i don't understand how people are listening to breaking up slowly and thinking nikki lane's voice is lana's, her voice is drastically different  

[rightofjupiter 15,901]

Little details I love: 

the harmonizing in the final “I’m not a star” towards the end of WAH

the way she pronounces word in Yosemite- do y’all know what I mean(ed)? It’s v precise and ASMR-ish

the drag of it all

[Lemonade Tea 322]

White dress is the best song on the album I knew it. She sounds so much more passionate on this track vs the others.

Reminds me of me pretending it's early / demos BTD Lana singing Stevie Nicks' parts in Beautiful People

yosemite is heavenly suddenly

The way I've been out for 2 hours, just wandering with this album in my ears. My mind 

[Terrence Loves Me 71,701]

yosemite is the bathroom break moment of the album along with BUS, then dance till we die starts

''Many of the songs on Chemtrails are about leaving L.A. and starting over in the suburbia of flyover-country, a reaction to Del Rey feeling burdened by the weight of fame. I know this because she literally says she’s “burdened by the weight of fame” in the song “Dance Till We Die.” As always, LDR is telling us exactly what’s on her mind. Maybe it’s time to take those words at face value.'' 

Such a troll get a life

I think an A- which is a 91

 

they gave COCC a B+ which is an 83

this album had a lot of potential but it ended up being underwhelming after the first 5 tracks, i mean, they're not bad bad songs but honestly? i'm tired of hearing the old same sad song formula. it's not even about the fact that they're slow or quiet,, they just feel like a bunch of demos waiting to be produced. we know lana is capable of so much more, so why is she releasing the same song over and over? ugh.

[peachlipgloss 3,089]

i guess.....i understand people thinking that this album is “boring” or “stuff we have seen before” but i just have to disagree. she’s going back to her roots and it’s an album for the fans

I would not go that far, but I also feel like the second part of it could have used some more diversity in sound. Everything from NAWWAL on is a bit stale

[peachlipgloss 3,089]

i also feel like the criticism for this album is happening really quickly! NFR was also a grower and it has some of her best bodies of work. i think cocc is going to grow on a lot of people who don’t love it right away 

[Jared 3,128]

“Dark but Just a Game” sounds like a beguiling combination of ’90s Fiona Apple and Beatles piano-pop over a light beat.''

Hmm, they're not that far off.

and?... the album could've been a little bit more intriguing while still being a throwback to her roots and an album for the fans.

yes, that's what i'm talking about. the album is obviously not bad, just nothing new or too much exciting. could've been better. i still enjoy the first tracks a lot though
