5-ish hours for me

I’m currently listening to the album. I’m at Kintsugi. The interludes were grueling to listen through.

The Grants: Cancer, "I'm doin' the hard stuff, doin' my time, I'm doin' it for us- for our family line"

 

Ocean Blvd: Virgo, "in a world preserved, only a few have found the door, it's like Camarillo, only silver mirrors runnin' down the corridor"

 

Sweet: Libra, "if you want someone then just call me up & remember where I'll be, sweet in barefeet"

 

A&W: Aries, "do you really think I give a damn what I do after years of just hearing them talking?"

 

Candy Necklace: Scorpio, "& I'm obsessed with this, all his candy necklaces" 

 

Paris, Texas: Gemini, "when you know, you know- it's time, it's time to go"

 

Grandfather: Capricorn, "I know they think that it took somebody else to make me beautiful as they intended me to be but they're wrong"

 

Let The Light In: Taurus, "I love to love to love to love you, I hate to hate to hate to hate you"

 

Margaret: Pisces, "like Hollywood & me, that diamond on your ring, the soul that you bring to the table"

 

Fishtail: Aquarius, "palm trees in black n white, I see in technicolor- maybe if I take my glasses off I'll stop painting red flags green"

 

Peppers: Sagittarius, "take a minute to yourself, skinny dip in my mind, I'm in love"

 

Taco Truck: Leo, "imagine if we actually gave a fuck, wouldn't that be somethin' to talk about for us"

 

 

& yes I left out Kintsugi n Fingertips (as well as the interludes for obvious reasons) despite them being two of my very faves on the album cause 1) there are only 12 zodiac signs anyway  but also 2) there is just so much going on in those two songs n honestly they are ultra personal to Lana yet also SO UNIVERSAL so i could never figure it out,,, not saying other songs aren't also but you know what...im not explaining myself further.. #ifyouknowyouknow

 

not my most hated two songs being my sun & moon…… Aquarius and Libra got fucked over by this list  Justice for libra as peppers & Aquarius as taco truck NEOWWWWW

I've been wondering about this for quite some time, but what does she mean when she says "Dave who hung himself real high in the national park sky"? Was his death an accident or his choice..? I can't even find the source of that info.

Paris, Texas and Grandfather are the BEST SONGS and the fact they’re next to each other is like they’re cohesive.

I just listened to the album for the first time, without having heard a single thing from it.

What can I say... She's come so far. Looking back on her past records, which I love with all my heart, this one is just the most forward-thinking, the most ambitious, it is so well executed, so moving. I think the attention to detail is absolutely stunning. Every second of every minute of every song brings with it a new range of emotions, it has so many layers, so many subtleties. And at the same time, this album is so raw and so sincere. Without a doubt my favorite album of hers I fear.

I absolutely loved the "get high, drop acid" part of Taco Truck, the metallic-sounding guitar that plays at the end of Let The Light In, the magnificent melody of Kintsugi, the energy that radiates from her high vocals in Grandfather, the gorgeous harmonies at the end of The Grants, the structure of A&W, and basically everything about the title track. She really is the greatest musician of all times.

The one thing I am a bit disappointed in is that she almost doesn't use her lower register, which I love so much, and I'm not always convinced by the muffled and mumbling sound of her voice at times. But that's really it. Album of the century

 

fuck I really wish I could have this experience… so glad u enjoyed it this way

I blame the censor 

 

Jk I don't, but I do think that's gonna change over time! I was overwhelmed when I first heard it since it's so much to process, I knew it was powerful but I could hardly comprehend what I was listening to the first listen. The more I hear it though the more I'm floored, I think it's probably my favourite off the album but it's really 10s across the board so I can't rank
