This record is beautiful & definitely has great moments;
 
But I don't feel the "magic spark" like the past... Maybe this was an experiment mode for her but to me I fell in love with the Lana that writes her soul out in beautiful melodies of love and about her feelings of those moments while dating someone... the Electric Spark she feels....
 
I also fell in love that she didn't want radio hits... because its about doing it for herself and her world she wanted to create. I guess I love the sadness ............ and its annoying that she mentioned how she doesn't want to sing the verse "He hit me and it felt like a kiss" in UV because you know at one point she's stated that those words really were how her relationship felt; and if so, she's telling her story. Maybe now she disagrees but I don't see why she would sensor herself. she definitely is changing a lot and I love her but I'm not sure I'm personally ready to enter into the different storytelling that equates the Lust for Life type of dialog. It is very distant and not as intimate.

I'm really concerned about what she will do next. This album isn't bad but it feels like it needed more work in some places (Roachella) and less work in others (World At War).
I'm really falling out of love with her this era
Also you don't have to reply to this if you're going to be unkind

Everyone who doesn't like White Mustang needs to get their ears checked

Whether we choose to admit it or not. Fran is far from being a loser. Hes hella successful. His mother was an icon. This is either a g sleazy drag or a g sleazy drag.

LDR6 better be a dark messy album full of chaotic songs like Cruel World and Shades

Music To Watch Boys To and Body Electric were added to Lana's setlist. Finally she's mixing it up.

I really do not care for charts and sales but what Tidal is doing is just so lame it's pissing me off

I really get a vibe that Lana isn't as proud of this record as the past ones. I don't know why but it isn't autobiographical and she just doesn't seem as close to it.

Coachella is a good song. I really enjoy it and it was probably my most listened to out of the singles that were released before the entire album was released. The quality does sound subpar compared to the rest of the album, but I enjoy it and I think the story of the song is unique and nice (comparing Woodstock and the problems the world faced then with Coachella, the problems the world is facing today, and worrying about the futures of children while you're supposed to be celebrating).

I'm not sure if she's proud of it, but it definitely seems like she's more disconnected from this album for some reason.

Yesss i agree! One thing that really bugs me this era is that it doesn't even have a proper aesthetic. She can't have witchy, hippy AND space themed. She should've picked one and set the album based on it. For example if she wanted to make a happy album she could've went all out with hippy shit and done more photoshoots, heck maybe even recreate Woodstock for a shoot? idk... so many ideas she could've went with but she didn't. I would've loved a full on dark witchy album though

I'm just putting this out there, and I don't want to be accused of being 'ungrateful, this is purely just wishful thinking.
 
For LDR6, I want it to be this way:
 
- Lyrics: I really want the lyrics to be very picture-esque. A teacher of mine described a poet as being the same as an artist, except poets use words to paint a picture in your mind instead of using oil paints on a canvas. I really want strong Lizzy Grant/UV lyrics like "I have a disco ball mind" (Pin Up Galore), "I keep my lips red to seem like cherries in the spring" (Black Beauty). Very visual with lots of adjectives. None of this short, simple and sparse lyricism.
 
- Aesthetic: Let's be real, the aesthetics of this era were out of whack and completely mix and match. The thing I adore about Lana's music is the clear aesthetic she portrays throughout the artwork, lyrics, photoshoots etc. Was this era witchy? Was this era space themed? Hippie-ish? Fuck knows. For the next album I want to know exactly what the themes are.
 
- Music: I loved how experimental Lana was this era, how she incorporated folk music with pop, and with hip hop. Not many artists can do that. However, I think there were too many collabs and too much going on all in one sitting. It would be nice if next time she'd limit collabs to two people, and maybe just stick to one genre or perhaps for example if she wants to carry on doing pop, but have some songs a sub genre of pop like dream pop or bubblegum pop etc.

LMAO so true but in the end her music actually motivated me to live freely and shape my life the way I wanted to a.k.a. ask myself whether I'm in touch with all of my darkest fantasies   It's so funny to me how the media actually made her believe her music was depressing when it was/is so helpful. A song like Lust for Life ironically doesn't make me excited to be alive at all, because it portrays the act of taking responsibility of your life and your happiness as something so easy, almost natural (which it isn't imo). Like the one kid who always seemed to have a perfect life and positive outlook talking about how great it is to be on this earth. I like that she talks about that in Get Free though

I can't fault her for trying new things :/ I'm not saying that y'all are faulting her, because I get what y'all mean and I sorta agree. Maybe she's trying to escape that particular aesthetic (sadness, old men, ect) for the time being and test the waters. I don't think anything that made her special is gone. It's all there. She just chooses how to present it to the world.

It's strange, something must have happened recently that really ruined her mood, because she was happier while making most of the record. Maybe her short-lived relationship with G-easy? Obviously there is small chance for that but I really have no idea what it could be. It's just evident she was in a better place for a long time and then something came and ruined it all
