Totally agree, i don't know why at this point of her career, instead of growing and experimenting new sounds she's pleasing all the teenagers who want to return at BTD era.

My problem with Love / BAR is that it sounds too manufactured.
I mean, I loved Ultraviolence & Honeymoon because they were independant from what people was waiting. It was popy but not easy, it was atypical.
But those two new songs are like syntheses of BTD, PARADISE, UV + HONEYMOON, for some kind of a fan-service strategy. And I deeply don't like it.
As @Constentine says, Emile's samples are too much. It was cool on BTD / P because it was new, but so much years later, it don't feels like before. It's just some kind of uninspired deja-vu gadget.
 
And in this two new songs I can't aim to localize the sounds. All the previous records was really warm, like seaside, west coasts hot vibes, or some times classy east coast vibes too. But here, it's not warm, but it's not cold. It's just some radio thing. And I can't see anything retro. I mean, a lot of people are saying there's something retro in "Love", but sorry, listen to real retro music, and there's nothing retro in Love. It just sounds like radio versions of LDR songs. Lyrics are really great, and I'm sure the songs could be great as f, but the actual production is really weak, uninspired and unrisky.
 
I understood why Born To Die was that pop, and heavily produced, but in 2017 I don't understand that whole stepback thing.
BTD and Paradise was uniques at their respective times. We don't need a third segment today.
Hope the whole album will not be like that.

I'm totally agree with you. She is a unique artist and coming back to BTD( as unfortunately seems with Love, that is very poor compare to Lana's standard, especially with her last two records..) just to please most of her fans, will be a big regression for her career as an artist with big quality.

Exactly, I don't want to see Lana make garbage music like J. Bieber and 90% of "artists" who we listen to radio every day. I've started to follow LDR because she have always been herself and she've always made music who she wanted to do, without thinking about charts and sales. I'm proud of Lana for this reason and i don't want to see her becoming mainstream like all the others.

It's very sad when we only talking about charts and sales, instead of music quality, that in my opinion is the only important thing, especially for an artist like Lana, who has never been an hitmaker( fortunately).

But like who actually says that?

I complain because it's annoying af to see y'all whining 24/7
It's not like Lana is a commercial artist anyway. Her stage production doesn't need a high budget and I was never too fond of her MVs, even back in BTD days, so I don't care much for them either. Love is an exception, that one's great.
Considering Lana's stage fright and desire to not perform on TV, we would not benefit in any way of her being succesful. Just enjoy the music and give up on that idea of mainstream Lana already, it's not going to happen

I feel the same, i don't want to Lana become a pop stars like the others. From UV i started following her and fell in love with her unique style and if the direction of the record is what we have heard with Love, it'll be huge disappointment.

I'm disappointed, with UV and HM we know what she be able to do and this song, in my opinion, is a regression. I hope all album doesn't sound like this.

Just a matter of taste. In my opinion this song is too weak as a first single, too common and too flat for her artistic potential. It sounds like anyone of her unreleased. After two little jewels like UV and HM, my expectations was too higer than this.

I think exactly the same thing and i'm very disappointed by that. Lana is unique and i love her because what she does is what she want to do, without thinking about charts, sales ecc ecc. Lead single like West Coast are a perfect example of what i've just said. With Love seems that someone has forced her to make something commercial, something that probably she wouldn't do. She can do infintely better than this and i hope new record sound totally different by the single, otherwise it will be a big regression for her ad an artist.
