You don't like The Grants or the title track? Not judging, I'm just curious. 

Like i said it’s not that I don’t like them its that I don’t care for them. I’ve heard her do that type of sound (you know disney traditional pop Lana) too many times to really come back to songs like Grants

Still trying to connect with Fingertips and Kinstugi. Maybe because they lack a clear chorus and melody and have cryptic lyrics

Motifs on this album that we can see in more than one track:

- Cracking to let the light in (Ocean Blvd, Kintsugi, Let The Light In)

- Braiding hair as sign of intimacy (Fishtail, Peppers)

- "When you know, you know" (Paris, Texas, Margaret)

 

Am I missing something?

it’s one of my favourite lines on this :jonny: also I love how different the meaning is on Fishtail and Peppers!

Let The Light In is the best song on the album along with A&W :katie2:

Fishtail is that song, the chorus takes it to another level :jonnycat:

Certain production elements in Margaret remind me of Taylor's this is me trying.

Both completely hookless though

Finally had time to play my vinyl a couple of times, anddd it’s not even in her Top 3 albums :'(  I could do without the entirety of Side B. The first time I played the album I wanted to stop after Side B :rip: 

 

anyway. Still a cute girl. Feels like a mixture of the past 3 albums without an evolution or new highs. 
 

Paris, TX

Let The Light In

Fishtail 

 

my top 3.

no ? "that’s how the light gets in" is a "hook" and/or the daddy i miss them part (depends on what you consider a hook/chorus) and has a clear melody throughout the song idk what y’all are listening to but…

yes fingertips does not have a hook since it's lowkey borderline spoken word, but kintsugi obviously has both a clear melody and a chorus. it seems you listened to kintsugi once and didn't connect and clumped it together with fingertips when they're very different songs, despite both being ballads or whatever :celestial:

The lyrics are not that cryptic tbh

Okay so I finally have an album ranking. In terms of best to worst albums (vocals, production, theme, lyrics, narrative, etc.):

 

1. Norman (overall job well done)

2. BTD (literally worked on over and over until perfect)

3. Paradise (very solid and tight production)

4. Tunnel (mixing issues and too many samples)

5. Chemtrails (too short)

6. Lust for Life (not a lot of passion in it)

7. Honeymoon (unclear narrative)

8. Ultraviolence (repetitive choruses)

9. Blue Banisters (YouTube to mp3)

 

in terms of my favorites (most to least) at this moment in time:

 

1. Tunnel

2. Blue Banisters

3. Chemtrails

4. Norman 

5. Ultraviolence

6. Honeymoon 

7. Paradise

8. Born to Die

9. Lust for Life

Kintsugi is literally a perfectly crafted masterpiece. Before you come on here to slander it, breathe, drink some water and really listen to the song a few times to pick up on the flow and melodies. The song is brilliant.

"Ultraviolence" (originally titled "Melancholia") is a song by Lana Del Rey written with Dan Heath." is that true? :skull:
