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

[Three White Butterflies 27,484]

I have much to say but it comes in waves. 
 

This album has me rethinking my entire life. My past present and future. I have the urge to start over, to fall in love, to find something meaningful. 
 

It has me thinking about the white butterflies in my life. I wasn’t able to be there when my great grandmother passed or my best friend, but I was there for my grandfather. 

 

My twin sister gave birth around the same time chuck did. We almost lost her and the baby. The fragility of life. The idea that anything can be completely gone in a single moment. 
 

And at the end of all of it, heartbreak and healing. The parts of yourself you lost to other people. The light at the end of the tunnel filling in all the broken pieces. 

It’s just all so real. This album covers me like a blanket of racing thoughts and contemplations. It really is one of the most beautiful and touching bodies of art I’ve experienced in a long time.

I hope that they will upload LA Times’ score, because they still haven’t added the review of Miley’s album, lol. In fact, the last review on MC is the one for SZA’s album last December. 

 

Perhaps we should spam LA Times’ music critic. Poor thing needs to understand that such delays are unacceptable.

They have to add LA times, it will surely increase the score to 82/83

I love it, it sounds really cool

Interesting that people think this album is not “classic Lana” in terms of production value etc. Maybe I’m just an optimist but I found myself loving this album because it felt so close to the 2010-2017 music. Grandfather, Paris, Let The Light In, Peppers and Fishtail really feel like a Lana I’ve known and loved before  As opposed to the shitty clunky mess that was majority of the 2021 tracks 

 

I do agree tho, Lana has changed as an artist since meeting Jack Antonoff and I’m still unsure whether it was for better or for worse

Definitely at least a 7, he liked every single track so far 

[jaesana 3,615]

Fantano review i assume drops either today or tomorrow

A&W and Candy Necklace are so dark and dreamy. Two best songs on the album imo. Let the Light in is growing on me to be one of the better tracks. Peppers is iconic

[Nobody 21,588]

I'm obsessed with this

 

Candy necklaces
