Ok so what are yall's favourite Lana ballads? Mine: Fine China Black Beauty Cherry Blossom happiness is a butterfly Yosemite

i mean it doesn't deserve more, FROOT and TFJ deserved an 8.something and this a 7.2-3 but Pitchforks' rating are meaningless she should definitely re-record her early stuff but she'll never do it, there's not a chance in hell also i find it really interesting how she says she doesn't like to hear her old stuff cause past marina would've probably hated modern marina (especially love+fear)

the best concert set would've been: 10 - all the tracks from ADIAML since she's supposed to be promoting it 4 - one song from each past era 1 - Pink Convertible and MAYBE add INHA as a nod to the fans who want it released or something... but IDK

Happy worked perfectly as a piano ballad cause all the other tracks on FROOT were so different that it stood out wonderfully, but on ADIAML half of the songs are boring piano ballads and it's just boring to hear them back to back? as for the half of the album that's not ballads, it's really good, Venus Fly Trap is a career highlight overall there's really no musical growth from FROOT but at least it's better than L+F Charli did 20 songs when I saw her, the full Charli album + 4/5 songs, marina could've easily done that too and maybe sneak in pink convertible since she didn't have time constraints but whatever

I am so mad that the only song that had the potential to be amongst her career highlights, Venus Fly Trap, is literally not even 3 minutes long that song screams TFJ from every pore and that [misognystic slur] had the NERVE to cut it to 2 minutes? fuck right off marina

FATM: 4 years, 3 years and hasn't released anything in 3 years so probably even more until her new album Melanie: 4 years Lorde herself: 4 years between PH and Melodrama Beyonce: 3 years Rihanna: 4 years and hasn't released anything in 5 Carly Rae Jepsen: 4 years artists DON'T release albums every 15 months just because Taylor released 2 albums back to back and Lana is doing that too it does not mean it's the norm LMAOO?

Yeah Melodrama tour ended less than 3 years ago which is not that long??

Can we stop calling comeback every time an artist releases an album within their normal album cycle?? ?? Just as much time passed between PH and Melodrama..

lmaooo the fact that every indie artists who came out in 2012/2013 had synesthesia ? they probably talked themselves into having it

good writers/composers are good from a very young age, Fiona Apple wrote her first album at 16, Lorde too, etc... I doubt she’s gonna get much better with time than this

The only different thing is the vocal take and the bridge ?? idk it’s basically identical

She doesn’t have the range to be Bjork, especially cause she’s not the musical genius in the family. She just has a nice voice and an incredibly charming image, which is what propelled her to fame As for Katy, she burned out big time with her last two albums, but Teenage Dream is a flawless pop album and she was THE moment and the biggest singer of her time So while yeah she didn’t last at least she made an impact when she could which is more than most people can say As for Billie these last two songs are incredibly boring and subpar on all levels (especially considering how smart musically was her debut EP) she really needs somebody to write for her cause she can’t write a sentence or melody to save her life

lana’s SILENCE ? she literally released an album two months ago and is planning to release another album within the year yal are so fucking spoiled

everything happens for a reason

I hate how uninspired and flat k-12 production is compared to cry baby which had a unique production for each song Like what was the point of putting trap beats in a ballad like high school sweethearts???? WHAT WAS THE REASON

I mean.. tbh I don’t care who sings it I just want it to be available publicly lmaooo samw thing for up n down I would have LOVED to see Bella Thorne make a comeback with that

oh dw I totally get it lol i just thought it was interesting cause I do believe she has at least heard this song in particular (the singing style live is p similar too imho)

you for me is a BANGER is anybody gonna release it? cause i can totally see it doing really well

yeah I agree It’s not even a matter of being political or being outspoken it’s that she’s not actually saying anything in her songs just name dropping issues and problems we have like yes they exist we know it wanna say something of significance next time?? like saying sexism exists women are discriminated is not activism it’s just saying things

I don't think Lana has ever said anything about it, but she DEFINITELY listens to Mazzy Star or at least knows them cause they have a LOT in common they're incredibly reminiscent of Lana's dream pop california vibe IDK if that counts but IMHO she's definitely heard this song

she definitely has some issues i think ?? like i get that it's not all her fault but so many artists have had issues with their label and still managed to release shit (even azealia banks released a comeback single, although it didn't go anywhere, but still) if she truly wanted she would've found a way in the 8 years but clearly something is holding her back

Ok this is actually a great line, subtle enough but at the same time really explicit

Not THE greatest because Yayo exists but it’s definitely one of her best ballads

yeah but VTP sounds like a banger so I wanted it to be longer..

apparently Venus fly trap is around that length i mean 2: something
