 That is one of my favorites from the album! I can't believe some people dont like it!!!

I was on the verge of tears from it 

[Flowerbomb 65,595]

When the tracklist came out I was like 'oh god this is going to be bad' because of all the features and the titles weren't doing anything for me, but it's actually really good? I'm surprised by how cohesive it sounds, like it's not like BB where you have The Trio mixed in with Cherry Blossom

[PARADISEMOTEL 869]

I was strong enough to fight the temptation… 4 hours left until the grand reveal

[Mash Tragic 3,944]

The album was a fucking spiritual experience. 

I ascended at each track, even the interludes. There's NO skips. 

I'll probably have to listen to the songs over and over again to fully digest it and name my favorites, but holy shit it's incredible. Reading all the spoilers didn't even prepare me to how good it sounds, like I'm still shook.

Peppers & Taco Truck x VB might be Jack's best produced songs since The Greatest. (all his other works out of Lana's included) 

[star Iux 5,985]

I haven't listened to it yet

[Let the Light In 18,866]

I finished my first listen, it's a really heavy album to construct thoughts about it in just one listen. It's very experimental. The first half is very wordy and hard to digest. And the second half is more light and uptempo but I had hard times getting into it after how the first half made me feel. As I've said, it will take a while to understand this album. Right now, it didn't click with me.

 

One thing I'll say though:

 

Wow...I wasn't expeced this from Kintsugi. It made me cry... After the album ended, I came back to listen to it and I cried again. It's beautiful. @Kintsugi you were right.

I'm going to miss this thread so much, the rumours, us trying to look up the album's song titles, the insiders talking information about each song on the album, each was a new clue about the album, visuals and all. I'm going to miss this place a lot and spend hours reading all the messages in this thread. So, I'm saying goodbye to this wonderful topic that I'm going to miss a lot! Byeeee, and until Lana's next projects and albums that we'll try to unravel like a treasure map 🥺😢😭😭💝💝❤

[bluedealer 4,935]

it's so hard to rank each song oh god. Listening to Paris for the second time and now it clicked  

[Beautiful Loser 49,724]

So nice to listen to the songs properly with my earbuds after not catching every single word through the record store's pre-listening party's crusty speakers.

Spoiler

Fingertips is so gutwrenchingly sad, I didn't quite catch that at all at the listening party. Dang. It'll take me some good time to really let it all sink in. That was really dark and sad... but I'm glad Lana said she's happier now. She deserves the world.

I know I might say this after like every album, but I really think this might be her best work so far. If you're like me, and don't mind the way she's been writing lyrics on Norman and forwards, this really is it. The melodies are beautiful. I really, really, strongly think this is so amazing. I kinda wonder what her next project will be like, she really meant it when she said she had things to say, I kinda wonder what else she will have to write songs about after this. More songs about her family and friends? Maybe. I didn't quite like it in Chemtrails, but she's so open and the songs get so intimate, I honestly wouldn't mind it if she kept it on this level. If she needs to take three years to figure out her next project, I honestly wouldn't even be mad about it.

It's like 2 AM, but I don't know how to go to sleep now, haha. This album shook me.

She definitely put Candy Necklace there in place of something else 

💀 I hate her for doing that and not bothering to clean up the transition.

When the album starts to be released in the US, I think.
