Chemtrails Over the Country Club - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

Lmao I was just listening to COTCC and I was about to ask if a new version of the song was uploaded because it sounded more roomy and crisp but I guess I accidentally enabled Spatial Audio and I’ll never be the same

I'm just happy when I don't have to see a man sitting in bean dip again. The COCC rollout was... different.

the cotcc pre-release era was so iconic

[CinnamonGay 10,527]

 no way. COCC pre release was so stressful. Defending her for the album cover caption, the bbc interview which people misunderstood, qftc.

The fact that that photo made it into an official magazine release... it really looks like she just got run over by a car or she's from the walking dead cast 

[GeminiLanaFan 49,048]

I had never made the association, but if you put side by side the alt cover for NFR and the standard COCC one, it makes the COCC one look cuter. 

[Venice Peach 54,293]

Chemtrails (title track) is such a weird song in the best way possible. There's something about it that makes it so different from anything she has ever released but I can't notice what it is 

[Venice Jesus Whore 4,471]

My updated ranking that no one asked for:

1. Tulsa Jesus Freak
2. Chemtrails Over the Country Club
3. Breaking Up Slowly
4. Yosemite
5. Not All Who Wander Are Lost
6. Dark But Just a Game
7. White Dress
8. Let Me Love You Like a Woman
9. Wild at Heart
10. Dance Till We Die
11. For Free

 It’s very rare that I don’t skip my numbers 8-11 (bottom 4 songs). That being said, the album has grown on me a lot since it was first released, unlike Blue Banisters where I liked it more at first and less over time.

that said for free has been the only skip for me since release and it's stayed that way; an otherwise perfect album (this ranking was hard).

 

[clementines 9,893]

I can’t rank the record but it’s def one of her best, just the later half could’ve been better….sayyy maybe add Fine China and SYTH instead of BUS and FF.

 

(BUS and FF would’ve been sooo much better without the features)

 

[Pico Ocean Boulevard 41,094]

It's so hard for me to rank this album 

 

But this is my top 5 right now 

 

1. Yosemite 

2. Chemtrails Over The Country Club

3. Tulsa Jesus Freak 

4. White Dress 

5. Not All Who Wander Are Lost 

 

[The Stargirl Pinky 71,658]

I legit still can’t fucking believe we got Yosemite, we weren’t ready, we didn’t deserve 

[shadesofloveduthenandnow 20,610]

I’ve really started to appreciate this album more in the past month and a half or so. Most of the songs have grown on me at least to some extent, and others i would put as some of my post-LFL favorites

 

I want to talk about LMLYLAW in particular because I was so disappointed with it when it was released as a single . It really isn’t half bad as an album track; it was just a horrible lead single. Today with the volume pretty much on full blast I was able to really appreciate the instrumental and the harmonies of this song. The subtle guitars and the way the beat resembles a heartbeat (which I never noticed until today) really stuck out to me. The bridge is one of the best on the album. Its still not one of my favorites but I can see why she likes this one so much. I still kind of hate how the piano sounds like just chords on a loop tho.

 

Other notable mentions go to Wild at Heart, which I’ve always liked but have come to love and identify with to an extent, DBJAG, which again, I’ve always liked well enough but didn’t fully appreciate until the last month or so, and Tulsa Jesus Freak, which I thought was ok-to-good at first but is now one of my go-to songs with I want to listen to more recent Lana.

 

The title track, which tbh I kind of hated and couldn’t for the life of me understand the praise for at the time of release, I’ve come to enjoy some. I’m still not sure if I fully “get” it but it’s pleasant enough to listen to. I can listen to Breaking Up Slowly and DTWD without going for the skip button now as well.

 

The only song I still regularly skip (and left out of my resequenced/custom playlist for the album ) is For Free, which is a good enough song in and of itself, but I’d still say it’s her worst cover and a prime example of the bad mixing in the NFR/COCC era. This recording of this song is a mess.

 

Annie Waze sorry for the novel but it’s like 3 am and I can’t sleep and feel like rambling ab COCC love y’all xx

 

ALSO ranking just bc:

 

1. Yosemite
2. White Dress
3. Wild at Heart
4. Dark But Just a Game
5. Tulsa Jesus Freak
6. Let Me Love You Like a Woman
7.  Chemtrails Over the Country Club
8. Breaking Up Slowly
9. Not All Who Wander Are Lost
10. Dance Till We Die
11. For Flop

 

Spoiler

I didn’t talk ab White Dress and Yosemitesus bc I already loved them xx

Spoiler

Also as an aside I think Bartender would’ve fit better on COCC than NFR tbh. Put it between NAWWAL & BUS and move Yosemite between BUS & DTWD . It wouldn’t have been the first time she mentioned a song before leaving it off its intended album

 

I also included Dealer in my COCC playlist between LMLYLAW and WAH . It kind of sticks out bc it has Good Mixing and Fuller Sounding Production but it also fits kinda nicely there imo idk. It fits kinda nicely between DBJAG and NAWWAL/NAWWAL and BUS
