i might have well included glory if we wanted to consider those major frontrunner releases no shade i love her but 2016 wasn't the year for returning legendary artists, much like Fergie bombing DDII

2017 has some good releases but as a whole I think 2016 is stronger. While some of my favorite artists dropped stuff this year (LfL, CTRL, Kelela's album was great, I like Melodrama n i dont dislike all of hfk)- in addition to albums like DAMN. Rainbow and Reputation which are all going to be iconic releases for their respective artists just think back on 2016 for a second Lemonade ANTI Blonde Life of Pablo Coloring Book 4 Your Eyez Only Views Joanne Awaken My Love Starboy A Seat At The Table e: this is what the truth feels like glory all this vs. Divide Melodrama DAMN. Flowerboy Tell Me You Love Me 4:44 Lust for Life Witness Hopeless Fountain Kingdom Rainbow Reputation e: beautiful trauma ctrl i know a few users aren't into to more RnB or hiphop style music or jus non-white non-alt music in general but 2016 imo was 10x stronger in releases

my second favorite artist is Frank Ocean, ima say Channel Orange- so many memories favorite ice cream flavor

well now we know lana doesn't skip leg day w those murderous calves !

YES BITCH YOU'VE SEEN THE LIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @@Roctab WE SAVED ANOTHA ONE !!

sure, it can come off really sweet or really stereotypical n awkward do you agree that the middle east has some of the most gorgeous architecture ?

not really, spring is too long imo you agree Heroin's better than Cruel World. it aint a question issa statement

i love this one but i also loved ur previous one sm

Tomorrow Never Came, Yosemite, and Heroin. favorite controversial musician

if they were here for a lana win they would've put in her for alt AOTY lbr

ur banned for bein too sweet like clampi n that pfp is so pleasing to look at

so here's the man Gorgeous is about bitch i'd leave my man to if i saw this fine ass looking me up

banned because your signature is too scary

only took me 1 1/2 hrs to find my favorite post ive made jfc

banned because you've yet to hex me u binch

i can't. ur too good for this site you know what ? banned for your own good sis

it's gonna be ok baby we gonna get thru it

tea ! i think divide as an actual album is extremely mediocre..but knowing their obsession with Ed it's a guaranteed honestly Lana could probably win AOTY-Alt if they submitted to that section, Lorde is too big and commercial to not place Pop rather than Alt and Lana has factually been the biggest Alt release all year. honestly dont fucking know why she didnt give to Alt it's genuinely confuses me mostly because there's like a good 6/16 tracks that even resemble 'pop' LfL Cherry WM Summer Bummer Groupie Love and In My Feelings

over Melodrama ? DAMN. ? 4:44 ? Divide ? CTRL ? I want LfL for AOTY as much as any stan does but with how Ed is loved and Lorde is pushed I wouldn't be surprised if they came out on top. DAMN. deserves recognition because lbr at this point Kendrick deserves a win for AOTY after producing 3 incredible and significant albums in a row. And with Reputation coming out I wouldn't be surprised if Taylor grabbed any last minute nominations- especially if she's eligible for AOTY and lets not forget Bodak Yellow which will be a predicted front runner for SOTY along with Shape of You and Despacito; all 3 horrible tracks, I'd be surprised if she's even nominated with how many bigger songs there are to compete with

hey gang ! let's all go take a drive to Lana's graveyard ! also i learned there's an emoticon limit on the site.. i had a good thirty graves oops

the t swizzle thread is this way icon -------------------------------> http://lanaboards.com/index.php?/topic/3298-taylor-swift/page-26

i get home and it decides to double post my comment all T Heroin > Cruel World n it in no way goes w coachella let her b the bridge none of us wanted but needed

why does everything go back to CWIMM w u

let me break down some reasons as to why I love it personally in terms of the placement, it makes all the difference- it starts off the final three tracks, all revolving around the idea of change. i see it as Heroin being the admission to the problem, she recognizes she needs to change; Change being the motivation, the desire to go- and Get Free taking the torch of desire and carrying it to a promise and commitment to herself & her surroundings. i love how cold and hollow it sounds, it reminds me of the aftereffects of a heavy emotional scenario in which you or the person that just got off the episode is dying down, cooling off, fairly numb to their senses. the lyrics are great, not saying LfL is bad lyrically but i personally didn't see many similar stanzas throughout LfL with previous work until Heroin (Love fits too just not sonically). the verses are written so, so nice. the 'Topanga's hot tonight, the city- by the bay. has movie stars and liquor stores in soft decay' the melody works great. plus the amount of one liners that are incredible that hit hard not only in the way its written- but sung. "I want to leave I'll probably stay another year" to me is a perfect representation of depression, i dont want to be depressed- i want to be happy, but it doesnt seem plausible nor realistic so ill just stay in my current situation no matter how low it'll take me. "The Rumblin of distant shores sends me to sleep-but, the facts of life can sometimes make it hard to dream" same with above, it reminds me so heavily of my anxieties that can keep me up in the night, no matter how serene and perfect the place you're in physically- your mental state will forever force priority over your emotions. both Heroin and Cruel World play with her usual aesthetic- but i find Heroin to be more mature, purely in the sense that it uses her natural imagery without sounding like her previous work or relying on her buzzwords- 'party dress' is the easiest comparison. Heroin stays with her vintage starlets and alcohol and drugs whereas CW sounds a little more juvenile in her work, but thats purely because she was coming off of BtD- but extremely depressed, not having fully rinsed her stereotypical lyrics. with how cold and icy the song sounds and feels, it makes the explosive bridge that much more powerful- having her sing quietly and softly and then yelling loudly is a huge wake up- it's emotional, the notes are shifty- she swears, it's the perfect emotional breakdown. she's leaving what she knows is holding her back- those are just a few reasons why i love Heroin- def not all but it's a big representation as to why i personally love and relate to it, much more so than Cruel World. Cruel World is a good song, i have general distaste for it mostly due to the countless live performances, but I can guarantee people love it a LOT more just because its on Ultraviolence. Most songs on there that would normally go for mediocre are boosted, just because it has UV instrumentals and was a part of the era.
