I actually like the last 3 songs from COCC (maybe sometimes except by BUS). Dance Till We Die should've been the closer. For Free could be great, but lacks Lana and a good ending.

I like them too but they are just not as strong as the rest of the album.

i don't hate breaking up slowly but i do think it misses something.

To everyone who dislikes the song; do you think you would like it if it had drums in it? 

[saith 1,186]

Let Me Love You Like A Woman being the first single of the album while being the least popular original song from it

I personally like it much more in the context of the album than I did as a single but it's still one of my least favorite. Poor thing 

How popular was it with the general public compared to other songs like Hope that were singles without any proper promotion ?

Imma be honest I was one of the biggest COCC "haters". Not bc it's bad or anything but bc it was half-hearted. Obviously no one really cared enough to put more tracks on the album, cut 3-4 of the ones that are on the album and give it a cool cover. The overall package was underwhelming and I really didn't revisit the album after the first month. But it's been now prob over a week that I am listening to most of the album again and fell a bit in love with it. Don't get me wrong: it's prob Lana's weakest album but for other artists it would have been their magnum opus.It's more like an EP. The album has too many fillers and the production is lacklust on some of the tracks. I hate that wild at heart sounds like Hope &  Let Me Love You.. sounds a bit like MAC - we have those songs already and these are just weak copies imo. Also Yosemite was so hyped and the song has the worst chorus on the album (the verses are amazing tho). Another problem for me is For Free. It's not a bad song but I just don't care. I never feel like playing the song. I also never could connect to White Dress but that's just me. This album also has some of her career highlights: Dark, Chemtrails, Tusla, Wander & Dance Till We Die. Most of those tracks are a shift in sound that I really appreciate and combined with the new vinyl re-release this album could get into my top 5 records released this year.  Blue Banisters is coming for the top spot tho...

The PG Mix by @plastiscguy is HEAVENLY. I even replaced the album version with it (same with Let Me Love You Like a Woman, Not All Who Wander Are Lost and For Free). But even the original was one of my favourites from the album, I just can't get why it (and Nikki) gets so much hate.

[mlittle11 12,232]

Bottom line is COCC would have been an amazing EP. As an album, it has so much boring n half-hearted filler that i never listen to it. I havent listened to the album in its entirety since a week after it came out. However, I do come back to Chemtrails, White Dress, and TJF pretty often. Those songs are career highlights. I just think that Lana has created much better moods, stories, and music in general before. I would much rather listen to her other work. That being said, Lana is such a legend that a hiccup in her discography doesn’t derail anything. Plus she was aware that this wasn’t her best work as she “didn’t reach what she was going for” and that’s totally fine. I still appreciate being able to hear the songs from this era and see where Lana was trying to take her sound. 

[plastiscguy 63,439]

TOP 3:

1. White Dress

2. Chemtrails Over the Country Club

3. Wild at Heart

 

Spoiler

I think White Dress is one of Lana most powerful openers and overall one of her best songs. It's simply marvelous.

 

Chemtrails is one of her best title tracks as well, just gorgeous. The production, while simple, is just stunning.

 

Wild at Heart is really just a wonderful song. I love every aspect of it. I wish it was longer tho, lol...

 

Great:

4. Not All Those Who Wander

5. Yosemite

6. Tulsa Jesus Freak 

 

Spoiler

Wanderlust is beautiful. If the instruments were louder or at least a tiny bit different, it would be one of my favorite released songs ever.

 

Yosemite and Tulsa are great too, but kind of forgettable? I must admit, to me, those two tracks aged a little. Perhaps because there was too much hype for them, and they were simply great, not outstanding.

 

Good:

7. Let Me Love You Like a Woman 

8. Dark But Just a Game 

 

Spoiler

Let Me Love You gets so much hate, and I understand it because it's an overwhelming song but it's not bad. It's actually good. Or decent, at least.

 

Dark... it's good. Not my favorite, but not my less favorite either.

 

Okay:

9. Breaking Up Slowly

 

Spoiler

I only hated it because it took me by surprise. I think if this song sounded like the live version, it would be miles better. 

Nikki's songs are actually really great. I wonder if their collab album will have a similar production as hers...

 

Meh/Bad:

10. Dance Till We Die 

11. For Free

 

Spoiler

I don't understand why people like Dance Till We Die. I think it's horrendous. Yes, the vocals on the bridge are really good, but do them make it up for the rest being so lame? Absolutely not. 

 

For Free is good, but it should have kept in the covers album. A very weak closer, but again, most of her closers are with a few exceptions...
