I wish more had happened with this song, it’s legendary.

this is probably my fav lana song of all time..and to see such a stunning and strange video accompaniment for it after years of loving it legit makes me want to cry 

Bird world is life is Beautiful case..much hype for.... 

NFR title track is one of the most important songs of lana's career! we NEED to understand its evolution  i also just fucking love her introspective lyrics and the interesting melodies she comes up with so 

RUN... RUNNING WITH THE WOLVES OMG IT'S HAPPENING 

I got the beauty, got the brains
Got the power, hold the reins
I should be motherfucking crazy


Nothing in this world could change me

I dreamed the next single was called Dolphins and was a cute slow piano ballad with psychodelic summer vibes (like Doin' Time - Piano Version) and the cover was the same car selfie, but with palmtree, sand castle and crab stickers. (I'm not joking, I actually dreamed about this)

I don't remember who was talking about good quality headphones, but I seriously spent over 300 euros for HQ headphones last week and since then EVERY Lana song is like an INTENSE orgasm... TRUST ME, invest in good headphones (possibily with cancelling sound option) and you will not regret it. Save some money sparing with some vinyls of this biatch (i'm actually a poser because in the end I always buy every single f version of her albums) and focus also on the equipment 

Maybe "her revenge" is not to talk to media ever again and not giving a single promo shoot/interview 

here's a cropped version of the selfie

the difference in this is that the artist knew when to stop embellishing. 

Agreed. I think it's pretty clear what she's doing at this point and that it's not just her being lazy. The media has been brutal to her for her whole career and she has been very vocal about that and her desire for revenge. She looks so fed up on the cover, like she's just staring at the camera and thinking about all the shit she's been unfairly put through, and she's not going to accept it any longer. Of course she knew how people reacted when she first posted that cover, and then she proceeded to use the exact same image for all 3 singles, and hasn't said a word about it aside from briefly posting on Instagram and then deleting. I think she knows exactly what she's doing and this is all a part of her revenge. I personally think it's fascinating, especially given how brilliant the music is so far. Three of the best songs of her career and releasing them all together was a genius move. I'm surprised there isn't more press on the music but I wouldn't be surprised if the media is a little anxious about how to deal with her right now. Can't wait to see what comes next.

Another proof that it's Lana who decides how her music will sound.

but who cares about that tho? i don’t get why some people bring that twitter negativity over here. it’s enough for the right people to get the message and see the bigger picture in lana’s lyricism, not everybody is going to understand it 

You perfectly summed up how I feel about this record. It’s just so good and every song adds something to it as a whole. <3

Probably no one cares anymore now that we're in a new era but I'm gonna throw some love to this masterpiece anyways because I never really posted my full review in this thread.  This album really is going to age sooo beautifully, everything about it is exquisite. It's very calming but also so detailed and dynamic. Peaceful but heartbreaking too.
 
White Dress really is one of the best songs I've ever heard. It just hits so hard every single time. One of the most beautiful songs to ever explore the feeling of nostalgia. I love the way she sings it, and the repeated references to music are so special. Unique and spectacular.
 
Chemtrails remains as brilliant as it was when it first came out. Like a tornado coming and throwing us into the deep end. The contrast between the lyrical appreciation of the simple aspects of life, while an unsettling feeling builds beneath the surface is just stunning.

Tulsa Jesus Freak is soo good. Even though it's one of the more upbeat tracks, it somehow is getting sadder to me as time goes on. Like a memory of a simpler time when she thought that things would be white hot forever, but it's just an illusion at this point. The way the autotune throws her voice off at the end makes me feel like it's a film reel that's been scratched and skipping, and the layering as the song progresses is so subtly chaotic.
 
Let Me Love You Like a Woman has been beautiful since day one, and works even better in context of the album. A really warm and lovely song.
 
Wild at Heart is one of my favourites to just blast and drift away to. It somehow evokes both David Lynch energy and Live Laugh Love at the same time. 
 
Dark But Just a Game is another favourite for sure. Everything about the production on this track is so perfect to me. Sweet w-whatever baby is so addictive, and the way the song switches between the deeper beats and the folkier chorus works so well. An incredibly strong rejection of fame.
 
Not All Those Who Wander is so warm and simple and perfect. There's definitely a bit of darkness beneath the surface that I can't fully grasp my head around, but it makes the song even more interesting because the overall sound is so gentle.
 
Yosemite is a definite standout, the climax of the album in some ways. One of her best songs ever that took a few listens to really hit but once it did, WOW. The chorus is so peaceful, but there's such a lingering sadness to the song that breaks my heart. The bridge is an easy highlight of her whole discography, I get chills every time.
 
Breaking Up Slowly is by far the most underrated track and it disturbs me to see some of the rude things some people say about Nikki Lane. This song is such a brutal gut punch right after Yosemite, and an absolutely crucial moment on the album. Nikki's inclusion is so important, like she's a friend who comes to help through the darkest moment of this journey, or like Lana's taking comfort by listening to the radio and feeling a connection to the tragedies of her idols like Tammy Wynette. 
 
Dance Til We Die is so awesome and the perfect place for the album to be leading to. I love the shoutouts to the other icons, it feels like she's rightfully claiming her own seat at the table. My only criticism is that I wish the bridge was longer because it's just so good, but I get why it's not. This song is so needed after the heartbreak of the previous two tracks, and a beautiful ode to the friendships that get us through the darkest times. 
 
For Free is a really beautiful cover and I think it closes the album out perfectly. So much of this album is about Lana's relationship to fame, and this song explores those themes really beautifully. By inviting Zella and Weyes to join her, she's really embracing the community of musicians that she's been seeking for so long and has finally found, and is now extending it even further to others.
 
I love this album so much, it's 10's across the board for me and I am so thankful that it's a regular part of my life now, and will be forever. 
 

You are the most tasteless person ive ever seen in my life. Congrats-

Imagine writing off an album before you’ve heard it  because of some stupid cover posted on twitter. Jesus Christ... can't get more shallow and superficial than that. Lana needs to send a big fuck you to her ''fans'' and leave social media for good. Just concentrate on music. 

Some of y’all need to go outside and touch some grass...... 

even if the bruises are intentional, so what? it's art, she's an artist, it's a form of expression, perhaps she is expressing some sort of trauma?? sevdaliza had a black eye on her album cover, it's ironic how people encourage others to speak up about their traumas yet when it's expressed artistically and visually it's considered "glamorizing"

i still love the idea of bird world being a record title...
 
'running with the wolves'
'bird world'
 
quickly look for animal euphemisms 

Honestly, for me, just being able to tell her how much she's impacted me would be enough. She's literally the only artist I listen to that I've never gone through a period of growing tired of and not listening to for a bit. She's a major constant in my life and her music manages to resonate with me throughout all the changes I go through. I do think it'd be nice to give her a more personal gift if I were to give her something. Maybe a notebook or diary sort of thing that's personalized/made specifically for her

im not streaming it at all honestly i prefer my vinyl
