*giggle* Wipeout!!!

 

I'm sorry, but Miss Peppers is a certified bop 

[CottageHore]

Kintsugi’s melody is so gorgeous and she’s such a grower, not a shower. This album is her second best, I fear.

Let us all be grateful Jack never got back together with Lena Dunham or we would have had to sit through a song called Lena.

Washington Post gave this a positive review. Doesn't count for AOTY/MC album scores but their year-end list get factored into AOTY's rankings:

Quote

Album albums — the kind with loads of songs that form a sequential arc while obeying a dominant mood, and are filled with enough instant satisfactions and intriguing ambiguities to make you want to listen to the whole thing 17 times in a row, even when the tracklist is nearly 80 minutes long, which is exactly the case with her ninth album, “Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd.”

The way they wrote this sentence out like one of her song titles too

US is stanning

 

Spoiler

Still... AV Club & Popmatters are due and they can be harsh

Feelin' hella rare
Baby, if you care
Baby, don't you dare say
You'll braid my hair, see
Baby, if you care, then
Baby, don't you dare say
That you really care

I don't think AV Club will review, actually. They haven't reviewed an album since Midnights, which was in October of last year.

Did she FT the fans through her dad's phone while driving? The palm trees in the phone's reflection too...it just makes sense

[Venice B]

Decided to take a shower with the album on shuffle because I wanted to get my jush to Peppers and what song came right after? That's right, the pastor interlude  I was there just minding my own business and that man started screaming all of sudden I hate it...

She's doing a festival tour for sure... currently we have confirmed dates in Brazil, Lollapalooza Chicago and Glastonburry.

Amazing in-depth breakdown of Fingertips! Especially if you're have trouble getting into it (took me a few times).

 

The song really gives so much more depth/context to BTD which I fear listening to again now (Dark Paradise will be rough).

When the closing track three albums from now is some song “x Taco Truck” and we finally get the second chorus 

[Ramooon]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Chemtrails album but I didnt like any song on Blue Banisters

so can you tell me if I'll like the album and if yes someone please tell me what songs should I listen?

It's definitely more similar to Chemtrails than BB

Listen to Kintsugi first. If you don’t like it, just don’t bother listening to the rest of the album.

It’s a wild ride but it’s best to just go through it from beginning to end. Everyone’s song ranking is so different and it really changes by the day.

The album is better produced than BB and has some interesting lyrics like Chemtrails. But if you thought BB didn't feel like part of the same album you'll have some moments like this with Ocean Blvd.

[Ice Cream Skies]

Just listen to it and give it a few spins over a few days. Idk. If you’re hoping for some easily digestible album from Lana where everything’s going to click on first listen, this isn’t it. But it’s 100% worth investing some time in, because the album is truly brilliant.
