Lana Del Rey - Chemtrails Over the Country Club - OUT NOW

[LaLaLand]

Thought I'd start a new thread for the whole "new era" of COtCC and seperate from NFR.

First song "Let Me Love You Like a Woman" is OUT NOW :shocked::cheer2:

[LaLaLand]

(& yes that is the actual, official single artwork apparently... Seriously).

[LaLaLand]

God I love it. It sounds like it should be on NFR - which is a brilliant thing and a great sign for this next era imo. :clap2:

[Ammi]

...ughhhh, the arrival...:lovedup:...


We could get lost in the purple rain
Talk about the good old days
We could get high on some pink champagne
Baby, let me count the waves...

[Wizard.]

I'm glad that musically she's sticking with the Norman Rockwell vibe as it's my favourite. Although the production on this is giving me demo vibes as it's quite basic and the cover art is a choice :skull:

I bought her poetry book Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass and it's really pretty :flutter:

[Smithy]

It’s... ok

But since ultraviolence she’s literally had 0 artistic growth :/ you know exactly what you’re getting with her

[LukeB]

God I love it. It sounds like it should be on NFR - which is a brilliant thing and a great sign for this next era imo. :clap2:

It is indeed since NFR is her best album (also most acclaimed too)

...:lovedup:...I love the home shot video feel to the vid, it suits the song perfectly and it’s such a girlie, type vid...gorgeous...:love:..

[Shaun]

It's alright. Not grabbing me though.

[Kizzy]

Is lana pregnant?

[Captain.Remy]

It's good and it sounds like a message to her fans and haters. I'm feeling the whole vibe of the song and the video which is essentially Lana in the end.
Though I wish it was more grabbing like some of her previous work. So far it's not stuck in my head like it usually is, but it's a good song.

[Wizard.]

Also what's a chemtrail?

[Morgan.]

Also what's a chemtrail?

Those lines of smoke airplanes leave in the sky

It's like a meth orgy

[Smithy]

Album has been delayed until March, she’s going to be releasing a cover album at Christmas to make up for it

keep it

[LaLaLand]

*Cover album of classic American standards.

[LaLaLand]

She’s also done a cover of You’ll Never Walk Alone for a Liverpool FC documentary (which will probably be on the covers album seeing as it’s Rogers & Hammerstein):

Her covers tend to not be the best outside of that one Sublime one

And she said what she said!

I have a feeling she’s pregnant...

[Captain.Remy]

It looks very good already, let's see on January 11th!
I feel like it's a good thing she delayed it and waited after NFR too.

[Jake.]

Did they really leave an iphone wrapped in headphones in the shot?

[LaLaLand]

Yep. I guess it's intentional surely? Intentional how, I don't know. The MV for the title track is dropping tomorrow so maybe we'll get some context perhaps? :joker:

I prefer the back cover but hey, I'm just happy we're getting new Lana.

[Ammi]

...the lady with the headband still has her mask on and hanging down as well...

[Ammi]

...Jake, it took me ages to find that iPhone...:laugh:..

[Shaun]

HMV have an exclusive red vinyl with a lovely cover

[Elliot]

Love the song and the mv

[LukeB]

I do like Let Me Love You Like A Woman but Chemtrails Over The Country Club should have been the lead.

[Captain.Remy]

The MV is as usual very pleasing and spot on, though the wolf moment was...a choice.

As far as the song goes, it will take me some plays to figure it out completely. I'm not taken into another atmosphere when listening to it like previous songs or whenever a mv is released.

From what we have seen so far since the release of Let Me Love You Like a Woman, I can tell NFR is superior. But let's wait for the album.

[LaLaLand]

Album art has been redeemed by song/MV. LOVE!

[Saph]

is that courtney cox on the cover :skull:

[Ammi]

...:lovedup:...I liked it on first listen, I loved it on second...the vid has a huge Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood vibe...

[Nicky91]

who is Lana del rey?

[Wizard.]

is that courtney cox on the cover :skull:

:joker::joker:

She still looks stunning and I'm in love with Chemtrails :love:

Listening to her interview with Annie Mac and I'm glad she's feeling positive and doesn't let the haters get her down, even if she does sound a bit drunk

The UK one from HMV is better

Just pre-ordered that!

Just pre-ordered that!

Let's hope you like the album but if not it would still look nice for your collection.

[LaLaLand]

If I don't like it much I'll just flog it. Lana vinyl's are very sought after - especially the coloured/special edition ones. You seen the price the vinyl of NFR goes for on eBay? Triple figures. Crazy.

[Smithy]

This has leaked btw

Only listened to a couple songs so far but White Dress is cute, it’s not like anything she’s ever done before

[Ammi]

...I can only find a little teaser for it, not the whole song...:sad:..

