    Lust for Life title track. The music video makes it more obvious.
    13 Women = 13 Beaches
    She's a genius, that is all.

    Tbh, any backlash she gets for using Black Dahlia should just stop before it ages as poorly as nearly all of her controversies do. 
     
    The album was very frankly about the feminine body in many moments. I'm surprised people can praise A&W without realizing how integral that is to that song, and how that song kinda exists as the thesis to the record as a whole thematically (and even in how it is produced.)
     
    I love how Brian De Palma/American Horror Story can basically make an entire movie/season of TV about the murder, but the second a woman decides to do her own perspective of the way it affected pop culture and American anxieties, it's suddenly so controversial for reasons that the men who approach it never face. 
     
    Edit: I'm also not surprised that murder is going to be part of the music video for Candy Necklace. The song itself really reminded me of songs on Nick Cave's Murder Ballads album. And it's genius that she released the 'screen test', considering that's mainly how Elizabeth Short is presented in the Brian De Palma film.

    I'll never be able to be someone who can outright hate a Lana album. I can rank them, sure, but like if I did, Lust for Life would be at the bottom, but it's still an incredible album in its own right. Maybe its because I'm not one to judge an album based on a track-by-track approach, which is fine if others do, but I try to interpret albums as wholes rather than how many of the songs I think are individually great (for example, there's a couple songs on BB that I don't return to or find just decent, but it doesn't cause me to rank it below Born to Die, even though BtD has a more steady group of songs I'd call fantastic.) 
     
    Lana is one of the few pop artists nowadays that every album she does is with a concept and its own contained story. It's why I won't crap on the interludes on Tunnel. Sure, I won't listen to Judah hardly ever by itself, but the atmosphere it provides the album as a whole is integral, and it's not like it's thematically or personally without intention. I'm a raging atheist, but I can empathize with individuals who practice faith without immediately throwing them into the ills of the bad doings of their institutions.

    There are songs on Tunnel that are individually peak works of art (A&W doesn't need more praise, it's just magnificent; shocked some don't like Kintsugi or Fingertips, but understand if that's because people don't always care about lyrics like someone like me does), but Paris, Texas is probably my personal favorite in terms of the track on this album that hits me the closest. It's the California, Nectar of the Gods of this tracklist. Songs that hit me in some subconscious level and make me want to cry.

    i mean, being a fan of someone doesn’t mean we can’t think an album is personally disappointing 
     
    she really does have such a broad range and obviously not every song/album is gonna appeal to everyone, and i think it’s a little silly to call someone a fake fan or whatever for their personal taste, doesn’t really have anything to do with respecting that she stays true and authentic 
     
    i love the album but i just hate the narrative that everyone has to like everything their fav artist puts out or else they’re not a real fan

    It's what she deserves.
    Has to be one of the most relatable songs she's done to date.

    I agree, I don't understand how some "fans" can call an album average and disappointing... We have to stop thinking that Lana makes music for us in the first place. Some of us forget that but it's funny because that's why we love her! She stays authentic despite the critics and she stands out. The fact that she is closer to religion has also played a big part in her journey, so I understand and think that is essential in her music.
