Liz Taylor Blues

Prepare to be pissed

I'm glad she's not censoring herself. Artist should never censor themselves for the sake of their public image. I hated it when she said in an interview that she tries not to use certain words & topics in her songs now that she's 'aware' of her impact on public.

Since I'm past the whole post-release bliss where everything is great, I can finally really think about the album in terms of quality.
 
 
The first half of the album is pretty good. It's pretty familiar because it's basically the same thing as all the last records. The songs aren't that long (compared to the second half) which makes it easier to binge listen.
Lust For Life and Love are the most underrated songs and Summer Bummer is so overrated it makes me cringe.
The weakest song for me is 13 Beaches in terms of lyrics. The melody is great though.
 
The secong half is kind of hard to list at first but it's pretty powerful. It's the consciousness of the second half that makes me really attracted to it. It's about someone seeing their sorroundings and finally realizing that even though we're all flawed we can change. And change is basically the main theme of the second half, which leads us tp the hole trinity of the record: Heroin/Change/Get Free.
WTWWAWWKD is a pretty great song but underrated as shit. God Bless America is kinda weird but in a cool way. Not even Stevie Nicks was able to save BPBP and Coachella and Tomorrow Never Came are the weakest songs of this half.
 
The album is generally is pretty good. Lana tried to continue doing what she was doing in the previous records which is giving the record a totally different sound from the previous ones to it and she did accomplish that in parts but it didn't work as fine as it did before. It felt kinda off to me, especially when listening to GBA and Summer Bummer.
 
I give it a 7.8

What would be really cool would be spoken word concerts aka Lana reading her words, her poetry with say just Byron on piano background
 
and spoken word albums (be it all of hers or new lyrics.)
 
Leonard Cohen of course was a poet prior to recording, and Jim Morrison (years after he died the remaining Doors later on set his poems to music)

GBA is excellent
 
Anyway the worst songs are LFL, roachella, Tnc, beautiful hags
The rest is great.
The first half>
Love bops!

top 10 hits don't lie 

Where are you guys getting the best, up-to-date Lana news?? I feel like I've been missing a lot of stuff since LanaDReyCrew was suspended on twitter

The Coachella bashing is getting boring. The song may not be her strongest one but LfL has worse tracks

Coachella - Woodstock In My Mind is the opener of the world tour. 100% confirmed

Without Coachella, this era would've never been the same. Coachella's existence has lead to so much funny stuff that I'm just grateful

Don't make me sad,don't make me cry

Time after time, writing meltdowns
Having my tears falling next to me
It's so sweet waiting for the video
When I know that Lana hasn't even shot it yo

Packing all my leaks from last summer
Watching Lana vids issa bummer
cause I
Thought that she would soon drop another
But Life said "bitch, u thought"

I know we all have our different opinions about what her best album is, but I do feel like Paradise gets slandered a lot and it makes me so angry because it's such a beautiful masterpiece. Like, I know it's not a full album but still.

We did it for fun, we did it for free
I did it for the WM video, you did it for leaks
We did it for the right reasons

I wanna be happy this thread is slowly ressurecting but the fact that it's only bc y'all are arguing for the 98736277283478th time about which album is her magnum opus sends me to sleep. But the lack of leaks can sometimes make it hard to dream.

Why couldn't of her team accidentally posted Life is Beautiful instead of the Summer Bummer demo

that is pure slander I'm reporting

I love statements based on facts :*

Bc people on here rather believe twitter insider nobodies than facts

Theyre only in front of her for like 2 songs. Its not that bad

Honeymoon is the quintessential summer record for me
