    This album reminds me more of a late autumn than an approaching summer. It is much more personal and I can easily resonates with Lana's deep and sincere emotions. I love Yosemite and White Dress best. Plus, the lyrics of this album are breathtakingly amazing! Lana Del Rey deserves the best!

    O álbum é lindo e inovador, porém o NFR ainda consegue se sobressair e ser melhor. Pelo clipe de Chemtrails, eu pensei que Lana iria voltar com a vibe de Born to Die, mas ela diversificou e entregou hinos, como Dark but Just a Game, Dance Till We Die e WIld ar Heart. Eu amei, mas espero o retorno mais selvagem e impulsivo de Lana, sem deixar sua maturidade e sua grande evolução deO álbum é lindo e inovador, porém o NFR ainda consegue se sobressair e ser melhor.

    This is one of Lana's best works, it has influences from all of her previous 5 albums. This album is subtle, yet bold, experimental, and the best showcase of her vocals out of all her previous works. It's very different from anything she has done before, she just keeps getting better and better.

    Es el mejor álbum que a tenido Lana después de lust 4 life, agradezco a dios por tenerla con vida, agradezco a Instagram por sus fotos, agradezco a mi mano por las pajas, y que bendigan a la tuerca de la llanta del camión que llevo la cama a la casa de los abuelos para poder realizar el acto sexual y así puedan consevir a lana del rey, espero que gane grammy

    While NFR was Lana's pinnacle, this album is Lizzy Grant's heart. We more set back and relaxed, yet perfect nonetheless.

    It's a proof that she's is one of the bestest songwriter currently (or if isn't THE GREATEST). This album's organic, unique and bucolic. The lirics are deeper and sincere.

    I'm so proud of her. She's my soul, my life and my inspiration.

    Lana is able to make better music every album. This sounds so different from NFR, but it also borrows the best parts of it to make an entirely new vibe.

    This album was a fantastic successor to the infamous Norman **** Rockwell. The first listen of the album is an interesting ride, but listening to it a second time things become more fantastic.

It’s also unafraid to look at the entirety of her life (up until this point), and write about it honestly. The content here is different in many ways, without sacrificing the subject matter she’s well-known for. More importantly, the perspective here is irrevocably altered. Lana’s sound here isn’t channeled or reflected by the waves on Venice Beach, or the hectic noise of a New York borough. Here, Lana’s poetry undulates over the Great Plains and America’s most famous national park. The record is informed by experiences stretching from Lana’s late teenaged years (when she first discovered her passion for music), to recent trips that have taken her to Oklahoma, Nebraska, and the like. These places and the freedom they offered from the grip of L.A.’s celebrity culture and it’s suffocating sunlight, are the inspirations behind Lana’s turn to more stripped-back, instrument-driven backing production. After several albums with lush, baroque Wall-of-Sound production, Lana seems to have lost her fascination with the associations such sound has with the circuses and decadence of Hollywood’s past. This seems to have inspired her return (partially) to the music that she made before her breakthrough. An eclectic, rock-ish band, clearly played live in studio, backs her voice on almost every track. The feedback frequently lingers for a few seconds after each song’s closings. Lana’s songwriting is still concerned with twisted love, being held captive by the fame machine that actively participated in the destruction of her idols, and her contemporaries. Her rumination isn’t limited to these ideas, as she sings about her connection to God, an insatiable hunger for experiencing new surroundings and people. She invites people to become part of her personal narrative on collaborative tracks, like the uncredited Nikki Lane on Breaking Up Slowly, and Zella Day with Weyes Blood on the ascendant Joni Mitchell cover, For Free. The perspective is entirely new on Chemtrails, even as she takes snippets of melody and lyrics from past work to rework and reinterpret in her present state of freedom. She delights in narrating this chapter of her life while acknowledging the darkness it took to get here in the first place. In fact, she respects and even gives thanks to the struggle, rather than pretend she’s too far past it to care. Ultimately, this record is about Lana returning to her roots after she accomplished everything she wanted as a young 20-something. Not to assure herself that it was all worth it, but to take the stories she doesn’t want to be left behind, and to bring them with her as she decides who to be. Without the exclusive Complex interviews, the award shows, or even the respect of the general public that characterized much of her interaction with the world up until a year ago. She celebrates her ability to escape the world that was on fire in NFR! , in the song Wild at Heart. The fire-and-brimstone of 2019 L.A. she wrote dirges about couldn’t my kill her. Wild at Heart samples the song How to disappear from her previous record, in which she relates her acceptance of the stifling setting of a city that was dying all around her. In Wild at Heart, the breakdown from How to disappear transforms the quiet Chemtrails track into a beautiful declaration of how she fled the paparazzi, the hell of endless summer, and the criticism of vicious strangers that could have very well been her end. She didn’t evaporate into the coastal heat at all. Lana chose to seek better pastures, and by extension, new inspiration for her art. If Chemtrails is the result, it was the best decision she’s ever made.… 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.
