Chemtrails Over The Country Club

I'm sure there are fans of her and her music and how she sings, buts it's not for me, it didn't catch me at all nor at any moment. It passed by, the songwriting is good, but I wasn't engaged with the album.

Is this watching paint dry? In slow motion? I've got more exciting things to do with my time, like watching grass grow or counting grains of sand. Spins: 1 Playlist Additions - Nah, I ain't gotta add nothin'

Nope. I didn't like her vocal delivery, and the whole thing feels like she thinks she's more clever than the rest of us. It's all her whispering and singing at us, like she's trying to elicit an ASMR thing.

Lorde Olivia Del Swift.

First of all, I steadfastly believe this is too young an album to be here. I said what I said. And Lana immediately proves me right with "white dress," which is overflowing with the worst broken whispersinging. It says nothing and says it poorly. But then, what can you expect from an album whose title references both "chemtrails" and country clubs? Nightmare blunt rotation. That falsetto comes up elsewhere on thr album, and it is always bad, but never worse than the first song. There's a lot of trash here, but one thing that immediately rubbed me the wrong way was that there were two songs where "I only mention it because" is a major lyrical motif. This is a woman who has released books of poetry, which is either very bold of her or this is a major fall-off from that moment. It's not the only thing that bores me here (like Damon yesterday, she feels asleep or drugged... same Lana). It's the deeply childish idea of depth. It's the now-stale affectation without the semblance of edge that one could claim on Born to Die. Music to tradwife a redneck alligator farmer to. For the "not like other girls" girls for whom the thing that is not like other girls is their meth habit. My first 1*, I think, richly deserved. If I had to listen to another song again, i'd pick Dark but Just a Game.

Insipid. Boring. A feather could knock it over. If we’re putting a LDR record on the list, at least chose Norman Fucking Rockwell. 1/5.

Not for me

Every song is so slow and breathy. Would have loved just a single uptempo song!

Breathless whisper singing. No thanks.

Plodding and uninteresting 1 star

The very uninspired singing doesn't really do much for me. Also how can an album come out in 2021 and instantly be added to this list?

Okey, so... respectfully Hell nah man

I just don't know if there's anything she can do that can make her interesting at all to me

Another boring album by a manufactured artist.

Never listened. Expectations: Low - Verdict: Dislike - I know some of the big hits and I'm not keen but lets see. White Dress is pretty good. The title track isn't for me. I just find the sound boring I think. These songs all sound the same. Dark But Just A Game is at least slightly different. Dance Til We Die perks up a bit towards the end but these are rare points of difference in an otherwise dull landscape.

po achei esse genuinamente ruim prefiro 1100000x as eras anteriores da lana

Dreary durge. Very samey

I feel like she's trying to be Tori Amos but with less musical variety and fun. Every song is a breathy ballad and the album lacks variety in music styles. Look, I don't think that artists should veer from who they are, but I would like a little variety in tempo to get my heart pumping. Later in the album, I found a couple of songs that were alright, my favorite being Dark But Just A Game. My daughter really likes Lana Del Rey, though, and told me that there are other albums I should listen to instead, so I'll give her another shot. NFR! was Grammy-nominated for album of the year, so maybe that one will let me experience her best work, and perhaps she will be redeemed. However, with Chemtrails, I'm going to have to give it 1 star.

Songs to stare out a rainy window too.

Listening Notes Maybe listening to an entire album will change my mind on Lana Update: It did not Standout Tracks "Let Me Love You like a Woman" First time? Yes Will it go into your rotation? No

This sucked.

My least favourite album so far, bad song writing and terrible singing.

Incredibly dull

Nice easy Listening

I'll admit I wasn't looking forward to this one. The little bit I know of Del Rey, is that that's not her name, she's recorded under a few other names before this persona became a hit, and that she claimed to live in a trailer park until people pointed out she was actually from a fairly wealthy family. So, to paraphrase Pulp, she thought being poor would make her look cool. The opening piano bit had me thinking maybe this would be okay, but then the vocals started. God I hate "sexy" breathy vocals. Thankfully, she loses the breathy vocals on the later songs, but that didn't help my enjoyment of the album much. The music is alright, but bland. The lyrics are mostly terrible - "I love you lots, like polka dots"? Bottom line: crap I hope to never hear again.

