Honeymoon - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

lafleursavage and addicted-

 

actually that  is reminiscent of the Leonard Cohen Hallelujah song. It is a song about an orgasm and glorious sex using methaphors and not religious at all. But most of the hundreds who copied the song didn't realize it (and most don't copy

all the verses.

 

great songwriters and singers think alike.

Does the UO Honeymoon vinyl come with a CD/download code inside? Curious, please don't drag me. I'm still debating if I should spend my money on that or wait for the CD boxset in November...in time for my birthday

I want to own a physical copy

I wanted to give Honeymoon the best first listen possible. So last night I dragged out my old receiver, my grandparents' CD player, and my brand-spanking-new bass-boosting headphones. First of all, OWWWWWIE!!!!! Then I took the advice of @@DeadAgainst and proceeded to turn the bass all the way down and the treble up to 75%. (Something I have never done before in my life, I might add.) Then I stuffed some tissues into my headphones for good measure.

 

Okay, NGL. I am here for the ear candy, and Honeymoon fails to deliver a single trippy bop. The disappointment is real.

 

BUT. I put in the time to soak it up, and it truly was a beautiful listening experience. Her vocals are top-notch. And I'm satisfied that she has made the album she wanted to. Bottom line, I'm going to give Honeymoon the chance to be a grower.

 

So with those qualifications ...no way am I going to assign number ratings yet. My rankings so far:

 

1. Music to Watch Boys To

2. Terrence Loves You

3. Art Deco (I will regret my NEON GOLD fan art for the rest of my life )

4. Freak

5. 24

6. High by the Beach

7. The Blackest Day

8. Honeymoon

9. Religion

10. Salvatore

11. God Knows I Tried

12. Swan Song

13. Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

 

...not including the Burnt Norton interlude, which I love.

 

BTW, now I am listening on my computer with just-decent headphones (the way I usually give my first listens these days). And IMO the equalization is perfection.

For fucks sake

[WaitForLife 5,236]

Hasn't Drake released a new album this year?

[ilovetati 15,298]

are we sure that Drake is gonna outsell her?

 

Yes. His last (solo) mixtape sold almost 500K in three days.

Aren't mix tapes free though? Drake girl...

[ilovetati 15,298]

Usually, but they're apparently put this one on iTunes too.

[leaked_version 10,499]

Drake would not release a mixtape now for free, lol

 

Anyways, doesn't matter. Overall sales are way more important and maybe pushes Lana to finally give some longterm promo

[jazzsingrcultleadr 1,708]

I love Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

cash money needs money 

[YoungCarter 24]

cash money needs money 

Looks like it's not a Cash Money release

[SuperMegaStan 9,985]

Looks like it's not a Cash Money release

it's not like he doesn't want MONEY. 

especially when Views from the 6 may only be available on APPLE MUSIC

champangepapi has to milk the whole world to offset the cost.

 

now this looks shady as f.

 (maybe our dear NZ girl told him to release this week)

[joshuasean2900 281]

Drake looks fine in that picture. I have never seen the ugly one ever there though. Is she famous? Idk, I avoid ugly ppl.
