Jack's voice on Margaret is not bad, in fact, he's giving Bon Iver / Bruce Springsteen.

Judah Smith Interlude:

When we got the description of the song as Lana laughing over Judah's sermon I guess I was expecting her to be like cackling over an ominous sermon with creepy instruments (a la Season of the Witch maybe) but I was somehow wrong about all three. Anyways I don't even know what he was saying

A portion of this sounded like Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. And she kinda spilled some whiny Lizzy vocals and I just

This song reminded me of Fordham Road somehow which I don't think I would have ever expected but holy fuck. And yesss I'm totally getting the Coraline vibes wow

Margaret:

Jack was giving a bit of Springsteen which was pretty slay/offbeat. Also the party is December 18th

PALM TREES IN BLACK AND WHITE! Also this particular song has made me realize something that I'm gonna put in my closing statement...

Peppers:

This one is giving Happiness is a butterfly for sureee. This one is insane. I can't believe she made a song like this I love her

Taco Truck x VB:

Back in 2019 before we got the NFR tracklist I guessed that Venice Bitch would be the closer on the album. Somehow I got that part right -- just 4 years later and on a different album!

Closing statement:

  Reveal hidden contents

I am really, really getting a mixtape vibe off of this album. The multiple samples, including of herself... especially how she uses the same phrases (When you know, you know; braids, etc). It is such a chaotic album but it also feels so organized. I'm biting my tongue to tell more in depth opinions but I don't want to get ahead of myself. I need to expose myself to these songs for a bit first

 

This ended up being a long post so I put it in a spoiler!

Saying grandfather is giving may jailer and peppers giving Happiness is a butterfly is definitely one of the craziest takes i’ve heard i think you need more time with it for sure 😭

No I really did like your interpretation! You could be onto something. But I really do think the cream part is sexual or maybe I’m just a perv and automatically assume that LOL

In regards to vocals…is this not the woman who has sang through a piece of paper on multiple songs and said in a Lust for Life interview that she likes to play with distance from the mic, etc to get different vocal effects for different songs? Not every take is going to be crystal clear, because she doesn’t want it to be

Wait why does this leak of Fingertips sound way better… like it has actual production 

 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

The reverb on her voice is so annoying, though. You hear the hissing sound every time she's about to open her mouth.

 

There's a number of her songs that have the most intense reverb like Tomorrow Never Came, Florida Kilos, Bartender, and I just wish the vocals were recorded clearly, like Norman's - which, to date, remains her song with the absolute clearest, purest vocals. Again, it's the difference between Jack and other producers who let her give into her worst tendencies.

Intention doesn’t automatically make something good but a lot of times my issues with vocals lower after spending some time with the album and getting used to it anyway
