Has anyone listened to TNBAR & Yosemite together since they are sister tracks ? 

Yes! And you can definitely tell they’re sister tracks. They share small similarities, and they would’ve definitely fit in the same album 

[BluebirdXO 7,679]

The most surprising thing about this record is Lana not rhyming wild with child. I didn't saw that coming

[Rorman Nockwell 56,719]

BUS has really grown on me in the past 24 hours. At first, I found Nikki's voice quite jarring but I'm used to it now and I think the song has a really unique almost haunting quality

That is all. Actually that isn't all

DBJAG TJF and Yosemite holy trinity, though

I'm not really feeling Frock or Dance And Namedrop People but I think I need more time

Weyes Blood slander????????? 

Nope, I was talking about the way the instrumental ends. It sounds like something’s missing

Hi guys,

 

Happy album coming out day!

 

I was wondering which album do you prefer?

 

I chose Honeymoon for the comparison because it's the slowest and sits alongside Chemtrails as one of Lana's most languid/meditative records,

 

So which album is your favourite?

My answer: while I always appreciate an upbeat Lana track like High by the Beach, I'm going with Chemtrails. It's a shorter, more cohesive, and a more consistently good record.

 

Honeymoon's lows are really, really low (Freak, The Other Woman), while Chemtrails' lowest points are still listenable at least (For Free, Breaking up Slowly) as background music.

More importantly, nothing on HM blew my mind like White Dress did  except maybe The Blackest Day - but that song didn't have much staying power.

 

Don't get me wrong - I still love Honeymoon.

 

But Chemtrails - 7.5 (one big hit/upbeat song would have really made this come together more and land at 8.5, to join White Dress and Wild at Heart as the holy trinity) 

 

Honeymoon - 7 (without Freak and The Other Woman and a shorter running time, this would have been so much better)

 

Let me know your thoughts 

 

p.s this was supposed to be a new thread but ended up here ??‍♂️

The other woman isn’t on honeymoon, are you trolling

THE ZODIAC SIGNS AS COCC SONGS
 

Aries: Wild at Heart (passionate, adventurous, evades routine)

 

Taurus: Let Me Love You Like a Woman (serene, soft, ruled by Venus)

 

Gemini: Dance Till We Die (penchant for fun, duplicitous first 3/4 to last 1/4)

 

Cancer: Yosemite (sensitive - “burning at both ends,” nurturing, loyal)

 

Leo: Chemtrails Over the Country Club (warm and dynamic w/ an appreciation of the material meets celestial world)

 

Virgo: For Free (peace in nature or the natural state of the world, methodical, and traditional)

 

Libra: White Dress (aesthetic visions, equality-prone re: “men in music”, idealistic)

 

Scorpio: Tulsa Jesus Freak (sensual, bold + dark, slight sarcasm/kitsch)

 

Sagittarius: Not All Who Wander Are Lost (adventurous, spontaneous, optimistic)

 

Capricorn: Breaking Up Slowly (pragmatic, enduring, sense of responsibility to address the situation)

 

Aquarius: Dark But Just a Game (inventive, eccentric, free-spirited, wanting to avoid conforming to fame)

 

Pisces: White Dress (dreamy, devoted, reflective, hopeful)

Omg I got White Dress twice 

[Pico Ocean Boulevard 41,093]

Have we talked about about that Not All Who Wander Are Lost is called Wanderlust in the digital download version of the Vinyl?

Love  NAWWAL as a title bc it's a Tolkien quote but I think Wanderlust is such a beautiful   title as well   And imagine Wanderlust on the official tracklist

7.Wanderlust 

8.Yosemite 

Would have been so beautiful 

I'm glad that we got both titles even though one of the titles is only in the digital download version of the Vinyl

I think it goes more with Change, they even share the same melody 

[love deluxe 8,861]

had anyone brought any attention to the lyrical parallels between hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but i have it and white dress?

 

I've been tearing up town in my fucking white gown

When I was a waitress, wearing a white dress / Look how I do this, look how I got this

 

Serving up God in a burnt coffee pot for the triad

It made me feel, it made me feel like a God

 

I was reading Slim Aarons when I got to thinkin', that I thought

Sun stare, don't care with my head in my hands / Thinking of a simpler time

 

Maybe I'd get less stressed if I was tested less like all of these debutantes

Kind of makes me feel, like maybe I was better off

I’m ready for another day of streaming Yosemite for like eight hours.

[Venice Jesus Whore 4,471]

Tulsa Jesus Freak is a total gem. I love the experimentation with the autotune effect, all of the background vocals, and the buildup of "white hot forever."

Yeees  

The fact that it was created with the same guitar West Coast was created makes it ever more LEGENDARY

I finally finished reading all of the pages of this thread, started at 6:00pm and now it's almost 10:00pm  I don't regret it though, I loved reading everyone's thoughts and opinions sm 

This reminds me of that one user who joined LB mid-(post?) NFR and read through the entire pre-release thread

[love deluxe 8,861]

i can't stop listening to white dress. i think it's genuinely my favorite Lana song. I've never felt more personally connected to a song before. sure, its a very specific song lyrically. (particularly the orlando and men in music business conference lyrics) but it's so funny that she released it while I'm also 19, trying to find myself, living for the little moments where i feel invincible, no matter how sparse. ugh, I've been so sick these past few days and haven't gotten any better. this album has helped me bare through the pain, though. it's definitely not my favorite of her albums (norman, honeymoon, and ultra will always be my holy trinity) but it's definitely top 4. it's such a good springtime album.
