Chemtrails Over The Country Club (studio album) by Lana Del Rey

songs are okay but sounds like any other lana del rey album, she is still doing the same things

Album Rating: 79.82
(878/11)

Unsurprisingly the standard of the brilliant first two tracks (‘White Dress’ and ‘Chemtrails…’) cannot be maintained beyond that. It’s still a good album.

1. "White Dress" - 97
2. "Chemtrails over the Country Club" - 93
3. "Tulsa Jesus Freak" - 81
4. "Let Me Love You like a Woman" - 78
5. "Wild at Heart" - 71
6. "Dark But Just a Game" - 79
7. "Not All Who Wander Are Lost" - 73
8. "Yosemite" - 79
9. "Breaking Up Slowly" (featuring Nikki Lane) - 81
10. "Dance Till We Die" - 74
11. "For Free" (featuring Zella Day and Weyes Blood) - 72

The first few songs were definitely a grabber, mainly with Lana finally finally deciding to add the hitherto mostly ignored writer's weapon of Specificity to her lyrics. Maybe there is a growing soft spot for elder-millenial nostalgia, who knows, but early on this album feels very lived-in and expressive... but then slowly she gets back to her more stylized, high-concept POV that feels like- lyrically at least -a step backward, even if it's delivered in a more intimate/soft-rock style. Donno, the album's pretty solid I guess, but not quite living up to the promise it showed earlier, and I think these Antonoff productions really need to start giving room for the performers and the music to actually breathe.

Very relaxing, subtle and cohesive project. Lana puts her vocal abilities on full display over subdued but active instrumentals. She crafts a mood and walks around in it very nicely.

This album gives me the ability to be nostalgic for times I never experienced. Perhaps Lama’s most delicate album, and my third favorite behind NFR and Ultraviolence.

Great album, some great songs, my favourite Lanal Del Rey album to this date. The reason for the score is its repetitivity and overall lack of change in the instrumental but still a great effort IMO

Chemtrails feels like what a post-NFR! world looks like. Del Rey’s ability to create an escapism into Sad Americana that she has so gloriously achieved on her previous work is alive and well, only this time without an overwhelming sadness or an aesthetic born to thrive on Tumblr. Instead, the record cements itself in its rich connections to the past; the images of herself, her friends and family in beautiful dresses, out in a classically American desert, riding horses and visiting country clubs balancing nostalgia with the present.

How does LDR possibly follow up the destined to be iconic ‘NFR’ ? Put simply perfectly, with the superbly crafted and beautiful ‘Chemtrails . . . . ‘ franking LDR as the real deal (not that there was really any doubt) and one of our times most important artists

She treads a familiar path. Stripped back arrangements. Butterfly vocals. You can't mistake it for anything else but there's very little to engage with. It isn't bad, it's just not that good.
