Ultra Violet

I agree with the last point because the first version is the most perfect imo. I would never had needed the rest.

Me too! And I've thought about why, many times. When UV was released, my first experience listening to the full album of course started with CW and I was so shook. It was so raw and the energy was angry, crazy, chill, despairing and carefree, emotions I cycled through over and over that year too. The length also really lets me sink into it and get lost. I swear I will never really get over it.

Great Gig in the Sky

Lana still makes good music, but it just isn't the best music. She used to be the highlight of my ipod and Android music app, and that's just not how it is anymore. But even if she doesn't make music that slams me to my knees anymore, it's still good music because I still recommend it to others. There's still several songs that I would tell people that haven't heard her music in years to check out. And those songs are (probably the real unpopular opinions here)

Myspace must have really been her favourite era

As someone who doesn't have tiktok I can't speak for it but yes I can see that tiktok has so much of that power And yeah Lana was in every corner of tumblr, even the goths loved her (which is how she slipped over to my dash lol)

Flux in 5 days Flux is still that song btw.

Wow this has completely shifted my view of the song individually AND as the album opener! thank you!

me too. i wish everyone would know that I 100% accept and support lanas decision around this, but i will 100% also continue to think and speculate about it until we see light of something coming

why are some peoples random thoughts being taken so seriously here

So i don't know anything about Slayyyter but a couple of months ago I found Hello Kitty and BFF and replayed the shit out of them for weeks. I didn't really like anything else I heard but I love her overall vibe, and I can't wait for her discography to grow bc I know I'll love more in the future

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so about skinnydipped. I was keen at first but I haven't relistened more than 3 times. Hopefully skinnydipped is just another "Look What You're Doing To Me" situation and the rest of the album is killer.

I honestly think tumblr was the best social media to push her music forward. Lana didn't even have to try, but the sheer amount of interviews she did in 2011-2012 must have been the next best. I don't think she'll ever get that same kind of attention from fans again, or that much of a boost to her career again. And please don't tell me she doesn't even want a boost. I know. I'm just reflecting on that period.

This is all I've been reading in the last few pages. Then in the end, the same comments get upvoted over and over when they really have no relevance to the original comment that started it all because most of the post was ignored

I genuinely had no idea there was anything going on. I want to catch up but I think I should wait till it's all out to see it. I never finished 1984 because it wasn't worth waiting a week for each episode, so maybe binging it all at once will make it good lol.

Oh right yeah I've heard that in person. Someone told me they didn't like her because she's "too manufactured"

Has it actually ever been suggested that Lana doesn't write her own music? I didn't know this

Manifesting good album trailers for promo posted straight to YouTube, instead of instagram posts that lie to us

If this current BB era is her Ultraviolence throwback, then I'm hoping the 'no social media' will lead to her private Honeymoon throwback era next

Yes! This is the main reason I feel so positive about this! I don't expect it to be the exact same as before (pre-LFL), but that's also why I'm so interested to see what happens.

That is really cute aw. She sounds so sweet

I think it's best for her, and her music too- when just the other day I was talking about how the social media references in her music are annoying... It would be cool if Lana's actions here encouraged younger people to step back from it too, like Mars Argo's iconic "delete your facebook", but let's face it, us stans are a TYPE of people and we need to talk constantly about everything I hope she at least takes a year or two break, but I'm certainly going to be paying more attention to any interviews or videos posted from now on. I'm not openly begging her to become elusive again, but I just have a good feeling about this.

Im so surprised to say this but I agree. It's her best cover. Along with the 3rd one that Neil posted. She finally made a good choice after 6 years.

What does "invite" mean in this context?
