Has Lana every done anything like normal people?

honestly i feel like the second half of honeymoon holds up a LOT better than the second half of ultraviolence

Those "production flaws" that NFR has, whether intentional or not, do not make the record sound more unique and raw. It just sounds cheap, but despite that I still think it's a pretty solid record. We can still have our own opinions on it. And I apologize for throwing around the word "delusional" regarding other's personal opinions, I didn't take much thought into it. 

Some of yall keep saying that people are coming from the piano/acoustic driven sound she went for the vast majority of songs on the album, but I literally only see people (very much including me) criticizing the piss poor mastering and flawed production of the record. Get out of here with these sketchy claims. 
 
If you want to base your appreciation for an album based on what critics say instead of making your own opinion, well that's your prerogative. But looking back that's kind of stupid, Lana has released stellar albums that literally got obliterated by the very same critics that gave rave reviews to NFR. She literally released one of the, if one the most popular and influential album of the 2010s, that's literally still charting to this day. Now you're trying to act as if it aged like sour milk, while it actually still sounds fresh seven years later (Born To Die is that girl).
 
I can't with you Jack Stroganoff stans, whew.
 

why are y'all trying to convince urselves the flaws in the production department were intentional!! literally having vocals that cut off awkwardly instead of properly fading out, very obvious volume increases (and i have hearing issues so that i assume that shit is VERY obvious to other people), and half filtered out white noise is not the way u make things sound ""cheap"" or ""nostalgic""

Agree, she said that she spends months mastering her records, but there are obvious flaws and amateur-ish mistakes that came through sonically... why does it sound so bad then? 
 
 
Yeah, but like most of the records doesn't even sound folky. NFR ain't no folk album.

So you mean to tell me that Lana (and her yes man Jack) intentionally made most of the instrumentals sound flat and dry, purposefully omitted bass on pretty much 99% of the album AND championed a very unequal, unpolished and uncooked approach for the production and mastering of the record? Hmmmmm sorry, but no.
 
Both Ultraviolence and Honeymoon are miles ahead in terms of recording quality and/or soundscape. They are timeless classics. Brooklyn Baby, Shades of Cool, West Coast, Sad Girl, Pretty When You Cry, Honeymoon, Music To Watch Boys To, Terrence Loves You, Salvatore and The Blackest Day (and even Heroine and Get Free) obliterate the production and mastering of every single songs on NFR.
 
I cannot actually believe that we are fighting over the production of this record when we have so much amazing music from Lana (as well as many of her contemporaries) to actually compare it too, like it's painfully obvious that the attention to detail to create a top notch atmospheric sound was totally lost on this record.
 
I don't need anyone's "bias" over at Pitchfork to convince me otherwise, I know Lana has had better production days. 

you're just so *quirky* huh?

Cool little interview.

ohh so not the song but the place? 

She mentions during the part wher she is talking about the album title that she was driving in Yosemite with Chuck and they were talking

Am I going crazy or did I miss the mention of Yosemite??

Here is the full thing
She said she goes to the gym and does power lifting.
She talked about choosing the font for the album cover and the story about the album title
She mentions Yosemite and the american dream
She was asked what is the american dream for her
The guy asked her some question at the very end that she didn't like but he said it so fast I didn't understand what it was

She mentioned Fordham though
she studied there

So she remembers her address from 20 years ago but she can't remember lyrics to NFR songs

her alzheimer's got to her and she no longer believes she was a metaphysics student..... literally stunning

ummm i don't know if this has been discussed on the forum before or not but today i came across a video on yt of the live performance of daddy issues, and scrolling down i saw a few people saying her new cop toy was standing in the back with her dad, so i checked, and it does look like him tbh, but i don't really see his face that well.
here's the vid (sorry it isn't embedded, don't know how that works, too lazy to look it up now) :

he (or maybe someone else?) can be seen at the right, in his signature white tshirt, next to Lana's dad.
so what do you guys think? is it him?

Looks like they didn't pay anything. Could be Lana's fame got them in free. 

Sean Larkin was with her at the Bob Dylan show......

I'm Brazilian so I don't know about what this guy represents in America. I believe Lana is attracted to him and gave it a go really. Maybe she didn't think about him being what you guys researched and found out. Just hope he doesn't hurt our Queen of Coney Island. Sincerely. I'm sorry if I offended anyone, I'm just a LDR fan quite biased.

RormanNockwell,
I'm sorry if I judged you or something but I think you're being too hard on Lana.
She has issues like we all do at the end of the day.

don't mean to be rude but I think it's not fair to say that Lana is not grateful or not good with her fans I mean cmon, she takes a lot of pictures every day, kisses them, hugs them, talks to them during the show, signs a lot of things, even goes out before and after to talk with everyone and take pics again... there are just few artists in the industry who have that behavior with their fans and she's one of the most dedicated artists out there, btw I understand the annoyance of dating a cop but I think that being aware of what they do all the time in their free time or with their life is going a little too far idk

Don't be mad at LDR. The last thing she needs is negativity from her fans.
I'm sure she does her best and her heart is in the right place.
 
 

The racist cop boyfriend was in today's San Diego show. Here you see him walking out with Lana after the show and greeting fans. 
 
Here's the video
