I think it's brilliant.  Not just the way the voices complement each other but the song itself. Lana chose to  do this song.  She sings the most personal part. She gets it in a way we can only imagine.

For Flop is my least favourite LDR song. HAB is better

How are you listening to it—what system are you using? And what format—MP3, CD, vinyl, 16 bit FLAC file? To my ears, the production (in full resolution) is absolutely incredible. I am absolutely loving the vinyl and the high-res digital version. Both sound amazing in different ways. Every single track fascinates me. I've invested quite a lot of money in my hi-fi system over the years. Mainly to get as close as possible to the artists (and producers) true vision.

Spotify

Now that I think about it I should probably give FLAC rips a proper listen!

When she says "now me, I play for fortunes" I know she felt that. I love they chose that one particular song too, I think it's very fitting for Lana's idiosyncrasy.

[Pico Ocean Boulevard 41,451]

I think I'm finally able to do a ranking:

 

Yosemite

White Dress 

Not All Who Wander Are Lost 

Dance Till We Die 

Tulsa Jesus Freak 

Chemtrails Over The Country Club 

Dark But Just A Game 

Wild At Heart 

Breaking Up Slowly 

Let Me Love You Like A Woman 

For Free 

 

I love all of them though and I feel bad to put some on the bottom. Such a good album 

[anwdelrey 9,272]

Thoughts:

This is a mood album like Honeymoon. It’ll be seen as another hidden gem in her discography.

LMLYLAW needed better vocals and production.

The “it wasn’t quite what I meaned” line irks me idk why. Still like the song.

Breaking Up Slowly is a good song but doesn’t feel like a Lana song

Tulsa Jesus Freak was a let down

 

[KingJay 3,018]

Wild At Heart is one of the best songs on the album

[KingJay 3,018]

The more I listen to White Dress, the more I love it. At first that forced whisper voice thing was really weird to me, but it makes sense now. idk

[Churchome Rep 3,383]

I wonder if Lana’s interpretation of For Free differs from Joni’s in any way and if featuring other voices was purely a stylistic choice. 

 

Lana singing the second verse (“velvet curtain calls”, “black limousine”) is the opposite of who she was in “White Dress” 

[venicebitch 14,553]

I adore this album. I don’t think it’s better than NFR but it’s still v good and just makes sense in her discography and I’m happy she’s released it. Can’t wait for her next move.

[cherryblossoms 10,433]

I’m glad we got Yosemite in the end but I feel like Dealer would’ve made much more sense in its place.

I feel like it would’ve added a bit more edge to the album and meshed better with the grittiness of BUS. Yosemite by contrast is a bit ‘too pretty’ for me and sounds out of place.

Also For Free being a closer is a choice but that abrupt ending with a nonexistent outro even moreso 

[Let the Light In 18,864]

I would love Dance Till We Die as an album closer and I feel like For Free adds nothing to the album. It is her album and her story. Surely, she had some thing in her mind but I cannot feel it.

Yes, with the best system possible. All of her albums sound incredible in high resolution with the right system. I've spent £10k on mine and I dont consider myself an audiophile. I feel bad as there's so much more to discover in the high-res format. And vinyl offers a different but equally exceptional experience. Wish I could let you listen to it on my system

Currently playing White Dress in FLAC and...

I think this album says what Lana wanted to say perfectly.

There's no feeling of artistic compromise like I felt with NFR, just an artist reflecting.

It's suchhhhh a breath of fresh air imo 

[rosemeadexclusivebbnewyorkcity 2,812]

Worth mentioning again that Weyes Blood sounds eerily like Joni Mitchell at the end of For Free. I think Lana is making a very conscious choice to sonically give the album back to the community of women that COTCC is dedicated to.

It literally keeps creeping up in my ranking and I fear it’ll end up number one at some point ITS SO GOOD
