this is probably the first ever lana album that i haven't wanted to go back to, i used to always crave to listen to her albums every day whenever it was brand new, with chemtrails i often completely forget that it exists until i see my vinyl in the corner of my room 

I feel the exact same. With every Lana album, even Honeymoon, I crave to listen to it. COCC has been different. When I listen to it, I LOVE it. It’s an incredible album, but for some reason I don’t long to listen to it compared to previous releases.

 

Very weird lol.

Has anyone dug through the vocals of TJF? What is it exactly she's saying in the background of the last chorus? "You know I pray but never learn, you know what I'm saying? I'm like leaving {blank}" and idk what she's saying it bugs the absolute SHIT out of me

 

also wanted to add that guitar? synth? can't tell but on DBJAG at 0:40 going up when she sings "a pretty little fool" is a great attention to detail we need more of

omg i think many of us love it! myself included– it's def up there with my fav albums from her (UV, HM).

 

It's such a fully realised album. And there are no pointless filler tracks like Diet Mountain Dew, Coachella or The Next Best American Record. It flows so, so well. As a whole, it's definitely among her best albums.

My only issue with is that there are no cool upbeat tracks to liven up the mood a bit. Like what Doin' Time or High by the Beach did for NFR and Honeymoon.

i know she was going for folksy, but folk songs can be a hit too.

Basically, it's her worst album  when it comes to singles and the first one that's not charting at all single wise.

 

Like, I appreciate she doesn't care about making a hit. But I still wish she would keep the 'one song for the general public and the radio' approach that kept her in the charts before.

for me, it's actually difficult to not listen to it. it's a sophisticated record, n a lot more mellow than what we're used to, so w that I can understand that departure. but it's just awfully wholesome. aaannnnnnnd some of ya's might not be ready for that, and that's ok. COCC's a grower

Actually for me it's one of her easiest albums to listen to. I love Honeymoon but I have to be in a certain mood to hear it. COCC (and Norman too) is way more accessible for me.

Agreed. I LOVE IT. There's only one track I don't care for, and I wish she had sung all of 'For Free.' 

 

COCC is 'unshocking,' 'quiet,' 'meditative,' "there's no bangers," nothing as grim as 'Hope' and nothing as experimental (at least for LDR) as VB, LDR did not give it a lot of press support, and it seems to show her moving into a more mature phase of her career. And, on the day after its release, she announces RCS coming out in less than three months. So naturally a great deal of Stans and media people took that fact and ran with it instead of focusing on the just-released COCC. 

 

Someone above said COCC is "fully realized" and I agree 100% with that.

Because she's saving for her new country album called "Johny Cash is my father, Dolly Parton is my mother, Nikki Lane is my bestest friend"

[uvbabe 4,730]

Love it when she says 

 

(But fuck it) 

Life is sweet what-whatever baby 

Don't ever think it's not 

When the whole world is crazy 

We're making out in the parking lot! 

[Veinsineon 76,792]

The line in Wanderlust that says “you talk to god like I do, I think you know the same secrets that I do” really reminds me of that “I’d rather know what god knows” part in Pawn Shop. She really was just listening to a bunch of her unreleased to get inspired LOL

The way this thread died 

[godsmonster 14,221]

Wild at Heart is the best song on the album

I said what I said

[Cry by the beach 882]

I wish I could get into Wild At Heart but every time I listen to it I cant really think of it as its own song I just view it as a compilation of reused NFR scraps (from my least fav NFR songs)

Ok same. Every now and then I get a tinge of Rodeo Cotton Candy, but I really just can’t hear anything other than HtD for the rest.

[Crimson and Clover 22,505]

i love how she went from reusing lyrics to reusing instrumental segments  looking forward to her sample of DTWD's bridge on RCS

someone made a meme in here when Lana said “you’re killing me joe” then put a pic of Kamala smiling while on the phone now everytime I hear that part I laugh thanks
