    Real late but I just saw the Gucci vid that Chuck shot and I personally liked it. I mean maybe it was more substance than style or something, but I liked how simple but meshed it was. Did she shoot the Venice b video too?

    These are all great, aside from the plane pic imo, but I'm hoping that she doesn't get too overwhelming when it comes to the cover. The art idea's fucking amazing yes, but I don't want her persona to be swallowed up by it, like the pseudo Carpenters feel w/ Lfl. I kinda wanna see another High By The Beach kinda cover or something, where u know it seems like a romance novel, but still know that Lana's the main focus.

    I love her voice on IMF. I also love that’s the only song in her repertoire, in my knowledge, where she is pissed. And I love it.

    I get what ur saying, but I think Lana's still got other songs where she sings how pissed she can be. Money Power Glory, Gods & Monsters etc. I think for me, IMF is pretty tame compared to other track's she's put out, and I miss that kind of righteous anger if anything, or how it'd sound

    I love your point of view. It's nuanced. 

     

    I think was summarizes best LFL was the caption she made when she released the tracklisting, which was handwritten: Lust for Life / Lost for Life? 

     

    It captures beautifully the essence of the album, when you are at a crossroads in your life and you are a bit "all over the place". True, the album varies for subgenre to subgenre, but I don't find the shifts too abrupt. That album is the result of so many factors: the leaks, the personal events in her life, etc. Its diversity sounds fresh in her discography as a whole, even if it wasn't meant to sound like that at first, like we all know. 

    Ty and no yeah, I guess for me, listening to record in full was pretty difficult to do at the time, so I just clung to moments that I felt were beautiful and just let it take its course. I'd remember I'd always go to this one spot at night at our cities star center where I can see the city from below, listening to the record. I loved how cold it all felt to me, weather wise too. 

     

    I personally loved the entire era as a whole, I mean I hated July 21st fam, but really who didn't, but the Love posters, the music videos we got, it was a pretty fruitful album cycle. I'm not gonna lie, I still don't really think of all that much of IMF, it's pretty limp imo, Coachella has some iffy lyrics, but the overall message and the outro/bridge is beautiful. I actually don't really mind the collabs all too much, it's all still pretty listen-able. I love TNC, but I guess since the song kinda just reminds me of a dreamy trolling song about not getting anything done, I tend to skip it. Those are my complaints. 

     

    Her voice is still so beautiful ofc in all of them tho, and I can appreciate the sentimentality, and how delicate the record is, especially when the listener's just in a tender and fragile headspace and place in their lives. It's been comforting

     

    and I agree, the lack of cohesiveness, actually packages how diverse she can be in sound, while still sounding pretty uniform to the album exclusively. I guess if you don't really dissect it as much, what comes back to the surface is that what she put out is a kind of gateway record, her coming from her own headspace to the rest of the world, and the quality's still there, so it's a win win.

    Another track to look forward to before the album release, a release date, an album cover, the existence of the snippets and the risk of which tracks'll make the cut or won't. We've actually got a lot to look forward to when it comes to the rollout of NFR, and then there's its release. But idk, I'm pretty bored rn hype-wise idk why

    I wonder how many more songs we'll get to listen to, thru snippets or pre-releases. What I'm really looking forward to is the album cover. AESTHETIC

    What we can say is that Lfl really moves from style to style real fast, and so it's difficult to get that kind of momentum that all stories usually feed their audience with. I guess bc we're used to Lana dishing up that cohesion, that Lfl's considered to be lacking of it. 

    I personally do love the album, and although the songs might be more pronounced when it comes to each indiv track, the sounds varying from one subgenre to another made it trickier to follow sonically. That's why I personally think of it as an organized anthology of work, tied to themes about finding those small glimmering moments in life, and making it gleam all happy and meaningful again. 

    I'm still gonna say it, that the cover could've been so much more than what it was. The magazine rollout for the album was phenomenal, but all we got was a seemingly quick taken photo outtake from the Love vid, which I do love, but how photoshopped it looked, and the color scheme, teal/aquamarine -ish, with the greyish off white border. I just didn't like it as if it were trying to be so dated, whereas the cover's we've gotten from before felt more natural and progressed to look even more and more classic as time went by. 

    I've found some beautiful spots to really listen to the music from the album, and excellent drives in either really hot or cold weather, during specific times of day and so on, but idk there's just been a disconnect, two cents

    I can appreciate what she sang for us from the apple event earlier this week, but I'd actually wanna hear it with the production Jack was playing w during the livestream. For me, it gives it that blend of a happy/sad dynamic, where the music's happy, but the words make u reflect, and I think that's what could really amplify how nostalgic the track can further be 

    . . . AND we've sorta already got an acoustic version of the song when she performed it, and the demo might always just magically leak on another day so yeah

    A Valentine's themed EP with one or two older tracks (Imagine On Our Way + Her cover of 'Where the Boys Are' :defeated:) would be a cute idea, but I think it's still too early to release a bunch of (unrelated) unreleased tracks mashed together without seeming like a cash cow. I feel like there would need to be a deeper context to the tracks instead of releasing them for the sake of being released. For example, maybe a 10th anniversary edition of BTD with a limited print lyric book that features demos, outtakes, voice memos/ideas and her commentary? Lots of older acts do this so I'm hoping she'll follow suit.

    I get what ya mean. And idk if it were ever to happen, I'd hope the tracks were cohesive still to one sound, and a similar background vibe all w ine another. And the latter actually seems like a great idea. Might've been not too long ago, but what got me excited about the Lfl era was the feeling that she might've released an unreleased b-sides album with it, as a kind of celebration to her career. Maybe got too carried away with the title of it, and well, the seemingly lack of cohesiveness of the album would've been the perfect opportunity to fill the era further w all those tracks. Two cents
