That makes me so happy. I was hoping it would score higher than NFR but I guess that’s hard to do. I’m glad it was well-received!!!

[Elle]

The Wait for Life melody sample in Sweet amazed me. That's one of my favourite melodies, and I'm glad she held onto it and gave it a nod in this song. Delicate, sweet, beautiful, a classic Lana ballad track. 

Now onto the iconic A&W that I've already listened to 120 times this year already, but still hasn't gotten old.. x

WIPEOUTTT!!!

[Venice]

Omg? Pretty amazing how much your opinions on songs can change when they're in HQ  Mind blown

[Lanaparadiserey]

The Grants and title track hitting like never before 

[tjf supremacy]

yep sweet is just as amazing as i remembered it being 

 

[Mer]

The Sweet to A&W whiplash ?

[American Whore]

I never noticed in Ocean Blvd and during the entire first half of A&W, the beat underneath everything, it's super subtle and quiet, it's like a very quiet base/kickdrum sound that picks up during the last part of AW before Jimmy starts

Despite the event yesterday, this feels like the first listen. I fucking loved Sweet 

[Party Favor]

i actually like the judah interlude in context of the album  its got a creepy twinge that i love

[Super Movie]

There truly are not enough words that can accurately describe the complex beauty of this album. I'll have to post a full length review later, but for now, I just truly cannot explain how much I love this album. It's my favorite Lana album to date. She has truly outdone herself in my opinion. Here's my current ranking: 

 

1. Grandfather

2. Candy Necklace

3. Let The Light In 

4. Fingertips 

5. Taco Truck x VB

6. A&W

7. Fishtail

8. Kintsugi

9. Ocean Blvd

10. Peppers

11. The Grants

12. Paris, Texas

13. Margaret 

14. Sweet 

15. Jon Batiste Interlude

16. Judah Smith Interlude

[tjf supremacy]

[Black to Blue]

This is my first time listening to Candy Necklace and it’s absolutely breathtaking.   Makes me even more excited for the music video coming soon. 
 

Just when naysayers believed there would be no visuals, Lana surprises us again 

[The Grants]
