Rick Nowels is alive and kicking then! Dude needs to get back on twitter. I wonder if he was talking about his past very early endeavours or more recent...
Oh no! We have another asshat member who thinks they know better than the thousand of us already here! I have a name for this phenomena. It's called the 'Basic Bitch' syndrome:
Your condescending, egotistical tone is not appreciated on this forum. It makes you look like an ill mannered, un-educated idiot. Did somebody shit in your chest cavity today? Were you recently part of a human centipede or do you actually talk shit all the time? Do you talk this way to your friends (but of course, I doubt you have any by the way you present yourself).
You can act as high and mighty all you want but it's not gonna make the people around you love you any more than they already hate you (including everybody on this forum). I have some news to break to you buddy, you are not smart and you are most certainly not polite. You think you're the shit but in reality, you are not. You are a rude pretentious asshole arguing on a forum. I'm comfortable telling you this, not only because I started this topic 3 months and 73 pages ago, but because statistically I am better than you and I am putting you in your place. Here's some visual proof.
Everybody fucking knows that Lana did not record an album in one day. She started working way before Tropico was announced. That's why we know about Trans Am. Black Beauty is from early 2013 so she has obviously been working on Ultraviolence for over a year and we all fucking know it. We don't need your simple minded ass telling us shit we already know!
"And you think an artist as big as Lana is going to make an entire album of her and ONE producer." Of course not, you fucking dimwitted shit brained idiot! We already know the confirmed producers. I've listed them in the OP. I've even talked to Dan Heath myself. You're not dropping any groundbreaking news here bud. All artists work differently. Lana worked solely with David Kahne for AKA and she can do it again if she damn well chooses, but we know that's not the case.
"When I say record, I don't mean just RECORD vocals." Well surprisingly, you will discover that the world does not revolve around you and that the word 'record' has many several meanings. Many people can interpret this as many different things. "I mean the songwriting, production, etc." Oh, so then you didn't mean 'recording' then? Make up your mind . There are many stages to creating an album and to call it all 'recording' would be misuse of that verb wouldn't it? When someone is 'recording' an album, they are most likely talking about vocals, my friend.
"Record in a day. Record what? fart sounds?" I don't think you understand the concept of time. Let's use mathematics! An album is 45 minutes long and there are 24 hours in a day. How many times does 0.75 divide into 24? Of course you don't know because you were obviously educated in a barn, as I am guessing by your lack of manners. An artist, realistically can record an album in one day if they wanted to. We are not saying that Lana did, we are just talking about the concept of 'recording an album in a day' in general. When I told you that Paradise was recorded in one take, you replied: 'I can't even comprehend your post!" Well that's not surprising, but I will extend my knowledge to the mentally deficient.
Time-wise, Lana's vocals theoretically could have all been recorded on the same day (wow, that's crazy!) She entered the studio, sang all of her songs over some demo instrumentals and left the building! This theoretically could have happened! "Are you implying when Lana "Record" an album she simply goes in the studio and sing/record vocals and that's it." Well sir, if you managed to read my comment, I said: "if the producers made the instrumentals beforehand, an album can easily be made in a couple of days." Here, I was talking about an album in general and not Paradise.
Lana does not need to stand behind Dan Heath with a whip shouting at him while he produces the strings to Bel Air now does she? She can easily drop in and out of recording sessions. She recorded Young & Beautiful when Baz Luhrmann was in a different country to her! Wow, technology! Paradise is pretty short. Even if each song took a whole day, it still could (hint: could) have been completed in one and a half weeks! (Crazy! I know you don't understand the concept of time so I will stop talking about this in fear of overloading your brain.)
"I know that Paradise vocals were recorded in one take because you can hear the differences in verse 1 and verse 2." I would rather pour gasoline all over myself and jump through a flaming hoop than read one of your sloppy replies. Of course there are differences in verse 1 and verse 2. That's because they are verses. Verses in songs are usually the same melodically but with different lyrics! If you listen closely, you might be able to hear that they are different! Otherwise, in the case that you meant 'chorus', I have to let you know that recording a chorus twice will only literally extend recording time by 30 seconds every time it's sang. 30 seconds does not make much of a difference on the overall recording time.
