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

I want her to do a video with tigers again and I feel like Dark But Just A Game would be such a good video to have tigers in it. I have a vision.

The record's grown on me and I ordered the nice cover one on Fnac. Breaking Up Slowly and For Free are the worst tracks she's ever released though bc of the collabs

I think this was in the observer behalf so it’s a separate rating.

sorry i keep gushing about this album but i really wasn't expecting to love it so much.

 

god there is so much beautiful softness and sensuality on this record. it feels like the perfect album for a rainy morning, or a sleepless night, or a cool desert afternoon. it sort of feels like she's moving in a different direction here than she was with her past 6 albums. norman felt like the culmination of everything she'd been trying to perfect since AKA. this feels different. where those albums all felt like she was journaling and perfecting her writing game, this album feels like she's more focused on musicality, melody, vocals, and sonics. even though i would describe this as her most skeletal album yet when it comes to the instrumentals, the softness of it all is what sets it apart. while honeymoon is soft, too, it was still backed by huge orchestras and light slowed trap beats. this album goes all the way soft, with mostly just guitars pianos, and live drums (with few exceptions), and i think that's what makes it work for me. i also finally feel like there's no longer a desire for me to compare her works with one another; they're all so different.

"In the middle is perhaps this great album’s greatest segment. A minor-key folk song that doesn’t bother trying to be anything but, Yosemite dates back to sessions for Del Rey’s 2017 album, Lust for Life, but embodies this album’s concern with craft. “We did it for fun, we did it for free,” she sings of her work, in one of Del Rey’s best vocals to date."

Y’all so I’m scared the album is gonna tank and flop I have 10 copies of chemtrails coming in the mail who’s doing it like me I gave her 10 sales... that being said the album according to some Stan account chemtrails alone is gonna debut with 20k in streaming alone who knows pure sales... let’s hope the preorders helped as well as all the exclusive vinyls. What are your predictions?

I was really thrown off at first when I heard Wild at Heart, cuz the htd instrumentals caught me by surprise and took my out for a second. But now, after listening so many times, when she basically becomes a chorus with herself... ugh masterpiece.

edit: i also cant deal with randos who just don’t get White Dress :/ something not clicking... SOTY in my opinion

 

I think WAH is a throwback to the BTD/P era. If it had been written and released then, the production would no doubt be somewhat different, but the essence would be very similar. I love it--I've always liked her lighter 'fun' songs like 'Radio' as well as the gloomier tracks like 'Old Money,' '13 Beaches' and 'The Greatest.' I've been waiting for WAH for a long time without knowing it.

I think she will get between 70-90k overall sales

The way LFL is truly THE magnum opus, fuck Honeymoon.

well my gf (not a lana stan but not a hater either) officially likes NFR more than COCC lol.

 

i'm still peeling back layers and layers of the album– even thought i've been listening for 10 days already there's so MUCH here to notice, love, and feel. i can tell that one thing the album will share in common with NFR– and all her albums tbh– is that time and repeated listens really pay off to deepen the album experience. and of course love discussing it all w y'all <3

I don't really like LFL tho :3

[Vertimus 8,921]

Did Reckless Daughter chime in yet? I don't see anything. 

[That Venice Bitch 23,753]

Across all 8 of Lana's albums on Metacritic, she has been given 100/100 only 9 times, out of 190 reviews.

Chemtrails has 4 of them. For now.
