Am I the only one who doesn’t see this as a "proper" album but rather an EP with some unreleased/old songs stacked onto it?

It feels even less inspired than COTCC.

 

Anyway…my faves are probably:

Thunder, Text Book & Black Bathing Suit. The rest is somewhat forgettable imo.

 

i dont know abt that tho...

she said that the album would be about her past 18 months of her life since 2020-ish / pandemic times / QTFC era / etc.

Listen to it as her diary where her singing about random feelings tho, it makes a lot of sense.

I think they fixed Beautiful on Spotify? I was just listening to it and didn't hear that high pitched noise when her voice gets high. I checked with headphones too and didn't notice it. Gonna check Sweet Carolina cause it was bad on there last night.

Omg they did fix it  thank you thank you

Ok, strings of Thunder is just beautiful, Owen Pallett really did it!

NFR and BB are on their thrones as my favourite LDR records, and HM and COTCC are fighting for the third spot… I think it’s impossible for me to like an album more than NFR, because it’s literally my favourite album of all time, but BB is insanely good, I knew from the title track that the album was going to wreak me emotionally and I was right

first of all, TASTE

 

i felt the same when I found out Text Book was the opener, like Miss Elizabeth really said “I’m about to tell you all you fuckers my life story”

Up to 80 on Metacritic!

[Honeyyoung 17,096]

80 ON METACRITIC

[Terrence Loves Me 72,692]

i swear this is the first lana album that i don't wanna listen to half the time lmao

bbs, if u lie down w me and violets for roses are so boring i just cant get into them

 

its weird cus the three singles are some of the best of her career 

[Coney Island King 26,002]

Seems the album is getting fairly good reviews. Most of her albums are in the 70% range on Meta, so that is where it will most likely sit.

expecting a "shut up its my day" moment evolving into "fuck you Kevin" right in the middle of the street.

i can undersant IYLDWM and VFR, but BBS literally has her screaming and weird drums, how can it not be anything but boring?

[SweetHenny 14,579]

Does anyone else feel that the Nectar of The Gods kinda drags in the context of the album and it is probably the only song that may be left off the tracklist  

[Bird World 1,805]

I can't stop listening to Beautiful, I think at this moment it is my favorite song. It makes me feel... comfortably sad
