can we talk about how the venice bitch sample was not needed? i thought it was gonna flow beautifully together, but it ended up just being a remix of the original song. i could appreciate taco truck all by itself without the ending tbh. (i'm a venice bitch enthusiast btw)

Taco Truck full version when!!!!  

 

The first half is crazy good and then it flops so hard

if OB was lana's first album what would yall think about it

 

She went from indie folk and experimental pop in her early years to Born to Die which included songs that would become instant bops. Now she has returned to more complex music. I would not say it's not amazing the first time you hear the songs on the album. But it has slow burn quality. So if it was her first album, I would probably think it's not that good, weird and disregard it, not knowing what I would be missing.

Second half of 🌮🚛

Most songs sound like they're from Chemtrails IMO. Margaret, Paris, Texas, Kintsugi and Let the Light In. Super folksy and chill with similar acoustic production like Chemtrails.

 

Some cuts sound like they could have been on Lust for Life, Born to Die or Honeymoon with their trap vibes (Peppers, Fishtail, Taco Truck).

 

One song is very NFR (Grandfather), and a few sound straight outta Blue Banisters (Sweet, Fingertips).

 

An, of course, some are uniquely Ocean Boulevard - gospel-y/dark (Ocean Boulevard, AW, and the two interludes).

 

The whole album kinda rolls all of her past albums, except for UV because there's not racks that are particularly rock-ish.

 

There are a lot of high notes (especially Paris, Texas), but you get that deep voiced "Lana Del Rey" persona at times, especially on Taco Truck, which is my favorite.

Exactly like it just feels like they were trying to recreate A&W’s magic  I’m so torn because the love for this album is crazy and I even love this album but it’s really gonna take some time to appreciate some of the choices made here

 

literally all of this! you took the words right outta my mouth. A&W was so unique because we weren't expecting it. after the multiple tracks tried doing that, it kinda got exhausting because there wasn't a surprise element anymore.

How do my blood relatives know all of these songs? I don’t know anyone left who knows songs that I sing

Thats how the light gets in”

It’s literally my favorite thing on the record. I listened to it like, 30 times last night  I said it before and I’ll say it again it’s my favorite thing Lana has ever created

Okay wow I am honestly so speechless I just finished listening again, this album is absolutely mindblowing. A complete work of art from start to finish!!!!!!! Not a single misstep in my opinion, she is literally a genius. This album feels like watching the best film you've ever seen, she does SO much and manages to make it all come together so brilliantly. I have total chills

?? the production on Kintsugi, paris & let the light in are miles better than anything we got on BB or COCC. Also I’d say peppers def has STRONG UV vibes, even let the light in and fishtail is a bit UV lyrically. Taco truck, peppers and A&W are like the bops from NFR but on steroids.

Which SYML song does Paris Texas sample already? Is it just the instrumental?
