Happy Valentines Day! I started releasing Lana covers on Valentines Day so I thought I'd do the same for this year. Hope you all enjoy it. Share it with anyone you think might enjoy it and all that

Sure, but if someone feels like her WHOLE discography is limited in a negative way then there's no point even being on an LDR forum.

The 24 hate is just so ... ew

The video is extremely beautiful, definitely my favourite from this era so far. Although, I can't help but imagine what these clips would have looked like in what they were originally intended for. You can tell the clips are really old based by her hair as well as her pale blue nails, which match the July 2014 Rolling Stone cover. I guess Lana really wanted these clips to see the light of day, so she chose to match them with Freak.

at least i still have @

this is still true

The hairstyle/wigstyle is from the same age as the chateau where "Born To Die" video was filmed. So, verdant pompousness and flamboyance is here on purpose.
 

 
 
Although Ultraviolence is my God Almighty, my Fire, my Ocean, my Master Angelic Torturer, my Blood, my Darkest Paradise and my Fairest Diamond Love, Born To Die is few milimeters close. I could of make this the cover for Ultra, but it suits more BTD and I am more than satisfied with my UV covers, with Clockwork Orange at the top, like a cherry on a whipped cream of delicious tart.
 

Something non-spectacular and simple (best scenes from meh video) (btw. these covers suck because I hate the video and I'm not so mad about the song, so rather browse previous pages):
 

 

Absolutely beautiful. It hurts.

she is beautiful

i think she's gotten better musically over time for me personally. i find her to be a far more interesting artist now then when she first came out, even though i loved her when she first came out too.
 
i just think people are expecting btd quality eras, and that was very much a one off thing for her, but fans cant let go and they get frustrated. its cute people care so much, but i've come to terms with just rolling with the punches when it comes to her nowdays, as long as the albums are great i'm happy............everything else is fun, but i can take it or leave it since it comes second to the music, and i still love the music.
 
chart and sales wise, she was always going to decline, she was always a niche artist who got a lucky break with btd and she was never going to be able to maintain that sort of success over and over. shes just not that type of artist and her music doesnt have that sort of pull.

All of her records have great lyrics, side by side with average lyrics, side by side with lyrics that make me go 'wtf?', but I don't care that much about lyrics if they're not that good - I take lyrics that move me as a bonus (and on Honeymoon I'd include the title track, TLY, Salvatore and TBD as among her best).
 
Musically, she's gotten better over time, although the high points on BTD are still the most exciting things that she's created for my personal tastes.
 
I don't care that much about music videos, but each 'era' has its own aesthetic, and it feels like it's only on this board that every latest thing gets trashed - in the broader world, people either hate her, or love whatever she does, or move on from her (here is the only place that people love her and hate everything she does at the same time).
 
I don't care about what she wears when she buys coffee, so maybe I'm missing out on a big element of her supposed 'decline', but overall, 2014-now have always been fascinating times for me to be a fan.

Artistically, I don't think she's declining. She's exploring different sounds with each album, so it might be hard to take if you're super attached to a sound from one specific era of hers. You have BTD stans who keep waiting for her to return to that style of music, UV stans who wanted her to continue that way, meanwhile Lana just wants to make songs with whatever sound she finds interesting at the time.
 
There's no denying that budget-wise things aren't as great as they were in the BTD days when she was putting out masterpieces like the Ride video. But I think this is a result of a business situation rather than because Lana is starting to suck.

The only thing declining is the quality of discussion on this forum.
 
"Video Games" and AKA were what made me a fan. I loved her songwriting on BTD for the most part, but the production was a big disappointment to me. I would absolutely be here if HM had been Lana's debut album. HM is more the record I had hoped BTD would be.

Pressed Born To Die stan

I think people expect Lana to perform huge worldwide tours and do tv appearances and interact more. But in reality Lana has been this way forever, so...pressed BTD Stan it is.
 
 
BTD 2012 : "Is she too nervous to perform after the SNL disaster?"
Paradise 2013 : "She's doing some tv...but her tours aren't going dad rn..."
UV 2014 : "Why don't we have a tour yet?"
HM 2015-16 : "We need new videos...tour...something!"
