I just want to hide in bed forever and listen to this album on repeat. 

[DEMONDELREY 2,677]

They’re currently playing Paris, Texas at my local Starbucks

I don’t think taco truck or peppers are radio fodder at all- they’re quite rough and experimental in their structure changes- not exactly what the average GP would listen to in their car

[mostexoticflwr 1,043]

listening to the judah interlude on my way to church and lemme tell u it’s definitely an experience

[Taco Truck x VB 3,595]

i’m still catching up with pre-release thread

i’ve tried not to overplay it but still to get a better opinion of the album - i almost opened a spoiler.. this is so refreshing 

 

i can’t wait for this album to have new memories for me as every lana release does, each album is from a different time period of my life and also me having a different favorite depending on my life situation at the time

 

so.. initially i thought it would sound more like title track & the grants - didn’t listen to sweet or fingy when they leaked just heard TT snippet and i was a little disappointed when it wasn’t quite what i was expecting, the more lush grand sounding production as i heard in title track..

 

initial thoughts .. songs have definitely definitely grown on me. i love this album. i think it’s in top 3 at the moment. not recency bias, i just do really love it and the variety in sonic cohesiveness 

 

i did not like peppers or fishtail when i heard them at first, i thought they were incredibly messy production wise, and i really wanted to like them (and taco truck ).. after hearing them in proper quality they’ve definitely grown on me 100%. still think peppers is messy at the end after the surf rock bit, they should’ve isolated tommy’s vocals and not had the drum and whatever the fuck the instrument is and it would’ve blended a lot better, and fishtail is still messy at the end but they’ll grow on me.. after listening to angelina i defo appreciate peppers much more - it was a grower for me.. 

i liked kintsugi a lot i thought it was beautiful, same with p,t but today they made me cry because my mind wandered a little 

 

along with her sampling herself and referencing herself multiple times, i feel like there’s a couple songs that would fit on other albums too and i really like that, CN could be an UV outtake, Grandfather a NFR one, LTLI is reminiscent of LFL to me but a more mature and better, also gives me IYLDWM vibes slightly, Fishtail maybe could’ve been on COCC

 

holy trinity for me right now - UV, NFR, OB

Sure jan. When was the last time you look at the charts or listen to radio?

 

[Louise 1,473]

How can you do it? I thought, I'll listen to one song, open it like a gift. It is Fingertips, and I am listening with the lyrics open on Genius, and sobbing! Instead of gobble this album up, maybe I have to listen one song per day . . .

She makes me wanna drop everything and be an artist 

[EndlessSummer 3,523]

The lyrics on apple music are so accurate, they even got what margaret was saying in taco truck

[Paris Hilton 9,845]

Mixing on A&W, Kintsugi and Fishtail is so annoying  those songs are so fucking quiet.

[OscarScheller 872]

So what are the full first day spotify debut numbers? 

[The Missing Shade of Blue 2,400]

Keep thinking what life would be like if there was a track called Lena on this record 

[gothphetamine 1,093]

Slightly unrelated but I’m so done with the Lana subreddit. It’s full of immature morons who keep crying about everything that they can even slightly construe as problematic. Like sorry that the album doesn’t include fucking tone indicators before every track

 

Anyway I’ve had “you wanted me sadder” stuck in my head since last night 

[whitelungswhitepalms 10,090]

Grandfather……the song that you are….god if you’re near me…

 

she always pushes the bar higher, this album is something else.

is someone sneezing at 3:13 in A&W? 

I always thought that when I heard it o.o 

[Pink Flamingo 17,145]

Taylor promoting Lana last night in the middle of the concert is something I didn't expect. During the tour she took the time to sit down and listen to Lana's album, I think that's really sweet of her and shows the genuine admiration Taylor has for Lana.

 

Tay supporting Lana and helping her gain access to a wider audience is really nice (there was another day on the tour when Diet Moutain Dew was playing lol).
