I didn’t understand the place Nectar of the Gods on BB’s tracklist until last week: all the songs starting with WFWF are about motherhood, including that one. NOTG’s chorus could be sung from the perspective of the mother getting Wild on her daughter, raging at her like it’s said she does in WFWF, and the verses are about the « hole » it created in her daughter, feeling lost.

Taking the fact that Thunder/NotG/LL/CB are old songs out the picture, the track run from Thunder to Sweet Carolina is the best sequence of tracks in her career imo (I feel like I say this every time I come in here, but it's true. I also really love Dealer, but Thunder to Sweet Carolina is where I see it as a sequence)

It really does hit, I remember playing all those songs on vinyl and being like wow what a way to end this album

 

especially with sweet Carolina, I had to pause for a minute and regroup

Arcadia, BBS, IYLDWM and Thunder are all aging like fine, fucking wine.

NotG, LL and CB = unbothered 

[DeadSeaOfMercury 22,860]

The album, As is.

Masterpiece!

Happy birthday to the 3 surprise singles!

 

What a glorious day that was, I remember being so shocked that we were getting not one but three new songs so soon after Chemtrails was out, and then being completely blown away by the emotion and maturity of the tracks. All 3 are masterpieces and such gorgeous parts of this album.

[Fingertips 72,034]

This album is ageing like a fine wine. So goddamn beautiful

This album is so slow like it moves like a glacier. But I also think it's pretty gorgeous in a messy, very personal way. Lana is so intimate, it's like she tells you her darkest secrets but you still don't really know who she is.

 

Let's rewrite history, I'll do this dance with you...

 

There's a hole that's in my heart all my women try and heal
They're doin' a good job convincin' me that it's not real
It's heat lightning

 

I promise that nothing will burn you.

[Sadaurora 454]

Wait do ppl actually hate NotG 

 

I mean I don’t really care for its presence on the album bc it’s a random demo from 2013 on an album full of more fleshed out/recent recordings but as a song it is THAT Girl and deserves Respect

[Ultra Violet 18,850]

Tbh, this album was the most Lana album since Honeymoon. If this was the release after Honeymoon I'd have absolutely zero criticism about her music and it would have made perfect sense tbh. Realistically, it's stupid and pointless to imagine that, but like, IMAGINE THAT

[bluechemtrails 26,494]

I just realized that she dropped the three BB singles almost on the anniversary of QFTC. If that wasn't a big coincidence, then it must have been a response somehow.

Text book , WFWF , IYLDWM , BBS 

 

[Pico Ocean Boulevard 41,021]

My obsession with this album has still not ended it's aging so good for me 

 

Just wanna say again how amazing the new Thunder is it really became one of my favourite songs ever & it's along with Black Collapsing Suit my favourite song from the album 

[annedauphine 35,812]

I just had an out of body experience listening from 2:45 to 3:16 of Text Book... I literally levitated a few centimetres above my bed and beams of light came from my eyes, mouth, and fingers... Literally the reason I can't listen to this song often smh

[Brightsun 1,263]

i just have to say this is her worst album so farrr..

[bluechemtrails 26,494]

this album is a treasure chest that remains strangely closed for some people
