I hope she performs at the Grammy's and imo the most perfect song would be the title track it'd be so on the nose

Kinda random but LTLI reminds me of Ponyo lol. Idk if it's the seaside setting that reminiscences the song production.

I'm so proud at this album and Lana

It's such a classic and one of her best in her discography imo and while there is variety it still feels like it belongs together,  we go through some darker heartwrenching really personal themes but in the end the light literally shines in

I really love to see the appreciation it gets because it deserves. The surprising smash hits it has oh next step is going to be a Grammy sweep

I just can't believe what she said in the interview yesterday that this album just came to her, this is another proof that Lana is meant to make music and that she is such a genius and how talented she is. Also the way this era is feeding us really good so far Thank you Lanita and everyone being involved for creating this amazing record

Didn't wanted to say that much but it turned into a tiny love letter to this album

[shadesofblue 6,064]

tbh I think this is my fav Lana album. If I could only listen to one Lana album for the rest of my life, it would be this one. I love every track, even the interludes. I do enjoy her interludes even though I know most don't enjoy them (mostly Judah smith lol). They add more personality and context to the album. It's the most diverse in sound of all her albums and has everything I could want in a Lana album; deep introspective lyrics, existential, spiritual, experimental elements, and some bops of course  

 

I used to not be a huge fan of all the piano Ballards, but they've definitely grown on me. Out of all her albums, this one has the most songs that make me cry like a baby lol. When I'm listening to this album, it sounds like I'm listening to the inner thoughts in her brain, it's truly earned a special place in my heart

Visually this album’s like an overcast gloomy day - tunnel by the beach to a halo’d part of the sea where the sun peeks thru. And also an island too where the taco truck is but I digress
 

A glimpse of heaven really

It is lowkey devastating we didn’t get a deluxe

I was listening to Kintsugi this morning and while she was singing "that's how the light shines in" the sun came out. Magical

[twinkletoes7 4,966]

ive kind of changed my opinion on the interludes, i used to skip the judah smith one bc it made me really uncomfortable, i was not a huge fan of being made listen to a religious preacher and also that's nothing like what I would have heard in my church growing up so it sounded bizarre to me.

 

I see it for what it is now, its very meaningful and artistic and i almost like the way it makes so many of us uncomfortable. there's a lot of layers to it, idk id encourage some of u who hated it like me to give it another chance, im not religious but i am spiritual, and there's lessons to be learned in all religions whether you agree with them or not, and this is a nice one. it contextually develops this album nicely too, i wish i could have had the full album experience with this interlude on the first listen! maybe everyone else has already had this but I was an avid skipper until about a while ago

[Cherry Blossom 20,104]

this is album of the year. i know it

[bluedealer 4,943]

while previous albums feel like a top shelf exquisite meal, OB is like a full dinner in Micheline-star restaurant  this diversity of songs is like we have delicious starters, soups, main courses, desserts and various drinks

[honeymoon is alive 15,121]

can we talk about how iconic is this name like DID YOU KNOW that there's a tunnel under ocean blvd 

Spoiler

it will be so beautiful when they call it after “and the album of the year goes to…” 

 

[americangothic 1,515]

bro, "Let the Light In" is smashing. I wonder if her team is AWARE. The power that that has, the intelligence that that has, the clearance that that has, the access that that has, the influence that that has, the profile that that has, the international implications that that has.

[Jukebox Sweetheart 5,480]

I'm kind of glad she didn't win a grammy for NFR tbh. NFR is nowhere near OB in terms of production, lyricism, aesthetic, etc.
