Venice Jesus Whore

Not to sound pretentious but this album has made all the music I normally listen to sound so basic and simplistic.  It feels like it’s ruined other music for me, hopefully just temporarily. 

I think your posts were good because you were just sharing your opinion. I really struggled with liking COTCC and BB at first, so I know how it feels to be disappointed when you're a long-time fan and wanting to share your thoughts even while most are just being very positive.
The problem comes in (I'm not talking about you) when people just come in here to shit on the album in bad faith. There's a difference between sharing your opinion and simply coming in here to trash Lana's work. I appreciate that you only did the former.

Judah Smith Interlude gives me chills. It’s haunting.

I think it’s rare that Lana makes a bad song, but I was thinking about this when watching Beth Therese’s reaction video and she talked about how piano-heavy the album was. I just think the piano ballads of COTCC and BB were more basic and stripped back, whereas these piano ballads have a lot of interesting production on top of them. I mean you can see that the melodies, lyrics, and vocals aren’t the problem when you see people gushing over the LMLYLAW demo. Pretty much the only difference is the production.

I mean tbh COTCC was pretty much all acoustic guitar based besides like 3 songs? LMLYLAW has very different lyrics in the final version and the demo lyrics are wayyyyy more interesting imo. I think Lyric/Melody/Vocal are actually the things that messed up bb/COTCC more than production imo

The way Candy Necklace is #2 on the poll… piano ballads were never the issue… the issue is we were getting BAD piano ballads

Kind of referencing the LDR album process discussion thread, Candy Necklace, Let the Light in, and Paris, Texas have some of my favorite vocals from her since 2015

my guess is that the label wanted to continue with the hype of born to die so they just released an extended version aka paradise. it's kinda what happens nowadays when artists release a "deluxe" version just to re hype the Og album

In my opinion none of the recent leaks come CLOSE to any of the songs on the new album. Ocean Blvd is prolific,  it's superior sonically and lyrically. 

That was just Lana in general for me. All the music I listen to they’re either dead or in retirement  lana is the only artist who is bringing out new material for me
