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

[Rachel97 1,525]

Listened to Candy Necklace yesterday, I'm trying to stop myself listening to the whole album so I can enjoy it more on Friday, but based on how much I love what I've heard so far, I'm hyped for the full album

I caved in and listened to only Taco Truck and it really fucking is THAT bitch!!! I’ve been waiting for a song like that since VB and I’m so freaking happy with this song. It really is one of the best songs  wig snatching genitals bursting body thrusting song 

 

 

THANK YOU!  I missed the fun lana singing shit to beats.

I have heard approximately 6 seconds of candy necklace from her IG video and a listening party clip and I already know it’s a masterpiece

The listening parties look really cringey I already made plans with my friend to go but oh well maybe we will just grab the merch and dip

I was thinking that  and a lot of these people probably haven’t even listened to the leaks so why would you want your first listen to be with a bunch of strangers in a crowded store?

It sounded weird on the leak, like when you use cheap speakers to play music 

 

it sounded absolutely amazing!! what i will say about this record (granted i was at a listening party so i heard it on record store speakers) is the quality of vocals are really great, you can hear everything. the whole album feels really mastered! and that song in particular was GORGEOUS

So, the Rolling Stone just published an article listing out 50 Best Lana Del Rey songs:

Here's what songs from OB made it:

 

Did you know that there's a tunnel #41

A&W #32

 

But honestly, it's a pretty rando list so I wouldn't think much about it. For example, they have Freak at 23. 

Right freak deserves top 20

[imaginist 2,019]

That clip of the listening party really took the “party” out of “listening party” what was that henny? 💀 I got secondhand anxiety lol

It’s good to hear though that it sound properly mastered and far better quality than the leaks!

peppers…. wow. still thinking about it even after i’ve left the listening party. SO FUN. and the sheer surprise of how heavy the venice bitch sample was?? i expected a little nod and wink, noooo she went all in!!! absolutely incredible. a spiritual experience.

[CHANEL #1 2,671]

I didn't even realize the Amazon vinyl had begun shipping yet

[ChaoticLipster 24,735]

Thank god I didn’t go….standing around with a bunch of ‘I love Lana Del Ray my favourite songs are Royals and Summertime Sadness remix’.* Cringy reddit vibes *

These reviews have my excitement level through the roof.  Some statements that are doing it for me:

 

"she transports the listener into a nightmare-daydream...with this album, she’s doing something more akin to what great photographers do, which is capturing, sharing, and allowing us to decide for ourselves...another sonically cohesive record, the thread that ties this package together is the exploration of American melancholia."

 

"the album is a Russian doll, and the first track is only the first layer. For the first 20 minutes, we’re indulged with a string of poignant orchestral tracks...then along comes ‘Judah Smith Interlude’, and everything changes. Suddenly we’re being sucker-punched by ‘Candy Necklace...diverse, nuanced and interrogative, it reminds us that mainstream pop doesn’t have to be apathetic and easily digestible. It can also be conceptual, exploratory and multifaceted."

Up to 80 on MC (they just added the MOJO review). Both acclaimed and divisive? Lanita Bonita's power.
