Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd - Pre-Release Thread: OUT March 24th, 2023

[Crimson and Clover 22,486]

I need to know BoZ's favorite songs in each album tbh 

[Jeanne Dielman 5,982]

A summary of the info and subjective takes of the insiders on the album's tracks:

 

01. The Grants (4:57)

Spoiler

 

BOZ: full and gorgeous - should be featured in the album trailer/should have been the album title

Kintsugi: weddings! funerals!

 

 

03. Sweet (3:35)

Spoiler

 

BOZ: probably the least significant song on the album, but still good - beautiful strings!

Kintsugi: the Love song of the album.

 

 

04. A&W (7:13)

Spoiler

 

BOZ: unprecedented sound for Lana and Jack and fucking wild song (apparently there's a mistake on the mockup; the title still is A&W). BOZ's second favourite song on the album. Lots of bass is featured on the track.

Kintsugi: we're not ready for this track - starts as an angry acoustic guitar song, ends with slutty trap beats.

 

 

05. Judah Smith Interlude (4:36)

Spoiler

 

BOZ: Lana whispering and giggling; the pastor is screaming; it has a very eerie and unsettling background music. He has warmed up to it. Apparently a "psychotic" track, lol.

Kintsugi: worst thing we'll hear in our lives.

 

 

06. Candy Necklace (5:14)

Spoiler

BOZ: A piano song with a rather complicated recording history.

 

07. Jon Batiste Interlude (3:33)

Spoiler

 

BOZ: Great instrumentation - prefers it to the Judah Smith Interlude. He prefers it to some other tracks, too.

Kintsugi: worst thing we'll hear in our lives (redux).

 

 

08. Kintsugi (6:18)

Spoiler

 

BOZ: Lana barely opening her lips + bare piano. A "snooze"/more of a "lullaby".

Kintsugi: best song ever (obviously his favourite track on the album given his nickname too). Allegedly the "magic moment" song that Antonoff mentioned in his New Yorker interview last year (automatic singing + sparse piano).

 

 

09. Fingertips (5:48)

Spoiler

BOZ: an automatic writing/singing stunner.

 

10. Paris, Texas (3:26)

Spoiler

BOZ: delicate songwriting and singing / features a sample of SYML's "I Wanted to Leave".

 

11. Grandfather please stand on the shoulders of my father while he's deep-sea fishing (4:00)

Spoiler

 

BOZ: His favourite song on the album. Very poetic with strong visual allegories.

Kintsugi: the song doesn't feel short at all; it's a phenomenal track. It features a RIOPY sample ("Flo"). 

 

 

12. Let the Light In (4:38)

Spoiler

BOZ: fantastic/stunning collaboration with Father John Misty who's been "Snowonthebeach'd" on the track. The best feature on the album.

 

13. Margaret (5:39)

Spoiler

 

BOZ: Initially he called it "bad", but admits that it's actually cute if we don't mind Jack's voice (when he enters the song). Still, it's his least favourite song on the album.

Kintsugi: It's a great song.

 

 

14. Fishtail (4:02)

Spoiler

Kintsugi: the Cinnamon Girl/Tulsa Jesus Freak track of the album. Apparently very vibe-y (it features the AK "Wanderlust" sample).

 

15. Peppers (4:08)

Spoiler

 

BOZ: Tommy Genesis isn't really a "feature" on this track.

Kintsugi: the Genesis sample is from 2015 (and apparently it's very minimal/not obvious, similar to most samples on the album).

 

 

16. Taco Truck x VB (5:53)

Spoiler

 

BOZ: has a Venice Bitch sample, incl. electric guitars (so the sample must be from the long outro of VB).

Kintsugi: Apparently a major track. A lot of us will die at this track. The outro is one for the books.

[lanasbottom 23,694]

Change being FASTER and more LIVELY than Cuntsugi ? how is that even physically possible is she snoring over one (1) piano chord for 6 minutes straight ? 

[Crimson and Clover 22,486]

BOZ:

 

Why are you suddenly focusing on which track is possibly the worst instead of hyping yourself for what could be best?  I'm not a big Lana fan for years now, I know what she's capable of so when something doesn't live up to her highs I'm not gonna force myself to enjoy it more. Actual Lana fans gonna automatically like everything more than me regardless of how it sounds. The fact I think this is top 3 in her discography should leave you no doubts how even greater it will be for you. Best thing to stop forming your opinions on songs based of random peoples comments at all. Wait, listen, decide.

Even he knows his opinion on Lana is questionable and people should decide for themselves

I don’t really understand wanting to know what BoZ, Eclipse, or Kintsugi think of the tracks because it’s a recipe for disappointment if they love the song and hype it up and you end up underwhelmed. Best to just wait for the album to come out. 

[ImenaOphelia 9,656]

Margaret is inspired by Jack's girlfriend Margaret Qualley
