  3. I know, but like you always say king, this is a forum and I can express my opinion that album ranking fights are annoying
  4. I think he said that he wishes there was an album trailer with The Grants in the background because it's gorgeous and cinematic
  5. If one side of a Vinyl holds up to 22 minutes, with A&W being over 7, title track 4:45, I think it's possible that it will be over 5 minutes if Sweet is indeed a shorter track
  6. It's not a stretch, but it's also not in your face obvious as "I just ride," "candle in the wind," "Blue," "I love you," nor is it exploring a very similar theme or idea; it's actually the complete opposite in meaning from Norman? and exactly what @Mer said
  7. I think the world, and this forum, would be better off if LDRAKALG was on streaming services
  8. Huh? I'm lost on this one. Fuck me to death? Love me until I love myself? How is that a re-use of "Goddamn man child, you fucked me so good, I almost said I love you" The words love and fuck? There are plenty of motifs throughout Lana's entire career that are much more apparent. I think you're reaching here!
  9. Period. There's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting a return to that sound. It's the sense of entitlement when we are one of the luckiest fanbases out there, with over a hundred unreleased tracks & constant musical output that bothers me sometimes
  10. I personally don't think the new track is a rehash of the past three albums. The lyricism on the title track, while being most similar to the lyricism on Blue Banisters is still quite different from songs on that record too. More use of extended metaphor, less cliches, and a little bit more stream of consciousness in a way that has only really been explored in "Blue Banisters" and "Hope is a Dangerous Thing" (which both songs sound VERY different from each other). Sonically, I guess I could see how people would think she's just rehashing the sound from Norman onward, but I still don't fully agree with that because she creates a different world on every single album, and I can't imagine the title track fitting on any of them. That's the most important thing for me as a listener; her music might not be a complete reinvention every single album, but as long as I can still distinguish between each record and the world that she makes for them, I am more than satisfied. Norman has a beachy, soft rock aesthetic, Chemtrails has a folky, midwest vibe, Blue Banisters explored a more personal world of her home life, a world of stability and how her family and loved ones have shaped her career. Did you know that there's a tunnel under ocean blvd, with what we know so far, seems to be more psychological, stream of consciousness, going beneath the surface of how her aesthetic sensibilities operate in a diaristic fashion. All of these ideas and aesthetics are unique to me, and I can't seem to wrap my head around the critique that she's "making the same album over and over again" except in a more personal, honest writing style as opposed to the storytelling approach of her earlier career.
  11. I'm just messing with king @West Coast, but yes I agree it's very annoying
  12. thinking about The Grants, Did you know that there's a tunnel under ocean blvd?, Sweet, A&W, track 5, Candy Necklace, track 7, track 8, Fingertips, track 10, track 11, track 12, track 13, track 14, track 15, and track 16.
  13. hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but I have it is one of her greatest songs to date
  14. if you don't like XYZ lana song or album, fuck you! - this forum
  15. Are we having another "I don't know how it's possible that another person can have a different opinion than mine" debate March 10th hurry
  16. Yeah, I'm starting to wish she would have waited until after the New Year to announce this and release the title track. My god the next 2.5 months are going to be exhausting
