If I see anymore Paradise slander so help me God.

I no longer would want Lana to do the James Bond theme, because in a trump World
James Bond is misogynist and abusive to women.
It's a new world now
and Lana should be Bond, not be subservient to Bond.
 
The next Bond should not be male.
 
Would more hope for a Maleficent 2 soundtrack brand new song 
 
even more so, a brand new animated film doing the whole score.
 
 

I heard Coachella before joining here and before I read any opinions on twitter. And I appreciated the lyrics because, once again, it sounded like something written in a diary. Although it kinda felt like she tried to say so much in the verses which she usually doesn't.
But I remember that I was disappointed with the instrumentals, it sounded undone with the trap beats and too rushed somehow. And the weird background noise which I can't really describe... you know, that sound which never ends but just goes up or down a note? Do you know what I mean? Anyway, it sounded like a demo to me, like as if they put it there until they found the right instrument to use instead (like a bass or strings instead).
And no, I still don't like it very much but I think the sound suit the rest of the album now that I've heard it all. I think it's placed perfectly after In My Feelings, right after the last tune of it. It works good when Coachella starts.
So I have to admit that I like it more now than I did at the beginning, but it's still not great.
 
Edit: Omg, so many auto correct spellings here, I should read it all through before posting.   It's fixed now.

Imagine how amazing her songs would be if she didn't use vocal effects/filters/whatever they're called.
Her voice would sound so good if they didn't try to make it sound vintage-y, especially on songs with HQ instrumentals like LFL and Groupie Love.

the album is amazing& coachella is amazing
also i think it's not a bad thing that lana is quiet, better than all these other attention whores, just enjoy the beautiful album and performances we already got

She’s already working on the next album. That’s why this bitch can’t even remember her own lyrics since she’s writing constantly

yeah i don't know what to believe but it's so funny  , and à propos your friend: it looks about right lol! i'm taurus everything, even my chinese sign apparently is their version of taurus smh and i have pulled some pretty epic procrastination gimmicks, i'm ashamed to say that i empathise with lana's lazy assness. I would have stopped making mvs a long ago unless i was really inspired. 
le désir pour la vie par le biais de la traversée du désert 

Tbh I don't get the hype either

are we talking about singles or visuals/mv? because paradise managed to have a visual for every song except American! (I'll cheat and count the Rosalita monologue for cola, lol if she had pushed it could have been a legit mv), that era was so gold with all those movie soundtracks here & there 
 
UV: brooklyn baby, cruel world out of curiosity, mpg
 
HM: Art Deco to complete the Trap Trinity and have a tragic party song, TBD, Swan Song or GKIT out of curiosity
 
LFL: Cherry, yes for TNC acoustic duet, Get Free, Heroin out of curiosity 
 
General and in no order: KOOL, Serial Killer, Maha Maha, Go Go dancer, Ghetto Baby, Hit & Run, Dum Dum honestly all these songs could be in a "short" cabaret-style movie, with Lana being this sultry serial seducer that gets rid of people like a religious mantis and throws her men's corpses in her truck to dump them in her backyard like in the Love Witch as she travels motel to motel, bar lounge to bar lounge to perform and she meditates who's going to be the next victim she goes to fish from her audience. So the music would play as she's listening to it to the radio or while she goes live. I could pen her a script    

the thing is, taylor isn't the only one who does that but she's the only one who gets criticised rn, if she deserves the backlash i don't know i'm not sure 
 
it's a technique to avoid scalping, basically greedy men who have cash buy several tickets as soon as they are available and sell them for a multiple price i know that i really struggle to buy tickets because it takes me a lot of time to make a decision :/ especially if the artist doesn't go on tour very often (which i don't know for taylor but it's definitely true for the PEOPLE I LISTEN TO GODDAMIT) and as far as i know you can be priority for free, i know those who yell that you need to buy the album several times to get a ticket lie -.- basically it counts how many views you have on her vevo, tweets, IG, other social media you need to #her + merch/downloads/other stuff you buy. it's for the fans who really are into the artists but get denied tickets because they can't get to buy them. i remember how happy i was to know paolo conte of all people was having a concert in my city (in france!!!) but it was already sold out by the time i opened my laptop and a lowlife was selling tickets 4 times the price like they were leaves of bread. it's really a no win-win situation, if tickets are too expensive you're greedy but if they're too cheap scalpers who lurk the internet will buy lots of them and i don't think these teenagers' parents like to buy stuff from them 
 
at least i think that's why, whenever i see an article about taylor swift i admit i take it with a grain of salt because people love to hate her so much and i despise click baits  
 
plus it also makes sense to me that if you are invested with an artist you should be have easier access? it's like a vente privé from a shop you go to very often 

This is my first era actually on the site. Is it really? White Mustang better have beautiful ending credits  -- 

i'm sure no one is saying it's easy but it's her job, if she decides to do live shows her performances need to be nice or at least she should try to make them so. many of her fans are young and probably depend on their parents, not everyone will have the opportunity to see her more than once so she should honour that and make it memorable. the conditions during her lives can be improved, and it's not that unbearable other artists do it too 
 
i just want lana to be the best she can be     

Title. 



From BTD, I'm pretty content with how her videos were chosen. I was thinking of OTTR, and Dark Paradise, but I feel imagination simmers the tracks well so it's all good.



Paradise, I wish Cola had a music video. Las Vegas feel, psychedelic and lots of kaleidescope effects, and cherries.

Ultraviolence: I wished we got the Brooklyn Baby music video, and Money Power Glory. I was debating whether or not Old Money should get visuals, but if the video was home made, I'd feel it would be a lot better, like how the Honeymoon vid was.



Honeymoon:
I wish the Burnt Norton video had a home made interlude. and that GKIT and Salvatore had music videos. I loved her visuals on her IG, when she was riding in the tour vehicle.




With Lust for Life, I'm hoping for another Tropico, a gay can dream, she can choose whichever videos she pleases. I hope Cherry gets a music video by itself, as well as War. I hope Tomorrow Never Came has an intimate, studio session based music video between Lana and Sean. 

***Because I can be excessive, aside from being singles, of course I'd like a video to accompany it, but either singles with or w/o visuals, which would you like to have?

I actually didn't like Heroin at first. How times change.

I actually think that Heroin, Change and Get Free is the new holy trinity... sorry Paradise. It's given Body Electric, Gods and Monsters and Bel Air a run for their money. Like it's honestly the perfect collection of songs to end a record. I'm shook every time i hear it

Worst on each alboom
 
BTD - Lucky Ones
PD - American
UV - Guns and Roses
HM - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
LFL - Coachella
 

BPBP is an old school ballad, with Stevie Nicks. I have no reason for not liking it.

It’s like he’s competing with her to sing even higher than her

wow ok that's just too real

i have a feeling this song sounds incomplete because abel's voice doesn't add too much to lana's, with the way they sing it wasn't complimentary enough, if Abel had dropped the falsetto at some point I would have gotten some closure perhaps

weirdly excited for the new album, might give 1989 a listen especially since it has Without You on it

Why I didn't recorded this
