LFL, NFR and Paradise are not cohesive. Literally the opposite of cohesive, beloved 

NFR is not cohesive? it's 99% the same producer sweety. I don't think you know what the word means.

This mashup is so amazing, it brings out a sad sweetness in COCC. If you like mashups, you should listen.

This is probably what jack wanted cocc title track to sound like 

it's really good and clean though

[honeymo0n 8,623]

I've had this album on shuffle since it got released and tbh I can't stop listening to it, it's so good

[Venice Jesus Whore 4,471]

Why do I love the random snippets of the guy’s voice in Not All Who Wander Are Lost so much?

I hope she doesn't say "candle in the wind" in this record. It's not pleasant to hear or visualize 

 

I thought that I was on RCS thread

LFL and cohesive are like binary opposites though.

I really hope lyrically she doesn’t repeat herself on RCS. ‘We did it for fun for free, I’m wild’ ‘candle in the wind’. It would be embarrassing.  The words wild, free, blue and baby are banned.

I wouldn't mind her saying blue. It sounds so nice in her voice

My album ranking:

 

1. Honeymoon 

2. Chemtrails Over The Country Club 

3. Ultraviolence ( some songs remind me of harder, darker times in my life so it's hard to listen to them but it's still such a genius & brilliant album)

4. Lust for Life ( for personal reasons, it's just so good to have a more "happier" sounding album and the last three tracks reflect my mindset really good atm)

5. Norman Fucking Rockwell ( her album with the most skips for me ( like 4 songs lol) but I love the songs I love a lot like Venice Bitch, Bartender,  California, some songs are okay/ good but nothing more)

6  Paradise  /  A.K.A

7.Born to Die ( still like it and it's a good album but I love how she evolved & grew after it  so much)

France Inter Review of Chemtrails !

Original French available on the link, the below translation is my own. With Chemtrails over the country club, Lana Del Rey writes her letter to Hollywood, a declaration of folk love. Lana Del Rey, the glamour icon returns to sing to us with a poetic album, hovering and nostalgic for the 70s in the United States. A love letter to folk music, superbly produced by Jack Antonoff, with Lana Del Rey repeats and renews her success after the triumph of her album Norman Fucking Rockwell.

Chemtrails over the country club. Lana Del Rey’s seventh album and can be heard as a letter to her country, the U.S. But it’s above all a record that demonstrates her immense talents, as a writer and singer, which definitively places her next to her idols that have inspired her, from Joan Baez to Joni Mitchell, the latter who she covers on For Free. Her latest opus is the fruit of another collaboration with the excellent producer Jack Antonoff, who also worked with Lana Del Rey on her previous album Norman Fucking Rockwell, which was immensely successful and gained critical acclaim. However, on her latest album, which has been released a little less than a year after her album of spoken word poetry, has a unique sound, the background is full of guitars, tambourines, pianos and various cords, the sounds are alternately enticing, hopping, lancinating, or minimal, Chemtrails over the country club is in fact an expression of profound nostalgia for the past.

Lana Del Rey is nostalgic. In one of her poems, we hear her despair and passion for L.A. We feel that everything causes her pain, but that she still, cruelly, needs!

Her album offers, in fact, two ways to read it, and envokes the Lettre à France from Polnareff in 1977. This is a true declaration of love, where Lana Del Rey sings about her grief for her country, as if in exile. But we can also see the album as a women’s desperate letter who is far from the man who she loves.

A dual meaning that is well executed.

The original diva of Lake Placid dreams of a certain America, vintage, chic and glamourous, she celebrates country and folk music, which allows us to breathe some of this air of freedom and lack of worry that was blowing through the US in the 70s.

“Chemtrails” are those plumes of clouds that planes leave in the sky above the country club, but it is also a metaphor for evoking the stigmas of a faltering American democracy.

If Lana Del Rey is nostalgic for the America of the past, she is also especially worried about her search for identity. “Are these my good years, or do I have none?” She wonders on Breaking Up Slowly.

Chemtrails over the Country Club, a France Inter album that came to us well with a postscript signed by Lana Del Rey:

« Pour- la- liberté » !

Lana Del Rey’s new album out now.

Keep that bottle at your hand, my man
You know what I'm sayin'?
