Umaniac

I hate to admit it but this! I do get the intention behind the concept and it’s beautiful but it’s just a bad execution. It’s so noticeably that it’s just a random bts photo that someone snapped and they didn’t even try to bother fixing from the weird contrast to the eye tiring props. I’m pretty sure that the reason I love listening to bb is the cover and the reason I’m not listening chemtrails is also the cover.

I was pretty surprised to see that Neil actually shot those photos for lana, I thought they were just random Neil pics that Lana liked (which is totally fine). Makes me reassured that she specifically wanted the ocean aesthetic for the album.

This is my ideal set list for the festivals she does in summer. They contain the general hits and fun songs and purpose the “Lana Del Rey” image rather than promoting the latest records. FESTIVAL TOUR SUMMER 2023 1. Body Electric ( ending with guitar solo connecting to cherry) 2. Cherry 3. Born to Die 5. Chemtrails 6. Tulsa Jesus Freak 7. Black Bathing Suit 8. Brooklyn Baby 9. Cinnamon Girl (acoustic) 10. The greatest 11.Video Games 12. West Coast 13. Freak 14. Doin Time 15. Summertime Sadness 16. Venice Bitch

Though her voice was also struggling remember? Maybe a few reasons stacked up.

Anyway her lips look fucking amazing like??????

This is also why I enjoy when she references modern stuff in her music whether it’s masks, quarantine, iPad, nuclear tensions or whatever. I know she’s a big referencer of the past so when she uses modern stuff people thinks she breaks character and don’t like it when she does but she’s also a modern artist whose music is going to live ahead of her time and will be looked at from tens of years ahead.

I was listening to the Zane lowe interview below her page on Apple Music and at the end it plays Venice bitch the single version and to my surprise it sounds so much more wider and spacier then the album one????? If jack actually had the ability to produce like this then why do nfr sound so much cramped up?

Someone a few pages back said the title track sounds gorgeous with spatial audio so I just checked and it totally does! I think it’s her first song to actually support Dolby atmos so that’s why. Hope the whole album comes in this format!

Yep! I really love that powerful sound and it makes me super excited the album as well because I feel like we haven’t really gotten that sound from between lfl and bb

Honestly I can’t really point it but ever since bb the tone of her sounds uv to me. Maybe it’s the use of deeper register and also like singing a bit cursivish (?) on the higher notes?

I just listened the dark city snippet again since a person said it sounds recent a few answers up and I agree! Tho her voice has been sounding kinda uvish lately to me so it’s hard to differentiate. I also have the same confusion every time I listen iyldwm. Her vocals sound too new to be uv but too uv to be new? edit: also the dark city production sound too much like drews?

I haven’t noticed how flat jacks production was until I got decent headphones and I was shocked when yosetime with like 3 instruments sounded fuller than Tulsa or wild at heart☠️ I can’t remember if there’s a song on this album where jack is the solo producer which now gives me anxiety that I will irk every time I switch from drew one to jack one.

I didn’t really wanna chime in but this right here just shows dw is faking. Everybody here figured out that the “track list is false” the moment they saw it based on the writing credits and the dw didn’t go onto explaining why it’s false shows that they either don’t have info and are just making good takes or have little info.

Reading the lyrics and this is by far one of the most saddest Lana songs ever. Different from the days of uv and hm and the continuation of the questioning of fame and public eye. She knows people firstly judge her by her looks, she understood they won’t love her when her looks are gone and she’s no longer “young and beautiful”. And to me that’s sadder than a past relationship because she knows she can’t fix thousands of people’s opinion and she can’t ignore them either. Her only wish to be understood by her soul and her heart and she knows that’s just not happening. Also the don’t forget me to me feels like it’s directed to the fans. Public may have let her down but she hopes we don’t ever forget her (like the tunnel under the ocean blvd).

The way we have been on page 290+ for a zrillion years☠️

How did you do the painted sky?

I’m sorry but sweet Caroline is nowhere near a great gif or a good closer. And while I do think this album is something special and exciting I can’t trust jack or drew. Also her having fun doesn’t mean that the album is going to be good. I mean she said her and Dan fought the whole time during uv but look where it took us (I am not hoping this for her during making a record tho don’t get me wrong).

I don’t think robs “epic” means bombastic songs or big productions😭

Omg I always thought she was just mumbling stuff there I heard “I can see your opa”😭😭😭 shocked af to know that there’s actually a lyric there

I always thought the MAIN reason she removed it from the set list was the high notes. You can see her struggle a lot more in 2016 and also in some close notes in 2017 and hesitate to sing them or dodge them completely. I am sure she was also effected by the Weinstein thing and it upset her but her vocals probably took a role in that decision too.

I agree that they are not good songs but I’ll take their production over jacks any day. At least I can hear the instrumentals and the ambience unlike chemtrails.

Listened cult leader, big eyes, dealer, west coast back to back…then I stumbled across wild at heart…I do not miss jack

I feel like she’s moving way too fast. I’d rather have her release a proper well thought album next year than to have another hurried up album like bb and cocc. To me Nfr felt like the last album that really achieved what it was going for and had a clear concept while cocc and bb was just going with the flow and that flow was really…random

Yes! I still can’t comprehend bb as an album and understand the storyline because I can’t put the songs together. She could’ve easily take a live rendition of cb and nectar.

The iPhone I bought last year just doubled up in prices…
