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

[RJN]

Yeah but you can't see me 'dancing' to this right now

Just wait until I start twerking to Judah Smith Interlude

 

[octophone]

WTF is this?

 

[Ig Komme]

HOW can you follow that????








Oh.

 

[Jark]

oh god I listened to Judah Smith interlude already today and once was REALLY enough.

 

[Ig Komme]

WTF is this?

Loo break time is what it is

 

[RJN]

This preacher is going to get caught doing something sketchy, I just know it. And Lana will defend him

 

[octophone]

This could single handedly kill the vinyl revival. "Where's my skip button....OH".

 

[POP!]

I love A&W, esp the in between bit where it gets all menacing and dark before the beat.

It's not about having someone to love me anymore (OK!)
This is the experience of being an American whore *percolating synth*

 

[TiShh]

Interlude!

 

[POP!]

[Ig Komme]

If she ever tours again I bet she opens with this.

 

[Jark]

he's Justin Bieber's personal hero/jesus mentor so he's already on pretty SHAKY GROUND

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?

 

[POP!]

How does one even rate the interludes. I don't mind them if they were half the length

 

[TiShh]

Is she INDOCTRINATING us?

 

[Jark]

09 A&W

scream. shook.

[octophone]

OK, an interlude is one thing but I could go for a shit and read the paper in the time this bollocks is taking.

 

[RJN]

I am a Christian now

 

[TiShh]

Is she INDOCTRINATING us?

Tbf Church of Lana sounds cool

 

[Ig Komme]

The way she's LAUGHING at us.

 

[Jark]

I started this sync 90 seconds late and I'm suddenly quite pleased about that - maybe I knew

 

[POP!]

scream. shook.

It's called restraint, darl

 

[octophone]

The way she's LAUGHING at us.

...and gives herself a vocal credit for it!

 

[Jark]

It's called restraint, darl

can't relate!

 

[TiShh]

4:36 is NOT an interlude, and especially when it's THAT.

 

[Ig Komme]

Rockerfella my umbrella

I guess it works!

 

[POP!]

Sitting on the sofa
Feeling super suicidal
Hate to say the WORD
But hand on the bible, baby I do

She is something else

 

[Jark]

Candy Necklace is quite a slow burn to begin with. takes its time unfolding. definitely feels like quite unexplored territory for her.

 

[Ig Komme]

Bit MUMBLY

 

[octophone]

See, I was getting right into that and the Interlude took me right out. Now I'm sitting here thinking "oh another low key piano song, who saw THAT coming"? I'm all for art but also, sequencing, editing etc.

a ballad?

 

[octophone]

Speeding up a bit nabbed my attention tho'.

Totally agree with this. And the best track is ANOTHER interlude. It ruins the flow

 

[POP!]

The frantic piano and male voice at end are very eerie. "Riverside" vibes but also very Ultraviolence era. i feel like this will become one of my favs.

 

[Jark]

Jon Batiste's background VOX are fucking SEX

 

[TiShh]

Speeding up a bit nabbed my attention tho'.

Me too, it's sounds like a TECHNICAL ERROR though.

This is one I need the lyrics to 'get' because I'm not there yet. Surprised it's the "single" but that probably says a lot about the commercial-ness of what's to come...

 

[Ig Komme]

I think when I remove the interludes and this follows A&W, it will HIT.
