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

[plastiscguy 63,438]

They played the vinyls for the listening party, meaning there are still chances the Candy Necklace GlitchPop Mix for streaming services is a thing  

 

Spoiler

JK, but I guess we'll see tomorrow morning

I love Chuck/Trisha’s spoken lines in Taco Truck. It reminds me Jack’s closing lines in HIADT (which still creeps me out lol in a good way). 
 

anyway (ahhh ahhhh), I had this dream where, um haha, I don’t know 

 

 

Spoiler

Literally same. As soon as those ah’s come in I just get a fuzzy tickling feeling. VB will always hold a special place in my heart 💚

even though i don't support lana's decision to put judah smith on the album...

i actually really enjoy the interlude, it's creepy and eerie, and what he's saying really reflects the thoughts and ideas on the album if you think about what he's saying in a metophorical way, not literally talking abut god and all that

 

Spoiler

THIS. it’s a very beautiful, sorta creepy, and fitting sermon for the album. i think it’s definitely a good mood setter for the next two also-creepy tracks of the album, as well. i’ve come to learn to separate the art from the artist with stuff like this; of course i don’t like the pastor, but it’s undoubtedly a gorgeous sounding track. and it really makes me think, too… what was lana trying to say with this? what did the sermon actually mean to lana, and why was it important enough for her to put it in her album?

Guys tomorrow I am leaving for Paris (not Texas) so I am not sure if I will be able to check the thread. So I just want to wish you all happy listening on Friday and thank you for the wild ride, it was the best pre-release thread for me 

[GeminiLanaFan 49,044]

Interesting and, of course, debatable

Serial Killer is on there, as well as A&W and Tunnel’s title track. 
probably deserves its own thread though

[Sportscruiser 11,894]

This whole Judah Smith could go really wrong and sour for her and that could only make her become even more defensive. I hope that doesn’t overshadow the whole thing - even though I agree with the users that said Lana shouldn’t have featured a person like Judah Smith on her album.

 

Oh and the “art should be uncomfortable” brigade can miss me with that. Not here for that convo anymore.

[Mistress999 114]

No CDrip

Guess we will get it tomorrow when it comes out in NZ...

the way they added a link to listen to a song that it's out there illegaly instead of linking a live performance is kinda sending me lmao

that argument just doesn't make sense for things like this either? 

including a rapist-apologist, pro-life, homophobic pastor on your album doesn't make your art anymore "challenging" when it is just straight up including him because you go to his church and like him  it's poor taste... also people are forgetting putting him on the album is literally going to give him royalties so she isn't just supporting him with words she's giving him money

This whole Judah Smith thing is recent?

Oh, I'm just asking because that hasn't been discussed here before. 

[Let the Light In 18,669]

Less than 24 hours to my first listening experience, so excited

someone brought up the fact that he had sexual assault allegations, and then fl0r1dakil0s stated it wasn't him but another member, but the issue is judah smith is the head of churchhome with his wife and they actively rehired him and pressured the victim into forgiving the rapist, and downplaying it as a mistake and saying he has changed... super gross :/

[Eugene 26,669]

Can't wait to hear the whole album in high quality. 

 

Spoiler

I hope there is some improvement in Fishtail sound.

I’m still so confused about FarOut calling Candy Necklace “infectious, road ready glitch pop” lmao like I need to know what happened there. It’s not like they got it confused with a different track, because they mention it being sandwiched in between the interludes. Wtf did they listen to? I’m not convinced it was the early version that got scrapped.

Can I get recommendations on which streaming services, websites have the best audio quality? I feel like I'm missing some elements in Spotify
