Hi, I have an audio technica but can’t use it due to needing a receiver and speakers. Do you know of any good ones? Right now I’m listening to stuff on my victrola but it doesn’t sound that good because the speakers are built in. 

i also have an audio technica! + edifier speakers which are powered so u don't need additional amp. we should have a thread for stuff like this btw if one doesn't already exist

I listened to the record multiple times last night till 6 am. Here’s some of my honest thoughts. 
 

There are some great moments on it. Fingertips made me REALLY sad. Lyrically this album is a new height for Lana. I am so proud of her. However, I did not LOVE the album. Taco Truck I wish was its own song and I wish she just released VB trap remix as a stand alone single. VB (NFR version) is untouchable. Taco Truck x VB is prolly the most overrated song in my opinion. The whole trap sound also got too repetitive for me. I understand why it hasn’t gotten a 10/10 from any major publication yet.

 

This record is def a progression from Blue Banisters. Most sounds captured on BB are perfected in this record and even pushed further to a new level. 

 

 Here’s my top 5 so far: 

 

• CN (love at first listen) 

• The Grants (SO SO beautiful) 

• Grandfather 

• Fishtail

• Let The Light In

 

Lana has literally covered most genres so at this point I would love to see her make super experimental stuff and this album did do that especially the glitches on CN?? Like a career highlight right there and peppers literally had 3 genres in it!!! But idk, maybe I have been hoping for Lana to go more of a psychedelic route? 

 

Maybe this album will grow on me. I am really hoping it does. Maybe it just hasn’t clicked with me yet? I will attempt a few more listens to see if my thoughts change. 
 

PS:  I have to say, no album listening experience has touched me the same as NFR. That record had me gagging at each song. I even loved every song on Chemtrails!

 

So, uhmmm…. the album has grown on me a LOT and is becoming one of my fav albums! SWEET, Cuntsugi, Fingertips, Paris Texas have become top tier for me likeeee and it just keeps getting better. 
 

This album is def a grower. All good art usually is! Can’t wait to see what else I fall in love with 🥰

I’m thankful for Peppers because almost all the other songs make me cry or feel really depressed (but I love them; that’s not a criticism; this is just a major melancholia album for me). Like, even grooving with A&W and then noticing the sample of strings from NFR, I suddenly made the connection, instead of “one dream, one life, one lover,” she’s given up and “it’s not about finding someone to love me anymore” and I was crying again. :sadcore6:

 

So anyway! Yay for Peppers being all sassy and giving me a break.

no honestly, I think Peppers and Taco Truck x VB are a bit of a relief in the album since it deals with such heavy topics otherwise. It's like her saying yeah I make sad music but I'm still a fun bitch that likes to shake ass
