When the big surprise Friday is a reworked version with Taylor Swift after she featured on one of her songs 

We still need a music video. Home mad, high budget, idc

[Delete NOW 2,326]

It’s going to be sad that this will be another middling album from her. Forgotten with low sales, no acclaim, zero attention from the Grammys.

 

It’s worse because she is trying it with these tracks length thinking that critics will eat it up because it’s anti-trends and anti TikTok. Now it’s getting middling reviews. The album being uncommercial as it is won’t be seeing good streams either.

One high budget sexy video for AW, Taco Truck or Peppers, please!

 

No piano ballads! I'm sure we're all tired of seeing a few million views on all her latest videos (Arcadia, Chemtrails, Blue Banisters, White Dress, Let Me Love You Like a Woman and Arcadia V2).

Spoiler

why do we think of an alternative version of candy necklace? where does this come from?

So what was that secret that a user couldnt tell us a few hours ago? Was it about cn?

Do you still think there's a different version?

[Topanga 1,384]

So the surprise was either scrapped or moved to a different time coz nothing that happened last week could’ve been that unbelievable event boz was talking about

OMG

But is Gigwise counted on Metacritic??

[honeymo0n 8,622]

i had a dream that lana released an ep to go with this album, it consisted of 5 unreleased songs (i think serial killer and say yes to heaven were on there) it seemed so realistic that when i logged onto LB today, i expected to see discussions about it on this thread, thank god it was just a dream

I’m so sorry for asking this bc I’ve asked it before and lost it LOL but can anyone give me the lyrics of fingertips again? Love you babes.

unfortunately not, haven't seen a review for bb or nfr on the site

[Poor Stacy 11,996]

added another person to my ignore list  

 

Candy Necklace (piano vinyl rip mix) on repeat 

[CinnamonGay 10,527]

And iirc NFR had the not so good reviews released before release as well...

 

Can't wait for the 90s and 100s from The LA Times, Popmatters, AV music club P4k

My mind has been blown the past like 10-15 pages of this thread because since when has an 8/10 been a bad review

Most albums get an 80 these day lol. Poptimism and the fact that her past two albums scored in the same range. COCC also getting multiple perfect scores. And we know the real quality of those albums.

 

NFR 87 on metacritic is really more like a 97 in todays music journalism.
