Make BTD a 20-song album, many of the outtakes are really good songs

I remember a time when Lana said she might not be putting out another album, her muse had died ect. When I read that I was seriously disappointed because I thought/think that Born to Die is an amazing album, especially for a debut. Paradise confirmed, to me at least, that Lana was really special. Not just because of her voice and songwriting, but her entire sound. No one has a sound like hers and it's is such a breath of fresh air. So some might wanna bitch and complain about the album cover, track list, release date, videos being in color or b&W ect. but I am just fucking happy a new album is coming out! Especially a new album from a remarkable artist such as Lana. The track listing is intriguing and titillating. Just what I expect from Lana!

Tbh I don't care for Kill Kill THAT much. AKA's version is great. The only old song that deserves to be on UV is Hundred Dollar Bill since she actually says Ultraviolent in the song.

i think i remember her saying in an interview that she just wants people to be nice to her because "it makes things easier" and that she doesn't care if they're faking it...i'm probably overthinking but maybe she wants to make amends with these people? idk

illegible

Interscope does that all the time lol

I have NOTHING in physical and I'm a huge fan, it's so depressing hahaha, I've been supporting her buying her album digitally but I don't even use them because I rather listen to her discography in lossless rips.

Why do songs have to be the 'new' Cola or 'new' Dark Paradise? What the fuck does that even mean? Would you be satisfied if it were lyrics over the same instrumental? Please can you be more descriptive...
 
AFFA is a 'new' Ride and people shaded it for being reductive compared to Ride lol are you really asking for more song clones

This is most definitely the album cover, the photographer and designer confirmed it, Lana tweeted it, stop being in denial.
 
And if you're in denial, pretend my cover is the official one and use it, cool? Cool.

probably her in like a jersey and mom jeans

That would be so cool... imagine the photo for Fucked My Way Up To The Top 

I don't think the song would be good at all, and I also don't get why people ship them so much. I really don't see their personalities would go together whatsoever. Both are very talented, but.. yeah. 

omfg lambs

Can you guys stop being in denial? It's the album cover.

The denial is real.

This place is too much right now

Can you guys stop being in denial? It's the album cover.

So I had a dream last night that I met Sky and I was BEGGING her to release the b-sides part 2 and she wouldn't say anything about it haha. Then she went on to tell me that the lead single off of her sophomore album was "Angels Forever, Forever Angels" :toofloppy:

their voices are very different but both have very wide ranges, a collab may/may not work but im glad they're friends. i didn't know marina went to a lana show though omg

What? :ew:

I recall LDR mentioning that she likes a "colliding world" aesthetic where she juxtaposes conflicting or inconsistent ideas. This was an early interview, which I could not refind, so maybe I just hallucinated it, but even so it's an interesting way to think about her work. Early album names like "Rock me stable" make sense to me in this regard. With "Sirens" it's the double meaning of the word sirens (lethally beautiful mythological women/police sirens). AKA's cover is a bit of a hot mess, though I suppose the racing jacket over the glittery bra/glamour-gown is a kind of a colliding world statement. The Born to Die cover is my favorite. It strikes me as preacher's daughter's attitude (harsh, almost prudish stare), but then there's that smoking red bra underneath the starched white shirt. This is the red vs. white LDR duality (that @@DeadAgainst talks about) manifesting at the same time. Paradise is the most of a stretch for me. Maybe it's the word paradise combined with her bitchy expression, or maybe it's the palm trees combined with the man-made pool. Or maybe it just doesn't work. Finally, Ultraviolence is the juxtaposition of a serene Lana (if somewhat stark and skull-like, in terms of the shape of the face) with a title that many have pointed out is a non-sequiter for a visual. However, in this context it's a sequiter. While I wonder (with @@PrettyBaby) what the ultraviolence is and suspect it is emotional/psychological, I also wonder whether she'll be on the receiving vs. giving side of it (at least some of her unreleased like songs like serial killer and she's not me depict the latter).
 
Finally, again count your blessings, if Lorde is the "anti-pop star", her debut album cover really sucked (but it probably didn't hurt her sales any). So the UV cover could also be taken as a kind of "anti-Lorde" album cover: a brand name, so familiar it doesn't even need a name, stepping out of a more-expensive-to-maintain-than-buy bit of oppulence -- that is if you know that's her vintage Mercedes she was getting out of. 

The AKA cover was gorgeous and simple, the BTD was glamorous without being over the top, Paradise was not that great for many reasons. Ultra seems to have a cleaner appeal to it.
 
After looking at a bunch of a attention grabbing artworks for albums in a store I think something simplistic would grab my attention a lot more. It just feels fresh and new without trying too hard and looking like shit. It isn't overwhelming visually, it isn't overly edited, it isn't too posed and stiff looking, she looks calm.
