Not really a fan of Jack's vocals either - American Whore is probably the Bleachers collaboration 

It makes sense if AW&J means American Whore & Jack...

What doesn't make sense is the acronym she chose

I've been thinking of Jack Donoghue and not Antonoff

How many interludes do we think we’ll get ? i’d say 2-3. Each interlude introducing a new "act" in the album would be great. Kinda like chromatica but actually good and not unlistenable garbage

i think it’s confirmed that there’s 2  but one is the pastor so lets hope the other one makes up for that

i think for the writing credits it says track 5 judah smith so i wonder how the transition between A&W and the pastor sermon will work 😭

I totally agree she has evolved and didn’t just make the song from BTD on all records.

I think the point some are making is that all her records had unique melodies and structures/themes - BTD sounds nothing like west coast, West coast sounds nothing like High to the Beach, Love sounds nothing like her prior songs although is a BTD tribute.

 

all of her leads post NFR are eeriely similar- I genuinely believe you can slot cottc on NFR without batting an eye and same with ocean. 
 

I do think Blue banisters is a bit of an exception and dont really group it in so much with NFR and COCC.

 

 

Uhhh I really don’t agree. NFR is very guitar and piano based, COCC is 100% folksy and BB is… BB. Ocean would fit in BB quite easily but it would stick out like a sore thumb in the other two albums.

the answer couldn’t be any clearer thanks y’all 

The pastor thing’s getting deleted and replaced with Religion the second this album comes out trust 

[blackpalmtrees 2,458]

Maybe that rapper girl will only be on a trap interlude like The Trio but with vocals now 

 

 hope not

Judah is Lana's pastor and we are unfortunately getting an interlude where somehow his sermon is sampled or used otherwise  Since Jack and Lana have also writing credit on it I assume it's not just a straight recording. Though since it comes directly after American Whore i'm a bit curious about it.

[West Coast 45,793]

I don't think Lana is feeling any pressure to ''outdo'' herself, I think she's just making the music she feels like doing/likes best.

"As her career goes Lana challenges herself as a songwriter more and that requires listener to adjust. Many of the new songs are gonna be very long, not bound to conventional structure, centered around lyricism, raw poetry. It takes letting go old Lana style to appreciate new one." - BoZ

 

VERY LONG SONGS? UNCONVENTIONAL STRUCTURES? 

 

Oh I WON and so many people on here are about to lose.

 

Many of the new songs are very long AND unconventional? 

 

   

 

Anyway, it's interesting that Lana only mentioned FJM singing with her on the album. I wonder if Batiste, Tommy, and The Bleachers only serve background vocals or perhaps they only have writing credits and she decided to give them the "feature" treatment (see SYML).
