Just watched this, and I'm definitely on Timothy's side now. This video made me see through Melanie, and I kind of knew deep down that she wasn't all that innocent, but this kind of confirmed it for me. I know nothing has been revealed in this video or anything, but I dunno.. Just going over all of the information again has made me wish that I didn't start supporting her again. 

.....yall hated FROOT when it came out but all of the sudden it's a masterpiece

imagine being this deaf

Omg quit complaining so much and just enjoy the album jesus christ
 
We waited FOUR YEARS FOR THIS! We will ENJOY IT EVEN IF WE DON'T WANNA!

To give insight to my opinion, I've been a hardcore stan since 2012. 
 
And honestly, I was not disappointed with this album. Some of the songs are not really good (I'm looking at you, Superstar.) Some of the lyrics are a bit strange (the 'towels' line in NMS) but as someone mentioned before, it feels reminiscent of her quirky lyrics from TFJ ('we are the spoons...'). Some of the melodies and production feel a little bit repetitive but it's refreshing to see her embracing genuine electropop. I would've liked to see PDCM and TNWWY on the album as I feel they fit more than some of the songs on it but I'm not mad as we have heard parts of both of them.  FEAR>LOVE. 
 
I was at Neon Gold X when she premiered Emotional Machine and honestly, I was a little disappointed, but after hearing the studio version it is definitely a highlight of the album.  I'm so glad that BROODS provided backing vocals for the song and it wasn't just for the live performance.  It adds to much to the song! Life is Strange has been on repeat too (but fuck that cheering sample).  That cello though!  Karma sounds exactly like a Clean Bandit song (almost a WIL reject..) so I wasn't really surprised that Jack produced it.  I could see them pushing that as a single.  I also wish we never got that You snippet last year because I feel like I had expectations for that song that weren't met.  It's a cute little bop though. 
 
I'm not sure how I would rank this against her other albums.  I feel like I don't have an accurate gauge on how to rank them because her first three albums are so overplayed for me that my opinion might be skewed. 
 
Overall, as a hardcore stan, I feel like the four years was worth the wait. This album is the pop album I desperately wanted FROOT to be following EH. I find myself relating to a lot of the themes throughout the album, and that's part of why I love Marina so much.  I do definitely understand the criticism that it's a bit ~basic~ but I do not think basic music is bad.  I love how distinct all 4 albums are, and how cohesive they are.  L+F is extremely cohesive, and I'm happy to see how much she has matured in her thought process and that she has a positive outlook on life now.  I'm happy that she's happy!

Omg congrats on your pregnancy!

why ppl dont leak 320kbps quality like they used to? lol

i cant believe she called her best album a piece of crap :toofunny:  my hope for the new album has been demolished,
 
no kidding, this is actually really sad. art angels is the album that made me a stan, it's such an awesome record and makes me think of a crazy, retro, colourful anime video game, like driving through space on a rainbow road with fairy angels whistling at you (super mario kart???) fucKKK
 
love her so much

Just read this on the Genius lyrics page.
 
Plath published a book called “The Bell Jar” one month prior to her suicide, she referred to be a look back to her experiences as though looking into a bell jar, which distorted into a work of fiction. In the book, she tells her story about a girl who struggled with depression but achieved her goals almost in an autobiographical way. In real life, Plath tried to take her own life writing that “she was succumbed to the whirling blackness” serving as parallel to the blackness Lana has been feeling.

On a lighter note, I replied to somebody earlier saying they had a dream they heard You and it was amazing, I literally just woke up from a dream where I heard it and it was 3 minutes of slow jazz percussion and then the snippet we’ve heard right at the last 10 seconds. Why am I trolling myself like this. Lmao.

I saw someone mention we should make this a thread a few hundred pages ago in the NFR Pre-Release thread and couldn’t find one. This is a thread for the lies she’s told us and the unfulfilled promises that will probably never actually happen.
 
So I’m starting it.
 
Let’s start off with some of the more obvious lies:
 
2012: “I’d like to re-release (remake?) my first album [AKA]”
2012: "I'm going to release a video for Dark Paradise"
2017: “I’m thinking about releasing an album of 25 favorite unreleased tracks”
2017: "I'm going to release a video for Cherry"
2017: "Yosemite and BAR will be released as folk singles - possibly in a folky EP."
2018: “Norman Fucking Rockwell will be released top of the new year [2019]”
2019: "Violet will be out Jan 4" [Source]
May 2020: "I'll be releasing my album (Chemtrails) September 5"
Nov. 2020: "I'm going to digitally release an album of covers for you for Christmas"

I haven't been on lanaboards in a few weeks and..... There's still nothing going on with this album. Where are you Lana?!?!?!? WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?! YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE US HANGING LIKE THIS!
