American Whore

i think it'd be so fucking meta and iconically funny if lana read this fucking thread like imagine being someone with a dedicated website about you that you read. that seems very silly lol but i honestly wouldn't be totally surprised

wait reads this thread? i'm confused lol wdym

I SCREAMED

Judging by Lana's posts, it seems she understands this and that must be the point of this album. That the critics aren't going to like it and she understands this, just like I was saying. Some may, if they get it they get it, but if not then so be it. She's making the music she likes making and I'm here for it. The more content she has, the more she has to write about and more ideas she wants to put in our ears, I'm fine with it. Even if it's something the critics don't get. There's something about getting older which is funny I'm in my mid 20s but there's something about that and caring less about what other people think. Sometimes that can be destructive but clearly Lana has used it to her advantage, rather than destroying her career or her discography. Look at Kanye, he's done the opposite of what she's done meanwhile he's been put to such high expectations nobody's ever really satisfied by what he's doing anymore. Then again, he's also making Nazi jokes or Nazi statements so there's that too... but it's just interesting seeing two very opposite perspectives of the same idea happening, almost mirroring each other. Lana doesn't care because she expects bad reviews and expects to be shat on so she's making some of her least held back, most vulnerable lyrics, meanwhile Kanye expects high praise and high reviews so in ways he doesn't care anymore because he sees himself as a narcissistic genius. I guess my point here is that Lana is still somehow in her prime. Whether this is a 10/10 or a 5/10, the woman has managed to continue writing some of her best work this far into her discography. It reminds me of what I thought after UV, HM, and NFR released-- it just makes me wonder where she goes from here.

You all need to realize, critics are not fans of the music they listen to. They listen to so many new releases that they would probably not even play the same thing twice. An 80/100 or 8/10 is a high enough review that that's not bad. that's 4/5 stars. Considering some of the lyrics on this album, specifically at the end and i don't want to put this in spoilers because I'm not spoiling anything, I'm surprised they didn't feel any type of way. Maybe they didn't pay attention to the lyrics, who knows. But they aren't Lana fans. They've probably heard her music before, they know it's good but they don't find it to be life changing. A lot of us have a grandiose expectation from her and sometimes we feel we get what we want so it's automatically "brilliant" and the music IS good imo, but I couldn't see this being a 10/10, 100/100 album. It's good, but at the same time it's long in places that shouldn't be and short in places it shouldn't be. The interludes are about 2 minutes too long, the last three tracks of the album are about 3 minutes too short each track, and the album is still good. The critics never love Lana, it's something we'll always have to deal with. Lana needs to accept it herself. Realize the music is there for those who care to listen and who care to give it a try, but it's also not going to hit with everyone. Sometimes her music is only for some people who get it.

i got the interview magazine today and it's beautiful

wait what??? what did i miss today?!?!

fishtails keeps coming on today and it hits just right idk who turned it on repeat but

You seem new to the Lana fandom

girl it leaked in HQ idk what you mean

thank you!!!!!! we see you

didn't someone mention how the album leak without candy necklace was from before they added it? so maybe what we have right now is an earlier version, i think you're onto something

either the original source of the leak didn't obtain that OR they left it out intentionally and someone they sent it to leaked the album without candy necklace

You forgot: - LDR 10 announced

it's not about having someone to move my posts anymore (oh... ok) no this is the experience of being an american SLUT!!!!! (just wait for LDR10 when American Slut A&W pt. 2 releases ) edit: wait no it'll be called London Sluttin

yeah like let us fucking do what we're fucking doing and moving all the posts just took people out of this thread.... it makes 0 sense but whatever i guess.

Yes! You can. The method I used made it to where I just downloaded each pack one by one that I needed (I only paid for cats and dogs so I skipped that one when adding to my game) and during the process of adding the packs, you'll just move all the DLC files to your game and you'll be good. It's a little janky though, for my best friend who is on Windows, she has issues if she opens her game, closes it, then reopens so be sure to close the launcher all the way, then reopen it to start the game. On Mac I'm still on Origin so I had to do the same thing I guess? Idk it's weird. But it also still works online with the Gallery and whatnot. And closing/reopening the launcher is a very small price to pay compared to $600+ for all the packs lol I can post the link to where I learned how to do it if anyone is interested. It's kind of a convoluted method but it's easy once you do it.
