But i've also seen a lot of people say they really like them so it's probably not bad , just not your taste in music which is okay 

alone, theyre eh. with the songs, they work. but i think they should have been kept off the album and been for the music videos

It's really cool to see how divisive this album is. Everyone has different opinions on what they consider their favourite tracks which is a really good sign of a great album, i guess because it means there are no universally hated songs so nothing is actually bad. They all have room to grow and become more appreciated in time 

she's a princess, she's divisive

Speaking of interludes…I wouldn’t call those  music tbh…..I’m not religious so I don’t find some shouting pastor speaking like he’s stuck in the 15th century appealing to me.  
 

But I appreciate Lana, her upbringing and right to her faith.  Also - songs like  God Know’s I tried are some of my favourites. So singing about her faith doesn’t bother me…but the interludes were super cringe regardless.

There are people here literally praising the JB interlude and saying that they cry to it, which just proves what @Terrence Loves Me was trying to say

i said this on the listening party thread too but, for the people that are going to the listening party and have not heard the leaks, when the party is over listen to the leaked version of Candy Necklace and tell us if it's the same version they played for you so that we clear the "glitch pop" rumor lol

Spoiler

“Almost victorian with you” on Fishtail?

“Almost victorian with you” on Fishtail?

 

Spoiler

The lyric "almost Victorian with you" reflects on how things used to be between her and her partner. The line suggests that their relationship had a certain level of formality or old-fashionedness to it, similar to the Victorian era.

They send their scores directly to Metacritic just like Variety.

Interesting  I hope they send it soon 

[Fingertips 72,053]

Pretty much a day and 12 hours until I can stream Candy Necklace, Kintsugi, Fingertips, Let the Light In, Grandfather, and Fishtail on an endless loop

2 more days Rockafella...

That the album’s back end had something tonally akin to “The Greatest” - that is, big sounding but hopeful however wistful. The title track fulfils that for me, but it’s at the start of the record. Either move it to the end or just one more moment like it (hell, even The Grants) would have sealed the deal for me. Obviously the last three tracks “pick up” in pace, but they aren’t tonally big and climactic (though I still think it’s a great middle finger to end the album with a prowling, menacing note as on TTxVB).

 

I think that’s still my main critique in general, the order of the tracklist - all the moods are generally grouped together instead of mixed up. it’s weird to say that one of my favourite Lana albums is in here, just in a weird order!

“Kintsugi” begins with an incredibly compelling lyric but the song gets lost in the following six, sleepy minutes. https://consequence.net/2023/03/lana-del-rey-ocean-blvd-review/2/

who wrote this, 111?

I knew that Kintsugi and probably fingertips were going to bore the critics, sonically they don't have much to offer, Which seems ironic because that same production that "bores" is the one that best accompanies the lyrics 

[PARADIXO 33,124]

So what are the best-written reviews? Anyone who actually cared to listen?

I'd say Gigwise and Consequence even tho the later had some questionable parts

[tulsa jesus freaks 9,370]

@rightofjupiter who is at the listening party right now, just confirmed that Candy Necklace is

Spoiler

Today I dreamed of that song and I have already seen its name in three different parts since I woke up twenty minutes ago. 

I woke up feeling homesick for some reason
