March 19, 20214 yr I've had a listen and For Free is my favourite track at the moment, Weyes Blood :wub: It's definitely nowhere near as good as NFR but it all seems nice enough at the moment.
March 19, 20214 yr I enjoyed it! It was going to be a tall order to run 'NFR' close of course but it does still have that timeless kind of feel to it again sonically, I guess it's the Jack Antonoff touch once more. My favourites right now are the title track, 'White Dress', 'Tulsa Jesus Freak', 'Wild At Heart' and 'Dark But Just A Game' - so it definitely tailed off towards the end for me, at least for now. I like how Lana was pushing herself a bit in terms of vocals and production - like her voice on the chorus of 'White Dress' and dashes of autotune in 'Tulsa Jesus Freak', helped keep things interesting and fresh. You'll have to put it on before the rest of us to get that 'exclusive' feel! This feels like such a muted release, hoping it doesn't suffer as a result! Didn't quite end up doing this so that exclusivity was wasted on me :lol: ended up listening to her entire discography in the lead up to it!
March 19, 20214 yr Love it ofc <3 Tulsa Jesus Freak & White Dress are my faves :wub: also really love Dance Till We Die <3
March 19, 20214 yr Giving this a spin as I write and it’s alright just with the highlights actually near the end of the album for me including ‘Yosemite’, ‘Wild At Heart’, ‘Breaking Up Slowly’ & ‘Dance Til We Die’! Edited March 19, 20214 yr by steve201
March 19, 20214 yr I've had a listen and For Free is my favourite track at the moment, Weyes Blood :wub: It's definitely nowhere near as good as NFR but it all seems nice enough at the moment. It’s says that track was written by Joni Mitchell on the album!
March 20, 20214 yr I can't stop playing this on repeat, I'm loving it even more than I was expecting :wub: Instantly I think it's acc hit me more than my instant listens of NFR (tho that was competing with Lover & came out at the worst possible time for me to give it my full attention :lol:) I think this is my ranking atm: Career bests: 1. Tulsa Jesus Freak - so stunning, been obsessed since the snippet on her insta 84 years ago & it lived up to the expectations <3 2. White Dress - my first couple listens we're like it's intriguing & I know I'll love it so badly but it hasn't hit yet, now after many more listens I'm obsessed and it might become my fave <3 just terrific 3. Let Me Love You Like A Woman - so underrated!! that 2-line bridge is WHEW <3 Was hoping this would get some more love since album release, like I feel MAC always felt quite underrated until NFR dropped! Near career bests: 4. Yosemite - yasss for us finally getting this and it's worth the wait, another one I keep going back to 5. Dance Till We Die - I love the production shift-up in the bridge so much! Love: 6. Chemtrails Over the Country Club - this is sounding so great in the album 7. Wild at Heart - terrific song but knocked down a couple spaces ftm for being nigh on identical to How To Disappear really good: 8. Dark But Just A Game - growing more & more with each listen, will probs move into love soon 9. Breaking Up Slowly - one of my fave's lyrically, wish it was just Lana on the vocals tho x 10. For Free - a v. nice album closer but idk if I'll go back to it too much after a while it's fine: 11. Not All Who Wander Are Lost - still a 7/10 but yeah this is def the filler on here for me So in love with this album :heart:
March 20, 20214 yr 'Yosemite' and 'Dancing Till We Die' are rapidly growing on me! The former is so poetic and slow burning and the middle 8 of the latter really is such a MOMENT *.* it reminds me a little of Fiona Apple. I think my bottom 3 is the same collection of songs as yours Sam, just undecided on the exact ordering.
March 20, 20214 yr Not feeling this album much at all so far. It's all blending into one to me and washing right over me on my first listen through. NFR was much more instant for me. I think this may be my least fave album of hers to date. My ranking: 01. NFR 02. LFL 03. BTD (inc PE) 04. UV 05. Honeymoon 06. COtCC
March 20, 20214 yr I only rrally like Yosemite and Dancing. The rrst are ... not career highs, no matter what the stans say. Poor album.
March 20, 20214 yr Just letting the tracks wash over me today as it's difficult to get solid opinions with a Lana album this early. Wild at Heart and White Dress are stunning! Not quite getting the love for Tulsa Jesus Freak just yet but I reckon I will in time. Chemtrails is also proving it's worth as a single but Let Me Love You Like A Woman feels a little out of place to me, good song and understandably a single but it sounds just like that rather than blending into the album like Chemtrails.
March 20, 20214 yr The Joni Mitchell cover is seriously beautiful & she's an artist that's really hard to do justice to
March 22, 20214 yr I love Dark But Just A Game, the chords are very Oasis, reminded me of The Masterplan or Don't Look Back In Anger. The title track is still my favourite single from her in quite a few years. White Dress is an interesting opener, I didn't expect those vocals! Breaking Up Slowly and For Free are my other highlights. It's another very solid album for me overall, it was going to be hard to top NFR but it's definitely not a bad attempt at a follow-up. Edited March 22, 20214 yr by gooddelta
March 23, 20214 yr it was always going to be hard to top NFR and I do wish she'd gone down the 'Venice bitch' route but it's a really solid album... like the first 4 songs are golden. 'For Free' is also beautiful and I simply loved the disjointed-ness of 'dark but just a game'.
March 23, 20214 yr what I don't get is why they picked Let me love you like a woman as the first song/single/taste of the album, any other song would have been better... like Tulsa Jesus Freak would have been a much better choice or even White Dress, which imho is kinda like the Venice Bitch of this album
March 26, 20214 yr I thought White Dress was the new single cos it has the new video and all but R1 just added to their playlist: Tulsa Jesus Freak!!! so I guess thats the next single officially...
March 26, 20214 yr Lana lost out on the number 1 here in Ireland to Bieber, she ended up at number 2.
