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

[lover 2,208]

i just knew that listening to this album for the first time with my bf (ex since yesterday) would be a mistake 

i really like the album itself though, it seems already to be somewhat timeless even if only a short period of time has passed so idk if it's safe to say yet. but kinda like honeymoon, i think that almost all of the songs just flow together so nicely that i see myself listening to the album in full years from now instead of just blasting my faves

5/5 if wayamaya counts

I LOVE the COTCC cover 

 

[BluebirdXO 7,679]

 

 

You're in the wind, I'm in the water
Nobody's son, nobody's daughter
Watching the chemtrails over the country club
Suburbia, Barbara Road Market
What to do next? Baby, we'll love it

 

 

 

Those are literally my favorite lyrics from the whole album. It's like having my soul transported to another place

COCC is dead 

[Trash Magic 28,452]

Not All Who Wander Are Lost has become probably Lana’s most special song to me. So comforting and affirming seriously the softest and prettiest she has ever sounded.

Do you guys think Chemtrails should’ve been called White Hot Forever instead? Or is Chemtrails better? Or Something else?

Chemtrails fits better with the whole sound and imagery.

Chemtrails fits better

 

And White Hot Forever would be such a controversial title after QFTC

I think the title fits super well but I also feel like it’s a little long..all her titles (except NFR) all have like 3 or 4 syllables, but Chemtrails is a super long (for her) title

I think Wild at Heart wouldve been an amazing album title. Not sure that WAH is a great title track or even if the album matches that title (I don’t really think COCC did either though) but I’d love that as an album title.

I also agree WAH would be a slightly better title since she mentions being wild on more than one song..I think the biggest problem with COTCC is (and she said this herself) it wasn’t fully idealized. It’s personally one of my top albums from her, but it breaks off into so many different directions but there isn’t really a core theme other than it being beautiful music

Agreed!!!

I mean I can see that it was about leaving LA and visiting middle America in some ways, but what does that have to do with “Chemtrails over the Country Club” per se lol. I think WAH would’ve fit that moreso. I mean COTCC is still a great album title but like you (and she) said, not fully realized. 

[DCooper 37,156]

I actually think Chemtrails over the Country Club is an amazing title, and the album very much has a central theme throughout. It's about her growing resentment of fame and her desire to return to a simpler life. The title represents that unsettling unease that hangs over her everyday life and I think this theme is present on the majority of the tracks, sometimes explicitly and sometimes subtly.

Hey, guys! 

 

I finally finished my COTCC t-shirt and wanted to share with y'all! I tie-dyed a white t-shirt, then fully hand painted it with fabric ink. I might say the logo was painful to paint tho... Those serifs took away my will to live   lol. But everything turned out fine in the end. Hope you like it and give this anxious gal some love, this pandemic is far from over where I live and I'm melting down inside my room every single day. Thank god for Lana, amen.

What do you guys think of Chemtrails now? It has been released for a few months already and I reckon most of you have formed an overall opinion of it.

I'd say that I really really enjoyed listening to it once it came out, had the entire album on repeat for around two weeks in a row, but then I stopped listening to it. Now it seems to me that it's kind of like a mood album, which I can only listen to once I'm in that specific mood. Currently, I haven't listened to it for quite some time, which is kind of upsetting

I have the title track on repeat, but only listened to the album 4 times. You certainly need to be in a certain mood to enjoy it

I really liked this album for 2 weeks when it was dropped, listening on repeat, but now I don't back too much. I still often listen TJF, title track, Dark, Yosemite and LMLYLAW, but that's it now. It's like you said- moody album you can only listen in specific mood.
