luckily i was never a big fan of any of her videos so I am not as disappointed as others but this one really must be her worst yet.

I actually thought my pussy eating prediction woyld come true for a second, she dipped low xxxx

Like, i just dont think WM does ANYTHING for the album as a single. Its cute but so filler, then this pretty but boring video.....i just dont get why she released it considering all the options on the album....its weird.

Well it's official. Her weakest music video to date.

I waited all this time for this? 

I just watched the vid while listening to BAR, and it's too obvious it was made for this song... It matches BAR so much, it would've been perfect. White Mustang doesn't even match

TOUR DATES

I didn't really like it but I still creamed.

Lana looks beautiful
 
the cinematography is beautiful
 
the love interest is ugly

Finland, get yourself together 

Which one of you jumped on stage?

You'd rather the type of adidas leggings i lounge around my house in than these??

I miss the iconic beautiful lace dresses she used to wear on tour, I'm sorry but that outfit is a mess 

She needs to work with Dan Auerbach forever.

Me when i steal Lana's laptop and take it to court in search of justice for Yosemite and Life is beautiful only for her to find nothing but a G-sleazy collab and a bunch of Coachella demo's

Am I the only one who feels like Lust for Life is almost like a rock opera about a specific, newly-cultivated persona? I thought of this after seeing this image the other day and just loving how everything ties together 
 

 
The character doesn't have a name, so let's just go with Lana. But basically, Lana is a semi-reclusive witch, or an alien from the planet Daisyworld idk (daisies are obviously a motif) who has lived for generations, or at least she was alive during the last world war (because of WTWWAWWKD), endowed with powers of making people happy (or sad) that she could never control because she didn't understand herself enough. So she's always observed from her perch within the Hollywood sign, occasionally coming down to Earth (ie on Tuesdays) and sitting on the fire escapes of the city at night and listening to the hustle and bustle of society. But then came a breaking point where Lana finally decided that she needed to become a part of the world. The album is a journey through the stars, looking down from above, and through the Earth, finding beauty in these dark times, in an attempt to salvage America and the world. And she's doing it all from smack in the middle of Hollyweird.

which one of y'all is this

This era is a fucking trainwreck in terms of aesthetic. I have no idea what the hell she was trying to go for and I know I sound super aggressive, but looking back at her previous eras it's just like...what happened?
UV, for me, remains her best. The attire, the photoshoots, the music it all mashed up so well together. It was able to bring out a specific theme that suits the era so nice. I don't know if it was just pure luck, but I look back at almost any UV shoot and it just speaks the era, if that makes sense. It's a shame how short lived it was, though. As for BTD, all I'll say is it was a well done, exciting era, especially it being done for 2 years. We had so many magazine shoots, interviews, performances, and some of her best music videos to date. The aesthetic, while not being as specific as UV, did have a theme that could range from gangsta nancy sinatra, to a glamorous moody siren, to a soft melancholy nostalgia of 50's/60's americana. It suits Lana wonderfully.
I could never say the same for this era. It's confusing what she's trying to go for here. The album is wonderful, but the era is not the full package is what I'm trying to get at here. I don't even know what the hell I'm talking about anymore so I'm just gonna take a nap, but overall, I agree with everything you said.

I'm fucking dead. Doing a review in a minute but let it be clear that I'm typing it from my grave because I am fucking dead

At least she looks pretty
 

These dance routines and the girls aren't working. She needs to go back to the stripped version of her show, with strings in small intimate venues, those were her best shows. Even rock Lana is much better than what she attempted during LFL.

I'm gonna get a lot of hate but it was pretty mediocre. Apart from the fabulous high notes she did. I'm glad she felt brave enough to push the boundaries. I think the reason why it was so mediocre is because it was the same old set list apart from LFL and Cherry. What annoyed me most was how her voice kept on getting taken over by the instruments so it kind of ruins then experience.

I was one of those who bitched around about professional live performances. Well after these two performances I have to reconsider it. I have to resign to the fact that Lana is a studio singer, she obviously doesn't enjoy these performances, they became stalled, she wears the same outfits and they play the same videos behind her over and over again. She clearly didn't upped her live game enough and after almost 5 years of touring talking about nerves is just a lame excuse anymore. She was beautiful but her heart wasn't in it, she ran of the stage as she never wanted to be there in the first place. She has glimpses of magic during her shows and the fans usually capture them and frankly never gets better than those

sometimes i do think its kinda awkward but it's somehow cute...
maybe it's just because she's not familiar with the dance move.... 
 
i really wish the backup dancers are literally just "BACKUP" dancers. they always stand in front of her, and block the view from the audience
 
what it is supposed to be:

 
what it is in real life

Well, after I saw her live version of LFL I have to say that she needs to invest much more in her live shows if she wants to mantain a high profile career. Her fandom is getting thin and she'll never get new fans with performances like this. She can sing but she needs to prepare these layered songs better and she needs to learn to move and to be more expresive on stage. Her shows are still devoid of energy which can work with Ride, BTD or VG type of songs but not with LFL.The backup dancers were a nice idea but they seem redundant now, I think that she needs some quality backup singers instead. It was sad to see her in the afternoon, performing before a disconnected crowd.
