i like lyrics when they're melodic and have something with them otherwise she could sing bullshit over a guitar solo and make one of the best songs she's ever put out and that is venice bitch

I'm talking about the musical aspect.
Her lyrics have always been great, even better nowadays.
Musically, it's lazy..

what a lot of people here still don’t get is yeah sure the lyrics are great, they always have been. but after all the poetry, nfr, the "deep lyrics" a lot of us just want PRODUCTION again. no matter what kind but something with OOMPH and BASS. especially when the lyrics discussion is a bit…eh. does she write better today than ten years ago? absolutely. would i take another video games (lyrically and production wise) over her reciting her grocery lists and mentioning nikki or courtney for the 10th time ? absolutely fucking yes. 

exactly the joni mitchell wannabe “i occasionally sleep in the woods" canyon girl cosplay has been going on for long enough.
what’s even wrong with wanting a well thought out, eventful era with concerts, live performances, clear info, great photoshoots and most importantly someone who at least PRETENDS to somewhat care about her art. 
and i agree the fact random people with a smartphone, an online thread and stalker tendencies like us come up with better ideas, concepts, covers and designs than a whole modern "pop star" with a huge record label on her side is just beyond me. like at this point just hire someone from here and we’ll do half your work for you…for free (). 

no cause this is so true that is a complete mid-winter horrific depression episode album cotcc in late august will probably be so perfect and striking i am certain

SALVATORE'S UPDATED THOUGHTS ON YOSEMITE
yosemite- i lied above. i listened to the entire record with the incense and the breeze but yosemite i saved, i saved until the dead of night, and drove to an observatory be alone in my car outlooking the silent city sparkling on cliffside, engulfed in pines and hibernating wildflowers and i played yosemite on repeat for 45 or so minutes staring silently into the dead. this song is everything i've ever wanted. it's what kept me alive in a year i tried my best not to be and i built a fun following around it, i emailed interviewers, writers, tried to find photographers and collected every bit of information of the song i could. bought magazines that referenced yosemite, i did an entire paper around Yosemite by John Muir. I have two shirts from the 70s referencing yosemite, i've stumbled upon bottle openers from the park out in the roads where i'd walk alone at night hoping i'd be at the wrong end of a desperate persons violence for no reason other than trying to find feeling, yosemite is a lot to me and when we didn't get it in LfL i was heartbroken and decided to crave it more than ever before
 
upon her interview of MAC/VB i knew Architecture was the theme of Norman. Even though the song said to not start the new record i felt she wouldn't give up the past title track of Lust for Life that easy, or at least her muse wouldn't. The description of norman as a cocky artist with an ego that needed settling, the rejected scraps of White Mustang's music video, it all felt too coincidental and i called it that Architecture would have inspired, or be on the album (i was right), following i felt Yosemite would come to fruition here, having Lust for Life be this disjointed parent record of Norman Fucking Rockwell, i figured it'd stay similar for 'White Hot Forever'; the attempts at social commentary, the deliverance into an acoustic side to her discography, they'd be messily glued on Lust for Life and then refound in their own spaces, and now they have been. and Yosemite is the song of Chemtrails.
 
The music itself is everything i had hoped, it was brooding, optimistic, enchanting, emotional and methodical. Her rescinding the song out of vocal vulnerability in the same breath she killed malibu out of fear of transparency found a funny way into an album full of airy and broken vocals. White Dress being a thread laced through Wild at Heart in the way it is through Yosemite through Dark through For Free. The a capella she sung in 2017 obviously didn't do it justice and how anyone thought it could was laughable and that is their own fault. Her voice here is gorgeous, the song writing is beautiful, the atmosphere created in this song is so . fucking. beautiful. I knew this song was my favorite she's ever made before hearing it and I've heard it and it's still the best song she's ever created. The bridge is like a god speaking through the sky in thundering tongues and lightning flares. The imagery i suspected years ago of desert-y folk songs you'd look out over the desert and see an impending storm rings true, this is the calm inside a storm, it's an ignorant and threatened peace. i see nothing but rainless storms and sharp winds light by the invincible glow of candlelight. Yosemite is immaculate, a highlight, and a mission statement for the record. It couldn't be without Chemtrails and Chemtrails couldn't be without Yosemite. 
 
She wasn't quite at yosemite in 2017, and being able to confidently proclaim enough that she could put a song about doing things for free on a record bookended with a memoir about making art for free, and a collaborative homage to a song about lovingly observing others making art for free is quite powerful. Her never mentioning Yosemite in the lyrics is powerful
 
Yosemite being the only 1-word song on this album is powerful. 
She's so powerful, and so very realized

Everything is a ‘disrespect to Lana and her work’ these days we need to stop being sensitive to criticism towards her.  If you look at it this way it might even be a compliment…Producing a whole album by yourself is no easy feat and I think she could do it.

I hope this doesnt happen tho. It really effected how much I connected to COTCC; because for me it was always a "fall album", so it's release in late-winter kinda made me feel like it was out of place and I felt that sonically and lyrically. I'm still waiting to listen to COTCC "as it was intended" as the summer fades away. 
 
I don't want that to happen to BB/RCS (feeling like I missed out on hearing the record in the season it was intended) just bc she/her team/her label couldn't get their shit together. 
 
Maybe I'm just overly sensitive to that kind of thing, but I literally change my listening habits dramatically based on season. I havent been able to listen to a single Evermore song with full enjoyment (e.g.) since the weather got warmer.

the one where she says shes not a furry
the one where she says let me do what i'm fucking doing
the video of her driving with half her leg on the dashboard
the video of her singing video games and the fan is gurneyed out of the arena 
and the video of her fucking blake from the back during a concert
