with all this lytan talk, i’m thinking about how she contemplated putting dealer on chemtrails  

 

top tier song but oh wow that would’ve been so random of her it would’ve stuck out like a sore thumb 😭 

 

My unpopular opinion is that Dealer would have fit nicely after Breaking Up Slowly

I remember it! But i could have sworn it was an insider who posted it, not someone from her team.

 

even the reddit post says their friend works in the studio and found it

oh yes this is what i was thinking of! for some reason in my memory i thought it was written on a whiteboard actually in the studio while they were working on the album and jack posted it

oh yeah, definitely not someone from her team, but not really an insider either 

 

just someone who happened to come across it and wanted to share it i guess

Yes, I love it too. Though I do hope for no selfies this era. But I’ll be okay with it

Wild at heart is a pure bundle of joy. For every song she made that truly hits the epitome of sadness, angst and despair, Wild At Heart is the antithesis. It's youth, love and free will all wrapped up in a garland of roses. The feeling of sun on your skin and wind in your hair. Riding on the back of a pickup truck, arms stretched out to the horizons with a smile on your face. I don't think we EVER got a song where she sounds so fucking happy. She was on top of the world, and it radiates here. 

[blackestday x tough 5,331]

yosemite is her most spiritual song. in no other song she has reached such depth.

I don't even like this album but it's still a chemtrails type of day today. Thats how I know I'm a biological Lipster

I was just watching the Chemtrails music video and imagine if Neil was on set photographing Lana. Like we legit would have gotten her best album cover. The visuals were so damn good 

[Venice Jesus Whore 4,471]

I've warmed up to Chemtrails a lot since its release. I wish I could start fresh with the album with the expectations that I have for it now versus that I had when I went into it. I think anything coming after NFR was hard to live up to and to have reasonable expectations for.

The 1-2-3 punch of White Dress into Chemtrails into Tulsa Jesus Freak is one of her best three track runs, and I also think it contributed to the rest of the album falling flat for me at first, even though a lot of the rest of the songs are great too. Those first three songs just feel innovative, special, and next-level. Starting with those three songs and then ending with two very forgettable ballads made it feel like the album was on a descent in quality as I continued listening, even though it's mostly pretty good. White Dress through Breaking Up Slowly is a solid album. I think it should've just been those 9 tracks, maybe with it ending on Yosemite instead of Breaking Up Slowly.

I definitely have come to prefer Chemtrails over BB. I like that Chemtrails feels more focused, concise, and purposeful compared to BB. And while Chemtrails has grown on me, BB has aged poorly for me. I hope I come to appreciate BB as much as I've come to appreciate this album.
