    sure jan

     

    not like we got some fan favourites in the bonus tracks but sure.

    I checked myself, and stand by what I've said. Let me speak for myself at the very least.

     

    Lust for Life never had a deluxe release (that we know of), Honeymoon neither, I seldom listen to all the tracks on Ultraviolence, and the closest thing to connect to what you're saying with me is Without You on Btd. Burning Desire had it's own release as a single, considering it was released at the same time of Paradise. 

     

    Even if what and how you're saying things might be true for yourself and others, well that's fine. Keep in mind that releases of their own tracks, standalone would be a great way to strengthen her selection of what she wanted to release, and help bridge one record cycle to the next, all the while keeping constant interest, not just from her fans, but keep the public interested as well. 

     

    There's always a better way of doing things, so let's talk about it.

    TLY is one of my most absolute favorite songs in Lana's discog

    I put the radio on
    Hold you tight in my mind
    Isn't strange that
    You're not here with me

    But I know the light's on, in the television
    Trying to transmit, can you hear me?

    You can just properly tune into the distance between them. So solemnly beautiful

    SO,  let's just say that.....  IF Lana had still included BAR on the album,  and the album was actually titled Best American Record...  Would you like the album more? Where would it sit in your favourites? 

    I personally wouldn't like it. I mean, it'd sort of be unfair to the rest of her music. I mean we know that each album is different and brings something else to the table each time another one arrives, so to sort of set one record from another so literally would kinda be defeating in and of itself. 

     

    I like the pseudo Carpenters/ road trip across the states feel of it. 

     

    And let's be real, the album is already what it is, at least take it for how Lana considers it as a solid piece of work. There're reasons that the songs we wanted didn't end up on there, and it's a kind of solace at the same time that we didn't. 

     

    If she decides to release the tracks, then I only hope that she can do so, proudly, and through the way that she wants to, to do so well, and sharply fitted when she deems best.

    I really appreciate this post because it makes the LFL era alot less messy for me, and what you said makes alot of sense. The way she talked about some of the songs did suggest that she's trying to expand her audience or atleast her label wants her to. Like with LFL (song) how it was supposed to be a hit with the extensive work they did on it, but what doesn't make sense is that there wasn't enough promo to back all of that . Like what is the point of going towards a commerical sound if you have no intention to make use of it. Some radio airplay and a few TV performances would've helped alot. I do think the features helped her out a bit, you would see in the comments of summer bummer, many people saying they came for ASAP but they became fans of Lana, same with LFL and the weeknd. And there wasn't any real decline in sales from the HM era. With that being said, the streams and sales were actually great for an album w no promo (imo), for example. the album sold similarly to Lorde's Melodrama which was her second album that had promo and LFL is Lana's fifth, also LFL was the first era since BTD/Young and beautiful to for a video to go over 100 million views. 

     

    But sales matter alot less than the quality of the album, and I think this album will go down as a classic in the alternative world as the era when Lana turned towards an optimistic mind space. What's nice about the messy aesthetic is that we don't get a boring album and it has a variety of sound.

    Sure, np! I remember how in the pre-release thread how everyone was kinda iffy on how te album was called LFL without the promo, and how it made it ironically lifeless bc of that. There were moments when we got all these magazine covers and entries, but it all sort of garbled everything up bc of the different dates they were mentioning til the July 21st fam comment. So I get how fans felt a bit reprimanded and let down. To then lead to the last minute changes. I personally think that yeah she wanted to make this one as special as can be. Having those features to draw more people in, adding Change last minute (I honestly wonder where it's home video is)

     

    It easily couldve gone either way with the album, but she chose something more collective, with variety, bc she somehow knew that she had more of a responsibility for all the intrigue she was causing. Kinda like branching out after her truest to self record HM

     

    Not from LFL, but I was listening to Bel Air just dozing and I personally see the record as her Ariel part of your world moment, coming through to just say that she's here, more present with us

     

    Imagine, yeah how much livelier it would've been if she actually had more live performances while everything was happening. But I guess she's letting the record speak for itself right now.

    I still strongly feel that so much can be done with this album. It's a solid anthology of where she is now, and even if you can't agree how whether or not the album is as cohesive or compares to something that even could've just been, the music on it's got variety for a purpose. To gain a stronger, wider demographic, while trying to keep her fans happy.

    I remember her mentioning how this record, for the first time was specifically for us, as she was writing it and talking about it in interviews. I think it did it's job, and reflects how the social scope of U.S. is through her. 

    The only problem is that she hasn't really been fleshing out her art for us, for us to better vibe with, even more than she hasn't from previous albums. So I wonder what'll happen after Cherry.

    .... and what the fanbase will make of it

    It's a few decades into the future. We're still here. Lana releases a new commercial for her perfume line, Life is Beautiful. It's aired in France first bc she's decided to name it in French

    The song still doesn't see the light of day bc of a certain set of wrought iron gates, feline guarded.

     

    Here's the promo poster:

    I was listening to the most recent radio interview she had with _____. And, i thought it was great how she added in the lines about staying in the pines. Is this a Yosemite clue? :whine:

     

    I wish she wouldn't censor herself when it came to her writing. Aside from Cola's epitome of a powerful man with, strangely enough, a low threshold of personal control over his desires, I've never really thought her lyrics were crass.

     

    Not that I condone what she's written in Cola, but, even that line had a sense of artful, meaningful purpose. I just hope the depth in her words stay precisely evocative of what she wants to say, how she says it, above it all.
