Thank you! I'll check your activity on your profile.

Btw, any chance you also transcribed Judah Smith Interlude?

Paradise (Bonus Content) - Angels Forever/I Don't Wanna Go - Single

Ultraviolence (Bonus Content) - Cult Leader/Dragonslayer - Single

Spoiler

So no one’s received their copies still?

Keep in mind that some of the highest-rated albums ever on MC are unlistenable, at least to me anyway. Art is subjective and idc what the reviews say, this album is a smash hit

did anyone other than me actually read the gigwise review? it was like a mix between praise and a critique on how the industry reviews music, so interesting 

Yes, I liked it. This quote:

Quote

Despite being one of the most popular artists of our time, she is criminally overlooked by awards, underappreciated as a writer and largely misunderstood, causing her to basically withdraw from public life as she made her Instagram private and shrugged off the concept of a release cycle for her last few records.

That's it in a nutshell! Editor of Gigwise Lucy Harbron demos her skills in one sentence, instead of paragraphs dominating an article.

• criminally overlooked by awards
• underappreciated as a writer
• largely misunderstood

Check check check!

Awards: It isn't 100 % true with the Billboard Women in Music Visionary award and Variety 2021 Decade, Award but Lana has not been nominated for a mainstream award like Oscar, which she should have for Big Eyes and Young and Beautiful . . . Billboard and Variety invented the above awards because they knew Lana was past due!

Underappreciated as a writer: As Lana mentioned in Interview, Sasha Frere-Jones wrote:

Quote

Unlike [Kanye] West, whose lyrics convey real complexity, Del Rey doesn’t have the emotional and psychological depth to support all the satin and spotlights.

He must be eating his words now!

NY Times critic Jon Caramanica said:

Quote

Ms. Del Rey can’t help feeling like another in an endless stream of sonic rediscoveries and repurposings facilitated by Internet access and distribution

Caramanica backed out of these words in subsequent reviews, tho, like a lot of critics, and Pitchfork, who revised its BTD rating from 5.5 in 2012 to 7.8 in 2021! All these journalism degree writers do not know how to listen to music, imo. Public education has failed them.

Only recently Lana has begun being celebrated as song-writer, esp. with NFR. Bruce Sprinsteen said about Lana, "Simply One of the Best Songwriters . . . She just creates a world of her own and invites you in."

So acknowledgement comes from musicians, not journalists, which forces journalists to pay attention.

Sorry for the long post.
