you look amazing, and all these clothes are gorgeous even those in the back  it slightly reminds me of valentino 2015 the planets/stars collection (which is why i think this era had potential for more, but it's personal)

as a whole i still listen and love the album, there are so many little things that make it amazing. i'm really into the ominous drone-like sounds at the beginning of when the world was at war, and the little robotic chirpings background sounds of 13 beaches   really sets the mood and futuristic tone.  
 
I feel like, Dayglo Reflection, which has lana as a feature but it's also one of my fave songs, could really fit the theme of the album, or like the themes i had in mind

I don't know if it's obvious, but it's definitely how I see it when I listen to it, because I definitely understand having music override your life until there's no more true space left for yourself and then enjoy it until your ears bleed. I mean she could be singing about a man for all i know but it's easier for me to connect it to Music. 

i love both carmen and freak ... the first is so sad and dark, it's both appropriate and shocking to sing like that about a young girl 
 
freak has a dope instrumental, and the message isn't that different from "come and take a walk on the wild side, let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain" which is yes - cliché, but it's still interesting. If I squint, all of HM could be about her relationship with music, with freak being about her being tempted to go to hollywood, california, let loose and embrace her art/music (it's reaching but my brain does little gymnastics like that   )

I'm SHOOK thank you. Also, that's one of my favorite collections of all time  Lana has an actual BUDGET to do these things with the era, so much untapped potential (and beauty. She could work any style)

I went to a vintage clothing store today with a friend and oh my god there was so much inspiration for the L4L era that I feel like Lana just ignored

I found this dress in the early 1970s section and I'd love to see Lana wear something like this in a Get Free music video, raising her arms slowly over her head as she walks into a sunset framed with a rainbow across the sea, with the sky melting from a murky dusk to an expanse of glistening stars


haha but instead u just get me wearing it

I agree. There are a lot of songs on Honeymoon where she seems to talk about her relationship with music-- Religion being the most obvious.

Oh god, here we go again

Very popular opinion but I fucking need Lana to do a whole song next era with Lizzy vocals ala Get Free backing vocals *Out of the Black, Into the Blue*

and speaking of Get Free, I don't know if anyone has really realized just how much the chorus of Get Free is a relic taken directly from the 1960s / 1970s. That could've been in a Beatles song completely intact and it would still fit them... That kind of chorus was something I knew deep in my heart that I wanted and needed from Lana and right when I first heard it, I was completely blown away. Making this one of my favorite Lana songs + Lizzy grant vocals? Heaven.

I can't speak for everyone else, but I think this era as a whole has been really anti-climatic. Not to say that LFL is a terrible album, but it's not exactly what I was expecting. I do feel as if Lana could have done better. I think in a way maybe we're all comparing LFL too closely to her previous work, which tbh we shouldn't really do.
Maybe some of us are a little salty because Lana chose Roachella over Yosemite and it still stings...
Maybe there were one too many collabs...
Maybe the videos weren't as great as they could have been...
Many reasons lol

I was having a discussion about LFL with my boyfriend who is a musician and i mentioned that I disliked the trap/snare beats and thought they ruined some songs. He showed me how easy it is to make a beat like that on his music app and I was really surprised, it took him like 6 minutes to make a song that sounded just like Coachella. Aside from sounding ugly it just shows how easy it is to make songs based around those beats (aside from writing lyrics) and it was just kinda lame

i still think she shouldn't have asked max martin for input regarding the lfl song if the original version was more touching and i would love to hear the more heavy version of 13 beaches with the horror themed strings. (and cherry too could have used more of that treatment, it has a fascinating creepy sound i would have liked to be exacerbated  ​ )

the love mv was beautiful. i dreamt once to see  my veranda at night with huge colourful fast moving planets by the horizon and i think whomever edited the video should have coloured the planets more to make them stand out and give the video more life but it's still the best and most accomplished video of the era. the cinematography actually tells a story with the way the video is headed and because it fits the song perfectly ...  and even the b&w was used wisely
 
 
 
blue velvet, twin peaks ... look them up they look very lana btd era. he's a composer, musician, director, writer you name it with a particular creepy pastel aesthetic 
 
edit:
 

Tim is underrated

he's also the one who made gods and monsters with Lana which had amazing production, and cherry is basically gods and monsters pt 2 but with a different subject in the lyrics. I hope he's the main producer for ldr6

also lets not forget Go Go Dancer and OTTR. That man deserves RESPECT.
