i'll never unhear the word "nookie" in Margaret. I think thats what ruins the song for me.

 

How you sing into a Nookie?

Why is AV Club using a video that's called "Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd - Official Video" and then it's Get Free  Did they not check it at all or listen to the album at all or what ... no wonder they put it as no. 5 when it should have been no. 1

I tried contacting them, but I can't find any e-mail. Their Twitter is automatic, it seems like nobody actually uses it either.

If you look back at previous years, no album that has ended up #1 on there has won AOTY at the Grammys, so it doesn’t necessarily mean they will win. I do think that they are taking Best alt album though.

i didn't like kintsugi at all when i listened through the album for the first time, but i felt the urge to listen to it the other day and i would say i like it now! but i will say, i wish her voice wasn't so muffled on it

Kintsugi and Fishtail are so muffled it is busted, there is no excuse at this point to have low quality material

No because I was just thinking how I’d even take a homemade A&W video at this point. Part 1 is just like her usual homemade and then Part 2 is tour footage

She probably sang them through a piece of paper or something for the aesthetic like on Beautiful People Beautiful Problems but yeah I'm not really a fan of it either

Yeah, I think it kinda works in Kintsugi for the same reason it works in BPBP but it just sounds horrible in Fishtail.

[paradisetropico]

I wish she would do a video for A&W so bad, and bring back her ICONIC theatre premieres like she did for Tropico, Freak, and Ride !!!! Like those days were so iconic and A&W definitely deserves ! 

[Bonita]

A&W deserves a BRTHR directed video

On Kintsugi and Fishtail (imo) it sounds clear it's all EQ to make it muffled. On LFL it was so obvious that she used that paper shit.

[pin up galore]

the muffled quality on fishtail makes it soooo unreleased collection vibes like its sooo 2008 - 2009 Lizzy Grant I mean the palm trees in black and white lyric and the outdated cheap beat drop kinda gives backfire to me idk  

 

neway tomorrow the final round of Grammy voting opens allegedly so hopefully we get another magazine cover? or interview? or something maybe a cunt IG post? soon from Lana
