lmao  this doesnt change the fact that shes never going back to the sirens/AKA sound.. even her voice is distinctly different

I agree but I still find that if his last projects would have appeared on aka it would not have shocked me since it sounds like lizzy grant was doing it

Imagine complaining in 2023 that she isn't "gangster Nancy Sinatra" anymore 

I think those kinda of people should really unstan her, cause the negativity they spread everytime we get a song that isn't an overproduced pop slut song is getting really tiring.

[Fingertips 72,034]

Some of you really have run off some amazing members with your draining negativity; hope you're feeling proud of yourselves.

Glad that there doesn't seem to be two versions of Candy Necklace anymore. I have no idea what that reviewer was on.

Imagine getting in 2023 something C-side unreleased from '40th about family

 

I getting so much hate because i dont like the album. I didnt said anywhere that u cant like it. People who dislike it too cant say a word, or very few, because u all r goin to crucify them. So much people dont like it and thats a fact.

Does "The Times UK" count for Metacritic? The album got a 3 stars out of 5

Look, it's a good album with some fantastic songs on it (Ocean Boulevard, Taco Truck, Paris, Texas, etc.). 

 

It's a massive improvement on Blue Banisters and has something for everyone. It's also exploring new avenues for Lana (e.g., gospel). I think it's brilliant how she starts with the gospel and mentions her pastor, only to finish with dropping acid and lyrics like "when I'm violent, it's Carlito's Way" and "blood on my hands"

 

It's just a bit inconsistent (messy in terms of genres) and has songs that could have been cut out (the interludes, mostly) for both listenability and brevity.

 

My biggest disappointment is that there are no bops on it, like Summertime Sadness, Doin' Time, Blue Jeans, and so on. It's her saddest/moodiest record or, at least, one of the saddest.

 

But you should wait to hear it for yourself. Because some people adore it, some hate i - it's completely individual.

Yes. I am done with this. The negativity is just overbearing at this point. 

[Thunder Revenant 20,943]

Have not really listened to the full album yet, but I skipped thorough the leaks and I have tge feeling that I will belong to the minoroty on here who prefers the first half of the album. 

Spoiler

Fishtails does nothing for me. Kinda disappointed after seeing it being hyped af here. Lyrics are nice but the trap stuff fails to excite me. It lacks the elegance of Freak/ Cherry/ CG/ TJF in my opinion.

On the other hand, I did not have high expectations for Candy Necklace and it turned out to be one of my favs

She is sampling a piano composition and adds additional production and lyrics on top. That's not a cover.

But...

She's singing every single note from the original song. I compared the two song and they are melodically identical from head to toe...

Verse/chorus/special, every section is identical..

which one of you delulu gays is going to a listening party and where? 

[MJx 443]

i think that if she had title track, margaret & either of the last two tracks on the album as the first 3 singles, there would be much more hype around the album
