I think the whole lyric is pretty great tbh, and I like those moments on the album where she tries to cram in as many syllables as possible. there's gotta be honesty in there because who would lie about jamming out to kings of leon

that song is a great character study that treats it's subject with equal scorn and empathy

also: fucking jack antanoff. this guy is probably my favorite working producer now (neck and neck with inflo). funny because his own music does nothing for me, but every other album he works on sounds amazing.

Is she using more falsetto than normal? I find it wearying.

mainly on the opener iirc?

i like the raspy thing she does on it
― ufo, Saturday, 13 March 2021 13:17 (three years ago) link
Yeah I love the way she sings the word "OrLANdo" on that song
― J. Sam, Saturday, 13 March 2021 13:21 (three years ago) link
Falsetto's all over the album.

It's only really grating on the first track, though. I almost bailed out.

there is a lot of falsetto but most of it is layered, multi-tracked vocals, which she hasn't done quite to this extent before. I like it.

it's weird that she repurposes so much of "how to disappear" for "wild at heart" but i think "wild at heart" ends up being an improvement?

Like, wow Tulsa Jesus Freak; comfortably in her top few songs ever list.

I'm stuck on the title track, which I managed to not hear until now. It's really amazing. I wish the video for it werent so cheesy
― akm, Friday, 19 March 2021 03:18 (three years ago) link
does she have any music videos that aren't really?
― ufo, Friday, 19 March 2021 03:56 (three years ago) link
Excited to listen to this album with all of my rapper friends.

Starting listening to it. Really like the first track.Shouldn't there be a new thread for his album ?
― AlXTC from Paris, Friday, 19 March 2021 11:20 (three years ago) link
I adore this.
― triggercut, Friday, 19 March 2021 14:06 (three years ago) link
at this point she makes Pretty Good Lana Records and Really Good Lana Records. I think on balance this is a Pretty Good Lana Record.
― intern at pepe le pew research (Simon H.), Friday, 19 March 2021 14:35 (three years ago) link
she only has three albums i'd rate as 'pretty good' or better and this one is 'really good' to me

reaction to this one seems much less hyperbolic and overwhelming compared to NFR (or BTD) so you may get lucky. This seems to be nestled into a Honeymoon sort of PR rollout.

The Pitchfork review makes it sound like a mere undergraduate degree in semiotics is not sufficient to fully appreciate this artist or album.

^ha ha... well, ok man. I actually think that all of Pfork's LDR reviews are pretty solid; including when they make critical judgments (and even if I don't necessarily agree with every take or point of emphasis).
This album has grown on me, in the months that I've been listening intensively to LDR's catalog. At first, I thought it was too soggy, soft-edged, and overlong; and that it suffered in comparison with the albums that followed it. But I find that when you're in the mood for the ~vibe~, it really is impressive. (I would still probably lose "Bartender"... it feels "songwriter-y" in a way that doesn't work for me, and I think it intrudes on that final stretch of songs.)

This is very minor errata… but the instrumental bridge section of “How to Disappear” sounds a lot to me like “Wild at Heart” (which allegedly was intended for NFR!, but cut from the final tracklist). Can someone with a better ear confirm if it’s the same chords(?)

I'm sitting in a coffee shop that's playing through this album. I forgot how good it is, I still think it's her best.
