This is from the Clash review. First glitch-pop and now "Gatsby esque visions of high society"? Did we listen to the same track? Expand ngl the first thing I thought after listening to the track was that it sounds like how I would imagine a F.

Francesco Carrozzini Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 Regarding the reviews.... we could actually see it coming. I haven't seen all of them but this album is def not getting unanimous critical acclaim and tbh, I think she doesn't want it. The album is very hard to digest, but it's undoubtely bold and it's very Lana. I don't think she made it for the critics this time, she made it for herself. 4

Sportscruiser Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 That part of the Gigwise review that said some reviewers missed out entire tracks while going to the bathroom tells me everything we need to know about the integrity of music criticism. This isn’t an album that is easily digestible or catered to today’s frantic attention spans. It asks for time and open mindedness - which makes it the more rewarding the more time you spend with it. It’s also kind of boring to see so many users still acting like music is divided in either beat-driven bangers or boring piano ballads and nothing else in between. A track like Grandfather is nothing alike Sweet or Paris Texas (for instance), they represent different things, go for different sonic soundscapes and even have Lana delivering different vocal performances. It can be a different frustrating to see people reducing this album to this or that when chances are it’s far richer than whatever box you’re trying to put it in. Give it time to sink in and wash over you. There’s an entire universe in this record and it’s a fascinating one, whether it entirely works for you or not. 27