Again, unforgivably boring. She has a nice voice but these are all the same slow song in the same minor key over and over.

This is shit

I thought her voice was alright before I listened to this album.

I cannot handle another full album of ballads without a single drum snare. Not my kind of music, couldn't think of a situation where one would listen to an album like this.

Do you love Lana Del Rey, or do you just love the laid back hoe energy she brings?

dont like it

Booooring. Nothing goes anywhere

In the words of James Dean Bradfield, this was all surface and no feeling. I get the juxtaposition between an old time sound and modern lyrics but there is really nothing ground breaking here. Give me duck stab over this packaged beigeness everday.

I can hardly stand her high pitched, breathed and whining vocals. Skipped nearly every track. 1,5

Trash, couldn't make it 30 seconds into any of the songs, I really tried. Same thing over and over, completely unrelatable.

Big No. Is ambient whining a genre now?

Utter wank. Where is the music in my album? Why is there nothing interesting going on in my eardrums? Not an ounce of talent was put into this. Boo I say.

Toss. My barber used to love this album and I stopped going.

Don't think I've ever heard music that sounded more like fingernails being scraped down a blackboard. Had to turn it off

Boring

background music at a funeral? ok. Otherwise, no thanks.

Too mopey. Could not finish.

Ah man, why do they do this to me. I can't help but be turned off by any album described as "Americana," mostly because if it was any actual style of music like blues, rock or something, then they'd just call it that. Dark But Just a Game is ok, probably the best track for me. The others were very forgettable. 1/5

Not very good at all. Sorry Lana, you are cute but a terrible singer

Lana del rey belongs on the list of 1001 artists whose music is used for torture at guantanamo bay

Lana Del Rey seems very talented but Jesus this was a boring album

Boring depressing trash. Half the songs have the same three piano chords.

Snooze fest

Snoresville. The tunes just go nowhere at all.

This is a recording of a woman playing root position quarter note chords on a piano while singing personal non sequiturs which would be better shared with her therapist. I used to have a wife like this.

The creator of this book/website/idea have totally opposite tastes

Complete crap! 45 minutes of the same boring dirge with shitty whisper-singing over the top. This was absolute torture to sit through.

I imagine the vocals are meant to sound breathy and dreamy, but they come off as bored and inconsequential. The same can be applied to the entire album, eleven tracks of plodding and sparse instrumentation with dull vocals that go straight to the "background music" part of my brain. As this car crash of an album continues, what was once just annoying becomes pure torture. Hence one star from me; this was just awful.

Thanks, I hate it.

Still waiting for something interesting to happen.

Just not my thing, cheesy lyrics that are whispered with boring instrumental backing. I can see how some like this but don't most Lana fans like Norman Rockwell and some others more than this one? Another swing and a miss with the recent albums. Some points for having Weyes Blood on it. Titanic Rising shits on this album, where's it at? Rating: 1.4

Pre-listening thoughts: UGH GOD I hate Lana del Rey. One trick pony and it’s a boring ass trick. She just sort of moans her way through her music. Do not understand why people worship her like she’s an iconic pop star. She cannot sing. Hate her hate her. Post/during listening thoughts: this did not change my opinion on Lana del Rey. In fact, it only emphasized my points. She spits a mouthful of words that don’t fit on a beat that drones. Like the National but for femcels. UGH UGH UGH 1/10 DID I NEED TO HEAR THIS BEFORE I DIE: NO Fav tracks: actually rolled my eyes thinking of having to add something of hers to my playlist and Spotify now recommending me her stuff NO Least fav tracks: I actually cannot believe this made the list. Fuck off

I’ve decided this is called waifcore. There’s no doubt she has s decent voice, sounding at times like Joan Baez, but it’s all a bit maudlin for me.

Her 7th album. In order to rescue eleven monotonous dirges of tracks that have a whispy voice singing standard lyrics, the producer way over compensated and made this poor album even more distant. Female artists have told me their stories and struggles elsewhere with far more soul and spirit. I don't believe you Lana.

