The sigh of relief at the beginning makes me worried for The Grants 

it's just 3 minutes and 52 seconds of patty banging on the door trying to get in because she didn't get an invite and the sigh is because she finally gave up and went to get frozen yogurt

only 6/16 (incl. tunnel song) are explicit 

 

BUT i remember songs on COCC weren't marked as explicit and they very obviously were

gonna step into the delulu wading pool again for this -

i honestly feel like TOB (song) isn't necessarily a progression of sound nor anything new but it's the absolute zenith of the sound she curated on NFR, COCC & BB and it's the absolute best parts of all of those albums in a song - and it almost feels like an intentional prelude to the rest of the album afterward

which makes me even more interested to see what the grants will sound like

I’m bummed I missed out on the cassette   and also bummed that people can’t see that this song has a lot of differences to IFYLDWM and LMLYLAW. I liked those two songs, don’t get me wrong, but this one just feels different. The vocals, production and lyrics are all there. I hear some similarities but it’s for sure not the same

this spill she took the good parts and put them into one place

Closed? Not for long with this fan base…if they can break into her home this tunnel has no chance..

[star Iux 5,984]

This album is going to serve Valley of the Dolls I just know it

[ultrabanisters 45,983]

i think there was a clear shift in what she wanted to make once she made NFR, and the past two albums were her honing the sound of the shift she was making from the low-point of NFR, culminating in the best parts of each album (mostly blue banisters which i loved as a solid well sounding album anyway) being present

 

high high high hopes for this record

i love lana del rey lore 

[rabbit 5,274]

Can't believe I pre-ordered new Lana and Caroline this week :') Truly blessed.

DYK seems to grow on me with each listen, this is some of her best work yet. I'm still stunned at the way she evokes feelings and visuals through song.

I need American Whore like yesterday

This is such a beautiful metaphor. for the first few listens I though that by “when’s it going to be my turn?” she means “when will I finally be loved” but now I’m thinking that it’s a rhetorical question of desperation about her mortality and the inevitability of being forgotten and she’s trying to fight off these thoughts with “don’t forget me” . Like an internal battle

I’m sure the album will be great but yeah this song is a turd, if we didn’t get to hear this type of song before in different formats since the COCC era, I’d like it but you can only twist and spin the same shit a certain amount of times, until it becomes boring and redundant. Jack rly is sabotaging the most unique artist of this century by producing all this generic sounding music… i’ll let American Whore be my final judgement but this killed my hype a bit. I said what i said.

jack only contributed the guitars at the end, the whole orchestral arrangement was made by Drew

mind you i'm a seasoned jack hater but i think he might do a good job with this one. i think lana wants something more produced given the subject matter, and i think she's built on what NFR, COCC and BB gave us. i agree with the jack comments, but i think if you don't view the song from the jack hater lens, you will enjoy it alot more, i did 

 

besides, was this song even prod. by jack??? 

[tulsa 2,812]

i fear this record will not be appealing for BB haters
