Venice Jesus Whore

I love BTD, but the memories I made with the other albums are more vivid and important because of the moment I was living I guess, still BTD have an important place on my heart because was the songs I saw her singing live, the first songs I heard from Lana and all of that stuff, I know is confusing but I'm more attached to the other albums, and now with L4L idk what's to come, where those songs will be playing for me, but it might take #3 in a few months, idk lol sorry for this stupid reply 

i always have to stop and stare at your sig every time i see your posts 

it's the playlist i made for my story that's called "Innocence lost". it is happening in the early 70s and it's a story about young artists who fall in love, they marry each other, have a son, but he's a junkie, they have problems with finding jobs etc. and in the end they finally gain fame but their love is wasted. they get divorced although they still love each other, they just can't be together anymore :)

i even made a booklet if anyone's interested:

 

someone edit the audio and mute the baby

I refuse to listen to this for a 12th time

I can't hear anything over that fucking baby crying

I'm obsessed with White Mustang

Track-by-track thoughts:
Love and Lust for Life are definitely the most radio friendly. I think Love is great, but I tend to skip it since I've known it for a while. Lust for Life is good, but forgettable imo. I have nothing against it, just have no motivation to listen to it. 13 Beaches is the best song on the album. The focus on the little details makes the song. That muffled recording at the beginning, the radio frequency sound effects throughout the song, it really makes a huge difference. The way the chorus starts so dramatically reminds me of Born to Die. I found the swearing on Cherry (for some reason I always want to call it Peaches?) comical at first in a good way, but now I just really like it without it being funny. The chorus is killer. White Mustang was one of my first favorites on the album, still is. Don't know what to say other than it's so good. Wish it was longer, but not at the expense of it becoming more repetitive. Summer Bummer grew on me, but now I'm finding I'm getting tired of it a lot quicker than the other songs. Not sure why. The opera-sounding background vocals are pretty incredible and add to the eeriness as they grow louder and louder. When Lana sings "Groupie Love" in the song, it's so hypnotizing, and it's even better with A$AP singing with it too at the end. Literally makes me feel high without being high. In My Feelings- can't get into this song that much, not sure why. Coachella - this is probably one of my most listened to out of what was released before the entire album was released. I think it's a cute song, but the quality definitely seems a little subpar compared to the rest of the album. I love it, but I understand the hate. I really like the story the song tells though. God Bless America - The first time I listened to this song, I was a little underwhelmed. The second time, I was listening to it in my car and it just clicked for me. Really, really, really enjoy it now. The way she sings the chorus, paired with the vintage vocal effects, the gunshots, and the melody, just wow. When the World - I like this one. I think it's a good concept for a song. Her singing is beautiful in the chorus, and the prechorus or end of the verses reminds me so much of her older and unreleased stuff. BPBP - Gorgeous. Not much to say. Just a good one. Tomorrow Never Came - This song I probably have the least connection or opinion on. Just haven't really got into it. I'm indifferent. It's pretty good, but forgettable for me, but I still enjoy listening to it. Sean sounds so much like his dad.  Heroin - One of my favorites. The frantic vocals remind me of Noir. Just such a great song. The prechorus ("Life rocked me") is to die for, and then the chorus comes in and somehow makes it even better. Change - Truly one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. The imagery of the lyrics combined with her beautiful singing and the gorgeous piano that somehow fits perfectly with the imagery she's describing in the lyrics. It truly creates an this atmosphere of wind blowing, autumn, and a change coming. It's insanely gorgeous. Get Free - Need more time to work on this but I like it. More frantic vocals that remind me of Noir. Overall album thoughts:
I think 13 Beaches, Cherry, and White Mustang are the best 3 consecutive songs on the album. BPBP and TNC definitely feel like they came from a different time period. This album is very different from anything else I've ever heard, and very different for Lana too even though it's very clearly her style and her sound. There's no way I could've ever predicted a sound like this or even known it could've existed, as weird as that sounds. This album is only continuing to get better and better for me. I wasn't feeling it that much the first listen. I LOVE how she incorporates Lana with Lizzy Grant and her unreleased style. Some of her melodies and the way she sings things here, I never thought I'd ever hear on released material. She keeps her "Lana" style for most of the album, while incorporating her more Lizzy/unreleased style here and there. I think this will be my favorite album of hers. BTD will always have the most sentimental value to me and can't be replaced. It has a special place in my heart. However, this album is the most listenable to me. I love the diversity and just every song is so good. UV and HM are great albums too, but they're often too heavy for me to listen to in full. I feel like I could listen to this album in full and not feel so depressed and worn out from it, I could just fully enjoy it.  I love how much she's matured in what she sings about. I was getting tired of her same repeated song themes. It's really refreshing to see a mature approach to things, and to hear her singing about the world and something larger than her and her relationships. It's hard for me to pick favorite songs, because I love each song for their own reasons, and they're all so good. I think my top 3, if I had to pick, might be 13 Beaches, White Mustang, and Heroin though. If the whole album was similar to those songs though, I think it'd be too dark and depressing like her past albums.

Change is one of the most beautiful songs i think I've ever heard

Born to Die- Born to Die, Off to the Races, Blue Jeans, Video Games, National Anthem, Summertime Sadness... sorry, there's no other Lana production that comes close to these.

For me LFL starts from 13 Beaches

Coachella is a good song. I really enjoy it and it was probably my most listened to out of the singles that were released before the entire album was released. The quality does sound subpar compared to the rest of the album, but I enjoy it and I think the story of the song is unique and nice (comparing Woodstock and the problems the world faced then with Coachella, the problems the world is facing today, and worrying about the futures of children while you're supposed to be celebrating).

I'm not sure if she's proud of it, but it definitely seems like she's more disconnected from this album for some reason. 

see if a car has hit something in the road.

More dedication to creating visual themes for each album. BTD set the bar high, and then it got worse with each album. None of her videos since BTD compare to them, and the way her videos, photography, music style, and style in person came altogether was amazing. I miss the visionary (literally, visuals) she used to be. UV definitely had a visual theme that fit the music style (the photography and her style changed), but the videos weren't that great imo. 

I feel like it's an album she made to please everyone else. Not just the fans but the media, critics etc. Even if it's not obvious but I too get the vibe that Lana isn't that connected to it.

I really get a vibe that Lana isn't as proud of this record as the past ones. I don't know why but it isn't autobiographical and she just doesn't seem as close to it.

I love each album less than the previous one (from BTD onwards)

Omg I'd fuck

I can't believe she wrote change in such a short time frame, that's crazy. I liked reading this more than I did the pitchfork interview
