I’m seeing some people saying her vocals aren’t mixed well and she’s kind of hard to understand. I’ve thought the same, at least from hearing Fingertips and A&W. Do you think this is intentional or just a mistake/bad mixing?

I don't know about the other songs cause I didn't listen to the leaks yet but just based on A&W it's 100% intentional cause the vocals on the Jimmy part are way clearer than in the first part and it's the same song with the same producers and engineers

I like how even Lana herself was like "yeah you guys won't like the Venice Bitch bit". Her soothsayer & self-awareness era.

Don’t know you guys, but for me this is hands down one of her best records to date.

It has everything we want since Norman… it has bops to shake our asses down at the club, it has reflexive songs, it has songs to cry in fetal position, it is a bit of everything she released before and more. Definitely one of the greatest records of the decade and one for the books.

She needs to be nominated for AOTY at the Grammy’s. Also I’m pretty this will get general praise and acclaim. Can’t wait for a 98 on metacritic.

Thoughts on each track:

  Reveal hidden contents

The Grants: Stunning opener. Loooove the gospel singers' contribution to this song. They bring this song to life. To all Apple Music users, I highly recommend the Dolby Atmos mix.

Tunnel: A very important song for this album lyrically. A central piece. Sonically it isn't as exciting to me but I do really like it.

Sweet: Cute! At the bottom of my ranking but it's cute! 

A&W: Song of the year. One of my fav LDR songs. Gorgeous, stunning, world changing, earth shattering, etc etc. What more can I say. One of her best.

Judah Smith Interlude: SKIP!

Jon Batiste Interlude: I actually really love this interlude. It's pretty long for an interlude but does not feel that way. I can't wait to listen to this following Candy Necklace.

Kintsugi: Gorgeous song, but I wish it sounded less muffled. 

Fingertips: This song left me in shambles. I've never had a Lana song hit me as hard as this one. There's something very special about this song. One of my favs off the album. Beautiful song.

Paris, Texas: This song is so simple but effective. It feels like a transition song instead of a full moment, and I absolutely love it for it. It does exactly what it needs to do. It sounds like it belongs in an oscar nominated movie about scandinavian homosexuals living by a lake or whatever. 

Grandfather: Absolutely showstopping. The way this song builds up and explodes... Wow. 

Let The Light In: This feels so different for Lana. This song gives such a nostalgic feel. FJM and Lana sound so good together. This song sounds like it should win a grammy, like, it's giving grammy winning song. Amazing production too. Drew Erickson we like you! Obsessed with the part where she mimics the melody of Love Song.

Margaret: I don't get the hate for this song, it's one of my favs tbh bshdfb. It's such a sweet song. It's kinda giving Taylor but in a good way. I also don't mind Jack's voice on this song. He sounds kinda good tbh! I love the callback to Paris, Texas with the "when you know you know" lyric in the chorus. Love the spoken bits too, gives the song character.

Fishtail: But wow what a moment... The Cinnamon Girl / TJF of the album. Need I say more? This song will be on heavy rotation for me.

Peppers: Obsessed with this song it's so fun omg. I wish the Tommy Genesis sample was louder and more prominent but whatever this song's So iconic it's probs gonna be one of my most replayed songs off the album. WIPEOUT! She ate.

Taco Truck x VB: She's kinda crazy for this. "Signing off bang bang kiss kiss" was destined to be an album closing lyric, it feels very correct. I wish the first part was a full song it sounds SO good but I'm absolutely obsessed with this version of Venice Bitch they put in there. One of my fav songs getting new life on this album. I love a tacky beat idc idc! And Jack Antonoff does tacky beats well (HTD one of my fav NFR songs).

Ok am I going insane or is the melody at 1:25 of Fishtails with the Ella Fitzgerald line the same exact melody and vocalization as Karma… by Taylor Swift?
