Thank God I didn't have to post my essay on why "Did you know that there's a tunnel under ocean blvd" is one of the best songs of all time to convince you to like it

 

 

 

There’s something about Lana’s releases that make every other song she’s ever put out even better, it’s witchcraft! I was bound to see the light in time. But I’m still intrigued by this “paragraph” 

[CottageHore]

I’m imagining that beat in Angelina being slowed down by like x.75 for Peppers but it being distorted. Like there’s no way we’re getting a high BPM bop with that sample or we’d know by now

A&W (main) is leaps and bounds better than Tunnel under Ocean Blvd. But I'm not surprised some girls wanna be different with the hot takes

Personally, I’d love if the album sounds like the first half of A&W. I like the second part but if she was gonna go with beats, i’d prefer the HM type, not of the ME!dnights variety… tho I do love the glitches and chaos going on.

Both tracks are great. The title track is an essential Lana - a rich baroque pop ballad with an orchestra while A&W is much more experimental and dark, I'm glad she's showing two sides on the record
This album will be amazing

Peppers samples this song and it's also the only song on the album without a piano, so maybe we will have something similar

 

I literally can’t imagine this in any way… one of my favourite tommy songs. This is going to be so ******* cool

also she hope there's a demented classic like this at some point since she's suddenly reviving the pre-Lana egos

 

 

[SweetTalker]

Mmmm kind of wish A&W was 2 separate tracks. The whole song is great, but I personally love the first half more

[HeavyMetalAura]

I’m OBSESSED with A&W. Definitely the next thing she’s done since The Greatest or NFR (title track) IMO. 

[BletaRexher]

Not the Born To Die old flops being obsessed with the last half when the first half is amazing

[duybeeGAshantiGA]

This album is gonna be so good.

2/2 so far  she has released 2 of her best songss ever this era

[duybeeGAshantiGA]

Also, not people argueing about the first half vs second half of A&W. A&W wouldnt be A&W if it's without the first or second half. The song is so amazing the way it is. I know thats exactly why it got Best New Track from P4K. The song shows she can be classic Lana and experimental Lana on the same track.

Is American Prostituta still a flopaj?

[ontherocks]

Just realised, it's little over a month til the album drops.

It’s kind of embarrassing when ppl are like “Haven’t paid attention to Lana since NFR and this is her best song since MAC” or whatever.

 

Like you willingly chose to pass on White Dress, Chemtrails, Tulsa Jesus Freak, Blue Banisters, Black Bathing Suit… etc. 

 

So many amazing songs just ignored bc of the drama at the time.

I understand your point (although personally out of all of those, only White Dress truly stunned me, TJF is cute and on repeat tho). But in terms of sheer impact, A&W just feels so much "bigger" from the lyrical content, sonic progression, execution and uniqueness. I understand how to the average casual listener the songs you listed may just be "more of the same" - A&W is more major feeling
