted so it’s actually more fair! It’s got a *must listen* tag on AOTY as well!  

[honeybadger]

i'm starting my day off listening to chemtrails and i couldn't be happier

damn, 83/100 on 16 reviews is much better than I expected so far. I think it will drop a bit but this is doing very well

theres quite a few scores to be added. I think 3 100s and a 90. 
 

it will probably be like an 87 when it updates unless another mid review gets added with them

[Furor Poeticus]

Some moments of this album remind me of her version of Some Things Last A Long Time

[Fingertips]

We've done it for fun, we've done it for free
I showed up for you, you showed up for me
We did it for the right reasons
We did it for fun, we did it for free
When I was young till eternity
I'll do it for the right reasons
Withstanding all the time, changes and seasons

 

This part DESTROYS me 

 

[Brooklynbaby]

And I felt seennnnn that part always gets me 

[Pico Ocean Boulevard]

You know an album is really good when you don't want it to end

It’s been that way for a few hours now, but it’ll increase again when more reviews will be added (especially all the 5/5)

[The Stargirl Pinky]

Did @IanadeIrey post her thots yet? Girl the people demand to hear what you have to say!! 

[littleredpartydress]

Wow nearly 20 major publications have reviewed this already, she never gets that many on the first day

 

critics were HYPED to hear this. You know they wanted to drag too but the music is too beautiful to do it in good faith  

[pin up galore]

the way on AM they put the BUS lyrics as “drank cali whiskey out on the lawn” like how the fuck did they hear that 

[past the bushes]

me a few minutes ago on my way to the pre-release thread to post

 

but seriously, i'm so glad we all got to listen to this masterpiece (goodbye spoilers!), i'm busy right now but i'll read your thoughts on the album later, which i'm sure are great 

[Terrence Loves Me]

white dress is seriously so fucking sad, yosemite to me definitely sounds happy/positive in my opinion, but i can see how some may think it sounds sad too, maybe thats why im not vibing with it much, it's all laa de daah we did it for fun i did it for you you did it for me... , chile i have no one
