This album is beautiful this shows that wool can reinvent itself since the album is not so repetitive, it has beautiful vowels of real wool you surpassed. This album is very beautiful and reminds you of Lust For Life and doesn't lose Norman **** Rowell's stage!!! ❤️✨… Expand

    Simplesmente perfeito. Mais uma vez Lana surpreendeu o público e a critica com mais um album diferente, deixando a era totalmente singular. Mas ainda sim Del rey trouxe elementos de seus antigos discos deixando os fãs apaixonados, principalmente o NFR! e Lust for life.

After an amazing album as Norman F***ing Rockwell was, Lana comes back to show us how she can improve her lyricism and tells us all this stories with such a beautiful way of writing and just as she said, shes here to showcase her life and true intentions without the media's manipulation, such a beautiful record.… Expand

    Perfect album as other album by new legend Lana Del Rey! White Dress? Chemtrails Over The Country Club, Tulsa Jesus Freak, Yosemite, Breaking Up Slowly and Dance Till We Die are the best!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is one of Lana's best. It's certainly not as good as NFR, but it surprised me after listening to the singles. White Dress starts out the album very strong and provides a comfortable transition to the title track, I must say I'm not a fan of Tulsa Jesus Freak, but it works relatively well with the flow of the album, but is quite different from all the other songs. Let Me Love You Like a Woman finally sounds good, probably because of its newfound context. Wild at Heart uses instrumentals from songs on NFR, which seemed quite unusual and unnecessary, would've liked to see a continuation of the production of the first part of the song, instead of suddenly feeling like it transformed into How to Disappear, with a melody ripped out of hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have given me a very conflicted feeling, and the song is quite repetitive anyways and comes off as immature because of its way-too-common resolution in the chorus. With Dark But Just a Game, the record seems to turn around, the song itself was my favourite after my first listen through, but it is also quite repetitive a suffers from a cliché resolution in the chorus, just like Wild at Heart. The instrumentation on this song is also quite similar to NFR, but that is ok since the intro is quite unique. Not All Who Wander are Lost is a beautiful completely acoustic retreat, but it retains the same 2nd half feeling set by DBJAG, it's refrain sounds a bit too sharply syncopated for a song like this, but after a repeat listens, it makes more sense. Yosemite is slow, emotional, and brings back some of Lana's old subtle grandiosity which feels slightly out of place, but it works out fine. Breaking up slowly is a very interesting track, the vocals sound completely different from anything I've ever heard from Lana, but no additional artist is listed (at least on Spotify) it's startling when it first starts and seems quite a bit louder than the rest of the record; not much for dynamics. Dance Till We Die is a beautiful song, it amalgamates a melody I feel like I've heard quite a lot with Lana, and although the rhythm is repetitive, the production on this song is delicate and very fitting for the way a listener might be feeling emotionally at this point in the album. Lana's vocals could be slightly more coordinated on this song, however. Oh and the breakdown, the closest thing I've ever heard Lana sound to Fiona Apple, it was pretty surreal. She could've run with it more though, returning to the old style of the song felt slightly disappointing for some reason. Unfortunately my favourite song on the record, Lana's cover of Joni Mitchell's For Free mixes beautiful production with a perfect artist collaboration; ft. Zella Day, Weyes Blood. It is a perfect closer to this pretty solid record. Overall I think Lana did her thing again, she created some amazing songs and some songs that seem a bit out of place. Overall this is a very solid effort, and although it's certainly not one of her best records, it's intimate tone, touching writing, and relatively cohesive and quality production will earn it a spot in my usual rotation. I'd give it an 8.4 if I could, thank you Lana for another enjoyable piece of art :D… Expand

    It’s such a surreal feeling when you’re finally able to listen to the music you’ve been waiting for so long. When you look at the names of the songs and you already know that they’ll have a special place in your heart. And one day these songs will remind you of days when they came out...The album gives me that warm country/folk vibe.

It’s like we’re sitting in the bar with old friends and Lana is singing just for us, just for her friends. And during this era we see so many people around her - family and friends (just look at the album cover)!!! So beautiful and cozy! And it makes me feel like I’m a part of it (and here you might think I’m crazy and yes I actually am haha). I feel the connection to Lana and her emotions and feeling. We’re closer than ever. I love every single song: Tulsa Jesus Freak - I’m in love with this song! White hot forever! It was supposed to be the name of this album if you remember it:) White dress - so nostalgic and beautiful(especially the vocal), I can’t wait to see the video. It’s going to be amazing! Wild at heart - it reminds me of Mariners Apartment Complex - magic! Not all who are wander are lost - wow it’s like something from Ultraviolence but with a flavour of COTCC. Yosemite - it’s like a movie soundtrack. Dance till we die !!! What? Have you heard that amazing bridge? Aaaahhh I’m so impressed by the Chemtrails and the lead song is fantastic so is the video, I can’t stop listening to it. Thank you, Lana, for everything you’ve done! I love you and your music, and your poetry so much.… Expand

    Absolutely OUTSTANDING! Lana’s vocals are so clear and crisp. Also, the pianos and layered vocals that were present on NFR! give space to guitar sounds and folk aesthetic.

    If there’s one thing Lana Del Rey does, and does it really well, is putting together an album.

Lana opens up the album with White Dress, a beautiful piano ballad filled with melancholy and nostalgic lyrics where she seems to be reminiscing on her Lizzy Grant era and her pre-fame status. The Album continues to deliver with gems, like Tulsa Jesus Freak, Dark But Just A Game, and Yosemite. She Wraps it Up with a Joni Mitchell cover to For Free, Featuring Zella Day, and Weyes Blood. Chemtrails is a short album overall, but packed with great melodies and lyricism. Lana never disappoints and she’s deserving of all accolades.… Expand

    It’s hard to resist the sensory impact of these songs. Chemtrails picks up the nostalgic thread of 2019’s Norman Fucking Rockwell!, though here she’s mostly Midwest and more melodic. [Jun 2021, p.25]

    “Tulsa Jesus Freak” is arguably closest to the Lana Del Rey longtime fans know and love, and it’s no surprise that it was written in 2019, around the time NFR! came out. “Yosemite” is another highlight, a stunning number with Del Rey’s vocals at their best. But most songs on Chemtrails don’t stand out. They blend together in their delicateness.

    [Closing track] aside, most of the 11 songs on Chemtrails are melodically and vocally substantive, replete with sensual hooks and evocative images.
