I think Living Legend is worse,  Nectar is tolerable but has repetitive cringy lyrics.

I mean, don't get me wrong. I think it's a cute song (melody/lyrically wise) but I hate the production (would have been better if it was either piano only or a rock song) and it definitely did NOT deserve a spot on the album when there were better songs that were considered such as Fine China, Wild One or even I Talk to Jesus

[Vertimus 9,547]

For me, IYLDWM is Lana’s sexiest and most sensual song. That she doesn’t overdo it makes it perfect.

If you are, then I am for not liking Cherry Blossom  (although I actually do love Nectar lol)

 

Edit: okay, I won't say I don't like it because I do, but I think it should've stayed unreleased. We didn't need it and I honestly have never gotten the full hype for that song

They all are beautiful songs, but could have used some more updated production, or at least more polished 

 

Like, I get they're supposed to feel and sound raw, but the rest of the album achieves that with richer and more interesting production

It's just so good I can't believe she's been holding onto it for all these years

Lol mine is actually pretty close to yours, with the exception of Sweet Carolina bc I skip a lot of songs, particularly Beautiful, Arcadia, VFR, & BB. I love NOTG & LL, I just have them on a different playlist.

beautiful i agree but sweet carolina is literally top 5

[bluechemtrails 26,521]

I feel lucky that I've got the right feelings for every song, even the ones that others don't like.

For example, I can empathize with what it's like to completely admire a person, as in Living Legend, to forget yourself and be weak and vulnerable.

Unlike some insiders i know that 

 

My taste is not reallity. Sweet Caroline is really her best closen track but its not for me 

Better then be desilusional and call dealer horrible

[drugmunny 8,879]

i think sweet carolina is a good song it's just a little samey. too specific to relate unless u have a pregnant sister named caroline w a shithead ex named kevin. still love it tho

[Dark Angel 201,260]

Long time lurker, first time poster:

 

WTF ARE YOU THINKING?

 

Anyway, this forum/thread is extremely hard to follow. It updates every 26sec, and most of y'all post waaaaaay too many visuals.

 

I think BB is the greatest LDR release. There, I said it. It's magnificent. It flows beautifully. I cannot find a skip-able song on it. It is my AOTY, hands-down.

 

It took me a while to "get" Chemtrails, but now I appreciate it's brilliant understatedness. 

 

Anyway, carry on.....
