cherrytropico Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 Spoiler someone said it hits different to have an actual pianist compose lana’s music and that’s so true. compare drew and jack’s piano songs on bb/nfr to this haunting masterpiece made by jon, it sounds way more interesting instead of just basic chords. it proves that piano isn’t inherently boring. candy necklace really exceeded my expectations, it’s incredible and one of my favorite lana songs of all time. just wow she really shines in dark songs like this. wow wow chills. a standout track for sure. (also i’m glad jon only barely sung at the end lol i’m not a fan of collabs i only wanna hear my girl) 9 we’re gonna party like it’s 1949 ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀ :¨ ·.· ¨: ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ `· . ꔫ

LanaCharts Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 There’s no way UMG/Interscope/Polydor lifted the review embargo too early if the reviews are gonna be bad, her 100s are coming 5
Honeyyoung Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 "People go to the toilet missing entire tracks, twiddle thumbs, scribble notes. We listen once, and leave to give it a rating and comment on its merit." and i wonder why they're not giving it 5/5s... 24
DCooper Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 Gigwise calling out other critics for leaving the room and missing whole tracks during the listening and saying that Lana should hate critics more 37
EndlessSummer Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 They were only allowed to listen to it once and some people went to the toilet and missed tracks? What?? 20
Jeanne Dielman Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 Does Metacritic count Gigwise's reviews? I couldn't find anything. Albumoftheyear definitely counts them, though! 2

They did a toilet break at Judah Smith Interlude 9 I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sick of it
Poor Stacy Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 Popmatters, A.V. Club, AllMusic, Consequence, and Slant are most weighted for MC, I believe. Those are the really important ones. 6
