Same but with Paris, I literally started to cry when I first listened 

[The Stargirl Pinky]

Me and the gays this Wednesday listening to Candy Necklace at our local record store in HQ for the first time

[CVNTDELREY]

Does anyone know if she’s releasing something for the record store day?? I went to my local store and they told me they’re bringing something but don’t know what it is 

[rosemeadexclusivebbnewyorkcity]

last night I was up until 3 am listening to the album and today I woke up and I immediately started listening again help me I think I'm falling in love too fast 

[sweet cereal killer]

My ranking, I know it will change once I dig deeper into the lyrics.

Spoiler

1. A&W (instant classic from start to finish)

 

2. Candy Necklace (I was missing these dark haunting melodies from Lana, LOVE IT)

 

3. Taco Truck x VB (quintessential Lanita, addicted) 

 

4. Did you know that there's a tunnel under ocean Blvd? (open me up, tell me you like it, fuck me to death, love me until I love myself, there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd... DON'T FORGET ME )

 

5. Fingertips (not the strongest melodically, but its improvised nature and the fragile vocals are just heartbreaking, Lana at her most vulnerable)

 

6. Paris Texas (same feelings I got listening to Bartender in 2019, it sounds like a secret, whimsical)

 

7. Peppers (psychodelic slutty bop, what else can we ask for)

 

8. Fishtails (I think this one will eventually grow on me just like Cinnamon Girl or TJF did) 

 

9. Grandfather, please stand on my father shoulders while he's deep see fishing

 

10. Kintusugi

 

11. The Grants (great opener leading into the title track and setting up the themes for the album)

 

12. Sweet (Love Song has to be one of my least favorite Lana tracks ever so the comparisons worried me. I think this one is much better, the Disney like melody >>>)

 

13.Let The Light In (it sounds so warm and full and cozy but it doesn't bring much to the narrative of the album).

 

14. Margaret (I mean, she's cute and my first reaction was positive because I had lower expectations... but still my least favorite. I actually enjoy the most Jack verse, I would prefer it ended up on a Bleachers album).

 

Not ranking the interludes but I love both, I think they add a lot of atmosphere to the album and with CN between them I'm gonna listen those three tracks front to back so much, I know it.

Sweet: Libra, "if you want someone then just call me up & remember where I'll be, sweet in barefeet"

 

A&W: Aries, "do you really think I give a damn what I do after years of just hearing them talking?"

 

Candy Necklace: Scorpio, "& I'm obsessed with this, all his candy necklaces"

& yes I left out Kintsugi n Fingertips (as well as the interludes for obvious reasons) despite them being two of my very faves on the album cause 1) there are only 12 zodiac signs anyway  but also 2) there is just so much going on in those two songs n honestly they are ultra personal to Lana yet also SO UNIVERSAL so i could never figure it out,,, not saying other songs aren't also but you know what...im not explaining myself further.. #ifyouknowyouknow

I've had the same experience--48 hours ago, I listened to it over and over on a 10-mile walk around Brooklyn, and so didn't listen to it at all--except CN--over the last two days. Not that I'm afraid of wearing it out completely, because, as I've said, I still listen to BB and never tire of it (except the title track, which I don't care for).

[CVNTDELREY]

I think this album sounds how l4l supposed to sound like 

[DLT]

I am so ready to see the reviews, sales and gps reception. Not that any of that truly matters bc it doesn't. This will forever be a defining album for her I feel. It is just interesting to see how other people interpret her work. I am perched! Good/bad, we know this is a career highlight and that's that on that.

[Jon Batiste Interlude]

no bc im sorry if its just my typical delulu but i swear that Let The Light In has such Beatles/Ringo esque drumming in it????? specifically reminded me of 'Something' tbh.

 

listen to the drum "fill" after the line "put The Beatles on, light the candles, go back to bed" on LTLI (2:47-2:54)

 & then to Something by The Beatles, specifically the drums after the line"somewhere in her smile she knows" at 41 seconds( i linked so it starts here)

 

 

ITS SO SIMILAR SOMEONE CONFIRM THEY HEAR IT TOO  or ill go crazyyyy read my gold chain says Lanita

 

 

 

@LetTheLightln BESTIE noone replied to me & you're the LB resident nr1 LTLI & Beatles stan so I need your thoughts 

[Raise Me Up]

I'm addicted to this album, and I listen to peepers on repeat
