willmcclure9 Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 Margaret sounds like a lost Evermore song No wonder it’s a 10
Rage Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 The Pitchfork reviewers were right for once Perhaps the basement doesn't need to collapse after all! its a really good review though, i really enjoyed reading it!

It actually works well between A&W and Candy Necklace. The Jon Batiste Interlude irks me a little, though. I don't like the jumpscare.

Ice Cream Skies Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 Kintsugi is her Joanna Newsom/Stevie Nicks serve.
JoeAg Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 Jon Batiste Interlude just sultrily/flawlessly continuing the magic of Candy Necklace
Mariah's Glove Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 The way I pick a top 3 then hit shuffle and it changes like how does a song as excellent as the grants not make it into the top ranking

Ice Cream Skies Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 We need a few stellar reviews. This doesn't deserve to be in the 70s on Metacritic. I hate Slant and Spin so much.

~Start The Music Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 Still not my cup of tea but had more songs I liked this time around compared to her last two
Relampago. Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 I listened to A&W and liked it, how does the rest of the album compare to that? Lana’s music is hit and miss for me. I love some albums (BTD, UV, LFL, NFR) but some like (COTCC, BB) are just ugly noise. I want to give this a chance but I always do best with Lana’s music when I know what to expect going in.
Taylor fanboy Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 There’s something so distinct about this album unlike her other records. A UV-Honeymoon tea!
Mariah's Glove Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 Her insta story oh she was waiting for that pitchfork review to drop
Dystopian Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 the entire first verse of grandfather might be her peak as a songwriter so far

This album for me is the sound of LFL (the folk, the ballads, the trap songs, the features) BUT with the songwriting quality of BB/NFR. The first 2/3 of the songs are more on the slow side but the last few tracks are upbeat and I think the ballads on this album are her strongest!