Sounded like one continuous track throughout, extremely boring and forgettable.

Ugh. 45 minutes of breathy, whispering vocals layered over soft keys. Lana leans super hard on production here. Not every track needs chorus, jesus. I'm heard more track variance on stoner doom albums than this. It's currently 2025, whomever submitted this album needs to take a reality check. When I think of how fucked everything was in 2021, this album just comes off as vapid. There were people writing music about our institutions crumbling, our leadership failing us and their loved ones dying all around them. Good thing Lana was singing about "remember when we listened to Kings of Leon on the radio?" Who gives a shit. Similar to Taylor Swift, Lana has that same "shoot for the middle" approach that makes her music come off as dull and and safe. It feels like music made with focus groups. The most offensive thing art can be is inoffensive.

This should be album 1001 because you die from boredom. How did this even make the list? Was there nothing more relevant? The deeper down the list I get, the more I am convinced that this list was created by a bunch of dorks on a room just listing albums they've heard of. You do no need to hear this album before you die.

The production is not ambitious. Very little differentiation between the songs, which is a shame because as ballads they all need a bit more of their own personality to make the album bearable. The result is a very boring album. One of the most boring albums I have ever heard.

A popstar cosplaying as a blue collar woman sings sad songs during the pandemic, locked away in her estate. Vain, dull, redundant, trash. 1/10

Chemtrails Over The Country Club ist das siebte Studioalbum der US-amerikanischen Sängerin und Songwriterin Lana Del Rey. Die Produktion fand in verschiedenen Aufnahmestudios in den Vereinigten Staaten statt, unter anderem in Los Angeles und New York. Die Zusammenarbeit mit dem Produzenten Jack Antonoff, der bereits an früheren Projekten beteiligt war, prägt den Klang des Albums spürbar. Musikalisch bewegt sich das Werk im Spannungsfeld zwischen Alternative Pop, Folk und einem zurückhaltenden Indie-Sound. Viele Stücke sind von ruhigen Arrangements und introspektiven Texten geprägt. Klavier, akustische Gitarre und dezente elektronische Elemente schaffen eine melancholische Atmosphäre, die Lana Del Reys charakteristische Stimme untermalt. Inhaltlich greift das Album persönliche Themen auf, etwa Vergänglichkeit, familiäre Beziehungen oder ein Gefühl der Entfremdung. Songs wie „White Dress“ oder der Titeltrack „Chemtrails Over The Country Club“ geben Einblicke in Selbstwahrnehmung und die Auseinandersetzung mit öffentlicher Aufmerksamkeit. Auch „Tulsa Jesus Freak“ und „Dark But Just A Game“ bleiben durch ihre reduzierte Instrumentierung und stimmungsgeladene Texte im Gedächtnis. Die Produktion verzichtet weitgehend auf opulente Klangbilder und setzt stattdessen auf eine eher zurückgenommene Gestaltung. Dies verleiht dem Album einen ruhigen Fluss und lässt den Texten Raum zur Entfaltung. Die Handschrift der Interpretin ist dabei durchgehend erkennbar, sowohl in der Auswahl der Themen als auch in der Ästhetik. Chemtrails Over The Country Club ist ein introspektives Album, das auf stilistische Zurückhaltung setzt. Es richtet sich an Hörerinnen und Hörer, die eine ruhige, textzentrierte Klangwelt schätzen und Lana Del Reys Erzählweise bereits aus früheren Werken kennen.

Her voice is pretty, she has an interesting way of including American pop culture into somewhat deep lyrics. But as an album its just too much. Too much breathiness, to much melancholy, too much slow guitar, too much complaining about nothingness, just to much of everything. Also when you really listen to the lyrics they are not that deep or earth shattering. She just sings them with such a pretty sad emotional voice everyone thinks she is talking about such deep things. Breaking up Slowly was my favorite song, because of Nikki Lane, not Lana. I don't know if this all a defense mechanism, saying I like all the bad and then bragging about all the great things you have going on. For me its just whiny in an entitled way, not really deep or emotional. Just I have money, I like when my boyfriend drinks so I can do what I want, and I wander because I want to. You can get slightly sucked in but if you listen its just blah

