Hundred Dollar Bill

It doesn't do anything for me..
Everyone knows how much I love the loon, but it just sounds thrown-in to me. The song doesn't sound nearly as exciting, dramatic, or emotional as most other songs from BTD. Emile and Lana can both do better. Maybe I will grow to like it more, but it just feels bland.

Oh how I've missed the Loon.

When was the last time you touched yourself inappropriately?

She is so unbelievably nice and sweet and so fucking pretty, oh my GOD. She came

out in the snowy ass weather with a huge scarf wrapped around her head.

She waved at us and shouted "Hiii! Wanna take some pictures?!" She's the best, you guys. UGH

i'd but i didnt buy it, im not a fan lol i saw a thread on ATRL and wanted to share with the bjork fans here :/ 

After giving it a proper listen (had it on repeat for like an hour last night ) I realized this is a step back for Emile. I fell in love with Falling Apart, and along with A Kiss Goodbye it was an indicator of growth in his style so I had high hopes for W84L. But it's like he's got a formula for Lana and he's not quitting it any time soon: the same beat, strings, chords and the omnipresent loon he overused in BTD... I love the Hawaiian intro and the bridge, but the rest of the song is just okay.
But hey we've been critizing a lot lately, let's put that aside and simply sway to the music like Lana taught us

I want an album closer for Honeymoon along the lines of My Best Days.. it seems really fitting in my mind. Like, I'm definitely here for some happier Lana songs, but the longing & reminiscent vibe of My Best Days would be such a great way to close an album with the title Honeymoon in my opinion..
 
Also some of y'all are so rude ew.

You have such narrow vision.
 
OK. Huge difference between "UV is an amazing quality piece of work! :)" and directly responding to someone who's pleasantly appreciating something they love w a "UV has no quality"
 
Like girl for real you've been so rude in this thread.
 
No one who's praising the album needs to be preached to because they're simply appreciating something they like. The problem was that someone was simply talking about an album they like and you made an ugly rude response to them basically saying it's trash, and then bitching at anyone who called you out by saying they're not letting you speak your mind. Yet you were the first person criticizing someone for giving THEIR opinion on UV.

I have pretty much everything uploaded on dropbox if you'd like. Hearts & bones etc are all vespertine demos. And yeah I'm assuming Komio is a typo of Komid. Atlantic was the b-side to Human Behaviour and was on the Japanese release of Debut, and Play Dead was a for a soundtrack and was included on a reissue of Debut.

What is actually going on here at this place, like...????   
 
Some of you should really consider stanning for Emile rather than Lana, tbqfh.
 
The intro of the song is lovely, but afterwards she loses me. In the end, it's not her song, she only gave the vocals and that's okay for me.
 
The annoying "OMG this is what UV should have sounded like" is so annoying and disrespectful towards Lana with all my respect for different tastes.
 
Maybe after the next era the annoying loon stans will finally realise that if they wanna stan Loon they should better ditch Lana. 

That's not true at all.
 
I've always been a big Lynch fan and recognized his influence in her work immediately. I then found a pre-BTD interview in which Lana mentioned being struck by Twin Peaks: FWWM. People in her audiences during the early NY bar days mentioned her similarities to his work and she incorporated elements of his work into her own to convey a similar message.
 
Sorry that I'm ~*pretentious*~ for being a big Lynch fan and simply noticing his influence.

You know good and damn well that you picked out some of her least ambiguous lyrics there. Much of what she writes does have an allegorical element to it...the other user is correct. Even those lyrics aren't meant to be taken at face value.. Much of BTD was very Lynchian in its criticism of modern American values. Inversely, Video Games shows her appreciation of the small things in life.
 
The Body Electric lyrics allude to her relationship with icons and the way in which she crafts her artistic persona. That happens to be my least favorite Lana lyric, though.

@@SitarHero How the fak do you not give "Heartbreak High" 5 stars?? Like you even gave that to "B!TCH ZO SXC" 

I don't think there's anything more important about a Lana era than the music itself, period. But seriously, works of art shouldn't have to be explained by their artists on stage or something. Art is meant to be studied and through that the meaning will be revealed. That's what is so interesting about almost every form of art whether it's literature, music, or visual. It'd be boring if she explained everything perfectly. Where would be the mystique, the star power, or the elusiveness that makes Lana what she is? You completely don't understand who and what she is as an artist and it makes me feel like you're mentally lazy for wanting her to spell everything out for you so you can "get" it. That's what makes me think you're just not going to last as a fan of hers. Might as well give it up now. 
 
And I'm not saying I WANT her to release the album and vanish. But I'm merely saying she completely has the option to, just like any other artist. She isn't our barbie doll to play dress up with and to make dance and sing whenever we want to. Leave that for someone like Katy Perry who willingly puts herself in that kind of position. But the option to release something and not have to shove it into people's faces through performances and interviews IS a legitimate way to do things. Look at Prince, Kate Bush, Bjork, David Bowie... None of them feel the need to do all that. It'd be perfectly fine if they did, but they don't. I just don't understand why you have to keep pushing so hard for her to do anything other than make music. She's said before that that's what she enjoys doing: writing and making the music itself. 
 
 
If you are just so fed up with the way Lana does things then I suggest you give up on her. Artists generally become even more reclusive with age, so BTD may have been the most outgoing Lana you'll ever get. Enjoy the MUSIC!!!

I'm extremely happy with the album, but I really wish it hadn't leaked (unless they all end up being demos, but I doubt that).
 
Quicksand is the only one that I think sounds demo-y and sounds considerably lower quality than all the other song files. It kinda cuts off at the end, too.
