LISTENING PARTY - Lana Del Rey - Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd (1 Viewer)

[octophone]

The second half of A&W now feels hilariously jarring.

 

[Jark]

Grandfather is such a warm, optimistic, joyous odyssey of a song. it feels like being in nature and feeling blissfully serene.

if one song here compares to anything from NFR!, I'd draw parallels with this and the title track.

 

[RJN]

A tune

She saved the Melodies for the second half

 

[Iguana]

Grandfather

Please use its full title.

 

[POP!]

So she sticks all the approachable stuff in the second half

 

[octophone]

Please use its full title.

Mr Grandfather.

Grandfather is fantastic! It's almost POP! (the genre, not the member)

 

[octophone]

This is great tho'.

 

[Iguana]

Grandfather is fantastic! It's almost POP! (the genre, not the member)

Almost POP! could be @POP!'s biography?

 

[Tisch]

Ooh she's gone a bit CRANBERRIES!

Is this a Jack Antonoff? Is that why it sounds like it does?

 

[Iguana]

This is the most like Ocean Blvd so far

 

[Dark Carnival]

Grandfather is beautiful, it’s a shame it’s such a chore to get to that point in the album!

 

[Dark Carnival]

Ooh she's gone a bit CRANBERRIES!

That’s what I thought as well!

 

[POP!]

Love this

If you don't BE-LIEVE me
Read my POETRY or my MELODIES
Feel it in your bonessssss

 

[RJN]

Grandfather is beautiful, it’s a shame it’s such a chore to get to that point in the album!

But it’s (mostly) good from here on

Apparently YES but so are the interludes

There's an argument that, in 2023, you know that most of your fans are listening off self-made playlists and she's done a good thing by giving us loads and letting people keep when they're into. But I'm still quite traditional about "the album" as a thing so I'm not really feeling it.

Ooh "LET THE LIGHT IN" my BOP!

 

[octophone]

Antonoff needs the sack. New collaborators for the next album plz. But not Aaron Dessner.

 

[octophone]

Do I hear a drummer!??? Only took until track 12!

 

[RJN]

Let the Light In is the most pop so far

 

[Iguana]

Still 5 tracks left

 

[Iguana]

Let the Light In is the most pop so far

In a Sixpence None The Richer kind of way

 

[Jark]

Let the Light In is pleasant. a bit Lust For Life. nothing to get excited for though. 7

 

[Tisch]

The sequencing is BIZARRE. Sounds like she had an album in the throes of being made, took a downturn, then shoved those all at the front.

The last three have been brilliant up to NFR standard. I was worrying I was going to be disappointed for a second

 

[RJN]

I would like a Lana/Father John Misty album

 

[POP!]

This is such a VIBE, very summery and feel good

Got my dress on tight
Cause you know that I
Like shining in the light

 

[Jark]

I would like a Lana/Father John Misty album

her cover of Buddy's Rendezvous truly should be the blueprint for her next record.

 

[octophone]

Things have really picked up now. A bit of focus and not just rambling away while an anxious pianist does their thing has done just the trick.
