and with that you entered your flop era, fingertips has her best lyrics to date and sweet is a gorgeous fairytale with lush strings and a perfect melody
get rid of the interludes, and THEN it's a skipless album

 

Spoiler

Sweet is beautiful part two and fingertips is boring to listen to even tho the lyrics are interesting😭 I LOVE kintsugi, candy necklace, and Paris, Texas which are all piano ballads but they have great melodies, fingertips does not which makes it a skip for me unfortunately

I honestly think this album is ranking one of the lowest for me....it's way too long, the interludes should've been cut, and I love that there are many career highlights, but the entirety of this album from front to back is one of her worst

 

Taco truck is also her worst closing track (worse than for free) it's lazy, and literally recycled venice...

 

I love her and many of the tracks, but this album is gonna need a LOT of time to grow. I love her last track runs... and the fishtail, peppers, taco truck is just not doing it for me. I hope it grows and i learn to love the interludes

 

this is ur first post??

UM EXCUSE ME BUT SWEET IS NOT BEAUTIFUL PART 2
if anything, that's paris texas
sweet literally has so many layers and it's one of my favorite melodies ever
beautiful was bland and simple and sweet isn't

If they heard the album friday then there is no way they played an early version… we are either getting glitch pop candy necklace (which lowkey sounds like it would work better with the A&W- John Batiste interlude run) or that reviewer was on crack and not listening

 

I'd like to think the same but they are always messy, so part of me thinks that it's exactly what they did.

 

I'm more intrigued by no other reviewer mentioning the song at all.

I’m gonna get killed for this but fingertips and sweet need to be deleted and this could be a 10/10 album for me

 

Spoiler

I agree, in a way?

 

Sweet is cute, but I wouldn't mind if it never existed, to be honest. Other than the "do you want children, do you wanna marry me?" part, it doesn't really bring much to the table. It pretty much feels like a filler, especially in between Ocean Blvd. and A&W. 

 

Fingertips, on the other hand, is a super necessary song for, not only the album, but also for Lana and for whoever needs context on her personal life and her relationship with her family.

But, I understand why many people might not love it right away. It's beautiful, but it's extremely deep and heavy. Due to its heaviness and lack of structure, it doesn't have the same replay value as the rest of her songs. It simply is not a song you'd listen to on your everyday, just for fun.

IM SORRY... I usually lurk as a guest but i seen everyone loving taco truck and for me its so hard... we literally get 2 min of taco truck which could've been so beautiful and an amazing closing track... then we just get recycled VB  maybe if VB was integrated more into taco or something... but I don't see the hype for it bestie

Morgan dropped to 250k sales 2nd week(with 36 songs!)

 

Miley debut with 119k. And Twice is 152k.

 

Lana would've easily scored a #3 or #2(a bit hard to top Twice)...

 

Now she does have a slim chance of beating Morgan in his 4th week.

But she's up against Pink Floyd, Jimin and Luke Combs as well.

 

Praying for a top #4 atleast. 

jimin will struggle going top10 nobody knows him in the US, pink floyd is irrelevant now, and who tf is luke combs

i think we'll be fine!

vb is one of her greatest. And hearing it in this new iteration is literally an event. And the taco truck part before it is iconic. Best track on the album. Sorry buddy

Yes she did a YouTube rip, you’re probably just listening to a different vocal take, I forgot which one she used
