Remember when I told you that there were strong cult vibes, a song named after a Street, the pastor, and Jim returning for this album?
 

I know about the next album too  

Not this again, we haven’t even entered the pre pre release era

There’s no song named after a street…

also i'm hyperfixating on "and you think about who will be with you / and then there's donoghue"

I don’t understand how these people have the energy… if you want to rant about something so bad then just go talk about the many real actual problems in the world, like we have more than enough. What about actually doing something good and making change instead of just complaining about non existent problems?

I hope CN video is storytelling, maybe even a short film

Thoughts after the first day:

 

Would die for: Ocean Blvd, Sweet, A&W, Candy Necklace, Kintsugi, Fingertips, Paris, Texas, Let the Light In

 

Love love love: The Grants, Jon Batiste Interlude, Grandfather, Fishtail, Taco Truck x VB

 

Enjoyed, but not as much: Peppers

 

Not for me: Judah Smith Interlude, Margaret 

 

re: JS Interlude: I really enjoy the instrumental, and the slightly unnerving vibe of it all. I understand how and why she included this on the record; just listen to what he’s saying and what comes before and after that track!! But I enjoy the record more when I skip it to be honest.

 

I *love* this record. There are some areas she’s explored that call so specifically to my life that I’m having a hard time fully listening to some of the songs. I just love her so much as an artist and person for being brave and telling these stories. And for making me feel seen as an emotionally-driven, complicated woman when I wasn’t always comfortable being that.
 

Thank you, Lanita!!! No one does it like you 🖤

Totally agree that there couldn’t be Ocean Blvd without Chemtrails and Blue Banisters. I love both of them, even though they are not my favourites (in 2021-22, I thought I prefered BB but I listened to both before ocean Blvd and COCC now has my preference). 

the « problem » with these two albums might have been that we had some preconceived ideas of what they’d sound like or hope they would:
- for COCC: it was the follow-up to Norman and NFR lovers (including myself) wondered if she’d follow on some of the trippy prod of this album on COCC. Plus it was the damn pandemic and we all wanted some sort of escapism from that hell, a summer « vacation ». On a personal note, i wanted some old Hollywood vibes when she posted a clip from From Here to Eternity, which had nothing to do with the album;
- for BB, we associated its former name (RCS) to some sort of summery, more pop/boppish sound, with revenge songs… Plus Mike Dean being on board gave us some impression it could be the case… 

 

Ocean Blvd sorta « filled » those « lacks » we had with the previous two albums. We sure will need, in a couple years, go back to them to appreciate them more as a fan base. 

 

The best way to enter a Lana album, I think, is to have no misconception and let it be its own thing. And not let Lana be the sole artist to carry what someone would like / love on an album. 

yes i totally understand thanks for the explanation. cocc grew on me very late too! Love how different she is

[DLT 7,472]

Let The Light In stuck on a loop, I just can't stop!

[Del Norte County 394]

i don't know if anyone posted this one already, but I feel like she really gets the vibe of the album and I really love her accent.

Margaret’s placement is so awful I don’t hate the song but it ruins an otherwise perfect track run

I actually think it kinda bridges the album from the more somber sounds to the more pop/trap sounds well. It would’ve been jarring going from LTLI to Fishtail, imo!

So the vinyl credits has "Talking by Chuck Grant" on Fishtail, but I'm trying to figure out where? I don't hear it

I was wondering that too lol I guess it must be in the background somewhere?

yikes, i knew people would try finding something wrong with that but depending on how its executed i think it's a nice thing to do, its always good to bring attention to cold cases no matter how old they are + honour & remember the dead. i also think that fits the theme of the album really well (don't forget me), i'm still wondering how its gonna tie in to candy necklace but im thinking it'll probably just be small references like wearing the flower and in that case its really not a big deal at all, can people at least wait until the video is out before they get mad..
