    in terms of eras i suppose honeymoon was pretty underwhelming with minimalistic promo, recycled footage used for freak and also mtwbt, not giving the title track a proper mv, and perhaps the addition of the backup dancers for concerts but sonically it's amazing, i always listen to all of lana's music anyway
     
    the only low point of hm is perhaps the nina simone cover and the vinyl discontinuity between freak/art deco. i'd hate to pick a favorite but i find honeymoon to be the blueprint of what i like in an album. to me - it's almost perfect 
     
    i love every single song, and the admirable thing is that the album is very cohesive but also lana revisits (or at least acknowledges) different  styles of music from classic lounge, gospel,trap and jazz 
     
    also something that is very specific to honeymoon is that every track is in the right place: she achieved to find the perfect opener/closer combo (i ignore nina - whom i love dearly- and pretend it ends with swan song even tho the cover is ok, and also appropriate, so no hard feelings on my part). the album starts with the perfect incipit that almost breaks the 4th  wall and nudges about lana's popularity and every other track in the middle is in its right place. And love that she has an interlude  
     
    i also love how chill the album is, i like that lana has something like that in her repertoire. anyway this is all my opinion, i admit i have a negative bias against deluxe versions of albums and while UV sonically and lyrically might be more interesting there are like 4 different versions of the album (standard, deluxe, deluxe with an itunes song exclusive and a japanese deluxe version - i could be wrong) so it's kinda jarring. at least LFL has the perfect closer with GF. 
     
    i'm also partial to the surreal themes of the songs and to the hermetic approach of her lyrics, which also brings some variety to her songwriting because that's a different style from BTD/UV where she seems like she's narrating a story, while in HM she seems addressing herself or the audience about her thoughts and feelings in a dialogue. I feel that we are more included in the narrative and lana's persona with this album. 
     
    it might seem like lana hasn't taken any risks but compared to what the music industry is, the project was very risky. the tempo is too slow and not very youtube attractive. I could see the songs being played by a radio tbh but not becoming viral and eliciting lots of clicks which is something everyone attempts to do with drums, fast hooks and lush music videos (altho lana could use a better marketing strategy ...)
     
    i'll stop before writing an essay, honeymoon is bomb.

    I would definitely like to talk to her about life in general and the things going on in the world. I'm young, I haven't started college yet, and I'm lost. I feel like she could really help guide me in the right direction.

    Completely random, but I was thinking about this thread today, and I have some extremely personal thoughts to share about LFL now that its been completely released for 2+ months:
     
     
     
     
    Anyways thanks for letting me share even though I don't really know where to post this. LFL is such an amazing album and it really took me on a personal, spiritual journey this year xoxoxoxo

    I have the same problem. I change the grammar in my head because I find that the original wording isn't flowing very well, it's a bit pedantic. (but who am i to criticise her wording LOL). I also hate "puts you in a trance" and prefer something like "sets you in a trance", i find some words too basic idk 
     
    there's a similar problem, imho, in 13 beaches and (the first verse of) cherry

    I've grown to respect this song, especially when tragedies like Vegas happen. Makes me think of those who passed and the future that they could of had, but God didn't protect them. I think about the suffering of their loved ones. And I think about how we could just as easily be in their place. My question to God is why does he/she/it allow this to happen? I'm an atheist, but that'd be my question
     
    Anyway, I was crying in the shower to this song earlier. I find this song therapeutic in that way.
