Is it her best? No, not at all. But it’s not that bad either. The production is good except for the trap beat, that sounds cheap on that song (it works on other tracks, but not that one), and the second verse about critics and FJM is kinda meh. The outro is good and the chorus is very nice.
She should have kept it as a stand-alone single rather than put it on LFL.

I’m not too worried about that: She is one of the few artists out there that has a super consistent and evolving body of work. She knows what she’s good at while still trying to push towards new sound with each album. She hasn’t put out a bad album, and at least four of them are already legendary and/ or masterpieces. A first album isn’t usually that strong and consistent, but BTD made history.
I was worried about the audiobook at first, since it was not supposed to sound that finished and polished at first, but I’m glad she took her time and asked Jack. It already sounds amazing.

I hope youre right! im sure you will be!

Over and over honey*

Paradise has one of her best productions but y'all aren't ready for this tea

I just realized I want her to stop saying one word over and over in her songs

One of my absolute favourites too. Everyone trashes it way too much
 
Blue Velvet got featured in a H&M ad
Cola & Ride were basically a cultural reset
Body Electric, Bel Air and Gods & Monsters were featured in her short film
Yayo was the only throwback from her Lizzy Grant days
Burning Desire was used in an ad for Jaguar 
 
What's not to love?

I guess it’s because Paradise falls into a gray area: some think it’s an album or EP on its own; some say it’s the same album as BTD, it’s part two. I guess the people loving BTD the most often include Paradise in it. I honestly loved Paradise better than BTD for a long time. It’s true that every song is perfect on it. And MV-wise, it’s her best album. All the MV are superb and Tropico is a cultural (and underrated) gem.

Why does no one ever mention Paradise?! Every song on that is a classic for me and Tropico is iconic.

approximately 49 days til the album's out. i'm shook. this is literal bliss compared to the nfr pre-release era 

nothing ever will, but im at peace w that

cocc won't top Honeymoon I said it
 

I'm still in disbelief we're getting a new album. I remember when The Greatest was released, everyone said it's a hint that Lana is gonna take a long hiatus from music (Miss doing nothing the most of all). And now we'll have a brand new album in under 2 months! 

I hope this album either has an interlude or one really long song (or both)

she wore flannels all the time pre ultraviolence you guys overthink everything  

Bitch don’t give us spoken interludes. We got a whole audio album with spoken poems

Yasss u sexyslut

I regret all of my slanderous comments against Honeymoon being boring. I've come to my senses and realized its her best album to date 

she should've done more rap features back in the day. she can sing a hook and devour a bridge like no other. 
 
i know she was getting offers too, she just said no to everybody    

Listening again, I think it sounds a lot like Teacher's Pet, which I like. 
Teachers Pet and Show & Tell seem to be the only ones that have a sound flowing straight out of Cry Baby, even if they are a slower pace.

it's ridiculous how few (real) demos of her songs we have...

Video Games
Yayo (Paradise Edition)
Fine China
Black Beauty
The Other Woman
Art Deco
Wild One
Cherry Blossom
Lust for Life (Demo version)
Beautiful People (Demo version)
Heroin
Change
Happiness is a Butterfly

She probably said nothing about Chemtrails for two reasons:
1- not to confuse fans with too many projects at once (even here, we were kinda confused about Violet, Chem and Behind the iron gates, what was what and what was released with what).
2- out of respect for Violet, which was a long time in the making, you don’t mention the next steps of the next project right away. Plus we would have harassed her about bundles with Chem in it, let’s face it.
