didnt expect to like it but its pretty good

Album Rating: 5.0

Sooooo pretty, very Lana, but that's ok

Album Rating: 4.5

it's decent, but this era is looking shaky overall. if the title track was a daddy's home leftover then this is scraps from lana's recording sessions. the guitar line sounds almost exactly like the one on "wild at heart". antonoff is homogenizing them all

antonoff has evolved from the big synthy 80s pop banger (rollercoaster, cruel summer, comeback) now to mumbly wispy guitar jams (venice bitch, blouse, stoned @ nail salon)

it is happening

it should have happened over the NFR t/t and Slow Disco

but we're getting there

Comeback is one of my favorite songs of all time.

I mean Carly has wall-to-wall bangers throughout her discography in recent years and even then it still stands out.

"down the back, but who cares, still the Louvre" is one of the best lines in pop music memory.



This album still absolutely fucking slams.

Lorde responds to the Antonoff discourse in the NYT:

"Yet it’s in the context of Antonoff that Lorde expressed the closest thing to angst she could muster. Specifically, she took issue with a growing contingent of fans and critics who lump together the producer’s extensive work with other female pop artists — Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey and Clairo among them — reducing Lorde to yet another mare in what she refers to, with some edge and more humor, as “Jack’s stable.”

“I haven’t made a Jack Antonoff record,” the singer said. “I’ve made a Lorde record and he’s helped me make it and very much deferred to me on production and arrangement. Jack would agree with this. To give him that amount of credit is frankly insulting.” She called the narrative — which has also included speculation about the pair’s romantic and sexual life — “retro” and “sexist.”
