Listening to SYTH poolside on a beautiful day… I think I must’ve already said yes to heaven

Almost like a track list 

I am grateful that it’s so similar. I will say that. I still am grateful it’s out at all and that I can buy it and stream it to support her. I also know it’s Lana’s art, not mine, and she’s free to make whatever artistic decisions she wants.
 
I’m just saying, in my opinion, an HQ version of the version that blew up would’ve been my perfect world (and the most logical choice). 

It’s not the same version as the one that blew up in popularity, therefore it is changed. Whether or not she changed it 5 years ago or now, it’s not the version that made her/her team consider releasing it at all. My entire point stands. Releasing an unreleased song because it became popular but not even releasing the most popular version of it (a changed version of it - whether it was the “original” version or not) doesn’t make sense.

I don't understand the hype around Fine China.

tbh using this as a lead for a cute little uv unreleased ep with angels forever, your girl, fine china, lake placid would’ve been cute (cherry blossom would’ve also belonged there but whatever) 
 
i think little EPs for each era would work much better than one big unreleased album with multiple era’s worth of songs 

not to be negative or ungrateful, and this is the last time i'll complain about it, but this is exactly the reason i don't want her to release unreleased songs. instead of just releasing them as they were leaked but in higher quality, she changes them, and now it's not as good. now i'll still be streaming the demo, my hope of ever getting a HQ version of that demo are dashed away, and now there's the added messiness that there's now yet another version of the song, and now the general public will know this official version as the actual song.
i know it's kind of stupid to complain about this because why should I be mad that Lana is getting paid for her song or that another exists when I can just listen to the original, but I'm just disappointed I'm never getting the original demo in HQ and that I still have to use a bootleg demo offline file.

I really like it. I've always loved her darker, slower songs, so getting a full album of it is great, especially with the experimental twists. I love that she was willing to do something different and that it's a consistent, cohesive project. The only songs I don't care for on second listen are Fine Line and The Drama.
It's really nice to enjoy the album this much because High Road was unlistenable to me. I tried multiple times to listen to it and just couldn't.

lmao yeah I’m just going to pull up the James Ford demo on my files app

I fully respect that it’s her song to do what she wants with, and I’m glad it’s not too different from the demo. But I also hate the logic of “this song blew up, so I’m going to release it, but I’m going to change it for its official release.” At least release the demo version alongside this version for those people (like me) who actually just want a HQ version of the demo and to give her streams. Now I’m still going to be reverting to listening to the demo mostly which won’t make her any money. 

Sigh why did she have to change it? I’ll stay listening to the unreleased version.

Arcadia is basically unlistenable
The lyrics are forgettable, repetitive and pointless, and the delivery is whiny 
The best thing about it is the actual title
I feel like Clayton probably told her it was good and/or secretly co-wrote it because I find it difficult to believe that she approved it for release
 

It’s really sad and disturbing to me how everything has gone full circle and a lot of the general public is just back to making fun of Britney again. In 2021 at the height of #FreeBritney, people acted like they had learned so much since the 2000s about treating women fairly, understanding mental health, etc., and as soon as Britney’s out of the conservatorship and not acting how people expect her to, now she’s just become the punchline of a joke again. It’s disgusting. Though she’s done so much for me and so many others out there, I can’t help but think that she would’ve led a much happier life never being famous.
