    I don't have much to say really.

     

    Ride - 3.5/4 - Gets messy towards the end, it's catchy - but I'm just not a huge fan of it.

     

    American 3/5 - The instrumental is lovely, but I'm not a fan of it lyrically.

     

    Cola - 4.5/5 - I really like it, great song. Not perfect, but a great song. My favorite song off the album.

     

    Body Electric (no rating) - I have conflicting opinions since I have no clue what direction she had in mind with this song. The live performances make me think of classic horror, give me memories of films like Carnival of Souls, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, not sure why - those films always pop into mind. But the studio version, and this applies to Gods & Monsters also, make me think of Grimm's Fairy Tales and Goblin's scores for Dario Argento's work - more specifically Suspiria and some of the score for Profondo Rosso. I'm unsure what I think about this song.

     

    Blue Velvet - 4.5/5 - Great cover. I love it. The moans at the beginning I could certainly do without, they feel so forced.

     

    Gods & Monsters - 2.5/5 - I love the opening, but not the rest of the song. It feels really melodramatic.

     

    Yayo - 3/5 - It's not the AKA version, but it's still good.

     

    Bel Air - 3.5/5 - Not a huge fan of it, it'll probably be a grower.

     

    Burning Desire - 4/5 - I really enjoy this song. It's great for car rides for sure. I always feel like I'm speeding through LA when I listen to it.

     

    Overall rating: 3.9/5

    "Tropico" was a tag for the Paradise Edition preview video...as was "Super Cannes". Could it be premiering at the Cannes Film Festival?

     

    It kind of matches the timeline she previously mentioned for the soundtrack she was working on.

     

    I also just googled "tropico film" and stumbled upon this mysterious ass website: http://tropicofilm.com/

     

    Nice catch Sitar! I always think about how she said Cannes but never put the two together. It'd be cool if it does premiere at Cannes.

    Born to Die: "Afterlife" edition

    Born to Die: "Reincarnation" edition

    Born to Die: Alabama Pepsi cola trailer park fireworks on the Fourth of July in 90 degree weather edition

    Etc.

     

    But I'm really curious what she means by "Tropico" - I love the mystery of it. I agree also that she should've posed with the smoke for the album cover. It'd fit the sound of the album.

    when the song is over.

     

     

     

    Agreed. Whenever I listen to the song now, I'm somewhat forcing myself. It collects dust on my Lana playlist, it sits there untouched mostly.

     

    I feel the same way with Gods & Monsters, it's so melodramatic. The lyrics make me cringe also in some parts. Also the husky voice does not help my views on the song at all.

     

    The production though works in some spots, but overall Gods & Monsters is a slightly better Dark Paradise that I'll most likely leave in the corner of my Lana playlist to collect dust.

    Gorl, everyone loves DP, what kind of flop people do you know?

     

    I liked DP for a week then I stopped listening to it because it sounded so melodramatic. I'll listen to it every now and then but not as often as any other song on BTD. I feel the same about Gods & Monsters after one listen.

    Thank you guys so much! Your nice comments really keep me inspired to keep editing. Tweeted it to Lana a few times, I hope one day she'll notice! I hope with time this weekend I can edit a Jealous Girl video and a Cola video!

    my favorite ep of real housewives EVER and I love that lizzy grant watched it (and new jersey, too!)

    "It's too bad. Allison is the only credible medium out there"

     

    Greatest episode of the show IMO. "Lucifer has many faces" = death of me. I loved Camille.

    I'm sure it will sell, but if Gaga is the image Donutella wants to have for her line, then i can see why Lana wouldn't be a choice.

     

    Gaga is not very attractive and more extreme in her fashion, not an insult, but thats what she is. Lana is beautiful and softer and classic in her style. Clearly Donutella is looking for something more out there.

     

    Lana is better for a company that is subtle, demure and sensual.

     

    From what I've read on Tumblr - allegedly Donatella is sending Versace downhill. I have no clue why though, it's just that seems to be somewhat of a popular opinion?
