My fav lyrics from this album 

1. You’re so funny I wish I could skinny dip inside your mind 

2. Grandfather please stand on the shoulders of my father while he’s fishing for sharks in the pacific 

3. i just smile cause babe I already know you know I got nothing under this overcoat 

4. I say I live in Rosemead really I’m at the Ramada it doesn’t really matter doesn’t really really matter

5. God a cop [shhhh] who turned on the back beat, puts the shower on while he calls me

I don’t think she’s done something like a&w before. Since NFR, I don’t remember instantly loving a single as much as a&w.

Okay that’s one song out of 16… 

We need a whole album of A&W’s

Didn't even know Pitchfork did this! Love that they called her the post modern queen

I do agree that OB doesn’t really have a new sound and is pretty much on the same road of the last 3 albums but you also can’t deny that this album masters the sound of that road and is pretty impressive. Even from the start you immediately can tell that this album has much more thoughts and ideas behind it and much more well put together than say BB, COCC. Whether it’s the melodies, the strings, how her voice conveys a story this album is definitely one of her strongest. I mean if you don’t appreciate anything you still kinda have to admit that writing A&W, kintsugi, fingertips, sweet takes courage and to release those lyrics to the world?! To me it’s much more impressive than hm and even uv because you can tell that this is as clear and deep as Lana’s mind gets.

Who said that? Maybe if you and the person who liked your post had the mental capacity to understand context and nuances you would know that I was referring to the wildness and experimentation of A&W rather than the sound.

That’s on you you concluded I want an album full of the same songs.

I feel like I’m the only one that thinks NFR has a different sound and vibe compared to Chemtrails/BB, I feel like she still had the “world building” thing going on in that album and the themes are much more like her older albums than Chemtrails or BB 

Edit: ok actually I wanna say I think all her albums have a different vibe… even though some songs on Chemtrails are clearly NFR outtakes i weirdly could not see them on NFR at all… I just feel like her writing style didn’t change until Chemtrails

Agreed. Love COCC and BB, but this feels like the true follow up to NFR. Not only in quality, but also in the amount of lyrical references and sampling used from it throughout the record.

@Kintsugi can you tell us the name of the screaming outtake?

a&w isn't the only song that's something new for lana. i'd say fingertips & paris, texas & peppers are all new ground for lana too. idk if you quite count the jon batiste interlude as a song but that's also aomething new and different for her, very revolution 9.
