Can't really get the excitement behind Grandfather. It's cute but I find it quite uneventful (similar to Margaret)

[Edelgard 1,819]

i'm sorry but i don't hear the whistles in Kintsugi. At what time stamp are they there?

Fingertips has to be one of her saddest and most vulnerable songs ever

Candy Necklace stans let’s make some noise!!!

That song is simply amazing. I love when Lana channels the « end of the night, in the dive-in bar »!!! When Jon sings along, it’s so magical. 
but thank god it wasn’t the first single: LB would have bitched for endless weeks that it’s « another boring piano ballad », although it’s a jazzy piano ballad.

Fingertips and Kintsugi are better with each listen.

(but, NGL, Kintsugi feels a little bit like Lana saying to Jack: « I’m so sorry you couldn’t be part of BB, here let’s make a track together just like that album so you won’t feel left out )

It's a good album that has a lot of "grower" potential.

 

Some tracks like Kintsugi, Grandfather or Margaret feel a bit stale although they still are not bad and the vocal delivery/ melodies are really good.

 

Big fan of the "Side A" part of the record with the more lush, ethereal vibe. I feel like the album isn't incoherent, but it's a shame that aspect gets entirely lost on the second half.

 

Both interludes are way too long.

 

The trap influences are nice to have although I feel all of them have been executed in a slightly halfassed way. The artistique value of layering messy babbling and of key harmonies is not really rocking it and I would prefer the tracks to have a bit more focus - e.g. Taco Truck could have been beautiful as a full song.
