poetic jess

i cant even appreciate how cute these pics are because everytime they pop up im just irritated and reminded that we still dont have any album news... if she wants us to think her lifestyle is cute then she's gotta FEED US FIRST...
 
i hate that im hating on her but LANA WE DONT CARE ABOUT THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW :defeated:

That's the only good thing that could come out of this

can they at least convince her to dye her hair blonde as well?

who are these IG randoms she's suddenly bffs with? 

Maybe I'm serious No but seriously if I read "Venice Bitch is *insert plain jane adjective here*" one more time I'm gonna have an aneurysm. Like can people at least say what they like about it? Like is it the guitar? The vocal delivery? How do you feel about the lyrics? Is it the breakdown? Is it the aliens attacking noises at the end? Like there's so much more to say that "Venice Bitch is amazing" and just repeating yourself everyday
I think it's the fact that every other album had a cohesive sound, and Lust For Life just feels like a cluster fuck of concepts. The songs are all good alone, but together it's like a pizza and ice cream smoothie. I don't want that shit together

lfl's problem wasn't quantity it was the last minute decisions and changes and the album having several messy directions and themes
 
uv is "bloated" but that shit is quality top to bottom including the outtakes 

No, thank you. Should have kept it at 11...not here for a bloated mess like LFL. 

remember when November felt dry? lmao

RIP NFR Era
7 September 2018- 9 January 2019

Sorry for the long paragraphs, but I wanted to include my reasons too lol...
 
1. Ultraviolence: Honestly NFR is a contender to share a spot with this album, but we'll see once it's out. UV is at the top for me because I feel like it perfectly executes the sound she was going for, the atmosphere, the album artwork (Neil did AMAZING work), the performances during this era (this was the first era I saw her live), the singles, the writing. Even the songs I don't absolutely love from this album, they're still great to me.
2. Paradise: I had a hard time choosing b/w P and BTD for #2, but for now it's Paradise. It has a shorter track list than BTD, but for me the songs sound like there was more care put into the production. The visuals, the concept of the album (Adam and Eve + "paradise lost"), the TROPICO/RIDE short films- UGH. It's just all consistently good art.
3. Born to Die: Although this is #3, I consider this a classic, and although some people say her writing was very immature on this album, I have to disagree. I love the lyrics on this album, and miss the descriptive writing she used to have in her songs. Do I want BTD 2.0? Hell no, but I appreciate it for what it is and it's one of her greatest. The music videos were great, the performances during this time make me nostalgic, and you can't deny how much influence Lana made in the music industry with this album!
4. AKA/Sirens: I feel like these albums are under appreciated when it comes to her "unreleased work". If you exclude, Brite Lites (I prefer the demo of it), Put Me In a Movie (the song makes me uncomfortable now lmao), and Birds of a Feather, the rest of the songs on these two albums are amazing. Some of my favorites are Jump, Pretty Baby, For K, Part 2, Next to Me, My Momma, Kill Kill. Even the visuals during the AKA era are still cute to me. All these two albums needed was a good production and taking out 1 or two songs.... *cough* the ones I mentioned *cough*
5. Honeymoon: So at first this album was my least favorite and I'd only listen to a few select songs at first. But over time, after getting into the right mood, the right place, and listening to the album fully, I like it and appreciate it more now. What stops it from being high on my list though is... don't kill me, but the production. For songs like Honeymoon, Terrence Loves You, God Knows I Tried, and a few others, the instrumentation suits and really elevates the songs! BUT, for me something is still missing for MTWBT, Freak needed lyric changes ("stranger than a stranger" still makes me cringe... and this used to be one of my favorites and now it's one of my worst!) AND production changes- tell me why HBTB aged so good for me even with those trap beats, but didn't work for me with Freak? Oh, and Burnt Norton... this interlude always throws me off when I get to that part... The visuals were okay to me, I still don't like the album artwork, I think reusing UV footage worked okay for MTWBT because they also mixed in new footage, but Freak was very lazily put together, touring was minimal and I wished to see some of the songs performed, but idk... it was an underwhelming and awkward time being a fan for me.
6. Lust for Life: Oh, LFL, my sweet summer child, you could have been one of the best... so I'll start with the positive~ 13 Beaches, Love, Cherry, and tracks 10-16 are the best songs on the album. Heroin, Change, and Get Free are complete standouts and showcase how much progress she's made. The LFL album trailer and the Love music video were my favorite visuals for this era. I saw her a third time, and I was impressed with the concert. I personally think she's made progress performing, and I loved the tour this time around. *ahem* So... now the bad~ Lust for Life is her weakest title track, Lana deserved better advice in the process of putting the song together and both Lana and The Weeknd deserved better lyrics to sing to. The music video was also... meh. Cherry and White Mustang deserved better production. The White Mustang music video is just as bad as Freak to me. The "bitch" and "fuck" in Cherry is cringe to me but I still listen to it bc it's a great song. In My Feelings and Coachella are the worst songs on the album. IMF needed better production. I also have to say although it had great vocals, the lyrics in the first verse are terrible. Coachella is just a song I can't listen to. It's one song concept that I WISH she had worked on instead of slapping a beat on it and calling it a day. Idc how much she likes it, its BAD. It could be good, the concept is there, but the end product is BAD. I even removed it from my music library. Groupie Love and Summer Bummer could've been separate singles released before the album, but... since she decided to release it with the album after the supposed May release (which would've been a good time), I wasn't in the right mood to get into these songs... or the whole album, in fact. ASAP was good, idk why she had to have Playboi Carti on that damn song. Even though I had to rearrange the track list to get some consistency when listening, it still doesn't... flow well... and um... yeah. RIP the LFL era.

People are moaning about how they don’t like generic pop when they have people like Beyoncé and Charli XCX for their profile pics like what.

yikes, some of ya'll are insufferable 
 
anyways, im curious to hear the rest of the album and how and if Love and Fear will have a different sound.

But everyone's calling it her worst album yet over one song... Almost all of you were praising handmade heaven and it's lyricism why don't we wait and see the album itself?

This thread is turning fucking cancer jesus

She's made it clear that we're getting new music because of the literal opposite of this. 2016-17 was when she didn't have much inspiration for music and why she pursued other things. Whatever you're disliking about any new material isn't coming from a lack of drive from her. 
 
I definitely sense something different about her music, but I'm still enjoying it as much as any other project. Maybe I'm just too much of a stan to have a different perspective

I'm confused Yall do know marina isn't bjork,lana or even charlis mixtape work? Lmao handmade heaven was great,calm down she hasn't really done indie/alt pop stuff in years now.

shes been pure pop since electra heart dude,I mean froot was a lil left of centre with the pop rock/new wave stuff but she's always been a pop star.

Hi gays, can we pls have a gag order on discussion of whether or not Venice Bitch is the best thing since sliced bread? I think we've beaten that dead horse into extinction. Pls & thx. Sincerely, my sanity

Who are these bitches that get to be friends with her? And how do I become one of them? Lana we’re almost the same age and I do several of the things on your baddie inventory list. If I were one of her bitches I’d make her spill some tea on nfr. The way this era has gone makes me believe these girls are a terrible influence on her

holy shit we really went through feb with no news from lana

Maybe. Or maybe she used it because it rhymed. lol Next to blue, Lana’s usually singing about June/summer. I don’t think I’m going to buy the poetry book.

Ok, but really. Lana needs to release something to end this.

This needed to be said on the first page of this thread
