Honeymoon - Pre-Release and Discussion Thread

[nickolas7246 58]

So the second target was a no go as well, we got several different employees to check the back and offered bribes/etc. and all of them said that HM wasn't in the back. One employee told us that their shipments come in on Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays. Which means they'll most likely get the shipment in with the copies tomorrow or Wednesday (due to labeling/stocking/inventory). I'll come back to this location tomorrow around 1 PM and see if they've gotten it (We have a connect at this store that would be willing to sell it to us under the table as soon as they get the shipment in so that's good at least)

Awesome! What time zone are you in?

This is unnecessarily rude. They're just trying to get it earlier so we won't have to listen to MQ recordings anymore (if they had plans to share the CD rip with us), since the album is out somehow already. Let them do what they want.

It doesn't matter since I pre-ordered it anyway, so I pay her work of art. It's just the excitement to have the chance to listen to HQ before the official release. The thirst is too strong, sorry 'bout it.

Explain "mess", please.

 

While I do not agree with stealing the album or whatever, if that's what they want to do to get it... Cool. I don't really care. They won't get it anyway (most likely) but I never read on their posts that they're trying to be a 'martyr' or a 'hero', they're just trying to get what most people here want and would probably do if they had the chance (even if it's fucking ILLEGAL but hey that's the thirst).

I doubt lana cares about an album leaking. She cares about unreleased leaking bc she doesn't think its good. Anyways, Honeymoon leaking won't affect sales really

[Anthem 1,558]

So do we know what the back cover of the album will look like yet? I've kind of assumed it would be the tracklists she posted on her IGs but they don't really fit...

I'm sorry but this just seems really dumb. The album comes out in 5 days & will probably leak within 2-3. Can u really not wait?

Mess at you implying you or any Lana fan is entitled to HQ leaks like wtf be thankful you already listened the album in LQ and wait for the official release (which is four days away anyway)

 

But whatever every time I say something I'm either pressed or mad or grumpy I'm done

everyone likes LEAKAGE don't act like u don't

[WhiteIrishDrinker 1,044]

I'll just give my opinion of the unreleased songs. I'm far from a music critic, just letting you know. 

 

God Knows I Tried - 9/10 I like this one. It's calming, has an almost western sound to it. It sounds like a cowboy reliving their life or something.  

 

Freak - 9/10 This one is nice too, but is really pretty weak compared to the other trap influenced songs. In my opinion, it has the best bridge of the trappy songs.

 

Art Deco - 10/10 If you think Freak is sexy. this is fucking sexy. It's even slower than Freak, darker, super catchy, and most like BTD (samples "why"). One of my favorites. It's like a Carmen 2.0.

 

Religion - 10/10 My absolute favorite. I can't really describe it because the recording I have has freaking people talking about fedoras and Carmen Sandiego, but everything about it is beautiful. It's a shame because I think it's a bit underrated. The chorus is super catchy, and the way she says Hallelujah is absolutely orgasmic. I love the lyrics. Reminds me of a BTD/UV child.

 

Salvatore - 10/10 This one's pretty good, and pretty different. Like if a 2015 DJ suddenly was transported to 1950's Italy. Violins in the beginning, accompanied by beats. Lyrics are pretty good, not great (caccitore, limousines, and soft ice cream is just very strange). It's a really fun song, and the chorus reminds me of an Italian soap opera. 

 

Blackest Day - 9/10 I don't like it as much as the others, but I understand why people love it so much. Very sensual song (Deeper, harder, etc). It shines more in the chorus than in the verses. 

 

24 - 8/10 Another strange song, I guess it's a grower. It's like a mix of western and Spanish flamenco. I don't like the lyrics as much, it doesn't flow very well. I'm pretty sure every line mentions that "there's only 24 hours". It reminds me a bit of a slower, laid back version of Dangerous Girl. It sounds great as a James Bond song. It gets a lot better near the end, when it becomes more faster. While I'd rather it be like that the whole song, I can appreciate it because the chorus changes and becomes more dramatic and impressive, something missing from Honeymoon, 

 

Swan Song - 8.5/10 The beginning reminds me of Sigur Ros. I expected this to be Old Money 2.0, but it's actually not. Another grower. Lyrics are a bit repetitive, but I'm extremely satisfied with the chorus. The production is great. It kind of reminds me of Big Eyes's last chorus, just improved and without the sax ):

 

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood - 8/10 Okay. it's not as bad as people make it seem. It's not exactly great, but it's a good conclusion to the album (no This is What Makes Us Girls, but it's better than The Other Woman) 

 

In conclusion, you can't really go wrong with any of the songs in this album. Everything flows well, and all the songs are long but don't feel like it. She really put a lot of work into it. IMO, it's better than BTD and equal or maybe even better than UV. Production is great with all of these songs, and I don't know why those singles were even chosen. 

 

Songs sound like movie soudntracks: The Blackest Day, 24, Swan Song, GKIT

 

wow thanks! Great review, it made me feel more excited to hear the album. The only track i've heard from the UO recording is Freak but I'm going to wait until the album comes out but yaaas, thank you for writing some serious and nice criticism around the new album (:
