Liz Taylor Blues

I am disappointed that no reviewer has mentioned the lyrical complexities of Blue Banisters, Text Book, and Wildflower Wildfire. As far as I’m concerned, those three tracks are some of her best written. 
 
I also think it’s strange that nobody has commented on the lyrical continuity throughout? The loose themes of motherhood and family lineage that run between the triple singles, Cherry Blossom, Living Legend, and (I assume, as I haven’t heard it yet) Sweet Carolina are definitely worthy of mention. How embarrassing that critics never seem to focus on the lyrical brilliance and autobiographical dive Lana takes, and instead focus on one-off lines that are meant to provoke and offer a bit of lightness. Context clues & reading between the lines as a listener serve you well! 

DIY gave it an 80

okay they definitely had some heads up cause...

My top 3.

i would agree that releasing 8 year old outtakes is a choice but let's not act like they're terribly written because of one awkward line in the chorus, nectar has a lot of really interesting, well-written lines, and cherry blossom is very beautiful
 
it simply cannot compare to that stupid crypto/kevin line in sweet carolina, or any streams of consiousness...

Ultraviolence, Honeymoon and Blue Banisters...the misunderstood trifecta.

7/10

Critics can be very pretentious. The critiques made in the Guardian review are — I don’t want to say baseless — but the way they go about framing their points is really too much. Even in “positive” reviews, there are a lot of backhanded compliments. It’s as if they feel the need to justify their paying Lana a compliment.  

I mean…
i didn’t think the guardian review was too bad - it’s honest. not everyone’s gonna have the same opinions, and obviously i’d like the album to get better ratings but hey, it is what it is, and it was decently written i’d say
 
 also? i’m not really seeing a lot of the “it’s not NFR so i don’t like it 😤” vibe yall seem to be 🤨

Cant say that I share the approach, but at least seems like a honest, therefore fair one.

Ok but can we talk about how If This End I Want a Boyfriend is a powerful statement?

I’m really interested to see which of my opinions change after listening from start to finish in full quality! 
 
There were a handful of songs I wasn’t huge on, but I have a feeling that might change after the production is a little clearer
 
& when I tell y’all I’m going to be obsessed with Sweet Carolina….

Nothing can kill us. We’re radioactive toxic waste at roachella. We’ll always be right here. No one’s going anywhere

text book is already an underrated masterpiece

Pre Release
 
You thought I was rich and I am- just not how you think
i post batshit comments in
the pre release blue bannisters thread
I troll and I slander and I pretend to be psychic
And if you asked me what my favorite pre release was I would Say Lust For Life but a close second would be Blue Bannisters
 
Blue Bannisters
Once Rock Candy Sweet. Almost Arcadia.
BOZ wasnt sure what she was doing and lustforlies was good at pretending at least at first
 
its not the prettiest thread
off topic bosts, circular conversations, scat ( but thankfully no horse porn since Lust For Life. Have we progressed as a society finally?)
an abundance of chaos but an abundance of love as well
 
Darla made a comeback in her cock in her cock in her cockpit but she was no match for Elle or that UMG Thai guy who it turns out was telling the truth back in cocc
 
i don’t know where ill be in 5 years but tomorrow I’ll probably be in the Let Me Do What I’m Trying To Fucking Do Prerelease thread
happily delvolving the conversation the way only a fag or hag can
Happy
 
You thought I was rich and I am. I’m manifesting a sexy billionaire husband so i dont have to work and can just postbinto the void ( lanaboards) all day.

Lana uploading Liz I'm Calling from California, Rock Candy Sweet, The Last Page of the Most Tragic Book Ever Written, Never Was and is Yet To Be, Beast Book, Rock Candy Sweet, California Angel and Vagina and Fresh Lemon acapella laptop demos to Mega rn after she decided to look for inspiration in her fans' fake song titles

The way that whole thing went from them hating on Lana's family to them pretending to be an insider to them admitting to pretending to be an insider to them being horny in all of their posts. I can't say I'm an arcadialovesong2018 fan, but I respect the hustle  
 
Also: remember when they threatened to post their own question for the culture 

when we took quizzes to find out our greek gods parents

lmfaoooo
me logging on tomorrow and seeing everyone calling themselves bitch, f*g and tasteless
 

 
 

me participating in the sentimentality of this thread knowing that the tracklist rankings following BB’s release will result in warfare 
 

Me trying to decide if I should participate in this gifgate because there's no way we'll get warning points on the last day of this thread with a gif that includes Lana herself while also remaining scared of the possibility that we could
 

 
edit: Omg sorry @SweetHenny you beat me to it 

ldr9 will be titled "deadly nightshade" and she will cover "paranoid" by black sabbath
 

1 HOUR until the album is availiable in Russia! My bussy is ready

ldr9 will mark another direction in her art, i can feel it