So boring it's almost painful. I didn't especially enjoy the songwriting. Instrumentation is so sparse you might as well put a few pins dropping between the verses because that would be better than these choruses that are totally void of any sort of catchy melody. Maybe I just don't get it. Sometimes an album is pretty bad but in some over the top way to give it some creativity and I'm like "well at least that was different" I'll give it a 2. I'm just saying... At least AKF twigs had interesting sound textures. This is just one boring song after another so it's a special kind of sucks. Wild at Heart? please. this album is so tame it's one big beige lullaby. Not All Who Wander Are Lost. ya. That's a Tolkien quote. I doubt Lana has read a single Tolkien book because none of these songs are about wizards or rings. She just saw it on Instagram. Dance Till We Die? I'd love to but none of these songs are danceable so I guess that just leaves the dieing. Songs as vapid as Chemtrails. For more information, join a Country Club.

Lana Del Rey's music has always kind of annoyed me. I tried to brush that aside to give this an unbiased listen. Conclusion: gag me with a spoon. She's a talented lyricist, but the album feels like one big song that's slow and sad and painful to listen to. It was an excruciatingly long 45 minutes. The only part I found interesting was about 10 seconds of Dance Till We Die around the 3:00 mark. I don't get her appeal. Usually if an album at least sounds like music to me, it gets an automatic 2, but I was incredibly annoyed by the time this was over.

I really hated this. I hate her weird whispery voice, it was so boring it was aggravating. Barely any sound at all. Blech.

Her voice is interesting, but not my thing.

Basically one lullaby after another. I need some more coffee before I listen to another Lana del Rey album. The whispery and mumbly vocals got annoying after a while. Every song sounded the same, I can't distinguish between them at all. Exact same tone, peace and subject matter.

I guess she's popular because she's pretty

Not good. LDR ain't my jam. 1.5/5

gay gay toxic lesbian shit fucking whatever. her vocabulary was, like, whatever.

1.5 just not made for me

No. I know you are supposed to listen the whole album, but only managed three and a bit. Full of self-inflation and -importance, wannabe deep and thoughtful, in all the wrong ways, for me.

I don't tend to like modern music and this explains it. Maybe it's because I grew up listening to this garbage but it's probably just because it sucks. Boring lyrics, boring instrumentals and WAY too much whispering. I'm glad other people can manage to enjoy it but NOT ME!

- Not my thing

Heavily autotuned, uninspired crap. The lyrics are overly repetitive and they sound like they were written by a Hollywood writer. The music has been quantised to the point of no return and uses boringly basic melodies

deze zitting na enkele nummers afgesloten... wat was dat zeg....

I'm not sure what this is and what it's trying to be? It's all one note. To me it sounds like the kind of music made for short ten second sound bites for Tik Tok videos. All style over substance that people have fully bought into. It's about as real and deep and artistic as a filter. Boring, bland, fake and so so try hard to have some sort of edge. Best Tracks: Chemtrails Over the Country Club; Let Me Love You Like a Woman; Dark But Just a Game

No my thang baby

It's just fucking shit. Breaking Up Slowly was ok and Dance Till We Die put some much needed energy into this album but it's far from enough.

I feel as if I have heard this many times before by many different artists. Singer / songwriter folky stuff - not for me.

Meow meow meow sad

Not sure what this was, but it was sort of like Nora Jones without any soul. Hard pass

Dark But Just A Game is pretty cool! Don't kill me suburbia

Every song sounds the same. Very boring and bland.

0/5

LDR's waffle house jesus freak lyrical turn irritates me to no end. this is where it began and the music is nowhere near interesting enough to make up for it.

it's like less funny father john misty witticisms and melodrama. and also really boring.

horrible

She's got a great voice but damn is this album boring

A mediocre pop album filled with adolescent sensibilities. The engineering is top-rate. If I were a 13 year old girl I might like it. But I doubt it.

Cheer up love, it might never happen

Not for me!

Wow. Draw a nice warm bath, light some candles, get your favorite pack of razor blades. What a brooding sad depressive album.

I still don’t understand how this album is included on this list. I have only one word for this album: terrible.

