Moon River

Fans when they find out that celebrities are humans too:

whining about an artist in a topic about said artist you don't like for attention, a tale as old as time here on lanaboards 

I live for the day when people will stop harming disabled people by promoting magicians and potion-masters from the middle ages across their platforms. LIKE STOP NOW

I don't know why we are calling 5 sentences an essay now and we're calling random strangers "sis" or "babe", but work I guess
 
Well jokes are also supposed to be funny you know. 
 
I'm sorry to hear you suffer from CFS and having people afflict themselves with certain diseases is annoying, but we shouldn't assume those things with no further knowlegde and mock/joke about that in my opinion. 

what an odd thing to say! lol

close enough, drop the album

THEY'RE SO UNSERIOUS LMAOOOOO

Yes

why does nobody talk about the grail that ag cook revealed the existence of once and never mentioned again
screamer! dreamer's angsty twin sister!

It might just be me but I really want the original Charli demo of I Love It. 

The food chain really did fuck some of you up, hun??? 
Anyway. Even if this thread looks like and endless vortex of discussing the same themes, I like to participate!
 
Love + Fear sessions had a really boppy and decent album buried in there. Not sure how we got what we got in the end (ok I know "2 main emotions! concept!" etc instead of "Ok so this is a collection on BANGERS! ENJOY xx") but don't matter what happened in the room, that album would always lack personality or just bring her worst tendencies.
 
Edit: by the way, do we have everything from L+F? I believe there's a snippet of "Ordinary World" (?) leaked but no full song, but that's it?? 
 
Now Ancient Dreams... there's a lot to unpack there. Especially because I hear the album as 2 different things being merged together; the "social commentary" part but also the songs that were personal and about her recent heartbreak. Purge the Poison & New America are bad (from lyrics to production) while the title track & Man's World are sort of... You can ignore the lyrics and bop along\vibe. Venus Fly Trap is pretty good and balanced out. But the more personal songs are mostly truly great gems, sorry: Flowers, Goodbye & I Love You but I Love Me More are songs she's selling the fuck out of them. Highly Emotional People is a career highlight from every point of view (lyrics, production, vocals). I will say I don't really care about Pandora's Box and can't remember how it goes at all BUT I do like the concept\metaphor... and the deluxe ones: Pink Convertibles is the same crap from the social commentary and I have no idea why people were craving it, Free Woman is useless and Happy Loner is cute but if we really decided to go with personal songs only... we'd be here saying WHERE THE BOPS AT???
 
Oh and unpopular opinion maybe (?) but Cuz I'm a Woman should have been part of the album. It fits perfectly between the themes, the song is catchy and it just works.
 
The whole cringe discourse is complicated when Marina herself has hinted that she cringes at stuff like... Obsessions. Which I personally see as one of the greatest songs ever created (no hyperbole). And at same time, while Electra Heart is one of the albums that I'll take for THE REST OF MY LIFE, stuff like "Teen Idle", which used to be something super deep and close to me, now sounds... silly. "Sixteen and burning up a bibble \ feeling super super super suicidal" is iconic but... cringe. 
 
Sometimes I think she just ran out of things she wanted (or........better: HAD) to say. When she gets it right, she gets it right and I know she's still talented as fuck and whenever she's ready, there will be more stellar albums to come.
 
 

so sorry marinaboards but #that comment pissed me off like how dare you be transphobic especially on THIS site… @creditcardromancer you dumb whore. ANYWAY, let’s stream marina’s magnum opus, lonely hearts club!

not terfboards omg...

I will throw a vocal coach at her 

…nobody thinks that or has ever said that lmao

i doubt many fans have any hope of that

How can anyone call her discography consistent when it’s all one-off singles, two “mixtapes” (one failed debut, and one disposable EP) and now a “debut” album with material from different scrapped projects and sounds nnnnn.
 
You can be a stan and still not be delusional. Kim’s career is a MESS. 

oh yall know damn well lana ain't quitting stop being dramatic this woman does 250 songs a year she's not stopping any time soon

The way I don’t care  it’s not like her IG has been that interesting in recent years no offence 

is the eclipse exclusive in the room with us now

If radio gets on board with this it will be absolutely massive 
 
they should try to push it on pop stations, I really don’t see why it wouldn’t get decent spins there
 
the most random songs of hers become hits I swear, the fact that this and doin time will probably end up being some of her “biggest” commercial hits is hilarious 

I feel like I’d be a bit fuming too if my old song started doing better than the stuff she’s currently creating.. I dunno.. I think I’d take it personally 

yup yup

It was meant to have an outro though, so we’re not sure how it was meant to play out.. maybe the vision will become clear next week! Tbf I think video games is a good closer.. it’s full circle from where she started, and the sentiment is still the same but different, she endures the fame for the love of her fans
