There is no version with this length. It was a mistake.

Spoiler

There is a version that is 3:36 and a version that is 3:54.

There’s so much to unpack from this album. I’m 5 listens in and i’m still absorbing it all. I have some frustrations with it, but so much of the production is sublime. I’m curious to see how this goes down with critics. [/spoilers]

Does anyone else prefer the leaked version of Dealer? Miles' voice sounds much better pitched. I also prefer the lo-fi sound.

My thoughts and prayers are with patty right

Whoever did a CD rip, did it wrong. For some reason most of the tracks were fucked in the process lol for example, Text Book was 23 mins

I have no idea

Apparently, the longer version has strings. Some say it could be fake, but I don't think so. It sounds too professional and I doubt someone could have made it so soon... 

 

I think it might be an early version, like happened with some tracks on Norman?

whoa this was attached to the longer Beautiful... did I miss that we had seen the full frame image and not just the closeup crop?? It fits the mood of the album so beautifully

Yeah some songs get corrupted, especially on Macs. If you listen to the whole song while watching the timeline, it still stops at 3:36

It's an annoying iTunes/Apple/Mac thing, but it happens a lot

[Crimson and Clover 22,505]

 

if anything, I really think critics will LOVE sweet Caroline. Lots of lyricism in it, piano is absolutely gorgeous, and both new and old Lana-isms (blue blue blue, random technology references, etc) gets extra points for being produced by her family members as well

okay so i'm high but i can tell this album will age so well, it's really beautiful despite not having a lot of "OH SHIT" moments. already think it will surpass COCC in my album ranking but we will see.

 

initial song ranking

15. interlude - the trio - i don't really listen to instrumental songs and it seems kind of out of place even though it is enjoyable.

14. wildflower wildfire - y'all are going to come for my neck but i just don't care for this song! i wish i did

13. beautiful - great gowns ballads, beautiful gowns ballads

12. cherry blossom - ^^

11. living legend - other than the wah wah wahs this song is mid-tier lana IMO, not very exciting lyrically

10. if you lie down with me - i know this song will grow on me, i just do... giving me paradise vibes with the vocals/lyrics

9. arcadia - beautiful song but i'm just more excited about the newer songs

8. text book - ^^ (love this as an opening track - sorry for doubting you lanz)

7. nectar of the gods - one of my fav unreleased. disappointed that she didn't add more to the song, but still a classic.

6. blue banisters - this track and sweet carolina feel so deeply personal, i kind of love the inside jokes/references about her friends and family it's cute 

5. dealer - i can see the audio of lana yelling going viral on tik tok. this track is iconic wbk

4. violets for roses - soooooo good. so gorgeous, i love this song it feels like a summer breeze (just like the lyrics!)

3. sweet carolina - (see blue banisters above...)

2. thunder - this is how you do a rework!! so much better than the original, this is a smash

1. black bathing suit - giving me west coast meets cherry meets??? i can't even describe, it's a wild one. definitely the biggest moment on the album.

 

i'm thinking...

NFR > UV > BTD > BB > COCC > HM > AKA > LFL ??

rob and chuck on sweet carolina

[Poor Stacy 11,996]

Dealer is honestly one of my favorites here. It’s so deliciously chill and unhinged at the same time. It fits perfectly on this album.