I can't believe this woman actually has fans

Mostly boring album, not sure why it’s on this list

Not her best try at country folk. Sound soppy.

Its shit, don't know how its on the list. The songs are at an octave that she can't reach. That means that her voice breaks a lot of the time and I think she thinks it's sexy, souly & artistic. It's not....its really irritating. It's also very, very samey, and i didn't realise i was on the next song for most of the album. It's awful. 1.

She has a good voice and there isn't too much to really dislike here, it's just not really my thing at all. She can clearly write (assuming she wrote it). I thought Yosemite was the best track. 1 feels too harsh, but I'm never choosing to listen to this. 1.5 Sorry Lana

Boring, more like Lana Dull Rey

Don't test me. Managed half the first song. Life is too short to make the effort on dreary over-produced piss like this. Really don't feel this is essential at this point, maybe time will prove me wrong.

I love older lana but this was.... not it....

No.

What is this? Music for posh girls who know their parents would disowned them if they got into Emo music and dyed their hair black? Bored after 5 songs of being breathed at.

Lana Del Rey is boring me to death!

Ehh... again not my kinda music

Whiney, whisper alt pop. Not for me. 1/5

Did not enjoy a single songs

As a fan of Lana Del reys earlier work, I found Chemtrails Over The Country Club disappointing. There’s very little new here and what is new isn’t good. Probably the best song on the album — and it is a very good song- “Let Me Love You Like A Woman” is standard Del Rey fare. Released as a single at the end of 2020, it the kind of song that could have been on any of her albums. If the songs were all like “Let Me Love You Live a Woman”, good Lana Del Rey songs, the album would be worthwhile if not exciting. Unfortunately, there are some downright terrible songs on the album mixed in with a lot of forgettable tunes. One of the worst is "White Dress", which is just a hot mess of a song. There's so much to dislike, I could go on, but I will spare you all the irritation. I listened to this album so that you don't have to.

Boring

Not her best work

White dress sets the tone. Downatthemeninmusicbusinessconferenceeeeeeee. Someone was like yeah that doesn’t sound utterly horrible and totally flows well. Even scarier it’s one of the only starred songs on apple music. That’s as good as it gets. And it was true. It doesn’t get better. To the sound technicians… I see you. Your extensive autotune and echo effects are not in vain. Every song, echo effect. It’s an effect not a personality 💁‍♀️. Artsy Fartsy. My ears hurt. 1 Star. Dogwater. Poopy caca. Rubbish. Lana Del Rey. Garbage. Trash.

Wow

Lorde had been my least favorite. This is now that. At least the Lorde album had a royally terrible catchy song.

Dreary rubbish. Didn't finish it.

What the fuck is this? It's borderline unlistenable. I had an ear infection earlier this week that rendered me somewhat deaf. I was miserable and anxious to regain my hearing. Now, having regained my faculties, I'm wondering why one of the first things I did once recovering my faculties was to subject myself to this dogshit Lana Del Ray album. Think I'll treat my ears to something preferable, like audio of children screaming on a long haul flight, or the 1812 Overture played entirely on car alarms. You know, as a treat.

I usually enjoy her voice, but this album was dreadfully boring. To be honest, this barely qualifies as 'music' to me - it seems much more like uninteresting rambling to her personal diary. Nothing on this album stood out to me in any way. Boring songs, no variation, very little instrument on most tracks, extremely uninteresting lyrics. This album was bad, and she should feel bad. 1/10

meh

If "1001 albums" is still being published in 2026, 5 years after this album's release, will it still make the cut? I doubt it. I award this album 1 well watered plant, courtesy of your friendly local music exec. 🪴

• The only Lana Del Rey song I’ve heard before today is Summertime Sadness, which I admittedly don’t mind • The high pitched whisper vocals throughout White Dress are awful and I really hope they aren’t a running theme throughout the album • The whole album is super repetitive • At least Dance Till We Die sounds different to the other tracks • Being an album released in 2021, I feel like every song was written to be radio or TikTok hits, rather than to be listened as an album. I don’t think it should be considered an album you must hear before you die, and I won’t be listening to anything from it again. Favourite song: Dance Till We Die

One good song and that was a Joni Mitchell cover with other people singing.

