My vinyl finally showed up, it sounds aaaaamazing

[Venice Jesus Whore 4,456]

I know the album is already long, but I would've absolutely love a full fleshed out version of Taco Truck that transitioned into a full remixed version of Venice Bitch

I’m addicted to JB Interlude. The more I listen the more convinced I become it’s a teaser of a song Lana and Jon are working on for LDR10

Lana’s little collabs with Mels is always so cute even if their food sucks 

[Venice Jesus Whore 4,456]

I'm having a hard time ranking, so I'll just break down my thoughts a different way:

 

1. A&W/Judah Smith Interlude/Candy Necklace/Jon Batiste Interlude
   • My favorite part of the album and the most impressive imo. I understand why people are upset about Judah Smith being on the album, but after hearing the interlude, I'd be actually upset if the interlude wasn't included. The instrumental is stunning, the sermon and his performance of it is powerful and thought-provoking yet so dark, unsettling, and heavy. I really love it. Lana's laughing also kinda makes it sound like she's making fun of him which just adds to it all, especially after this is following A&W (American Whore).
2. Fishtail/Peppers/Taco Truck x VB
   • Fishtail has moved very rapidly up my mental ranking for the album, probably top 3. Peppers reminds me a lot of Lolita and Florida Kilos where I kinda love them and hate them at the same time. They all sound kind of jarring? I love Taco Truck x VB, just wish Taco Truck was a full fleshed out song that also led into the full 9 minute long remixed version of VB.
3. Kintsugi/Fingertips/Paris, Texas
   • Kintsugi and Fingertips are some of her most revealing lyrics. They're both beautiful and I really do like them a lot, but they feel underwhelming being between the previous 4 songs (A&W/JSI/Candy Necklace/JBI) and Paris, Texas. Paris, Texas is my favorite on the album. 
4. The Grants/Did you know/Sweet
   • I love The Grants. It's a beautiful opener and feels unique to me. Though I love its lyrics, I overplayed Did you know and haven't really been ever able to get into it much sonically, but I don't dislike it. Sweet is really pretty, and I like it, but kinda forgettable.
5. Grandfather/Let the Light In/Margaret
   • My least favorite part of the album. Struggling to connect with it sonically. Margaret sounds so much like a Taylor Swift song that it ruins it a bit for me.

This doesn't count for MC unfortunately because it's the "album of the week" and not a "review".

[longtimeman 8,037]

I don't know who it is who is having reaction videos pulled (the label? management? publishers?) but whoever it is is fucking up big time. Youtube videos discussing records don't cost an artist streams, they pump them up. I'm furious that one of the best has seemingly been taken down for the second time (Brady's).

the Judah smith interlude kinda one of my favs off the album  he lowkey made a few points there "QUIT LUSTING AFTER YOUR NEIGHBOR" "I WANT A NEW LIFE, I DONT LOVE MY WIFE ANYMORE, I DONT LOVE MY KIDS ANYMORE" its very powerful and with the instrumental it sounds like something straight off Violet Bent Backwards it makes me feel like Ethel Cain sitting next to Lana and her friends giggling along with them  and it ending with "I used to think my preaching was mostly about you / Ive discovered my preaching is mostly about me" makes the whole track worth it and sounds like something Lana would say herself about her music its def a if you get it you get it and if you don't you don't kinda track 

[Pink Flamingo 16,077]

she gets it 

[Honeyyoung 16,973]

sweet finally clicked i won so hard  judah smith interlude and margaret being the only duds in the album so true

[CinnamonGay 10,513]

 did anyone go to the pop up? Apparently Lana's dad confirmed that she has something special coming for us??

[honey dew 10,311]

The way I've still only heard this album 3 times because my undiagnosed something has decided I can only listen to it on vinyl and when I'm not doing anything else except sitting and listening

[renaissance 8,126]

Wait why am I only just now hearing the "it's lit" in the background of A&W? Makes her TikTok a tiny bit less cringe knowing those words are technically in the background