[Saph]

[LukeB]

I actually love this album :love: I don’t have a favourite yet but can’t stop listening to Tulsa Jesus Freak

[Saph]

the album vibe is like NFR meets Ultraviolence , a solid 9.5/10! no skips.

love them all but if I had to rank:

1 dark but just a game
2 wild at heart
3 breaking up slowly
4 chemtrails over the country club
5 white dress
6 dance till we die
7 yosemite
8 tulsa jesus freak
9 not all who wander are lost
10 let me love you like a woman
11 for free

albums
1. norman rockwell
2. chemtrails
3. born to die
4. ultraviolence
5. honeymoon
6. lust for life

[LaLaLand]

I’ve listened through once and thought it was brilliant so can’t wait to listen more in-depth.

This is a much more “folky” album than the sort of “Laurel Canyon” vibe of NFR but I’m loving the vibe. It’s good that it’s different in feel.

[LaLaLand]

Reviews once again are incredible:

Chemtrails over the Country Club received acclaim from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 81 based on 8 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".

[Captain.Remy]

Critics in France are also very good! Two very solid albums in a row, we love to see it! :love:
I started listening to it this morning (I'm a good boy I have waited until today :laugh:) and what I listened to so far is very very good. Love the vibe, the folk aspect to it and the general feel to it.

[LukeB]

[LaLaLand]

Listened twice now - I adore it.

Can’t believe she’s done it again. I don’t think it tops NFR for me yet (nor do I expect it to as that was just a masterpiece to me) but CTOTCC is up there.

To have two consecutive critically acclaimed, exemplary albums at this stage in her career is a feat not achieved by many. Bravo Lana! :love:

I'm adoring it more too especially White Dress which i wasn't sure on at first but i love it now

I'm also the same with NFR, that's going to be hard to top (still gutted NFR didn't win a grammy, i do love Billie and her album but NFR deserved)

[Captain.Remy]

NFR will be hard to top but this album took the good road to try to achieve that. There is no waste, it's really good!

[Ammi]

...I completely absorbed and lost in it atm...:lovedup:...this morning is a Dance Till We Die morning...I’ll devote a song each day, I think...or a day to each song...she’s the Queen of lyrics and emotion...she’s like the most beautifully reflective, thought provoking Edward Hopper painting in a song...and with lockdown etc, it’s the vibe that we all feel so much atm...perfection...:love:..

[Smithy]

She’s dropping another album on June 1

Rock Candy Sweet

[LukeB]

#1 on midweeks and outselling the top 10 combined which is surprising since Justin Bieber also released an album but i guess payola doesn't always work.

[Tom4784]

It's not as instant as NFR, but it's definitely growing on me, I like that she's experimenting with her sound a bit.

I'm not surprised, COTCC felt very brief for a Lana album so I assumed there would be a Paradise situation or another album on the horizon. Hopefully she can keep the quality up.

[LukeB]

.

I felt this was instant tbh but not White Dress which took two listens for me to adore it.

Speaking of White Dress apparently she wanted to do something like that for BTD but was afraid she wouldn't be taken seriously. I don't really get the hate for White Dress tbh

[LaLaLand]

Officially her fifth UK number 1 album AND with 16,700 vinyl copies sold this week, Lana now has the fastest-selling vinyl of the century for a female act!

Iconic

[Elliot]

Nothing was ever gonna be as good as nfr but chemtrails comes damn close! Prob my second favourite album from her

[Saph]

and she beat Bieber to no1 pour the champagne girls

I love it, not a bad song on it.
Comes close to NFR

[LaLaLand]

Chemtrails... achieved the BIGGEST vinyl copies sales week for a female artist in the US (32K) and the UK (16.7K) in this CENTURY.

So happy for her!

I genuinely can’t keep up

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

She just tryna make the ugliest album art possible on purpose now i think

[Saph]

erm

[Shaun]

she's turning into early-2010s Rihanna with these constant albums

[Smithy]

:skull:

[Jake.]

Wait so she’s changed the name from rock candy sweet?

[Dogeatdog]

Didn’t realised I never commented on this thread :laugh:. Tulsa Jesus Freak and Wild At Heart were my faves from the album. I liked the album overall I thought it was great.

I’m confused Regarding her new album, which I thought was Rock Candy Sweet or has she just changed the name? RCS sounds much better

[Smithy]

Wait so she’s changed the name from rock candy sweet?

I think so

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Chemtrails was such a downgrade from norman it has to be said

[Shaun]

just listening to Chemtrails now

it's nice... but definitely a big downgrade from NFR. I'd say it's around a 7.5/10 though.

[Shaun]

it starts off really strong but the second half is a bit of a drag

breaking up slowly, dark but just a game, and yosemite can all be BINNED
