It’s not just the mic- Lana has shown many times she’s 10x more vocally accomplished than someone like Billie but’s inconsistent as hell. This is likely due to poor practice and smoking- you can’t blame the mic for everything when there’s dozens of musicians who have mic issues and still sound good- an in ear issue could be the case in which case she should fire and rehire and a new technician

I agree her fanbase seems to be predominantly composed of women and "queer men," as you call them. But no one considers Elvis Presely's or Frank Sinatra's music men's music, or Led Zepplin's, Jeff Buckely's, or 21 Pilots'  either. There is misogyny involved insofar as some men seem to automatically think of Lorde's or Lana's music as women's music, when I don't think they would say the same thing about, say, Amy Winehouse. 
 
Unfortunately, too many people think in a kind of cultural shorthand that actually doesn't involve thinking on their part, just the spontaneous acceptance of outdated cultural stereotypes. 
 
Among the young, I'm happy to see heterosexual-leaning male high school athletes unselfconsciously buying and wearing pink shorts, sneakers, or Crocs without even considering "but pink is for girls." 
 
I do think, culturally, we're moving in the right direction in that regard, at least among the young—which is where it counts.

Did she listen to their music with the volume down? 

What she’s saying she wants from the album isn’t coming across so far- there’s a random ocean theme but she wants Brit pop inspired songs, rave moments and psychedelia inspired production.
 
she also counted massive Attack and Primal Scream as a major influence.
 
where is this reflected in any of the imagery or songs so far? I just can’t imagine that she’s got what she wanted from her songs.

Because the music is still FN p2 and the world has moved on from disco and 90s house inflected dance pop unless you’re Ariana grande- she’s added some bass guitar from tame impala songs and called it a day to classify as “psychedelic” when it’s nothing of the sort.
 
her image is also very safe and boring- none of the era links together thematically or sonically and she or management have no idea what they want from her as a popstar so I’ll be surprised if she’s a major popstar in 2 years.
Add to that- mutiple film gigs being booked which seem to try to gauge her as a celebrity name but it’s not working and it’s clearly her trying to pivot for other options in case the one career doesn’t work out

right like the combination of like.. peaceful ocean optimism and psychedelic funk is so random… i mean not that we’re really getting psychedelia besides some funky tame impala guitars but!
 
usually fan concepts feel corny and whatever but the whole high concept hitchcock vertigo concept everyone was running with prior to the album announcement would’ve been so good… sigh 

We've all known she's dumb since spring breakers was shelved

not her performing Von Dutch and singing the wrong lyrics when the song has like 6 sentences in total

And as a true aquarius, I don’t agree w most of y’all saying this is the best from the 3 singles she released lmao
Really liked Houdini and LOVED Training Season, but Illusion is kinda… boring? The verses are really good and also the bridge, but the chorus is meh. Chorus sounds like it’s straight out of FN, note by note, and you’re there like “uh, this again?”

I've never seen someone so beautiful have the charisma of a half chewed Mars Bar.

don’t love illusion… its kinda meh? houdini is still my favorite by farrrr 
 
i hate to say it but since i discovered her via hotter than hell… this is the most boring she’s ever been in my eyes 
 
i know it’s early on and i tbh hate to be so negative but this album just feels like there isn’t anything special about it, and the past two songs just feel the same, i feel like any pop girl could put them out
 
also i saw someone say this album just feels like a combination of excuses so that she can tax-write-off her vacations as work-trips and i can’t stop thinking about it 😭😭😭
