As he should!

it sounds like she took a poem and tried to make it into a song theres no rythm or melody. I mean the lyrics r great but

ngl that‘s what I thought too. But after some more time they grew on me and now I adore them. It‘s totally ok not to like them though since they are so... unique and raw. Even hope is a dangerous thing was more accessible.

imagine being this awesome woman, but not being able to share urself as an equal w someone bc the culture's just not it a tragic irony wtf

Yes!!! You hit the nail on the head!!  I think Lana is always a few steps ahead than most people think. To me, these artworks serve as a self-parody in response to people mocking her previous covers, but the added “bruises” and overall roughness of the covers perfectly portray the emotions and confessions of the songs. SO GOOD

im so glad its not just me who thinks so... im no longer a candle in the wind!!

I totally understand you and I think you're right but also they're just ugly af lmao. I will never excuse these fonts

 

oh dont get me wrong, they're still hideous 

[violets 11,896]

i REALLY like text book, its been on repeat. but the other tracks are giving me nothing. IM SORRY! i need to be honest. im open to them growing on me. but they sound unfinished. and those drums at the end of wildflower.. uh.

 

similar to what @Lustformoney said, the lyrical content would be better in poetry imo. it feels off.

So she released COTCC to heal us, only to fucking obliterate us with the next album.

ladies, theydies and gents.... its about to get real dark 

[whitelungswhitepalms 10,090]

I fucking loooooove bbanisters, the ending wwoowowowoow the lines the way she sings Oklahoma 

all the songs have a different vibe but they work so well together 

[NikoGo 60,797]

I can clearly hear Zach's production in multiple aspects of Text Book. It was my least favorite on initial listen,  but I think it's my number one. It feels like the true successor to UV's anger. The instrumental, the ocean sound, and I love the "Brentwood" callback to Chemtrail's title track (The Brentwood Market)

 

Blue Banisters was the one I was least excited for, but the full song completely took me by surprise. It feels like a poem/whole story. I feel it'll fit alongside BTIG very well!

 

Wildflower Wildfire feels like she's singing at us and her lover. It's super revealing. The vocals are like we've NEVER heard before (on released or unreleased) I like the 'cracking' sound of the song, it makes it feel super rough around the edges which fit the emotion of the song. Another UV callback, "How cruel the world is"

 

I can't wait to absorb these songs even longer, and hopefully we'll get the album sooner than later, this album is going to be top tier, I can feel it.

[Furor Poeticus 16,351]

I've realised that non-linear compositions really suit her

[littleredpartydress 49,871]

i actually think blue banisters is the best of the three after listening for a bit

[COCC 29,554]

Now imagine all the tears she cried while recording these songs

Her career is on the right track. What a beautiful day.

darla girl it’s you again isn’t it ?? 

[Thunder Revenant 20,943]

The cover is a joke, but whatever.

 

The songs are all GREAT, they are superior to half of CoCC - and I'm pretty sure I don't just feel like that because they are new.

I can't decide whether I prefer Text Book or Wilflower Wildfire. TB ha those intriguiging verses, while WFWFs mood and those low register vocals are just perfect.

Blue Banisters is a pretty song and I like the message but it's a bit too similar to CoCC-era songs for me to instantly love it (although it already outshines most of the COCC tracks).

 

Although all of them are stripped back balalds, they are so much more effective than everything on CoCC. Lana seems to be much less lethargic, there is more fire in her voice again.

CAN WE HAVE THESE IN HQ PLEASE?

Of course 

[evalionisameme 13,889]

I don’t think it’s fair for us to judge Pat tbf, we do not know the circumstances or how her upbringing affected what she thought was right for Lana- just enjoy the songs I guess.

[COCC 29,554]

The beginning of TB reminds my of Amy Winehouse 

 

I dont want any collabs anymore. The weeknd can keep his red jacket in the closet. I just want a whole record with songs like these three 

[finalsong 442]

No I'm </3 cos I think I only like textbook and I don't want that to be the case. Repeating all the songs to try and get a feel for them more. 

 

 

[fvck 2,223]

i’m still half asleep and these songs sure as hell aren’t going to wake me up.
