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)

When will they be added? Some people are saying they won’t be

i wish TJF was like 2 minutes longer 

[Anthony 3,342]

After listening to the album again on Spotify:

 

White Dress: 7/10 - There's something about this song that bothers me, but I still haven't figured out what it is.

Chemtrails: 9/10 - I really like the lyrics to that song.

TJF: 10/10 - I'm close to Jesus, with a bottle in my hand, singing the biblical hymn since last week. 

LMLYLAW: 6/10 - I easily forget that song. But it really fits the record well.

Wild At Heart: 8/10 - I like her vocals on this song and the connection with HTD.

DBJAG: 10/10 - I like how different this song is.

NAWWAL: 8/10 - I like her vocals. It is a song that brings a certain peace when listening.

Yosemite: 6/10 - I haven't been waiting for that song and I wasn't surprised.

BUS: 2/10 - It wouldn't be missed for me.

DTWD: 6/10 - The bridge is great.

For Free: 7/10 - A loss for me because I was really looking forward to listen to this cover, based on the live performances. But the album version did nothing for me.

 

It's a great album, overall.  But I’ve only listen 5 songs often: TJF, DBJAG, Chemtrails, Wild At Heart e NAWWAL.

 

Ultraviolence > NFR! > Honeymoon > Chemtrails > BTD/Paradise > LFL

ngl i believe her next album is gonna come sooner rather than later

 

i feel like lana has been very anxious about the reception of the album, ever since she announced it. hasnt she said at some point that NFR has been so very acclaimed so she feels pressured for COCC to be as well? then we hear her say how shes not satisfied with the record but she's still pulling an MC score of over 80 (for now at least)

 

so now that the pressure has lifted i hope shes inspired again

I may get dragged for this but I low key feel like DTWD could have been a good ending point for the record. 

 

I love Zella, Lana, and Weyes but For Free just doesn't add anything for me.

 

I'll take more time to sit with it and it will probably hit one day but currently I revert back to WD after DTWD ends lol.

spill. Bus is out too. It shouldve been 9 tracks or 10 with dealer

Yosemite is definitely a happy song, of course it has a dark production but that's Ms. Del Rey's signature.

Spoiler

I have no one either but a girl can dream

Completely agree I feel like we should’ve ended with just Lana seeing as it started so personal with white dress I feel it should end in that way too but I still love the album

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

some parts of white dress sound exactly like that

For Free literally sums up the theme of the whole album. Its great ending

[Furor Poeticus 15,540]

I wonder what F*ntano will think about it

[honeybadger 40,620]

LIKE IF YOU HEARD I WAS OUT IN THE BARS DRINKING JACK AND COKE GOING CRAZY FOR ANYONE WHO WOULD LISTEN TO MY STORIES BABE 

[Thunder Revenant 20,654]

My problem with For Free is that it was not really executed very nicely.

They are not "harmonizing" together - they just suddendly shout. Like - one of them sings the verse and then out of nothing the other two appear and overdramatically yell "for frREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEE" and then disappear again.

[Trash Magic 26,760]

The album really sounds like it is from another era

So stately and graceful 

 

Who else is doing it like her? True artistry no one else is coming close

I don't think it's a strong closer, and just I think the last lines sung in her album should really have been sung at least in part by her. It's a good track but should have been higher up on the list.

[honeybadger 40,620]

there's so many little instrumental connections with NFR and i love it they're like fraternal twins

I agree. It's too loose an arrangement. It doesn't add anything to a wonderful but very modest song about humility.

ya I sorta agree. They harmonized way better in some of the live performances

[Furor Poeticus 15,540]

I love the album but come to think of it, I wish Dealer were on it or replacing For Free or BUS

I really wish DTWD would have finished the rest of the song with the same vibe/energy from the bridge. Gosh, that is a moment lol.

If the song had the same energy with the bridge it would totally be one of the best in the album . It was such a surprise when i first heard it and i really wanted the bridge to be longer
