its pretty unfair to compare normies & chemtrials streams

 

nfr had 4 singles released, all of them wayyy before the record dropped, so of course its gonna do better in streams

That doesn’t mean much tbh. Nfr did 46 k in streaming, Chemtrails is looking to do 10k. It’s a pretty steep decline.

This isn’t counting prior streams. Norman did 74m first week spotify. Chem is gonna do 35-40m.

I definitely think 81 is a better score. NFR is significantly better to me. To me, NFR is absolutely no skips and pretty much a perfect album. Venice Bitch, Happiness is a Butterfly, and Bartender each, on their own, blow away anything on Chemtrails except maybe Tulsa Jesus Freak and Breaking Up Slowly for me. 

 

Even though I enjoy the melodies and harmonies, Not All Who Wander Are Lost is the most uninspired I've seen Lana in her lyrics. I also enjoy Wild at Heart, but the fact that she basically reused the production of How to Disappear also ruined it a bit for me.

 

Even though Chemtrails has grown on me, I'm having a really hard time connecting with it - which is a problem I've never had with any Lana album. Even Sirens, I connect more with, so it's not even like I can theorize that it might just be the stripped down production not doing it for me. I recognize objectively that COTCC is good, mature, and more refined then a good amount of her past work, but something about it just isn't clicking.

 

Lana's music has always felt custom made for me, but COTCC felt like when I listened to folklore and I was like "I can see why people like this, and I might like a bit of it, but this just isn't really my thing. Objectively, it's good, but it's not for me." I've NEVER felt that way about Lana's albums and it's lowkey driving me a bit mad that I feel this way about Chemtrails.

I really felt that part where you said that you're struggling with connecting with the album cus that's exactly what happens to me.

You can chill a bit. I feel like every time I read something negative on here I look and see your username. 

 

In the meantime, I'll join in - The incels at Sputnik wrote another, yes *another*, 1.5 review for Chemtrails! They're officially obsessed.

Luckily this one doesn't count toward Metacritic (even though they need to be removed entirely). But imagine being that bored.

Anyway, 

 

Imagine a video of TJF and them going back to Ar-Kansas

I know what you mean. I like Chemtrails, but it's not my favorite album, and I don't think it's her best.

It's the tracks that ARE amazing that stand out tho. Do they make up for it? No, because in my opinion there's not enough.

I'm not sure where I'd rate Chemtrails with her other albums rn, but it's okay not to LOVE it, don't feel bad!!!

Honeymoon is still my fav album and always will be and it's from 2015. 

NFR is second though, I agree with the no skips part I just also feel that way about Honeymoon.

Honeymoon and NFR both hit home HARD for me :(((( I can't explain, but they're the only two albums that make me feel some type of way.

Still love her others obviously.

Honeymoon and Norman are my faves too??

[Nobody 21,511]

Norman had Doin' Time which got decent airplay, makes sense it did better in streams

HONEYMOON AND NORMAN SUPREMACY

 

(chemtrails might be my third fave of hers, idk im still sitting with it)

[wildheart 904]

speaking of Norman, I wasn't on Lanaboards when that one came out.

 

Could someone tell me whether Chemtrails has been received better by the fans than NFR! or worse or about the same? I know both albums have critical praise but I'm interested in the fan reception.

Spoiler

he gave it a pretty decent score - with how much he loved NFR I think the 7 was well deserved

i think OFF lanaboards the fan reception was extremely positive for NFR, on lanaboards less so i'm pretty sure. idk about chemtrails but i think ?? the fan reception off of lb is slightly less positive than it was for NFR

 

but i'm not the best source i don't go on twitter or anything a lot so i'm not sure

Are there any other publications we are expecting to post reviews & have it count towards Metacritic?