"I mean i'm not an artist." I am glad that you are self aware. Children are not usually aware of their own bodies until around 9 months. I'm happy that you have grown to understand what you are and what you are not. Here's something else in which you are not: an expert. Nobody is of course insinuating she scrapped everything and started work with Dan Auerbach in the past few days. Nobody is that fucking crazy to believe that (though, you are pretty fucking crazy for believing that we believe it.) Like I said before, we know long she worked on it. Over a year. Why would she announce the album in December at the Tropico premiere if she started working on it in mid-February with Dan Auerbach? Take a chill pill and don't taking everything so literally. Auerbach most likely placed the finishing touches on each song of the album (which is why she's comfortable presenting it as his as well as hers, since he probably tinkered with the songs last.) This was just a way to announce that a new producer was being introduced to Lana's fold.
"I need a break and stop coming here for a while again because I can't take it." I think you do too! Maybe one of our admins can help you take an extra extra long break! Why not go for a permanent break under the banhammer? I'm sure one of our admins will kindly offer it to you. "Look at me I'm recording my voice using my iPhone. I just made my very own album." Are you insinuating that Sirens is a bad album? This is exactly what Lana did in her early career (well maybe not an iPhone). Studio quality isn't everything. I wouldn't care if Lana recorded Ultraviolence using her asshole, it'll still be a work of art and your condescending high-tech talk is killing my brain cells. What's wrong with using an iPhone? If Lana didn't have her iPhone we wouldn't have that beautiful video for Summer Wine you ungrateful piece of filth.
Lola: "Why are you getting so riled up, Ultra-Violence? You have no idea how Lana has worked on past albums or on this one so calm down and stop acting like you know everything." Lola knows all. You should listen to Lola. Statistically she is also better than you in every single possible way so don't you even dare sass her or else I'm sure she will have no hesitation in smacking you up. You need to listen to her. Take some Ambien and calm the fuck down.
Have you released an album on a major record label? No. I'm not Lola and I definitely have no hesitation in telling you to shut the fuck up. You know the same amount as anybody on the internet. I.E you are not a special snowflake in any way so quit acting like one. You talk more shit than an Azealia Banks in one of her rap songs and you're just generally just exhausting to listen to. We're exhausted feeling sorry for you so you can do yourself a favour and stop talking before I ram you off your high horse into a pile of shit that you spilled from your own mouth. The prestigious ChairCola award for most time-wasting and tiring posts goes to you my friend. Goodbye.

Imagine Dan doing production on a new version of Black Beauty...now that would be gorgeous. The stripped down version would be wonderful as it is with the synth and simple production, but the bridge needed to be completely reworked.
So Wikipedians won't allow Lana's real birth year to be corrected even though there's sources, but they'll allow these titles to be listed as Ultraviolence tracks without any sourcing? Someone please correct this. I can't be bothered. Also, that whole "Intended album" column needs to die a fiery painful death. There's virtually zero evidence to say almost any of those tracks were "intended" for any of her major label albums. People stating this as fact is really one of my pet peeves with this fanbase.
I honestly don't like Lana and Rob hyping the album up and I'm trying to ignore what they're saying so I'm not disappointed when I hear it. Because really, what's so dark it's almost unlistenable? Maybe super experimental industrial rock with screamed lyrics about child molestation or some shit. Lana's already sung about sex, death, suicide, violence and Lolita stuff and to some extent domestic violence but how much can she really write about it? I mean it's not like her life is riddled with darkness, she lives in a big house in L.A., goes to Starbucks every morning and sometimes drives to the beach with Barrie.
I don't like Ridin', cause it irks me how ASAP Rocky calls Lana his bitch. I realize that she doesn't mind and it's just a song!!!11, but I find it really problematic from all point of views. I don't like when men demeaning their significant others is being presented as something good or even cool.
Even if it wasn't the whole intent, that's what a lot of people are gonna get.
It's one thing when women reclaim the word bitch, but no men should use. To me, it's as bad as if Lana was playfully calling Rocky the n-word...
I agree it's better than "Blue Velvet" (which I like very much...). Feels as though the song had always been meant for Lana. Her colour of voice really does for such songs.
Drive By (aka For K (Part 1) or Sirens or Pretty Baby)