Do not like lana's singing style, like every word takes a tremendous effort to pronounce. The whole album is a blur of similar sounding songs. Hard to finish this album.

I thought at some point she was gonna stop whispering but nah

Yeah, nope.

Her voice annoys me. I like strong resonant voices, not this whispery weak sounding stuff.

That was a boring as anything I've heard in a long while.

Not a fan. Ambien music.

Not really sure how this is one of the best albums of its release date, much less all time. I just found it so boring.

First, very few albums are so iconic in their first year that they become "a must-listen to before you die" status. Second, of those albums that are, they were game changers that spoke to current events (What's Going On), or forever changed the sound of music (Elvis, The Beatles). Lan Del Rey's "Chemtrails Over The Country Club" does neither. Moving on from the worthiness of being on such a list, this album is still meh. The vocals are repetitive and whiny while the music is flat. This is my 254th generated album and it is the first that I've stopped listening to before making it the blissful end. I've grudged through a lot of bad albums, this one takes the cake. Congratulations Lana, my first one star review goes to you.

Jestem zaniepokojony iloscia nowozytnych pickow ostatnio, bo o istnieniu tej plyty nie mialem pojecia przed dniem dzisiejszym, bo nie ma w niej zbyt wielu radiowych czy telewizijnych hitow, albo szczesliwie ich unikalem, bo plyta ma ledwie ponad rok, bo marzec 2k21, ale nie zmienia to faktu, ze juz przed odsluchem mialem wizje katuszy, a 45 minut i 11 trakow pozniej jestem w stanie stwierdzic, ze byly to prorocze wizje, bo pani Lana Del Rey, przez prawie dekade nie zmienila sie nic a nic, nadal tworzy muzyke idealna pod swoja wykreowana persone smutnej kobiety, ktora wypelnila pustke wielu nastoletnich serc wczesnych lat 2k1x, bo kto nie jak pani Lana, czy raczej Elizabeth Woolridge Grant stworzyla kariere na nostalgii polaczonej z motywem slabej i smutnej kobiety, wiec dobre polaczenie dla kupienia serc nastoletnich dziewczyn, ktore podchodzac do swiata w idealistyczny sposob ciagna jak do miodu w historie nieszczescia i samobojczej milosci, ktore nie jestem w sobie wyobrazic jak, ale od 10 lat i 7 albumow potrafi ona nadal sprzedawac, ale z pozytywnych zaskoczen, to mniej tutaj tej szopkowej powagii barokowych kompozycji porzuconych na rzecz bardziej folkowych, czy americanowych brzmien, ktore sa zasluga pana Jacka Antonoffa, ktory wyprodukowal jej trzy ostatnie albumy, a takze udziela sie na nich instrumentalnie, a ja kojarze go z materialu Arizona Baby od pana Abstracta, zmienily sie instrumentale, ale rowniez wokalnie brzmi to jakos mniej forsowanie, nadal czuc wyraznie persone smutnej pani, ale nie juz z takiej wysokosci, co nie boli az tak w uszy jak na kawalkach z ktorych glownie kojarzylem artystke, wiec pierwszy album z jakze bogatej dyskografii wysluchany, zawiera on najlepsze co od niej slyszalem, ale nadal jest to mocne 2/10, co w przeliczeniu na gwiazdki daje jedynke, ale jednak nie tak tragiczna jak pewnie bym dal born to die, dziwne jest to jak artystka potrafi zamknac sie przez prawie dekade w jednej personie i odcinac tylko kupony, bo Lana Del Rey zawsze bedzie dla mnie jedna z najbardziej farbowanych artystek, od ktorej sztucznosc sztuki az bije w oczy, popelnilem kardynalny blad i zguglowalem reddita fangejowatego del rey zeby wybadac jak to wyglada z pisaniem liryki u niej, bo jedynie bylem swiadkiem kamieniowania niewiernego

Did not listen

Sorry Rooker!

Lana Del Rubbish!

We all yearned for groundbreaking follow ups to her debut, but this is not that. The vocals on the first track are woeful- was it on purpose?

Mediocre folk/americana. Very slow. Bland and overproduced. Favorite Track: None Relisten: No
