Venice Jesus Whore

I promise I’m not throwing shade, looking down on anyone, saying my taste is better or more sophisticated than anyone. I seriously meant none of my comment to be hurtful or snobby at all though I may have failed at that. 
 
I do understand the album is very slow. It’s not the one I’m going to put on in the background when friends and family are around. Doin Time and Summertime Sadness will be the songs played then. Songs like the title track, Sweet, Kintsugi, Fingertips are not my usual favorite type of Lana song or song in general at all. I didn’t even care for the title track much when it was released. But her songwriting on those songs is just unbelievable, especially listened to in the context of the rest of the album. 
 
I’m just saying that this album is feels like Lana has put so much detail, thought, and of herself in it. It feels like such an expansion into who Lana is and such a mix of styles from all her previous albums that I feel like fans are missing out if they aren’t giving it a chance and diving in (because it can be slow and depressing and hard to appreciate right away).

I mean this in the nicest and least pretentious possible: I feel sad for people who don’t vibe with this album and don’t consider it her best work. It’s one of the best albums of all time and my personal favorite album of all time. I’ve never seen her songwriting so strong or so personal, so creative (and lord knows she’s always been incredibly creative). This feels like the most Lana album we’ve ever gotten and the most of Lana we’ve ever been given.
 
I understand people have different music tastes and have different experiences and personal ties to certain albums or music. But I really don’t understand how, if you’re a true Lana fan, you don’t like this album or don’t consider it one of her best. I NEVER thought she’d be able to top NFR or her other albums, but this feels almost like it’s in a different realm for me. And that’s not me knocking on any of her past albums because I think just as highly of them as I ever have - it’s more of a testament to how highly I think of this album.

If you’re that bored and desperate to be entertained then idk what to tell you… that seems kind of pathetic 

THIS! she works hard enough giving us an album every 1-2 years and that’s all I could ever ask for 

the way some people cannot wrap their head around the fact that their favorite artist is not a circus animal designed to dance and perform for them 24/7 to "keep them entertained" is truly something
 
i am so glad she does not listen to her "fans". some of them are truly her biggest enemies truly.

what do you want her to do lmfao? she doesn’t care about numbers so she’s not gonna go on every talk show in the universe. she hasn’t done much after album releases since 2017 and if you don’t like that unstan… be grateful we’re getting multiple mv’s 
we’re not complaining cause what else is there to do? she dropped an amazing album and that’s all we can ask for

With all the things that happened this year we still have :
 
a new magazine in 10 days  Two new songs in less than two months Music video with her dad Say yes to heaven ( new version ) Possible tour Music videos with beautiful visuals  this era ATE 

Wtf is this even

It’s a beautiful life. Remember that too, for me.

I do find it so interesting to compare the score to someone like Caroline Polacheck, who's last album was Godly, but the critics seem so much more receptive to the fact that Caroline herself is a genius than bestowing that on lana. They have a built in misunderstanding no matter how much she says otherwise that Lana, even with the recent praise, still has some sort of machine behind her, like it's not enough for them. Idk what more she can give them to make them happy, so fuck em.

Thanks for explaining. It's indisputable that it's a good record. Ocean Boulevard, for me, stands among her great songs ever. But I completely understand why some people would find this kind of music depressing and stay clear of it. It's not for everyone. So, just make peace with the fact that Lana is not Taylor or some "basic bitch' haha.
