The lyricism is eating every other album in her discography. She’s on a whole new level.

 

I told y’all she’s entering the legendary realm of Tori, Fiona and Kate Bush. There’s no coming back from here 

OKAY!!!! 👏 but sonically, thoughts?

taco truck sounds amazing 😭😭💗

The TT snippet  

Spoiler

Is 30 seconds, low quality, and sounds like it’s being played INSIDE the tunnel under Ocean Blvd. How anyone can trash a 5 minute song based on a shitty 30 second clip is beyond me.

Like I told y’all yesterday, I mistakenly (but also willingly sat through) like, the first minute of Fingertips on Tik Tok and y’all. Please tell me this song only gets better throughout because it was sounding like a Hope-tier song.

Can someone that isn’t jaded by initial first listen hype with these leaks tell me if this album is actually shaping up to be good, ie on NFR’s level? I’m really hoping y’all. I need another GOOD album.

 

Because let’s be real, we all hyped up Blue Banisters during its first few months.

Spoiler

I personally think if u don’t like blue banisters u won’t like The Grants, Sweet, or Fingertips very much, those songs she uses her Arcadia vocals and the lyrics are a bit clunky in some parts in my opinion… however Taco Truck, Peppers, and Fishtail, Kintsugi, Paris, Texas all sound rly good imo. Grandfather is great it sounds a lot like mariners.

I just want to say how impressed I am that you guys are all using your spoiler tags.. I’m sad that I’m missing out but thank you for being considerate

The spiritual, complex, dense, refined older sister of NFR, based on what I’ve heard so far.

 

If NFR represents a whole day going from sunrise to a hot summer night, Tunnel is giving the opposite vibe: starting in a pitch dark cold summer night at the beach and going all the way to a hopeful dawn. Far more cohesive than I thought it would be.

 

Grandfather is going to gag everybody here. It’s one of her greatest accomplishments. The sax, those guitars clashing, the delicate piano, her vocal performance… it’s the sonic thesis of the album!

same this is the first era i am extremely excited since nfr 

Same, but not in the NFR way I'm not gonna lie either... I feel like nothing will top NFR for me ever, unless she makes a NFR 2.0

Spoiler

Lana in Taco Truck is referencing the movie Carlito's Way?

For what it’s worth I really don’t like BB and I absolutely love The Grants and really like Sweet. Fingertips will take more time, but it’s really interesting. 

 

[living legend 3,171]

damnnn i swear some of y’all just come on here and bad mouth lana’s art every chance you get

 

i understand having opinions but my gosh. can’t you just be appreciative that she’s still making music?! tf you here for if you’re just gonna be negative all the time 

[Lanaparadiserey 23,550]

Spoiler

I’m not judging Taco Truck because the snippets we have so far aren’t good quality 

 

[anwdelrey 9,270]

Are these alleged controversial lyrics 

Spoiler

satire-y or will critics just see it as her poking the bear?

We have rich jazzy ballads, trap songs and Experimental songs 

 

Yes it is not on nfr level, i would say it's more honeymoon level
