Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

Candy Necklace sounds so different with headphones. It sounds a lot heavier and less angelic than the snippet Lana posted

Wow. I can't believe I just finished my first personal listen of the record. I know it's so soon, but I'm already ready to declare this as her best album. Though Ultraviolence will always be my personal favourite mostly because I have so many memories with it and meaning built into the songs over the past 9 years, it's undeniable that this record is an absolute masterpiece. So much was said. So much was done! There was a great variety - it was raw, personal, unexpected, even shocking at times! A jaw-dropper in multiple ways.

Again, I've been awake for over 40 hours now so I apologise if this post and my live-listen reactions sounded kind of jumbled and worded poorly, but I think even if I had been well-rested it still wouldn't have improved my ability much to find what to say. I have so many thoughts that I can't yet articulate. This record is a lot to take in, in a very good way. Right now, really all I can say is wow. Wow wow wow. Miss Del Rey has done it again, always outdoing herself.

I'll have to come back here later today to write my full thoughts and of course give my ranking after a couple more listens, actually probably in a week for that since already I have no idea how I'm even going to begin ranking these songs. Seriously, at the listening party I kept going "oh, this is my new favourite" and I felt the same way after this personal listen.

Love her. Love the record. Love you guys.

I can't believe we're finally here. It's a beautiful day to be a Lana fan, as is almost every day x

Not a fan of Sweet. I hope it will grow on me but we will see. I love the different woman / basic bitch lyric but the melody of the entire song is just meh. Don't arrest me please. Still got 7 more songs to listen to, wanted to wait till I could get stoned lmao

[tjf supremacy 774]

if you want some basic bitch go to the beverly center and find her 

[fishtails 13,831]

Kintsugi did not, in fact, serve Kuntsugi

 

I know its lyrical content is great but it's gonna take me a few more listens

[Ultraviolencequeen 2,864]

Peppers is so bizzare I love her 

[bluefiona 8,050]

So far my favoritres are:

 

AW

Candy Necklace

Jon Batiste interlude

Paris Texas

 

Mind you, this is from my first listen. The others will take longer to sink in.

Candy Necklace gives such AHS Coven vibes

Wtf, I’ve been waiting until midnight (it’s 10:44 for me right now) and the album is already out ??! I fucking missed it  

[Ultraviolencequeen 2,864]

Not the judah interlude being in my first listen top 5! I saw this coming I’m just so strange and wild 

[bia 1,133]

I think Peppers is the boppiest song she’s ever sang
