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! 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).

We listen to other artists, or have listened to other Lana albums? The mixing is alright

 

  Hide contents

but there are songs that are mixed poorly? But it's done on purpose I think--to add "texture" to the sound, it's hit or miss for some people. It's not that big of a deal.

 

i just think its wrong to compare it to uv and the likes. it was a different time for her then.

same time zone too you got me sick

The way the second half of the album just completely outsold the first half

 

[imaginist 2,019]

Spoiler

I feel like everyone can at least agree this is one of her best albums, but it’s underwhelming for some

I didn't mention a particular album though, just saying the mixing on certain songs is a deliberate artistic decision

Imagine being another artist and having to release your stuff on the same day as Lana next week sucks to suck

why is everyone scared by paris texas  its so sweet an innocent sounding to me.

 

[taco truck 33,415]

The album is at #5 for me rn but I can see it crawling it’s way up to #4

[Venice Peach 54,376]

Candy Necklace really is that bitch. Where is she 

 

I'm kinda glad it didn't leak cause it's the only thing stopping me from listening to the whole thing but I want the complete experience 

[lanasozempicpen 3,486]

i think if i HAD to pick one song off the album it would be grandfather... fingertips i am sorry!!!

[the ocean 67,601]

this album feels like the complete polar opposite of sirens in every way, it's the maximalist hyperconfrontational foil to it's minimalist escapist themes

i will not elaborate further
