Its the anniversary of Question for The Culture …  our very own 9/11 in some ways… the mesh mask/book signing getting k worded… sean larkin…. wreckless driving… WHATTTTT an era.

 

 

Although i will say, growing up is realizing  she wasn’t wrong necessarily, just used bad examples!  but i digress!

Still wondering to this day what happened so she had to write about it out of the blue… I don’t remember anyone writing that she was « problematic » prior to QFTC…

NEVER FORGET.

These two years feel like an eternity, so many things have changed. I think Lana would have done better to turn the whole thing into a song or album right away, which she may still be doing.

QFTC is a taboo topic at this point…Let’s not talk about it every again 

[honey dew 4,283]

what I loved about QFTC was how she just said everyone's names in the opening sentence like there was no vagueness

[bigspender 6,308]

she was right 

 

she faced a lot of criticism for doing what a lot of MPGs are doing today with not nearly as much bad press 

[Super Movie 34,988]

Best part of the QFTC era was her randomly posting those stills from old movies and that gif from Tropico (+ the release of Violet)  But also that means two years since the September 5th announcement

I'm having an out of body experience listening to White Dress. Crying in the office, thinking about a past I never had.

 

It's been a while (months) since I listened to it, so it feels like the first time again

White Dress aged so well... I loved it when I first heard it (even though the vocals threw me off a bit) but it gets even better with each listen 

[Thunder 30,909]

Chemtrails is the most relaxing album of all time I fear. I was so productive listening to it

[Hydroponic Weeds 28,507]

Okay I love Chemtrails, but TJF feels unfinished and like it needed to be extended.

 unpopular opinion but I really dont like tjf. It's such a disjoint from the rest of the album and the autotune is  the instrumental seems a bit wacky

I love the autotune, it’s kinda cute. But i just wish the song was longer and it didn’t just start out with YOUSHOULDSTAYTHATCLOSETOJESUS like pipe down queen, you didn’t need to come for us right off the bat, ease me into it. And then too i like the outro but i wanna be able to hear what’s being said better ugh. Plus the structure of the song is kinda weird. You have chorus, verse, chorus, post chorus, verse, then chorus, post chorus, outro.

I completely agree TJF had so much more potential

I didn't care for this song once we got it because she gave us a snippet way too early for it to be much of anything new but maybe this would have helped

[Ultra Violet 13,988]

I had completely forgotten about how amazing and witchy the outro of COTCC is in the music video. 

Why does she keep robbing us like this. 

[The Stargirl Pinky 37,013]

Lmao I was just listening to COTCC and I was about to ask if a new version of the song was uploaded because it sounded more roomy and crisp but I guess I accidentally enabled Spatial Audio and I’ll never be the same 

[GeminiLanaFan 31,020]

I had never made the association, but if you put side by side the alt cover for NFR and the standard COCC one, it makes the COCC one look cuter. 

[Venice Peach 23,775]

Chemtrails (title track) is such a weird song in the best way possible. There's something about it that makes it so different from anything she has ever released but I can't notice what it is 

[Urbanney 2,207]

My updated ranking that no one asked for:

1. Tulsa Jesus Freak
2. Chemtrails Over the Country Club
3. Breaking Up Slowly
4. Yosemite
5. Not All Who Wander Are Lost
6. Dark But Just a Game
7. White Dress
8. Let Me Love You Like a Woman
9. Wild at Heart
10. Dance Till We Die
11. For Free

 It’s very rare that I don’t skip my numbers 8-11 (bottom 4 songs). That being said, the album has grown on me a lot since it was first released, unlike Blue Banisters where I liked it more at first and less over time.
