Idk about y'all but to me the album seems to be too short. We've heard 3 singles minus useless interludes (liked the sound of Jon batiste one tho, wish she sang on this) and we have 11 songs remaining...

???

 

it’s literally longest an album can physically be what more do you people want

Taco Truck is definitely growing on me. The first part is immaculate. Taco Truck ten minute version when?

okay these are thoughts on the album for anyone who cares

  Reveal hidden contents

i like it

listening to the title track in the context of the album kinda made me sad it was released as a single cause imo it sounds so much better with the rest and it hits harder.

i feel like Sweet will grow on me.

the interludes have beautiful instrumentals, i won't listen to the interludes again probably but if the instrumental were to leak then i would stream lmao.

kintsugi did not disappoint i really like it, a little part reminds me of the Wild At Heart pre-chorus but that's okay i love this track.

Fingertips i really like the production and the lyrics, it's obviously hard to get into the melody after just 2 listens and that's okay.

i loooove paris, texas it gave me the same vibes as oh say can you see, i was imagining a black and white 50s movie while listening, so soothing.

i really like the melody on grandfather too.

let the light in is very cute i wish FJM had a verse i really like him but the track overall is good very sweet

margaret pretty much the same, i always liked bleachers so i knew i wasnt gonna have problems with Jack singing, it is hard to understand what he says tho lol, it goes well with LTLI tho, sister songs.

i also really like Fishtail idk why some people didn't like it, i feeo like it's sexy and i looove when she sings BAAAAABY.

Peppers ugh i still cannot get into it, maybe i will but for now im not a big fan, i really like the pre-chorus tho.

Taco Truck is the track i claimed and i really like it, i gotta admit i prefer the TT part to the VB part, probably cause VB is one of my favorite songs by Lana so the og remains superior, but it was a cute mashup, wish the TT part was longer.

 

now i do also have critiques

sorry to say this once again but... the mixing.

in some tracks the instrumental is way louder than the vocals, in others the vocals sound muffled or too in your face, it is something i can ignore but if i pay attention it does bother me.

 

UV and NFR still sit pretty in my number 1 spot unbothered but i really liked this album definitely an improvement from COCC and BB, now i do still wish Lana would explore something totally new for her next record but that's way to early to talk about.

 

i don't have a ranking yet but it's fair since we don't have CN

anyway i like the album 

thank you to everyone who reads this i love you 

i have read everything and i pretty much agree on this! but idk why people keep saying that cocc and bb are average... i really loved the hope and the authencity that came out of cocc. even though these are not her biggest projects, they are wonderful! I would like to know why you think so

When you know you know

That it’s time to leave 

Like the summer breeze

I flew back home 

It seems everything's the same

Except that you aren't home

i'm not even finished side A and this is easily better than cotcc and blue balls. 

[lizzyschemtrails 2,556]

The intro to TT is probably my favourite intro on the entire album tbh (with the exception of CN of course, because we haven't heard it). The subtle drums and guitar are some of my favourite aspects of music in general... im a sucker for those subtleties

Well that's because BB is a personal and fragile album for her and only a few can understand what's behind it and that's why I love it so much 💋

I think @Vertimus was right about this album.

I know they think that it took somebody else to make me beautiful

I think this will be a very polarizing album. I like it a lot though.

 

Will it replace Chemtrails at my #1? I think I need to give it longer but I can see it.

I hate post release when everyone starts fighting over which songs are good or not

Interludes should be banned from albums, they are just lazy padding. I’m never gonna listen to them again they getting deleted. I think the album loses points just based on those …she should of added other songs.  

sadly i agree. And so close together at the top, the general public will drop off
