so a quick review & reaction from my first listen:

 

 

 

1. Love - 10/10  - solid album opener, love this track

2. LFL - 7/10 - it's an alright song it's just a bit weaker than what could have been.

3. 13 Beaches - 10/10 - a great and playful track, lizzie and btd live perfomance vocals made a small and cute comeback on the chorus too!

4. Cherry - 10/10 - idk about the cursing and random words being thrown in here and there but it's a great track sonically

5. White Musthung - 7/10 - still not sure about what exactly she's singing about but it's a cute bop!

6. Summer Bummer - 8/10 - i don't like this version with the one long asap verse as much as the siren bumber one, solid track though and great vibe!

7. Groupie Love - 7/10 - the boring chorus treatment hit this song hard during the writing sessions and made it sound super repetitive towards the end. i'm probably one of the few people who actually thinks asap adds something really interesting to the song though. it's great as a track to bring the "general lfl theme" back without  disrupting the flow of the individual songs, i come back to this later at the end of my review.

8. In My Feelings - 8/10 - why is this getting so much hate? it's such a great, hilarious and energetic track

9. Coachella - 7/10 - yeah it's not great but the actual chorus (not the children part) is as good as the outro

10. GBA - 6/10 - it's a cute sis but she seems pretty weak coming just before war. it's a great transition between yet another musical shift in the record though.

11. War - 10/10 - what a great song, i love how she "experiments" with new sounds and usual synth instruments in this song and mixes it with guitars etc. idk why it gives me spain vacation vibes it's probably the guitar.

12. Bpbp - 4/10 - this track is good, the problem isn't stevie, it's not lana, it's them together. they don't match. i cackled when stevie came up, it gave me arcade fire green light bbc radio 1 live lounge cover tease when the singer suddenly switches to her head voice.

13. tomorrow never came - 10/10 - what the stevie collab should have been like, their voices sound good together. i would have preferred a male duet partner like barrie (summer wine is so good) but even though sean's voice is kinda weird it still sounds great.

14. heroin - 10/10 - heroin rocked me, it shocked me. idek what to say it's just GREAT.

15. change - 9/10 - it's miles better than the snippets but i still don't like the verses.

16. get free - 9/10 what kind of perfect ending to the record, instead of ending on a sad vibe (heroin/change) which would be super easy for her to do and put some sad song as last, she choose not to. the second part reminds me of like 16 different lana demos (queen of disaster, paris, prom song gone wrong..) just so many really. love the actual outro, reminding me of the summertime sadness extended mix/ bel air and their endings. 

 

all in all this album is really good! 

i love how it has about 13 different sounds and vibes to it but i also spotted some "general lfl theme". it's kinda more of a vibe because i'm talking about themes that connect the tracks sonically even though they're all pretty great individual cuts. it makes the album feel very cohesive and diverse at the same time. i feel like lfl, groupie love and get free are the most obvious "definition" of the vibe i'm trying to describe here.

 

 

 

i guess my view on the record and the individual tracks will change within the next few days (and will continue to change since i usually adjust my music around my current mood). so don't take this as a my final review and opinion of the record.

 

I hope your opinion will change.

I dont judge you if you dont like Stevie's voice, but by me already being a Stevie fan, I love it in this song and I think Lana's voice kinda brings out the best in Stevie's voice, especially when they sing together.

 

I always thought Stevie's voice WAS a bit odd, but the lyrics always got through to me much more.
