Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd - Pre-Release Thread: OUT March 24th, 2023

The only reason I think this is possible is because of the “crazy history” of candy necklace, but that makes me think the one that leaked is the official one and the glitch pop one is a demo

Bjork has a lot of glitch pop and FKA Twigs does too

But all the reviewers heard the album all together at UMG HQ or something.

reviewers lie, say stupid shit all the time and cant even correctly label what genre songs are but here we go losing our minds

misunderstanding of the tone and musicality (or even genre) of Jon Batiste interlude, it's just a lack of knowledge of the source material no? 

 

I mean I guess, it was just kind of funny to read

true but this doesn’t explain the lack of mention by other critics and AHA not recognizing the lq leak but recognizing lana’s instagram snippet 

Also leaked album not having CN

[Ultraviolencequeen 2,848]

Are there any more reviews that could be coming soon? 

[ShootingNeon 788]

Spoiler

I don’t think Lana’s ever officially released a demo track on an album, no? I have a feeling the version we’ve heard is the one we’re gonna get and the reviewer was just unattentive and careless 

 

[ByDayAnother 1,903]

This discrepancy in the reviews’ descriptions of the music with what we actually hear… it’s giving AI-written articles.

[tulsa 2,812]

being completely honest, there’s no way lana could make such a risky track and go absolutely UNNOTICED by 99% of reviewers. RIP glitch pop demo it was beautiful having you for 12 minutes.

Anyways I hate to say it but I'm coming out as a

Side D fan. Truly the best run on the album

she released the demo version of beautiful on blue banisters

To people who heard the CN, I know it’s LQ but does it have the following:

 

Bass, piano, celesta, guitar, piano, violin, cello

Now we’re asking the right questions 

[domandapiano 12,088]

How do we think the credits for the track fit into this equation?

Why would they play critics an incomplete album? That is so messy on their part if that is what happened. 

It doesn't even make sense. Why submit an incomplete piece for review? Like... WHO does that? What's the point? 

 

And it's not like they sent the album MONTHS in advance for review, so they either heard a different version or ate mushrooms and had a bad trip while listening.

Credits aren't always 100% reliable either. Remember what happened with Blue Banisters? Where Cherry Blossom had guitars and Nectar of the Gods piano...

Guitar is the one thing I do not hear but it could definitely be there and not heard due to quality. There’s a lot going on in the background in the outro but it’s too LQ to tell.

This is how I imagine Lanita finishing CN and driving to the vinyl plant to have the album pressed
