    1. Where are UV & HM?
    2. If BTD is minimalist what is NFR?
    3. These lines are so poor and sad for them.

    Those reviews are terribly and so wrongly written Born to Die, a minimalist masterpiece? Out of all lines on Norman (her wordiest record), they had to choose "I'm the void" just to fulfill their suicidal perspective on her?

    Leave the man alone. You don't know him, so you shouldn't be calling him.

    This is not meant as a personal attack on anyone, just some perspective on the vegan criticism in this thread:
     
    Has Lana actually ever said that she's vegan/ against fur within recent time?
    Cause otherwise it seems a tad unreasonable to project your own values onto her and accuse her of hypocracy.
     
    You can of course still criticize her for wearing fur but remember:
     - Almost all chemicals, including those in medicine, are tested on animals.
    - Our houses, roads, hospitals and schools displace and kill animals as we build them.
    - Vegetable farming kills animals as well through i.e. pest control and harvesting
    I'm not saying being vegan isn't reducing animal harm but that's all you do. Reduce,not eliminate.
    We're part of an ecosystem where we inevitably embarge on animal lives, simply because we're alive. 
     
    In itself, fur is really not this totally different moral class of harm than the other many ways we use and embarge on animal lives through our lives (yes, vegans too). Especially not if it's sustainably sourced. It's just a very visible reminder of how we hurt animals and I think that's why it provokes a stronger reaction than say the building of a highway (highways are terrible for biodiversity and animal lives in general).
    I understand that reaction but it makes the criticism seem a bit arbitrary and not well thought out.
     
    That being said I find that real fur teddy oddly creepy as well, like it's gonna come alive in the night and murder me. It has that Buffalo Bill vibe

    Yes, so there's another lie in there somewhere. Which part is the lie, only she knows.

    If she's going to re-wear clothes on stage, for the love of god, let it be the gorgeous dresses she wore from 2011-2013.

    Lana's cop boyfriend just posted a video of her in his instagram stories.

    this is such a tough one. not saying our feelings are lana's responsibility bc, of course, they're not!! but even if she feels differently now to how she felt when she wrote and recorded those songs, a lot of us love those songs so much because we connect to them on a deep, personal and emotional level. even if we no longer feel how we did when we first connected to them in the same way lana probably doesn't (i mean many of us were just babiesssss when born to die was released!) it's still cathartic to relive or even bury those emotions thru the music. that's why live shows are so awesome when you have a deep connection to the artist. i can sing "I HAVE NOOOOTTTHHHIIIIIINNNGGGG WITHOUT YOUUUUU" while actually laughing at the fact that i once felt that way towards someone, now that my mentality's changed. lana clearly has a very different mindset. she seems SO determined to distance herself HARD from her past work, as if she's embarrassed she ever felt or wrote those things. i get it, in a way, but i also find it to be such a shame. we love the music, we connect to it, why won't she embrace that? let us have our melodramatic i looooooost myself when iiiii loooost yooooooou moment while singing along to TLY lana, dammit!!

    When HM came out, she claimed TLY was her favorite track on the album, so it would be a mystery as to why she would dislike it now.

    i'm with you! if people are enjoying the discussion then who cares. it's what the thread is for, surely?

    Regardless of how standard the setlist is this tour has just proven Lana's total love for the music. While some other sell outs release make up lines, throw out singles every 2 weeks and chase trends, Lana's love for the music is just so clear particularly with this album. From specifically choosing to tour the smaller cities to bringing out more indie artists to open for and sing with her to meeting fans in the snow. There are no other artists of her size that are this genuine.

    Ignore those posters who bully and intimidate others here. They’re legion. There’s about three dozen who feel they essentially own this site and endlessly harass those they dislike. Block them.
     
    There should be free expression here and no bullying or harassment. If someone doesn’t like or agree with something, ignore it.

    As a normative statement, I agree with this. As an empirical one... have you met LanaBoards?
