I'm predicting a PTSD vs. MID war within the fanbase. :heart:

Most of these songs just sound like other songs she's done better before. I get that it's meant to be about the lyrics but the production is so distracting

yeah this album doesn't have big or catchy hooks but I dont think that was ever the intention with the songwriting here...

I agree. I think the people who are looking for that in a song, or who crave big pop hits will be disappointed in this album. 

If you like this album, chances are you liked The Archer, for example.

Which I do and did!

she mentions Stevie Nicks but didn't take inspiration from her sound like i was hoping for

Fortnight is a standout track. Post's middle 8 and the ending are so sonically pleasing

Clara Bow is the best song btw <3

The way she tried to fit every lyric possible in But Daddy I Love Him's chorus, her "Down at the men in music business conference" moment

After several listening, I've came to a conclusion that MIDnight is better and this can easily be compared to Chromatica because of how uninspired it is.  

There are some clever lines on the album but this is the result of her having all the YAS men around her with zero quality control. 
 

Also, lyrically, this is the most Lana-inspired album of her but it feels more like a cosplay than a creative inspiration.

This album lyrically sounds like a manic episode (maybe that was the point) 

Well yes, it clearly is.

To me it feels like this album is to Midnights what evermore was to folklore. It takes many of the same sounds but takes them into a different, more experimental and abrasive direction. It's darker, heavier and more messy. It's like she's lashing out and doesn't care about form or hooks. She's just telling her story in the heat of the moment and I think that's really beautiful. Like she could've easily deleted But Daddy I Love Him after things went sideways with Matty and he actually turned out to be a sh*tty guy but she kept it because that's how she felt in that moment. Whether it ended up being right or not at least it was honest.

I agree with that. The beginning of the album (track 1-3) feels like the continuation of Midnights, and then progressively the synthpop starts merging with more experimental sounds for an increasingly unhinged experience to me. 

 

I truly wish she'll push the sound of WAOLOM further on TS12, because that sounds so delicious.

Yeah, I saw your history of comments… have a good day, you can leave this thread, we accept your opinion now you don't need to write it down 80 times in everyone's reviews or any "what's better album" and your comment there is a pure joke. Have a nice day boy :)
