HILLARY CLINTON

Lana already confirmed herself that there were names of people she knows that she removed

I know this has been debated for years on here, but what do you guys think?
After Heroin being on Lust for Life and the tons of drug references on the album, do you think she was a drug addict along with her alcoholism?
 
sorry if im beating a dead horse

this thread went from 0-100 hella fuckin fast

Ultraviolence
Lust for Life
Born to Die
Paradise
Honeymoon
 
I have to wait a little to rate Lust for Life still. I would say it's number one, but I'm gonna wait til it ages a little. Ultraviolence has aged gracefully, but I don't know if LFL will. I could never get sick of listening to UV but LFL i think I can.

I think that It's a moment of silence for those that we've lost. It makes sense because of the lyrics before.

Lana said she'd call us tomorrow but tomorrow never caaaaAaaMmmMMeeEe

to everyone saying this album is so happy.... whatre you smoking?
 
I've listened so many times now and she seems so confused and angry. The only song that would give any inclination shes happy is Love and Lust for Life. The rest all have somewhat of a dark tone.

I don't see the point in this post

woah the pre-release post was so much more entertaining
 

I hear "for ... and for ...". The dots are cut

One complaint I do have about the album has nothing to do with the music - I've seen a lot of CD packaging (inc the booklet, etc), and the CD packaging for LfL is honestly one of the lowest effort I've seen in a while. Some packages such as Radiohead's AMSP honesty are beautiful, with debossed text and gorgeous art all over the booklet and the gatefold. I would expect more considering how much of a perfectionist Lana seems to be. The back cover of the booklet is the exact same as the back cover of the jewel case, the ONLY lyrics are riddled with mistakes that are so obvious they are inexcusable, the CD is an extremely basic single colour, and it just doesn't seem as if any sort of artistic effort has been put into the packaging.

i have a theory that maybe the "bitch" and "fuck" were added later after her and Gerald split. maybe she wrote the song about him and then they split so she added those sassy parts lmao idk

imagine hating this song because of stevie. lana should be more grateful she got to work with one of the most iconic women of rock of all time.     stevie MADE this song better

i hear a lot of Ultraviolence in this with the beats of BTD and Honeymoon. Sort of a hybrid of all three.

I didnt write about the first part because we've heard most of it besides a couple songs. 
 
Coachella (Woodstock in my Mind) - 8.5/10 I love the message behind the song and appreciate the beats behind the lyrics. It seems a little unfinished and I enjoy that part of it. Sets a good tone for the second half lyrically, but is the last song of hard beats on the record.
God Bless America - 9/10 The guitar at the beginning is refreshing. The very "American" vibe I get from the first couple seconds is electric. The two gunshots after "God Bless America" is also a favorite part. Her tone "And all the beautiful woman in it" makes it seem like that part is a little secret. Like a hush-hush? Very patriotic and feminine. "Stand proud and strong like Lady Liberty shining on and on" she sings, wanting the ladies to know, they keep us strong. Overall, a great song, but not the strongest in terms of lyrics on the record. Musically, BTD reworked by an Indie artist... at its finest. 
When the World Was at War We Kept Dancing - 9/10 The first verse and the little beat in the back is reminiscent of Born to Die and the first verse. The tempo change from the verses to chorus is so great, my favorite part. "Is it the end of an Era, is it the end of America" She sings in a way that she's trying to convince herself its going to be alright, but shes still unsure. Her pitch in the chorus is amazing. The chorus is the highlight of this song. Similar to GBA, a refreshing and new song, but not the strongest on the album. 
Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems - 10/10 I love the piano in this. Also love her tone. Lyrically, I'm in total awe with this song. The melody, the instrumentation, everything is great. I was apprehensive about hearing a song with Lana and Stevie, but to me, their voices are so complementary towards each other. Her verse is VERY refreshing and sounds just like a Fleetwood Mac song back in the 70s. The pre-chorus after the 2nd verse where they're singing together is one of my favorite parts. The later end of the song makes me wanna cry, right after the bridge. They sound so desperate and sure of themselves. A standout and one of my favs on the record.
Tomorrow Never Came - 8.5/10 The Woodstock, Indie vibe is a standout on this record. Reminds me of Florida Kilos in a way. The chorus and her breathy tone makes the song great, along with Seans singing. I haven't paid too much attention to it. I know I would love it a whole lot more if I really tried. Another record highlight tho.
Heroin - 10/10 Ultraviolence tease. One of my favorites, if not, my absolute favorite song on the album. The instrumentation, the lyrics, the tone. SO dark and eerie. The beat in the chorus as she singings "Heroin" omg. "Its fucking hot, hot" this switch up makes this song THAT much better. She sounds so sad and angry, I hate it, but love it for the sake of the music. The last chorus with the layered vocals makes me cum.
Change - 9.5/10 Sounds like a literal swan song. Like she's saying goodbye to the Old Lana with this "change". I haven't paid attention to it lyrically that much, but I know its one of my favorites. Another eerie tone to it, much like its predecessor. The chorus sounds like a "war in her mind". She sounds sort of optimistic in this song. Could be political, but also could be personal. The sadest on the record.
Get Free - 10/10 Her best album closer yet in her career. The most upbeat song on the entire record. Refreshing, in the sort of way as if she's looking back on everything shes done so far. I love how the tempo progresses in the first verse, and picks up entirely in the chorus. A huge Lizzy Grant tease in this song. "Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind, I wanna get off, but I keep riding the ride." I LOVE THIS. I've been mindfucked by this song.
 
 
The second half of the album is much better and original than the beginning. The first half in my opinion, is like Lana sticking to what she knows she could do. The second half is her showing us what she can do now. The record makes me question if shes as happy as she proclaims. It seems to have an underlying, VERY dark tone to it. It's very cohesive musically and lyrically, but the most confusing record I've ever listened to. After each listen, I ask myself, "What did I just listen to?" because it pulls you in being so cohesive, but it's very confusing and I can't tell you whats really confusing. This record is def my favorite by her so far. I'm excited to start finding the meanings of each song and understanding them inside and out.
